Nintendo confirmed that this fiscal year will see the announcement of the Nintendo Switchs successor – often referred to as the “Nintendo Switch 2” in the gaming community – and the latest rumors suggest that such a reveal is imminent and will happen at some point in September 2024. However, new rumors from a reliable leaker suggest a different, albeit more underwhelming, console could be released instead .
According to Dialabs‘ Bilbil-kunA new Switch OLED package with Super Mario Bros. Wonder will be released instead. If this is Nintendo’s next announcement, it will understandably be disappointing for those who want to learn more about the next console after so many years of rumors, especially since there is nothing new in the package.
It should be noted that Bilbil-kun is often extremely accurate in their leaks and reports, and currently maintains a very good track record with announcing the PlayStation Plus Subscription’s last monthly games in advance, meaning that this Nintendo Switch bundle claim is extremely likely.
What’s Included in the Rumored Switch OLED Bundle?
There is nothing really new on offer
For those who already have a Nintendo Switch OLED and Super Mario Bros. WonderThere’s nothing really to get excited about here. The reported package will contain the base model of the Nintendo Switch OLED in white, rather than any new dedicated design as seen recently Tears of the kingdomAs well as a digital download code for SSuper Mario Bros. Wonderand a 3-month Nintendo Switch Online membership, which can be used for online multiplayer and access to select titles from past consoles that have been ported to the Switch.

According to the Dealabs article, this bundle will be sold in the European region for €349 with a potential release date of September 23 or October 3, 2024. North America will also get a new Switch OLED bundle at some point, though it’s unclear if that is the same.
Therefore, for those in Europe who have yet to buy a Nintendo Switch Or want to upgrade to an OLED and don’t own the acclaimed Super Mario Bros. WonderIt’s a relatively good deal. However, with the Nintendo Switch 2 – or whatever its name will ultimately be – due to release sometime in the near future, and reportedly being backwards compatible with the current generation of games, hopefully Nintendo will reveal some concrete details soon so players can Decide whether to wait a little longer for it instead.
