Buy a Nintendo console at a reduced price before Christmas? This still seemed improbable a few days ago. However, the brand new Nintendo Switch 2launched on June 5, 2025, already benefits from reductions at two major distributors: Fnac and Leclerc. The two brands are now offering three different configurations on sale, with discounts of up to 20 to 50 € depending on the pack.
These offers concern both the bare console and bundles including a recent game, such as Mario Kart World Or Pokémon Legends – ZA. And unlike classic end-of-year promotions, this is about immediate discountsvalid online and in store.
Three offers available: what exactly do the Switch 2 packs contain?
Nintendo currently markets the Switch 2 in three main versions: without game, with Mario Kart World, or with Pokémon Legends – ZA. Here are the prices charged on October 16, 2025:
- Console only:
- €419 at Leclerc
- €429.99 at Fnac
- Console + Mario Kart World:
- €469 at Leclerc
- €459.99 at Fnac
- Console + Pokémon Legends – ZA :

These packs include all the standard accessories of the new generation of Nintendo consoles:

The game, depending on the pack chosen, is pre-installed or available as a download code. No additional content is to be expected on the connectivity or storage side.
A Switch 2 redesigned for performance and versatility
The Switch 2 is not just a simple evolution of the previous generation. Nintendo has completely redesigned its hybrid system to meet the expectations of gamers in 2025, both in portable mode and on television.

- Active ventilation : the dock now includes a fan to maintain stable performance during extended sessions.
Memory and storage

Next generation Joy-Con
THE Joy-Con 2 benefit from several notable improvements:
- Magnetic pairingmore stable than Bluetooth.
- “Mouse” functionto navigate or aim in certain compatible games.
- New “C” buttonintegrated into the right Joy-Con, dedicated to social or community shortcuts.
Should you give in now, or wait until Black Friday?
These offers pose a real question to potential buyers: buy now, or wait until Black Friday scheduled for the end of November? Several elements argue in favor of an early purchase:
- The Switch 2 is very recent (released in June), and these drops are therefore exceptional at this stage.
- THE stocks can melt quickly as the holidays approach, especially for packs with Mario Kart or Pokémon.
- There is no guarantee that prices will be more attractive in November, especially among already aggressive brands like Leclerc.
For those who were planning to buy it before Christmas, these discounts represent a rare opportunity to equip yourself at a lower cost.
