Nintendo announced on October 6 that it will release a “Nintendo Switch 2 (Japanese, domestic use only) Selectable Software Set” on November 12, priced at ¥63,980 including tax, according to Game Watch, INSIDE, Automaton, Game*Spark and ASCII.jp. The set pairs the Switch 2 console with a download code for one Nintendo-published game, redeemed through the Nintendo eShop at no additional charge, Game Watch and INSIDE reported. [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]
The three eligible titles are “Mario Kart World” and “Nintendo Switch Sports Resort”, both Switch 2 software, and “Tomodachi Collection Wakuwaku Life”, a Switch title, the outlets reported. The download code is valid until March 31, 2027, and Nintendo advises buyers to redeem it within that period, according to Game Watch, INSIDE, Game*Spark and ASCII.jp. INSIDE and Game*Spark said redeeming a code requires a Nintendo Account and an internet connection. [ 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 ]
Game Watch put the standalone Switch 2 console at ¥59,980, making the set ¥4,000 more expensive than the console alone; Automaton gave the same ¥4,000 gap. Automaton and ASCII.jp listed standalone download prices of ¥8,980 for “Mario Kart World”, ¥5,980 for “Nintendo Switch Sports Resort” and ¥7,100 for “Tomodachi Collection Wakuwaku Life”. Automaton calculated the set is roughly ¥3,000 to ¥5,000 cheaper than buying the console and a title separately, while ASCII.jp put the maximum saving at ¥4,980 for buyers who choose “Mario Kart World”. [ 1 , 3 , 5 ]
Pre-orders have started at the Nintendo Store, and nationwide game retailers and online shops will begin taking pre-orders once preparations are complete, INSIDE, Automaton, Game*Spark and 4Gamer.net reported. INSIDE and Game*Spark also noted the set qualifies for a Paidy deferred-payment cashback campaign at the Nintendo Store running from October 7 to October 20 for customers who pre-order with Paidy during that period.

Game Watch and ASCII.jp reported that Nintendo has no plans to add titles to the redemption list. ASCII.jp added that the product also suits buyers shopping for gifts and suggested pre-ordering before year-end stock shortages, and disclosed that the article may earn affiliate revenue. [ 1 , 5 ]
Por qué importa
The set is a Japan-only product, so it affects domestic buyers rather than Nintendo's wider console business. For those buyers it lowers the effective cost of a first game, with a March 2027 deadline attached to the discount. Tech outlets framed the offer around the price gap against buying the console and a title separately.
