New Official Switch 2 Console Bundle Confirmed for July 2 - MCE Notices | California State Portal

Starting on July 2, certain regions will have access to a new Nintendo Switch 2 bundle that includes a copy of Pokemon Pokopia. This Nintendo Switch 2 bundle was previously only available in Australia and New Zealand, but the number of regions where this bundle will be available is expanding. For Nintendo fans who haven’t yet upgraded to a Switch 2, this bundle could be a great opportunity to do so.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has a lot going for it in 2026, between highly-rated releases like Pokemon Pokopia and exciting upcoming titles like Star Fox, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake launching later this year. Switch 2 players also have access to new hardware, like new Joy-Con controllers inspired by Splatoon 3‘s Deep Cut. Now, Nintendo fans have a better reason than ever to pick up a Switch 2 ahead of these exciting releases.

Currently, there is no word on whether North America will see this Switch 2 bundle, but North American Nintendo fans can still pick up the Nintendo Switch 2: You Choose bundle instead. This Switch 2 bundle offers players the console plus their choice of either Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokemon Pokopia. Selecting a digital copy of Pokemon Pokopia with this bundle is effectively the same as the bundle offered to European, Australian, and New Zealand fans, since the console itself doesn’t differ from the base model.

For Pokemon fans, this bundle includes a box with a Pokemon Pokopia-themed design, along with a digital copy of the game. Pokopia is already the highest-rated Pokemon game of all time, allowing players to rebuild a post-apocalyptic version of the Kanto Region in order to attract Pokemon back to their natural habitats. The combination of Minecraft, Animal Crossing, and Pokemon has propelled Pokopia to rank among the best Pokemon spin-offs of all time. With Pokemon Winds and Waves slated for a 2027 release, Pokopia is the premier Pokemon experience of 2026 that shouldn’t be slept on.

Now is also the best time to dive into the game since Nintendo recently announced a DLC expansion pass for Pokopia at the June 2026 Nintendo Direct. The first part of this Pokopia expansion pass, Bubbly Basin, is set to bring players under the sea as they meet new Pokemon and discover new furniture and clothes for Ditto to wear, and launches this August. The second and third packs of the Pokopia expansion pass are planned to be released in late 2026 and 2027, respectively.

This Nintendo Switch 2 bundle only includes the base game for Pokopia, the expansion pass is sold separately.
