The Nintendo Switch 2 will be available for Walmart Plus subscribers today at 9pm Eastern
Most restocks are free to participate in, but not the latest one at Walmart. The retailer will stock both the $449.99 standalone Nintendo Switch 2 and a $499.99 bundle that includes the system along with a digital copy of Mario Kart World exclusively for Walmart Plus subscribers today starting at 9PM EDT/6PM PDT. Mind you, there’s no discount. You’re just getting a chance to buy one.
The Switch 2 has been difficult to find, and there haven’t been many opportunities to buy one if you missed out on a preorder before its June 5th launch. It’s disappointing that the restock is locked behind a subscription, but hopefully the retailer has many consoles to distribute. Walmart Plus costs $12.95 per month, or $98 per year, but you can sign up for a free, 30-day trial if you’re primarily interested in using the service to pick up a Switch 2.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has been out for less than a month, but it’s already the fastest-selling game console.. The Switch 2 has a 7.9-inch 1080p screen, which is both larger and higher resolution than the original Switch’s 6.2-inch 720p display. Its magnetically-attached Joy-Con 2 controllers are larger, and have improved top buttons. An exclusive feature called GameChat allows you to hop onto a call with people on your friends list with the push of a “C” button embedded in the console’s right Joy-Con 2 or Pro Controller. Heck, you can even use either Joy-Con 2 on its side to use as a mouse in supported games (of which there currently aren’t many).
