Nintendo's clearly playing the long game by keeping Switch 2 at full price while using these classic titles as the holiday hook. Smart move making the must-have accessories more affordable though—they know we'll need that extra storage eventually.
It's cool to see Nintendo mixing up their holiday strategy, though I'm a little bummed they're not offering any Switch 2 bundles this time. Still, grabbing some of those first-party bangers for $30 is a pretty sweet deal for anyone looking to fill out their library.
