Every now and then a game comes along that is so fun, so different — and so innovative — that it immediately becomes the hot ticket holiday item. From Wii Sports and Grand Theft Auto to Call of Duty and Minecraft, there is always a latest and greatest game that becomes a must-have holiday gift. This year is no different. One of the most difficult games to get your hands on is the Switch Mario Kart Bundle.
The Switch Mario Kart Bundle is unique in that it is so much more than a game played on a flat screen. The game experience comes alive and combines the thrill of on-screen gaming with actual physical kart playing. The game includes one kart with either a Mario or Luigi character, four gates, two arrow signboards that can be used to rearrange courses, and a USB charging cable. All you have to do is download the game from the Nintendo eShop and it will sync to your physical Mario Kart hardware so it can be played in your actual home.
For younger players, the game offers a steering option and there are a number of modes in which the game can be played that include Grand Prix mode, Custom Race, Time Trials, and Mirror Mode, its most challenging mode.
The problem is: it has proven extremely difficult to find a copy of the Switch Mario Kart Bundle.
The best way to score the Switch Mario Kart Bundle is to check each of the following sites daily (or even several times a day): Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, and Target. If these outlets do not have the game in stock, it’s likely they will be receiving more copies before the holiday. But they go fast — so if you find one, add it to your cart and snag it before it’s too late.
