Nintendo's Switch 2 bundle lets you pick a free accessory worth up to £50

Nintendo has launched a build-your-own Switch 2 bundle promotion in the UK that hands you a free accessory — worth up to £49.99 — on top of a console, a digital game, and a Nintendo Switch Online membership of your choice. It's a notably flexible deal at a time when the Switch 2 already saw a price hike earlier this year.

The bundle starts with a choice of two consoles: the standalone Switch 2 at £395.99, or the Switch 2 with Pokémon Pokopia included for £429.99. That second option is worth noting — Pokopia normally sells digitally for £58.99, so you're effectively getting it for £34, saving nearly £25. From there, you pick one digital game from a list of eleven titles ranging from Nintendo Switch Sports Resort at £41.99 up to Mario Kart World at £66.99 — the free accessory applies regardless of which game you choose. The NSO membership tier is the third variable, running from a 90-day individual plan at £6.99 to a 12-month Family + Expansion Pack plan at £59.99. That top-tier family plan covers up to eight members, which works out to as little as £7.49 per person per year and includes access to GameCube, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, and Virtual Boy libraries.

The free accessory is the headline hook, and the standout picks are the Samsung and SanDisk 256GB microSD Express Cards, each valued at £49.99. Standard SD cards don't work with Switch 2 due to the console's faster loading architecture, which makes these Express Cards genuinely essential rather than optional extras — getting one for free is a meaningful saving. Other accessory options include wired controllers, console cases, and the Piranha Plant camera.

For pure price comparison, Amazon UK currently lists the Switch 2 plus Pokémon Pokopia bundle for around £394.99, which undercuts Nintendo's own Pokopia bundle slightly. But if you were planning to buy a game, an NSO membership, and a microSD Express Card anyway, Nintendo's promotion stacks those savings in a way a standalone retailer deal can't match.
