AliExpress is running a last big push to round off the year with a special promotion called “Christmas Magic”. Up to Sunday 14 December in the evening, the retailer is advertising sizeable discounts on premium products. One of the standout bundles is the Nintendo Switch 2 paired with Mario Kart World, reduced to €420 instead of €509 when you use the code FRCS60 or CSFR60.
AliExpress “Christmas Magic” deal: €420 Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World
If you were planning to buy the console as a Christmas present - or simply treat yourself - this offer cuts the price substantially. The headline saving hinges on the promo code, so it’s essential to apply FRCS60 or CSFR60 at checkout to reach the €420 price.
While the “Christmas Magic” event is scheduled to run until the end of the week, the most attractive deals rarely last that long because stock runs out. This Nintendo Switch 2 bundle is likely to be one of the first to vanish.
Stock, timing and the “Best price guarantee”
Right now, the Switch 2 bundle is shown at roughly a hundred units available. That points to imminent sell-out, and it would be surprising if it remained available through the end of the day.
The retailer is also putting forward a “Best price guarantee” alongside the discount, reinforcing the idea that you’re unlikely to find a better price elsewhere - especially before the year ends.
Alongside the discount itself, AliExpress states it will ship the Nintendo Switch 2 directly from France, with free, fast delivery. The console includes the official manufacturer’s warranty (2 years) and you also get a 90-day returns window. If you need to, you can send the bundle back at no cost and receive a full refund afterwards. For budgeting during the pre-Christmas spending period, you can also pay in 4 interest-free instalments with PayPal.
The Switch 2, a strong evolution of Nintendo’s console
Available since 2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 is Nintendo’s latest hybrid handheld console. It replaces the original Switch while keeping the formula that made the first model so popular, and adding meaningful upgrades.
You still get the three familiar play styles that defined the range:
- Handheld
- Tabletop
- TV (living room) play
The modular feel remains, but the hardware is larger overall, with a noticeably bigger display. Nintendo uses a 7.9-inch LCD panel with a 1920 × 1080 pixel (Full HD) resolution. It supports HDR10 and a variable refresh rate up to 120 Hz.
Screen, docked output and performance highlights
When docked, video output over HDMI can reach 4K at 60 fps, delivering a higher-end experience on a compatible television.
On the hardware side, the Switch 2 is built around a custom NVIDIA T239 processor based on the Ampere architecture. This is positioned as a clear step up from the original Switch’s Tegra X1, with notably stronger graphics and compute performance, plus shorter loading times. Typical clock speeds are cited as 998 MHz in docked mode and around 1101 MHz in handheld mode, with a theoretical peak of 1.7 GHz.
Memory also takes a major leap: the Nintendo Switch 2 includes 12 GB of RAM, with 9 GB available to games and 3 GB reserved for the system. That’s a substantial improvement compared with the 4 GB on the previous version. Memory bandwidth is stated as up to 102 GB/s when docked, versus 68 GB/s in handheld mode, supporting smooth performance and better resource handling in demanding titles.
Storage is set at 256 GB, and it can be expanded via microSD Express cards up to 2 TB.
For long-time Nintendo players, one of the most reassuring points is backwards compatibility: all original Nintendo Switch games can be played on the new console, and the Nintendo Switch Online subscription is supported too. On top of that, the game library includes releases designed to make the most of the new hardware as well as updated classics, giving you plenty of scope to revisit favourite series such as The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, and more.
On connectivity and day-to-day features, the Switch 2 keeps practical essentials: stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, modern wireless options (Wi‑Fi 6 and Bluetooth), plus internal sensors. The two Joy-Con controllers are still included, making it easy to play with friends or in TV mode. Overall, the specifications explain why this version is proving so popular - and at this price, it’s an offer worth moving on quickly.
