Ring In 2025 With Woot’s Can’t-Miss Switch OLED and Mario Kart 8 Bundle Offer

The New Year is upon us, and what better way to ring in 2025 than upgrading to a new Nintendo Switch OLED console? While it's usually near-impossible to find any sort of price cut from Nintendo directly, Woot has launched a sale that sees the console/handheld hybrid drop to $330. This is a $20 discount and better yet, throws in a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as well as a 12-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. This is the equivalent of $79 in free add-ons. So couple that with the 6% price cut and that's nearly $100 in savings.

Available in a sleek white design, the Switch OLED features a larger 7-inch OLED display that enhances any game played on the move. The new and improved model also doubles the standard storage from 32GB to 64GB as well as improving the adjustable kickstand and adding an ethernet port to the dock. A lot of the differences are indistinguishable from the 2017 launch console but if you're not fussed about the rumored Switch 2, then this is a great way to access some of the best games of the last decade.

Why these deals matter

Anyone who is a fan of Nintendo will be well aware that the Japanese games maker rarely offers any discounts on either its hardware or games. Nintendo believes that a game played on launch is just as good as when played five years down the line. It's an admirable stance for the quality of their experiences, however, doesn't help any of our wallets. That's why sales like this one from Woot cannot be underestimated. We'd particularly recommend Metroid Dread with an $18 discount, Bayonetta 3 that is 50% off as well as Sonic X Shadow Generations, which only just released in November.
