If you’re still on the hunt for a Switch 2 console, here’s an opportunity you might want to consider. Not only does AliExpress have the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Tour Console Bundle available for shipping, the price is actually discounted. Yes, you heard that right. The seller prices the console bundle at a moderate markup of $532.24, but a $60 off coupon code “IFPTRMX” drops it to $472.24 with free shipping. Is this Switch 2 deal too good to be true? It’s quite possible. The last time I checked, coupons were not intended to work on this listing.
Update: The $70 off code has been deactivated. Instead, use $60 off code “IFPTRMX”.
This is likely a genuine gaming console that has been imported from another country (usually Japan, Hong Kong, Canada, or Mexico). Region locking is determined by your account, not by console, so all of these systems will play in the US without any problems. You’ll also be able to select English as your default language just like any console you buy here. AliExpress offers a return window but the length varies depending on the item. These consoles all ship locally from the United States and usually arrive within one week.

Can I trust this AliExpress listing?
That is a good question. AliExpress is an overseas online marketplace, and just like any marketplace, you just can’t expect each and every seller to be legit. This particular seller, Lucky Tech Store, has been in existence since October 2024, and sells PlayStation and Nintendo Switch consoles as well as other electronics. Another Nintendo Switch listing from the same seller has reviews confirming they’ve received a legit console, albeit an international version. I expect the same in this case, but I’ve personally never ordered from this seller. AliExpress offers several guarantees, including a token discount if the package is delayed, and a complete refund if the package is lost, damaged, or not delivered within 20 days after you place an order.
The Nintendo Switch 2 was released on June 5 and is currently sold out everywhere. We expect more units to trickle out from participating retailers throughout the year, but that won’t necessarily make it easy to get one. If you’re looking for our official review of the new console, it’s still in progress. The biggest Switch 2 video game release is Mario Kart World Tour. It retails for $79.99, but buying it as part of the launch bundle means you’ll effectively pay just $50. Logan Plant recently reviewed the game and wrote that “Mario Kart World may not make the most convincing case that going open-world was the boost the series needed, but excellent multiplayer racing, incredible polish, and the thrilling new Knockout Tour mode still more than live up to its legacy.”
