Well, here we go. Honestly, I don’t even know why I’m writing about this, but you know these new Nintendo Switch 2s? They’re like a unicorn got lost, wandered into a store, and turned into a gaming console. Seriously, as soon as they hit the shelves, they’re gone. Poof! Like, you think you have a chance, then — nah, just kidding, they’re sold out. I’ve personally blinked and missed entire restocks.
But hey, a little birdie told me there might be some at Best Buy or Walmart. Maybe. Could be worth a shot if you’re in the right spot. You’ve got the choice between the standalone Switch 2 or a fancy bundle with Mario Kart World. Not gonna lie, every time I hear “World,” I think of that time I almost danced off a cliff. Anyway, the standalone’s $449, bundle $499 — in case you wanna know, like anyone’s counting pennies these days, right?
The specs? Oh boy, here we go. It’s got this 7.9-inch screen. Not that I’ve measured it myself, but supposedly it’s a step up with 1080p. Combine it with a dock and surprise, surprise, you get 4K. It’s like magic but with more pixels. And, just when you think it can’t get better, the screen alone hits 120 FPS with HDR. Ambitious little thing.
News flash: blink and they’ll be history again. MSRP is where you’re safe; don’t fall for those reseller tricks. Unless you enjoy throwing money at the internet. Pro tip: double-check it’s Walmart or Best Buy direct, or who knows where it’ll end up.
Oh, and if you’re just in it for deals (aren’t we all?), there are these PC hardware deals roaming the internet. No idea why I mention it here, but it’s there if you squint hard enough to see it. I got sidetracked, but who’s counting?
Anyway, happy hunting. Or racing. Or whatever you’re gonna do with it.
