If you’re thinking of buying a Nintendo Switch, chances are you’re wondering if it comes with any games. Worry not; we’ll answer this pressing query and tell you all you need to know about the prestigious hybrid console.
Nintendo’s History of Free Games Coming With Consoles Before The Switch
Before we get to the Switch, we need to look at the precedent set by Nintendo on its previous consoles. The Wii and Wii U had varying degrees of success. Both shipped with free games to incentivize gamers to buy the hardware, so does the Nintendo Switch comes with one? Let’s find out.
Does The Switch Come With Games?
Unfortunately, Nintendo banks on its popularity and mass appeal to get the job done when it comes to the Switch. So that means there aren’t any games that directly come with the Nintendo Switch. While we can see why that might not sit right with many folks, we can’t blame the company. Why give something for free when the masses are ready to buy it at full price?
What About Switch Game Bundles?
If you’re still thinking of getting an all-in-one package deal, then we recommend purchasing a special edition of Switch. You can also buy a bundle where a game comes with Nintendo Switch. Plenty of options are there if you look up deals online through verified retailers.
Which Game Bundles or Limited Editions Are Better?
Nintendo periodically releases new limited editions and game bundles that come with its home consoles. If you’re in the market and have the cash for pricey versions, then by all means, go for them. We’ll list a few favorite editions and bundles of Nintendo Switch that come with games.
1. Mario Choose One Bundle
In a first from Nintendo, the Mario Choose One Edition offerings aren’t bad. Players have the option to pick one of three games. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition, Super Mario U Deluxe Edition, and Super Mario Odyssey are the three choices players can pick from.
All three are excellent games, and we’ll admit we have a slight bias and favoritism toward Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. You can read up on our thoughts on other Switch exclusives in our list of 4 of the best co-op Switch games. In short, Mario Choose One Edition is a fantastic Nintendo Switch bundle that comes with 3 excellent games to choose from.
2. Let’s Go, Pikachu!/ Let’s Go, Eevee Switch Bundle
If you’re a go-getter, you’ll probably get both editions, which is insane, but hey, you do you, my fellow gamers. Pokemon game bundles with Switch have one with Pikachu and the other with Eevee.
The Pokemon Let’s Go! Pikachu and Let’s, Go! Eevee Editions have beautiful artwork to look at. You’ll have serious bragging rights to tell your friends you own a Nintendo Switch with either or both games.
3. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Nintendo Switch Edition
Finally, the last recommendation for a Nintendo Switch bundle that comes with games we have the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Edition. This one is probably our favorite of the bunch and appeals more to us because we’re fighting game fans. If you’re one as well, knock yourself out and buy one for yourself.
The limited edition’s gray coloring gives the Switch an edgy, sleek look that makes it stand out from other colorful bundles. We highly recommend getting this one if you can find it.
