Two of the biggest Nintendo Switch 2 game releases of the summer have been slashed in price right now.

With the highly-anticipated Mario Kart World dropping last month, and Donkey Kong Bananza set for a July 17 release, we've scoured the internet to ensure that you get the very best price when shopping for both.


So, if you’ve yet to order or pre-order either, here’s everything you need to know.

How to get Mario Kart World for just £31

If you’ve been looking at purchasing Mario Kart World, you will probably have noticed that it is £74.99 at the likes of Currys, GAME, John Lewis and HMV.

But, there is a way to drop the price quite significantly if you’re open to buying it as part of a bundle.

As we write this, you can purchase a Mario Kart World Nintendo Switch 2 bundle for £569 from Currys. And when you consider what this includes, compared to buying the components individually, there are some serious savings to be had.

With the bundle including the following: Nintendo Switch 2 (£395.99), Joy-Con 2 Wireless Controllers (£74.99), Joy-Con 2 Wheels (£16.99), Joy-Con Switch 2 Camera (£49.99) and Mario Kart World (£74.99).

If you were to buy them individually, this would amount to £612.95, meaning you’ll save £43.95 by doing so, in turn bringing the price of the game down from £74.99 to £31.04.

Even though this deal only really makes sense if you don’t yet have a Nintendo Switch 2, it’s still well worth considering if you’re looking to get the most for your money and you were planning on buying the accessories at some point anyway.

When does Donkey Kong Bananza launch in the UK?

The latest game in the Donkey Kong saga releases on Switch 2 on July 17, here in the UK, both online and in-store. And you can currently take 15% off your pre-order of the game simply by using the code DK15 on the Currys website.

This will make it just shy of £55, instead of the RRP of £64.99 - a nice saving of £10.

You will need to purchase a Nintendo Switch 2 console at the same time to qualify for this exclusive discount.

So, if you’re currently wondering whether to opt for the Mario Kart World bundle or the Donkey Kong one, this is something to keep in mind.

It may also come down to whether you’re more of a Mario Kart player or want to ensure that you have Donkey Kong Bananza as soon as it comes out.

The iconic ape is back as he attempts to get his bananas back from the mysterious VoidCo group. Taking a journey through the dark depths of the Underground World to do so, he and his unlikely companion, Pauline, will battle obstacles and enemies as they make their way through.

Whether you opt for single player or fire up co-op mode to play with a friend, expect hours of fun and a big hit of nostalgia.
