The second big Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive is out now and a few retailers are offering deals that include it with the console.
While the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 was a massive commercial success, the new console has been a hard sell for anyone who isn’t interested in Mario Kart World.
Beyond that, the only other first party game was the hugely disappointing Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, with the rest of the launch line-up consisting almost entirely of third party ports.
However, this week marks the launch of the next big Switch 2 exclusive, with Donkey Kong Bananza, which means now is the perfect opportunity to invest in a Switch 2 if you haven’t already.
Where to buy the Donkey Kong Bananza Nintendo Switch 2 bundle
Save money with these bundles
Nintendo is offering a bundle that includes both the console and a digital copy of the game for £454.98, though this doesn’t save you any money and costs as much as buying the console and game separately.
There’s also an option to include the game with the Mario Kart World bundle for £488.98, but you’re really only saving money on Mario Kart World, since it normally costs £66.99 digitally.
Currys has a slightly better offer. While it has run out of Switch 2 consoles on their own, it still has the Mario Kart World bundle in stock, and you have the option to add a physical copy of Donkey Kong Bananza for £55.24, over £10 less than Nintendo’s usual £66.99 asking price.
This makeshift bundle is still very pricey though, since it comes to £485.23. But since it includes Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, you are getting everything you need for the best Switch 2 experience.
Argos is also offering the exact same deal on its own website, as well as one for just the standard Switch 2 (so no Mario Kart World) that costs £451.23.
These offers are ever so slightly cheaper than Very’s, which is selling the Switch 2 console, Mario Kart World, and Donkey Kong Bananza for a total of £496.

Alternatively, there’s also a bundle that comes with the console, Donkey Kong Bananza, and the Switch 2 version of The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, but it’s even pricier at £525 and doesn’t include Mario Kart World.
So far, these are the only dedicated Donkey Kong Bananza bundles we can find, but more may turn up as other retailers get more stock in.
At the very least, the Switch 2 itself isn’t as difficult to purchase as it was last month. Not only does Nintendo’s own website have stock back in, so do retailers like Amazon, where you can buy the Switch 2 on its own or the Mario Kart World bundle, and then throw in Donkey Kong Bananza for £64.95.
The game itself is cheapest to buy digitally, through the Nintendo eShop, where it’s going for £58.99.
