The download code can be used on one of three possible titles: Mario Kart World(https://www.amazon.com/Mario-KartTM-World-Nintendo-Switch-2/dp/B0F66GQLHH/ref=sr11?tag=gamespot-promos-20), Donkey Kong Bananza(https://www.amazon.com/Donkey-Kong-Bananza-Nintendo-Switch-2/dp/B0F66KLYVH/ref=sr11?tag=gamespot-promos-20), or Pokemon Pokopia(https://www.amazon.com/Pok%C3%A9mon-Pokopia-Nintendo-Switch-2/dp/B0G1VH7HZ1/ref=sr11?tag=gamespot-promos-20). When purchased separately, Mario Kart World(https://www.amazon.com/Mario-KartTM-World-Nintendo-Switch-2/dp/B0F66GQLHH/ref=sr11??tag=gamespot-promos-20) retails for $80, while Donkey Kong Bananza(https://www.amazon.com/Donkey-Kong-Bananza-Nintendo-Switch-2/dp/B0F66KLYVH/ref=sr11?tag=gamespot-promos-20) and Pokemon Pokopia(https://www.amazon.com/Pok%C3%A9mon-Pokopia-Nintendo-Switch-2/dp/B0G1VH7HZ1/ref=sr11?tag=gamespot-promos-20) both retail for $70. At the Switch 2's current $450 price tag, that saves shoppers at least $20-$30 depending on which game you buy. Once the price hike goes into effect, then you're essentially getting one of those full-priced digital games for free. If you've been looking forward to buying it, good news: the bundle is available to preorder now at Best Buy(https://bestbuy.7tiv.net/c/1804712/614286/10014?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fproduct%2Fswitch-2-choose-your-game-bundle-nintendo-switch-2%2FJ7GSL57WQR), GameStop(https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=VZfI20jEa0c&mid=24348&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamestop.com%2Fconsoles-hardware%2Fnintendo-switch-2%2Fproducts%2Fnintendo-switch-2-choose-your-game-bundle%2F20035211.html), and Nintendo(https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/nintendo-switch-2-choose-bundle-128060/). Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle $500 | Launches June 7, 2026 !4697657-128060-nintendo-switch-choose-one-bundle-us-3001×2719(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/4697657-128060-nintendo-switch-choose-one-bundle-us-3001x2719-1.jpg?w=900) As mentioned above, this new bundle includes the Switch 2 console, Switch 2 dock, a set of Joycon 2 controllers, and all the necessary components to hook the device up to your TV. You also get a voucher code that lets you pick one of three digital edition games from the Nintendo eShop: - Mario Kart World (normally $80) - Donkey Kong Bananza (normally $70) - Pokemon Pokopia (normally $70) There is only one voucher per console, and you can only use the voucher once. However, once you've redeemed the game, it's added to your library permanently and you'll be able to download and play whenever you want. You can also share the downloaded game to other Switch 2 devices you own or those on your NSO family plan via the Swtich 2's Virtual Game Card system. Preorder at Best Buy(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbestbuy.7tiv.net%2Fc%2F1804712%2F614286%2F10014%3Fu%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.bestbuy.com%252Fproduct%252Fswitch-2-choose-your-game-bundle-nintendo-switch-2%252FJ7GSL57WQR&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fnews&articleid=1761178&eventtype=click&fntitle=Preorders+For+Nintendo%26%238217%3Bs+New+%26%238216%3BChoose+Your+Game+Bundle%26%238217%3B+Are+Now+Open&fnauthor=brendanhesse&fndate=2026-05-18+14%3A54%3A39&fnupdated=2026-05-18+14%3A54%3A52&fnarticleid=1761178&fncategory=Deals%7CGaming%7CNews&fnstorytype=Preorder+Guide "Preorder at Best Buy") Preorder at GameStop(http://choose-your-game-bundle%2F20035211.html "Preorder at GameStop") Preorder at Nintendo(https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/nintendo-switch-2-choose-bundle-128060/ "Preorder at Nintendo") If you're planning to pick up the bundle but aren't sure which game to use the voucher on, you can check out our reviews for Mario Kart World(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/mario-kart-world-review/1900-6418371/), Donkey Kong Bananza(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/donkey-kong-bananza-review-a-new-start-for-nintendos-first-star/1900-6418382/), and Pokemon Pokopia(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/pokemon-pokopia-review-the-pokemon-anniversary-gift-i-didnt-know-i-wanted/1900-6418465/)--all of which scored 9/10 from our reviewers--to see which might appeal to you most. Note that you'll have to download the full game to your Switch 2 before you can start playing, which can take a while depending on the file size and the strength of your internet connection. Luckily, the Switch 2 ships with 256 GB of internal storage, which is more than enough to download and install any of the games on offer. It can also be expanded using a microSD Express card(https://www.amazon.com/s?k=micro+sd+xpress+switch+2&crid=2Y2YHXLDIDKGK&sprefix=microSD+xpre%2Caps%2C204&linkCode=ll2&tag=gamespot-dealsnewsletter2-20&linkId=b352a4be7b8dd812029d590d2a83ab46&language=enUS&ref=aslisstl). Here's the data footprint of each of the three games you can pick, in case you're curious: - Mario Kart World: 22 GB - Donkey Kong Bananza: 9 GB - Pokemon Pokopia: 6.2 GB If the games in this bundle don't appeal to you and you just want to grab a Switch 2 at the lowest possible price, you can do that at most major retailers for $449. As long as you get your order in before September 1, you'll still get the old price before the increase(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-increased-the-switch-2-price-to-500-and-it-still-isnt-enough/1100-6539893/). While Nintendo may not reduce the cost of its first-party games very often, you still have floods of excellent indies to choose from via the eShop and the many physical edition games available for the system. !4693790-square-image(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/4693790-square-image.jpg?w=300) Nintendo Switch 2 $449 See at Amazon(https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-2-System/dp/B0F3GWXLTS/ref=sr12?tag=gamespot-promos-20 "See at Amazon") View at other stores See at Best Buy(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fbestbuy.7tiv.net%2Fc%2F1804712%2F614286%2F10014%3Fu%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.bestbuy.com%252Fproduct%252Fswitch-2-system-nintendo-switch-2%252FJ7GSL57TGH%252Fsku%252F6614313&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fnews&articleid=1761178&eventtype=click&fntitle=Preorders+For+Nintendo%26%238217%3Bs+New+%26%238216%3BChoose+Your+Game+Bundle%26%238217%3B+Are+Now+Open&fnauthor=brendanhesse&fndate=2026-05-18+14%3A54%3A39&fnupdated=2026-05-18+14%3A54%3A52&fnarticleid=1761178&fncategory=Deals%7CGaming%7CNews&fnstorytype=Preorder+Guide "See at Best Buy") See at Walmart(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgoto.walmart.com%2Fc%2F1804712%2F565706%2F9383%3Fveh%3Daff%26sourceid%3Dimp000011112222333344%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.walmart.com%252Fip%252FNintendo-Switch-2-System%252F15949610846%253FclassType%253DVARIANT%2526athbdg%253DL1200%2526from%253D%252Fsearch&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fnews&articleid=1761178&eventtype=click&fntitle=Preorders+For+Nintendo%26%238217%3Bs+New+%26%238216%3BChoose+Your+Game+Bundle%26%238217%3B+Are+Now+Open&fnauthor=brendanhesse&fndate=2026-05-18+14%3A54%3A39&fnupdated=2026-05-18+14%3A54%3A52&fnarticleid=1761178&fncategory=Deals%7CGaming%7CNews&fnstorytype=Preorder+Guide "See at Walmart") See at Target(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fgoto.target.com%2Fc%2F1804712%2F81938%2F2092%3FsubId1%3D--%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.target.com%252Fp%252Fnintendo-switch-2-console%252F-%252FA-94693225&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fnews&articleid=1761178&eventtype=click&fntitle=Preorders+For+Nintendo%26%238217%3Bs+New+%26%238216%3BChoose+Your+Game+Bundle%26%238217%3B+Are+Now+Open&fnauthor=brendanhesse&fndate=2026-05-18+14%3A54%3A39&fnupdated=2026-05-18+14%3A54%3A52&fnarticleid=1761178&fncategory=Deals%7CGaming%7CNews&fnstorytype=Preorder+Guide "See at Target") See at GameStop(https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom32094gamespot?q=https%3A%2F%2Fclick.linksynergy.com%2Fdeeplink%3Fid%3DVZfI20jEa0c%26mid%3D24348%26murl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.gamestop.com%252Fconsoles-hardware%252Fnintendo-switch-2%252Fproducts%252Fnintendo-switch-2%252F424543.html&p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fnews&articleid=1761178&eventtype=click&fntitle=Preorders+For+Nintendo%26%238217%3Bs+New+%26%238216%3BChoose+Your+Game+Bundle%26%238217%3B+Are+Now+Open&fnauthor=brendanhesse&fndate=2026-05-18+14%3A54%3A39&fnupdated=2026-05-18+14%3A54%3A52&fnarticleid=1761178&fncategory=Deals%7CGaming%7CNews&fnstorytype=Preorder+Guide "See at GameStop") More Gaming, Tech, and Entertainment Deals & Preorders
🎮 Multi-platformWelcome to the new GameSpot
Hey GameSpot community, We've got some big news to share: GameSpot is migrating to a new platform. After 13 years on our old platform – a custom built CMS that served us well across different owners and different eras of web publishing – we're moving to WordPress VIP, a best-in-class solution that will allow us to shift our energy from maintaining a website to innovating on one. What this means for you First, there’s obviously a new look and feel. You may recognize this branding work from our videos and social channels, but it hasn’t made its way to the site until now. Page layouts have been modernized, the actual text is easier to read, and everything from images to ads will load faster. This is a top-to-bottom overhaul of the site that will serve as a foundation for the coming years and decades of GameSpot, so we can continue serving as your trusted guide to all things video games, from the games themselves to the culture around them. What's coming with you Your GameSpot account will move over to the new site, same email, same password. There’s no re-registration, no password reset emails, it just works. What isn’t coming yet are the old site’s user-generated components. We took a long look at how you all used the site over the years and, due to lack of attention and increased competition, it’s clear that these tools didn’t meet your needs anymore. To be clear, we think there’s even more room for innovation here, and this migration is intended to help us capture it, and that starts with deciding where we can and can’t win. And one last thing here: while comments aren’t enabled at launch, we will be migrating those over in the near future once we catch our breath. What's next We're rolling this out gradually rather than flipping a switch overnight. For a window of time, traffic will be split between the new site and the old one — some readers will land on the new experience, while others will stay on the current site while we monitor things and iron out any wrinkles. If you get the new site, but want to go back and peruse any of your contributions on the old site, those addresses will continue to direct to the old site during this window. That’s gamespot.com/login/(http://gamespot.com/login/), gamespot.com/forums/(http://gamespot.com/forums/), gamespot.com/pm/inbox/(https://www.gamespot.com/pm/inbox/) (private messages), and gamespot.com/profiles/(http://gamespot.com/profiles/). We'll update this post with a cutoff date for when we'll sunset those pages. Feedback If you hit a bug or something feels off on the new site, please let us know! You can reach us here(https://gamespothelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new). But this migration isn't just a backend project — it's a chance to rethink what GameSpot should be in 2026 and beyond. So we're asking: What do you want from GameSpot?

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformSony’s Single-Player Story Games Are Reportedly Becoming PlayStation Exclusives Again
For the past few years, major first-party exclusives for both the Xbox and PlayStation consoles have been expected to arrive on PC after a certain period of time--if not same-day. However, with brands now looking to differentiate themselves in the current hardware market, the winds seem to be shifting. Reporting from various sources(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-may-be-drastically-shifting-its-pc-strategy-report/1100-6538460/) in the last few months has indicated that Sony intends to step away from bringing some of their high-profile exclusives to PC. This approach has now apparently been confirmed by Head of PlayStation Studios Hermen Hulst himself. According to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier--who previously broke some initial reporting about the change in strategy(https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-04/sony-pulls-back-from-playstation-games-on-pc?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc3OTEyOTk3MiwiZXhwIjoxNzc5NzM0NzcyLCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJUQkRNVTVLR1pBS0owMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJCMUVBQkI5NjQ2QUM0REZFQTJBRkI4MjI1MzgyQTJFQSJ9.XEWYXBDXXg13JxGEFC1iwV140zKDSlLoblfeJluqb8)--Hulst revealed in a staff meeting today(https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-04/sony-pulls-back-from-playstation-games-on-pc?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc3OTEyOTk3MiwiZXhwIjoxNzc5NzM0NzcyLCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJUQkRNVTVLR1pBS0owMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJCMUVBQkI5NjQ2QUM0REZFQTJBRkI4MjI1MzgyQTJFQSJ9.XEWYXBDXXg13JxGEFC1iwV140zKDSlLoblfeJluqb8) that "the company's narrative single-player games will now be PlayStation exclusive." This means that the likes of Saros(https://www.gamespot.com/games/saros/), Ghost of Yotei(https://www.gamespot.com/games/ghost-of-yotei/), and the upcoming Wolverine(https://www.gamespot.com/games/marvels-wolverine/) are unlikely to come to PC in the near future, though multiplayer-centric titles like the megahit Helldivers II(https://www.gamespot.com/games/helldivers-2/) and the recent Marathon(https://www.gamespot.com/games/marathon/) are still likely to see cross-platform play. While this is a disappointment to PC gamers, the business logic behind it is sound. With the overall gaming hardware market becoming more cutthroat--and more expensive(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps5-price-increase-confirmed-by-sony-amid-market-pressures/1100-6539060/)--it makes sense for Sony to attempt to differentiate themselves from the competition through the tried-and-true method of big-budget, critically acclaimed exclusives. We'll have to wait and see if the strategy pays off in console and game sales.

🎮 Multi-platformTom Kane, Longtime Star Wars And Call Of Duty Voice Actor, Dies At 64
Tom Kane, a staple in various children's animated shows and numerous video game franchises, has died at the age of 64. Representatives for Kane confirmed the news of his passing to TMZ(https://www.tmz.com/2026/05/18/tom-kane-dead/), citing complications from a stroke the voice actor suffered in 2020. Kane lent his voice to the universes of Marvel, Star Wars, Powerpuff Girls, and Call of Duty. His most prolific role was the voice of Yoda in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and various Star Wars shows and games, most recently Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. He also voiced established characters like C-3PO, Boba Fett, and Admiral Ackbar in other Star Wars media. In the wider realm of video games, Kane was the original voice of Call of Duty Zombies mainstay Takeo Masaki, performing as the character from World at War to Black Ops 4. His game credits are almost innumerable, with highlights including voicing both Jim Gordon and Quincy Sharp in Batman: Arkham Asylum, Lok in Fortnite: Save the World, and Magneto in several Marvel games, including Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. Cartoon enthusiasts should also recognize him as the voice behind Professor Utonium, the creator of The Powerpuff Girls. Other iconic animated roles for Kane include Darwin the chimpanzee in The Wild Thornberries and the rabbit butler Mr. Herriman in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Kane's voice acting credits alone speak to his versatility and ability to embody the role of characters, even ones that viewers and players are already familiar with. His stroke in 2020 resulted in damage to the speech center of his brain, according to an old Facebook post(https://www.facebook.com/Tom.Kane.VO.Guy/posts/10159336102355815) by his daughter, Sam. Kane is survived by his wife and nine children. "His voice became part of our lives, our memories, and the stories we carry with us," reads a Facebook post from Galactic Productions(https://www.facebook.com/GalacticProds/posts/1539468064853395?ref=embedpost), an agency that represented Kane. "Though his voice may now be silent, the characters, stories, and love he gave to the world will live on forever."
