Payday special offers on Switch and 2DS consoles from Nintendo's UK store

Update: Even more offers today.

Update 24/04/2018: Adding to the offers that went live yesterday, the official Nintendo UK store is now offering up some pre-order bundles on upcoming Switch games.

Specifically, you can get yourself a copy of Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze on Switch alongside a free Donkey Kong tall mug thrown in, a copy of Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition - which will cost you £34.99 - or even the Collector's Edition of that Harvest Moon title, which comes with a tote bag, mug, pins and other trinkets, all housed in a barn collector's box. That version will run you £64.99.

While you're there, it's worth noting that this is currently the last chance to pre-order copies of Nintendo Labo in order to get it in time for this Friday's release. Nintendo UK Store pre-orders of Labo come with bonus pencils and pencil cases and the prices are the same as they currently are over at Amazon.

Original Story: This week, Nintendo's official UK store is celebrating the end of the month with a set of Payday Special Offers, mostly involving some Nintendo Switch bundles, a handful of Nintendo 2DS offers and a set of freebies thrown in for good measure. If any of that sounds like your kind of thing, read on, for there is more to talk about.

Firstly, as the banner image just above might have given away, you can get yourself a free Mario, Luigi or Pikachu T-shirt when you pick up a New Nintendo 2DS XL console, all of which will cost you £134.99 (essentially making the shirt £5).

After that, you can take a look at a pair of Nintendo Switch console bundles. For £299.99, you can pick up a Switch Neon console and a copy of Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Alternatively, £10 extra will replace Kingdom Battle with copies of Snipperclips and Overcooked in their boxed forms.

If you have the occasion to buy a Nintendo 2DS console (the non XL form), you'll be able to grab yourself one of two Mario-themed cat plushies - either Mario himself or Rosalina in cat form - for free with your bundled console.

Last but not least, the store's 'Game and Gift' promotion has been extended, allowing you to pick up a variety of 3DS titles and get some nice free Nintendo merch thrown in for good measure.

If all of that wasn't enough, you can check out the rest of today's best deals over at Jelly Deals, which today includes Marvel vs Capcom Infinite for under £14, Overwatch GOTY for £18, and more.
