There won't be any discounts associated with buying <em> MK8 Deluxe </em> at the same time as the NintendoÂ Switch, but you won't have to pay at least <a href=http://www.gamestop.com/nintendo-switch/consoles/nintendo-switch-neon-mario-kart-8-deluxe-bundle-ships-by-05-05-17/146488 rel=noreferrer target=_blank> $500 </a> to get in on the racing action.Â <h3>NintendoÂ Switch stock: Be prepared for limited supplyÂ </h3><p>Since this is a restock of a NintendoÂ console, don't expect Target and Best Buy to be sitting on giant surpluses of Switch consoles.Â <p>As Target notes in its flier, the Switch will be sold on Friday "while supplies last" â which means if you're not one of the first to arrive that morning, you better pray to the Nintendo gods there's stock left when you get there.Â <p>In advance of the Friday sale, make sure you consult <a href=http://www.bestbuy.com/site/store-locator/ rel=noreferrer target=_blank> Best Buy </a> Â and <a href=http://www.target.com/store-locator/find-stores rel=noreferrer target=_blank> Target's </a> store locators. Call nearby stores to make sure they're participating in the NintendoÂ Switch sale and check quantities of <em> Mario Kart 8 Deluxe </em> while you're at it. Expect to get to the store a couple of hours or so before it opens.Â <p>The most important thing you can do when you're pre-ordering <em> Mario Kart 8 Deluxe </em> and getting your Switch? Make sure your purchase comes with a <a href=http://nintendotoday.com/switch-rubiks-cube/ rel=noreferrer target=_blank> free </a> <em> <a href=http://nintendotoday.com/switch-rubiks-cube/ rel=noreferrer target=_blank> Mario Kart </a> </em> <a href=http://nintendotoday.com/switch-rubiks-cube/ rel=noreferrer target=_blank> Rubik's Cube </a> , like it does at Target.
