Kids can challenge their friends to the zaniest racing experience video games have to offer thanks to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! Nintendo’s new bundle includes a digital download for the game, a Nintendo Switch system with blue and red Joy-Con controllers, and a three-month individual membership to Nintendo Switch Online. The online service will let kids get straight to gaming with their best buds even when they’re not in the same place. The new bundle will launch this Oct. 6.

If a little gamer wants even more tracks to race, they can pick up the Booster Course Pass DLC and get 48 additional courses to race on that will be released in six waves throughout the rest of the year. The DLC is available now in the Nintendo eShop, My Nintendo Store, and at select retailers.

The Nintendo Switch Lite system is perfect for kids who don’t mind playing their games exclusively handheld, perfect for long car rides and gaming on the go. Nintendo is releasing two new bundles for the Lite featuring everyone’s favorite island animals. The Nintendo Switch Lite Isabelle’s Aloha Edition and Nintendo Switch Lite Timmy & Tommy’s Aloha Edition both include a digital version of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and feature Switch Lites with leaf designs. The Isabelle’s Aloha Edition will be available exclusively at Target and the Timmy & Tommy’s Aloha Edition at Walmart, both releasing Oct. 6.

Give the little gamer in your life the happiest holiday season yet with these new deals releasing Oct. 6. With digital versions of favorite games bundled in, the full Nintendo Switch experience is just a bundle away!
