Is It Possible To Find A Nintendo Switch 2 In Store At Walmart?
972I was pleasantly surprised at the relative ease I had in getting not one, but TWO Nintendo Switch 2 Consoles at launch. I was able to get a pre-order at both Walmart's website and in person at Gamestop. 5 weeks since the launch, however, I've hard a hard time finding them in-store. Let's take a look and see if we can find a Nintendo Switch 2 in the wild at 2 of our local Walmart stores.
Walking up to the electronics section of the first store in Champaign, Il I was really digging all the signage that they had laid out for the new system. Nintendo really did a great job in partnering with Walmart and their signage. When I turned the corner around the Nintendo end cap and started to investigate, I was greeted with what I expected.
An empty display case.
But it wasn't just Nintendo Switch 2 systems that were sold out. There wasn't a Switch, Switch 2, Switch Lite, or Switch OLED to be found. The same can be said about Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation 5 systems!
Next I checked in with the store a few minutes away in Urbana, IL. The glass showcase which normally held the original Nintendo Switch, the Switch OLED, and the Switch Lite actually had quite a few systems! I looked around the rest of the department to see if there were systems possibly hanging out anywhere else and then I saw it, the Switch 2 display case. And it was completely empty. Looking back inside the glass showcase I saw the price tags for both systems, the Switch 2 and the Switch 2 with the Mario Kart World bundle. Unfortunately, this showcase was empty. I found an employee and asked if they had any open stock. They indicated they did have open stock initially, but they had since sold out.
