Costco is offering a special bundle deal for its Switch 2 console, including over $100 in additional perks for its members. The price of the console itself will rise to $499.99 on September 1st, 2026. The bundle, available to Costco members, features a Nintendo Switch 2 console, a 256GB microSD Express card, and a one-year subscription to Nintendo Switch Online’s Expansion Pack tier. The usual annual cost for this subscription is $49.99, but it's included in the Costco bundle.
The Nintendo Switch 2 boasts a generous internal storage capacity of 256GB, which makes the included microSD card an excellent investment. With 10 to 25GB allocated for each first-party Nintendo game and 50GB for larger third-party titles, the card provides ample space to store 5 to 20 additional games. This is particularly useful, as the console's initial price does not include extra storage options.
The Nintendo Switch Online subscription, included in the bundle, offers a range of features. Members can enjoy cloud saving for their games, online play, and access to classic NES, SNES, and Game Boy titles. The Expansion Pack adds to the subscription's value by including classic games from the GameCube, Game Boy Advance, N64, and Virtual Boy eras. Additionally, it provides exclusive features for modern games, such as upgrade packs for popular titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
