If you feel the need to use that blue shell during the holidays, don't hesitate. The Nintendo Switch bundle includes a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a three-month individual membership to Nintendo Switch Online, and a standard Nintendo Switch. The bundle is currently available at Walmart, Target, and Best Buy for just $299.99, which is less than the normal price of $368.

Mario Kart is a game that needs no introduction, but it is the best entry in the series to date thanks to the portable form factor of the Switch, and a much improved battle mode. It is getting new tracks with DLC injections.

There are benefits to a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. An individual membership gives you access to exclusive discounts in the Nintendo eShop and allows you to store your saved games in the cloud. It grants you unlimited access to a growing library of classic titles, including Super Metroid, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Star Fox, just to name a few.

If you pick up Nintendo's discounted bundle this weekend, there are a number of accessories we would recommend for your new handheld, some of which are currently on sale.
