Insider revealed details of a new Switch OLED bundle

Recent rumors claim that the revelation of the Switch 2 is imminent. Various sources have assured that Nintendo is preparing to present its new hardware sometime this month; however, the reality is that nothing is confirmed.

A reputable insider spoke on the subject and downplayed the credibility of the reports about the Switch 2 presentation in September. Instead, he revealed that Nintendo is indeed preparing an announcement, but it will be a new bundle of the Switch we all know and not its successor.

New Switch OLED bundle could be revealed soon

According to billbil-kun, one of the most reliable informants in the industry, Nintendo will soon reveal a new Switch OLED package that includes a prominent game from the hybrid console.

According to the details, the bundle will include the white Switch OLED in its standard edition, so it won’t be a special edition console. Interestingly, it will come with a download code for Super Mario Bros. Wonder, one of the most notable exclusives in its game library.

On top of that, the package will also include a code for 3 months of Nintendo Switch Online. The source claims that the bundle will be released in Europe and that the company is also preparing a Switch OLED package for America; however, they couldn’t confirm if it's the same bundle.

As for the release, we know that it will arrive before mid-October. The insider speculates that its reveal could be on September 23, and its possible release on October 3, though nothing is official for now. The package is expected to be sold for €349 EUR (around $387 USD at the current exchange rate).

Although billbil-kun is a very reliable source, it’s worth noting that Nintendo has not confirmed the existence of this new Switch OLED package. As for the Switch 2, the insider is skeptical and doesn’t believe in a reveal this month.

"Some 'industry insiders' are hyping for a Switch successor announcement this month. But hey, here is something that Nintendo will really announce, a new Switch OLED bundle featuring Super Mario Bros. Wonder,” said the informant.
