BUNDLE AND SAVE: Walmart is the exclusive home of a new Nintendo Switch bundle this holiday season. Visit the big box store to score a regular Switch console, a carrying case, and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online individual membership (a $353.98 value) for only $299.
Nintendo was holding out on us, apparently.
The gaming giant waited a whole week after Black Friday to drop a new Nintendo Switch bundle for the holidays. No matter, though: It’s still in stock at Walmart at the time of writing.
This three-part package contains a standard (non-OLED) Switch console with Neon Blue and Red Joy-Cons, a Neon Blue Edition Carrying Case, and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online individual membership. That’s a $353.98 value altogether, but it’s listed for just $299 (or about $55 off) — that’s a darn good deal considering the console itself retails for the exact same price.

Note that unlike this season’s other Switch bundle, which contains a Nintendo Switch Online membership and a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, this new one is exclusive to Walmart; other retailers like Amazon don’t carry it. But for anyone who was banking on quick Prime shipping to make sure there’s something under the tree come Christmas morning, fret not — the big box store was promising free two-day shipping the last time we checked (no subscription required).
Some other important fine print: Ongoing supply chain issues have made everyone’s favorite dual-mode console especially tough to find this year, so know that we’re not being dramatic when we say that this might be your last chance to score a Switch in time for your gift exchange. Hop to it, folks.
