Okay, so listen up. I’m scrolling through the internet, right? Doing the whole “let’s see what’s out there” thing, and boom — something jumps out at me. It’s not even Amazon Prime Day yet, but hey, the Nintendo Switch 2 — yeah, you heard me, with Mario Kart World — is kicking around again in the UK. ShopTo, specifically. Weird timing, am I right?
So here’s the thing. It’s not technically cheaper, but somehow it saves you cash? Console alone: nearly 400 quid. Game? Over 60 bones, depending on your shop of choice. But together, it’s like a magic bargain. Economics are strange sometimes.
Oh, and hey, Argos has this setup too — £429.99 for the whole shebang. Not sure which one I’d pick… Endless debates in my head over pennies and all that.
Flashback moment — June 5, they lifted the curtain on this Switch 2. Bigger screen, they say—1080p or something grand like that. Toss in the old dock for 4K gaming. Techy specs? HDR, VRR, and up to 120 fps, jargon that makes my head spin a bit.
Could play Cyberpunk 2077 on it, I suppose, but let’s be honest — it’s all about Mario Kart World and Zelda for me. Totally biased, sue me. Oh, and the bundle? Digital download for Mario Kart, because we live in the future, folks.
Comes with the famous Joy-Con controllers, naturally. Straps, a dock, HDMI, the whole shindig. Feels like unpacking Christmas, but you bought it for yourself, which is frankly kind of better, if you ask me.
Anyway, Switch 2 is apparently the hottest handheld under the sun right now. Sold 5 million units its first weekend — I mean, what? That’s bananas. Even the Big Boss at Nintendo had to throw out an apology for how scarce they are. Really paints a picture.
As I dig into Prime Day deals, I’ll let you know if anything else screams “buy me.” Loads out there: SSDs, storage gizmos, monitors, graphics cards, CPUs. Yeah, I’m going down the rabbit hole of tech. What a time to be alive, right?
