Nintendo Switch 2 Gets Major Price Drop in South Africa

Nintendo South Africa surprised newsletter subscribers by announcing a R1 000 price cut on the Nintendo Switch 2, and it turns out the deal is not limited to Nintendo itself. A quick look across local retailers shows that several stores have already matched or even beaten the official discount. The savings also extend beyond the base console to the bundle that includes a download code for Mario Kart World, which makes the timing especially appealing for buyers who want everything in one box. Based on current pricing, Amazon South Africa is offering the cheapest deal on the base console at R10 999, well below the original recommended price of R12 499. For shoppers interested in the Mario Kart bundle, Takealot comes out on top with a price of R12 299 compared to the original R13 499. Other retailers like Nintendo South Africa, Nexus, and Game 4U are also participating, though at slightly higher prices. Buyers who jump in now are encouraged to revisit early coverage of the console and adjust recommended settings straight out of the box to get the best experience from day one.
