Walmart Nets Exclusive Nintendo Switch System Bundle
Begin your holiday shopping early with Walmart’s exclusive Nintendo Switch bundle. The set will include the Neon Red/Blue Joy-Con controllers with the Switch console and digital copies of 1-2 Switch and Mario Tennis Aces. The package will run $359.99 and will hit stores on September 5, 2018.
While we think Mario Tennis Aces is a great pack-in and a fun game, we really didn’t like 1-2 Switch (review here). Granted, some younger kids and a very casual audience might find enjoyment with that title, but it’s not exactly a must-have game by any means. We’re also not a huge fan of the games being digital downloads since the Switch has very little storage space to begin with. These games will effectively take up half of the memory out of the gate.
Still, if you were planning on picking up Mario Tennis Aces anyway, this bundle could be for you. You get 1-2 Switch for free – we’re just not sure it’s worth the hassle.
