Well, if we are counting all the post launch bundles, then the OG Switch definitely had pack-ins too. I bought mine bundled with MK8DX.

But if you want to talk launch pack-ins, the only ones I know had them for certain were the original NES, Game Boy and Wii. The GBP, GBL, GBC, GBA, GCN, all did not launch with pack-ins The DS technically had a Metroid demo and a messaging app. I don’t think the N64 launched with any bundles and SNES looks like it had a launch bundle in North America only. I’m not sure about the 3DS or WiiU, but the NEW 3DS didn’t even come with a charging cable.

So, yeah. It’s very stupid that Welcome Tour isn’t a pack-in, but it is not unprecedented in the least.
