Exciting News: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Steelbook Dual Pack Returns to Stock
Just in time for the launch of the highly anticipated Switch 2, the exclusive steelbook edition dual pack of Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet is now back in stock at the official Nintendo store for $130. This physical edition offers fans a stylish way to enjoy both games together, now more accessible than ever.
What Makes This Steelbook Edition Special?
This collector’s package features a stunning gold-themed steelbook case decorated with artwork of the Legendary Pokémon Koraidon and Miraidon. The case includes dual cartridge slots, allowing you to store both games securely in one sleek package. It’s perfect for avid collectors and Pokémon fans looking to enhance their gaming experience with a premium display piece.
Bonus Items and Additional Steelbook Collectibles
For those who prefer the classic colored cover art, the Nintendo store listing also offers individual steelbooks for Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet as bonus items. These add a nice touch for collectors who want a variety of packaging options. Keep in mind, this dual pack has been sold out at most retailers for months, and resellers on secondary markets are asking at least 25% more, making this the best opportunity to purchase both games along with a collection of beautiful steelbooks at a fair price.
Perfect for Nintendo Switch 2 Owners
This bundle is especially ideal for new Nintendo Switch 2 owners. Thanks to the console’s significant hardware upgrades, both Pokémon titles now run in stunning 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, providing a much smoother and visually impressive experience. Our recent performance comparison video highlights how these games finally perform as they should on the latest hardware, two and a half years after their initial release.
Looking Ahead: Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Upgraded Experience
The improved performance on Switch 2 bodes well for the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A, scheduled to launch on October 16, 2025, for both the original Switch and Switch 2. Fans can now pre-order the Switch 2 version at select retailers for just $70, saving over $10 compared to other stores. For example, Amazon offers it at around $72, while other retailers like Very and Game UK have higher prices.
While the base version of Pokémon Legends: Z-A can be purchased for approximately $65 on the original Switch, the Switch 2 edition promises enhanced performance with higher frame rates and improved resolution — features that Nintendo officially highlights for upgraded games on the new console.
Pre-Order Tips and Upgrade Options
Although an upgrade pack will be available, preliminary listings suggest it will be more expensive than buying the full Switch 2 version outright—expected to cost around $10, similar to previous Pokémon titles like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. If you want to avoid potential performance issues seen in earlier releases, pre-ordering the Switch 2 edition now ensures you get the best experience at the lowest price.
