During its May 2019 Direct, Nintendo announced several bundle deals for pre-ordering Super Mario Maker 2. One, a brand-new game voucher-based deal, was announced as a promotion for pre-ordering Super Mario Maker 2, but it can be used to buy any Switch game.

Ultimate World Championship 2019 3v3, and the Splatoon 2 World Championship 2019. All three will be held on June 8.
