Back in January of this year, people began speculating that GTA6 would cost $100. While people balked at the idea of paying that much for a game, Nintendo is proving that it may be as far-fetched as we may like.

Remember when I said the bundle will let you pick up Mario Kart World at a discount? If you're interested in the game, you may want to take advantage of it. As Forbes reported, the digital version of Mario Kart World will cost $80, and the physical cartridge will cost $90. And Nintendo being Nintendo, you know those games won't depreciate in value over time. As such, grabbing the bundle will net you a cool $30-40 discount, which is 50% of your next Switch 2 game.
