Get ready for a gaming extravaganza as Nintendo Australia pulls out all the stops for MAR10 Day! But this year, it's not just about celebrating the iconic Mario; it's about enticing gamers to embrace the future of handheld gaming with a massive Switch 2 bonus.
For those on the fence about buying the Nintendo Switch 2, the MAR10 Day promotion could be the deciding factor. From 10 March, Nintendo is sweetening the deal by bundling a free 12-month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership with the purchase of the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World Bundle. And this is no ordinary membership...
The Expansion Pack is like a golden ticket to the entire Nintendo universe. For AU$59.95, it unlocks a treasure trove of over 170 classic games from the NES, Super NES, and Game Boy days. But wait, there's more! The real excitement lies in the expanded library for Switch 2 owners.
Switch 2 users gain access to a vast collection of Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, and SEGA Mega Drive titles. But here's where it gets controversial—the membership also includes the Virtual Boy library and the Nintendo GameCube catalogue, which might just be the icing on the cake for die-hard fans.
This offer isn't just about nostalgia, though. It's a practical upgrade for modern gamers, ensuring access to 'Nintendo Switch 2 Editions' of select titles. Plus, it formalizes GameChat, a feature that will become paid from 1 April 2026. This bonus effectively covers that cost for a year, keeping your gaming experience seamless.
To claim this fantastic offer, you'll need to act fast. The promotion is valid for purchases between 10 March and 14 April 2026. Simply register your purchase and upload your tax receipt to the Nintendo Australia website by 15 May 2026, and you'll receive your digital code via SMS shortly after. Remember to disable auto-renewal if you're only in it for the free year.
So, whether you're a Super Mario World veteran or a Switch 2 newbie, MAR10 Day 2026 seems like the perfect time to take the plunge. Will you be joining the celebration? Share your thoughts in the comments below, especially if you think this promotion is a game-changer or if you have any nostalgic memories of these classic gaming platforms!
