TL;DR: The Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle is on sale for £279.99 on the Nintendo Store, saving you £49.99 on list price.


Black Friday is finished and at this point you don't really expect any big deal releases, but Nintendo has surprised everyone.

You can now pick up the Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle for just £279.99 on the Nintendo Store. This console bundle includes a Nintendo Switch console with Joy-Con controllers and a free full game digital download code for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

The Nintendo Switch lets you play Mario Kart any way you like. Up to eight players can connect for local multiplayer fun via wireless play. If you're playing in TV mode or tabletop mode, up to four players can enjoy split-screen multiplayer. You can even challenge racers from around the world.

This deal saves you almost £50 compared to buying the console and game separately.
