Nintendo is running a limited-time promotion that knocks $20 off when you buy a Nintendo Switch 2 alongside Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2. The offer runs from 12 April to 9 May 2026 and is available at participating retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Walmart, both online and in-store at select locations.
What The Nintendo Switch 2 Bundle Deal Includes
The promotion is straightforward: purchase a Nintendo Switch 2 console and a copy of Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 at the same time, and you save $20 on the total. The discount applies to both the physical and digital versions of the game package, which bundles both Galaxy titles together. That brings the combined cost down from roughly US$520 to US$500 before tax.
It is worth noting that this is not a traditional hardware bundle with the game packed in the box. You need to buy the console and the game together in a single transaction at a participating retailer for the discount to apply. Nintendo has posted full terms on its retail offers page for anyone who wants the fine print.
What’s New With Super Mario Galaxy On Switch 2
Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 is not just a straight port of the Wii originals. The collection includes enhanced resolution, improved UI, additional Storybook Chapters, and a new Assist Mode designed to make the games more accessible. A free update on Nintendo Switch 2 also unlocks 4K resolution support and Joy-Con 2 mouse controls for a second player, giving the co-op experience a notable upgrade.
For anyone unfamiliar, the first Super Mario Galaxy follows Mario on a journey across the cosmos to recover stolen Power Stars from Bowser, with Rosalina lending a hand along the way. The sequel adds Yoshi to the mix as Mario travels through space aboard a starship shaped like his own head. Both games are widely regarded as some of the best 3D Mario adventures ever made, and they hold up remarkably well on modern hardware.

Why Nintendo Is Doing This Now
The timing is clearly tied to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which is currently in theatres. The film has had a mixed critical reception, but it is doing exactly what Nintendo likely hoped: putting the Galaxy brand back in the spotlight and introducing the games to a new audience. Rather than launching a brand-new Mario title to coincide with the movie, Nintendo appears to be banking on nostalgia and the strength of the Galaxy games themselves to drive console sales.
It is also worth remembering that Nintendo very rarely discounts its own hardware or first-party software. Any price reduction on a current-generation console, even a modest $20, is unusual for the company. For anyone who has been on the fence about picking up a Switch 2, particularly families with kids who enjoyed the movie, this is one of the few concrete incentives Nintendo has offered so far.
The Switch 2’s Growing Library
Beyond the Galaxy games, the Nintendo Switch 2 is building a solid lineup heading into the back half of 2026. Pokémon Pokopia has already generated significant buzz, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is due within weeks, and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is expected to be a major technical showcase for the console. The platform is still early in its life cycle, but the release calendar is filling out quickly.
If you have been waiting for a reason to jump in, the $20 saving is modest but the timing is arguably ideal. You get two of Mario’s best adventures running in 4K on new hardware, with a growing catalogue of exclusives on the horizon. The deal is live from 12 April and runs through 9 May, so there is a decent window to take advantage of it.
