Nonetheless, while all these leaks increase the hype surrounding the Switch 2, they don’t bring us closer to seeing the new hardware in the wild.
While this latestNintendounveiling isn’t for its next-gen console, it is an upgraded model of the original Switch.
For autumn, Nintendo are releasing the ‘OLED Model:Mario Kart 8 DeluxeBundle’.
Before you say anything, we know – this is pretty underwhelming, not least of all because Nintendo has created similar bundles using the same game in the past.
Consequently, fans aren’t overly impressed.

“Wow, very creative bundle here! Never seen anything like this before!” Twitter user @RGT_85 sarcasticallyposted.
Other fans were less bitter about the familiar bundle being used and managed to generate some excitement about the release.
“Old faithful is returning!”commented@PaulGaleNetwork, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. But improving it with 12 months of NSO? Nice!”
There are plenty of other titles Nintendo could have paired with its OLED Switch, but here we are. At least having 13 months of Nintendo Switch Online membership helps make this deal feel a little more rewarding.
