Nintendo has released a five-minute overview trailer for Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, its interactive exhibit that introduces the features and hardware of Switch 2.
I think we may be thinking of different concepts. I was thinking this conversation was more about having a game that’s free with all console purchases, such as Astro’s Playroom for the PS5 and Wii Sports for the majority of the Wii’s life, which is a bit different from a console/game bundle.
That page may need updating too, because Nintendo still does game bundles. They did several for the Switch, like this Smash Bros edition one a friend of mine got which came with the game, or the Mario Kart bundle they’re making available at launch for the Switch 2. But these are basically limited run specials, and usually you’re still paying some certain amount extra for the game versus a standalone console purchase.
Even the basic, original release package of the consoles came with something. NES had Mario Bros. SNES had Super Mario World. N64 had Mario 64. GameCube had Mario Sunshine, and later on Animal Crossing.
