Nintendo Switch 2 Pokémon Pokopia bundle coming to Europe and the US

Nintendo is launching a new Switch 2 bundle with Pokémon Pokopia in Europe on July 2, priced at £429.99 / €499.99. The package includes a launch-model Switch 2 and a digital download of Pokopia, the Dragon Quest Builders-style spinoff that dropped in March.

The timing is deliberate — Switch 2 is getting a €30 price hike in Europe on September 1, pushing the console alone to €499.99. That makes the bundle a genuine deal if you were already eyeing Pokopia. The box art is also a highlight: there's a Ditto on the side, and it rules.

US buyers have their own bundle option, available while supplies last. For $499.99 you get a Switch 2 plus a digital copy of Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia — saving $20 on Bananza or Pokopia, or $30 on the $79.99 Mario Kart World.

Pokémon Pokopia launched March 5 and quickly became one of the Switch 2's highest-rated games. Polygon called it a little grindy but still very enjoyable — "if you can find the patience for its litany of tedious chores and slowpoke pacing, Pokémon Pokopia serves as an earnest reminder to nurture our world and all the little things in it." Expansions are also already confirmed to be on the way.
