For years, the only holiday bundle Nintendo had offered was the Nintendo Switch + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle. It’s actually available again for the fifth straight year, but now it’s joined by another bundle.

Available on November 19, which is when Nintendo will kick off its holiday offerings, the Nintendo Switch – OLED Model – Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Bundle will offer gamers a new option. Priced at $349.99, this bundle will include:

  • A Nintendo Switch – OLED Model system and two Joy-Con controllers featuring a design inspired by the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game
  • A download code for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
  • A 3-month Nintendo Switch Online Individual membership

It’s everything you need to jump in and start playing one of the most popular platform fighters of all time. Its price is the same as the standalone Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, so you’re technically getting Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and a 3-month Nintendo Switch Online membership for free (around $67.98 in savings). Not a bad deal if you’ve yet to get a Nintendo Switch.

The Nintendo Switch – OLED Model is an upgraded version of the original console, featuring a 7-inch OLE screen, a wide adjustable stand, a wired LAN port, 64GB of internal storage and enhanced audio. The stand allows for three types of gaming: TV mode, tabletop mode and handheld mode.

With rumors that Nintendo is working on an even more powerful Nintendo Switch, this bundle may serve as Nintendo’s last holiday push for the current console as we know it. Because of that, you may want to consider just holding off to see what the future holds for Nintendo. But if you’re eager to jump in and start playing all the great games the current Switch has to offer, this is a pretty solid bundle.

Nintendo will offer additional holiday bundles as well this year, including the tried-and-true Nintendo Switch – Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle ($299.99) and two new Nintendo Switch Lite – Animal Crossing: New Horizons systems ($199.99).
