Walmart is currently offering a Nintendo Switch 2 console bundled with an official Switch 2 Pro controller for $539. This bundle appears to be priced before a recent increase in the console's cost, which now stands at $499.99. The deal is particularly noteworthy for consumers looking to acquire the Switch 2 at a potentially advantageous price point.
The gaming community has recently seen the announcement of a The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Nintendo Switch 2, which has experienced rapid sell-outs. While this special edition is priced at $519 and does not include a game, the Walmart bundle offers a standard console and controller combination at a competitive price.
Several significant titles have launched for the Nintendo Switch 2, including Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Kirby Air Riders, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, and Pokemon Pokopia. Future major releases are slated for September 17 with Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave and November 5 with Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
The Switch 2 has also become a platform for substantial ports, such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. The console's hardware capabilities allow these demanding games to run at playable frame rates, a feat not possible on the original Switch.
The deal at Walmart is expected to be of limited duration.
