Hurry and Snag a Nintendo Switch 2 at Walmart or Best Buy Before They’re Gone

The weird thing about the Nintendo Switch 2 is how it’s kinda like a mythical creature. Seriously, it’s like searching for a Unicorn or maybe that’s just me being dramatic. Ever since it dropped, folks are scrambling like it’s the last slice of pizza at a party. Bam! Gone. Just like that. Blink and you miss it. It’s the gizmo everyone wants, but can’t get — unless you’re lightning quick with a keyboard, that is. Goods pop up, vanish, like playing whack-a-mole but for grown-ups.

Okay, so right now — and who knows how long this will last — you might luck out at Best Buy or maybe Walmart. But here’s the kicker: it’s like fishing. You gotta check if your area has it and if the stock fairy is on your side today. There’s the plain version and a bundle — which, fun fact, comes with a digital Mario Kart World. Who doesn’t like zooming around as a plumber on steroids? Flat-out retail prices here. Just plain ol’ $449 if you want the simple life, or $499 if bundling’s your thing.

Let’s talk numbers — just for a sec — before my brain fries. Screen’s a hefty 7.9 inches. Makes my old phone look like a postage stamp, honestly. They juiced up the resolution to 1080p from the baby 720p. Slap it on a dock, boom, and it’s flexing 4K abilities, but only if you squint the right way. Without the dock, it still races at 120 frames per second, with HDR popping in, software permitting.

Here’s a pro tip: jump on this before it’s gone like socks in a dryer. Oh, and a heads-up. Prices are at MSRP, so if they suddenly hike, maybe hit pause? Don’t get swindled by some sneaky third-party seller. Always make sure it’s the big guys — Walmart or Best Buy — holding it down.

In the meantime, if your wallet’s feeling frisky, check out where we stash deals on computer bits and bobs. Like, hard drives — do people even buy those anymore? — graphics cards, you know, the works. But hey, I ramble. Where were we again?
