Nintendo just gave Black Friday shoppers the best deal yet on its recently launched Super Mario Galaxy double pack. The $69.99 bundle is down to $55.20 through Woot's mobile app, marking the first significant discount since the Switch collection launched in October with free Switch 2 upgrade compatibility.
Nintendo launched its $69.99 Super Mario Galaxy double pack for the Switch back in October, complete with a free Switch 2 update that's been turning heads among gaming enthusiasts. Now Woot is offering the cartridge containing both games for just $55.20 - the lowest price we've seen since launch. There's one catch: you need to checkout using Woot's mobile app on Android or iOS to see the discount. Once you install the app, the retailer links will take you straight to the product page where the 20% savings kick in at checkout. That definitely beats paying $40 per game if you were buying them digitally through Nintendo's eShop. Whether you're gaming on an original Switch or the newly released Switch 2, these enhanced ports deliver significantly improved visuals over their Wii predecessors. The games feature boosted resolution, cleaner user interfaces, and additional content that wasn't available in the original 2007 and 2010 releases. The visual upgrade is particularly striking - these Wii-era classics have never looked better, running far beyond the sub-HD limitations of Nintendo's previous console. Performance analysis from Digital Foundry suggests the games hit a full 3,840 x 2,160 resolution on the Switch 2, though without anti-aliasing. That's a massive leap from the original 480p Wii versions, making Mario's gravity-defying adventures feel genuinely modern. The Verge's review noted that while these are fairly straightforward ports, they serve their purpose well. The enhanced versions set up both newcomers and returning players perfectly for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy movie hitting theaters next year. For context, Nintendo's been aggressive about maintaining premium pricing on its first-party titles, so any discount on recent releases is noteworthy. The company's October launch timing for this collection was strategic, arriving just ahead of the Switch 2's debut to ensure compatibility across both platforms. The mobile app requirement for this Woot deal is unusual but not unprecedented during major shopping events. Amazon-owned Woot often uses app-exclusive promotions to drive mobile engagement, especially during Black Friday when competition for attention is fierce. The $55.20 price point represents genuine value for anyone who missed these games during their original Wii era or wants to experience them with modern enhancements.
