Two games and a console. Not bad.

It's year two of the Nintendo Switch and we're starting to see some more bundles coming out for Nintendo's hybrid console. The most recent is a Walmart exclusive Mario Tennis Aces bundle which offers the system, a digital copy of Mario Tennis Aces, and a digital copy of 1-2-Switch for $360.

Here's the math. A Switch on its own costs $299.99, and a copy of Mario Tennis Aces is $59.99 full price. So, the added value of the bundle comes from the free copy of 1-2-Switch which retails for $39.99 but can probably be purchased used for less.

Still, that's a savings of about $40, plus you get one really good Switch game (Mario Tennis) and a fun Switch distraction (1-2-Switch). That's a pretty good deal I'd say.

The Mario Tennis Aces bundle is exclusive to Walmart and will go on sale on September 5. So far, it's the only holiday Switch bundle we've seen, but it's only August so it's not even really peak holiday shopping time.
