A Nintendo enthusiast recently scored a fantastic deal, managing to snag a Switch, a bunch of games, controllers, and a dock for just $400. This fan’s haul features a solid lineup of titles, promising plenty of gaming hours to come.
As we anticipate news of Nintendo’s next big system, it’s clear the Switch may be heading towards its twilight years. Despite this, the past eight years have been nothing short of spectacular for the console, boasting a robust catalog of beloved games. Thanks to its unique hybrid design, the Switch has soared to become the top-selling video game console in the U.S., offering an array of gaming experiences that many have yet to fully explore.
In a stroke of luck, one player managed to expand their gaming library significantly with this bargain Switch package. A Redditor, Strict-Yam-7972, shared their success in acquiring 11 games, a console, a dock, and some controllers all for $400. Among these were big titles like Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon Violet, and both The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Not to forget the inclusion of several Xenoblade Chronicles games and the PAL version of Bravely Default 2.
Beyond the games, this haul also came with vibrant Joy-Con controllers and two additional Pikachu-themed controllers. Strict-Yam-7972 was thrilled with the condition of everything, calling it the best deal they’ve ever landed. Fellow Reddit users pointed out just how much value was packed into their purchase. Interestingly, Strict-Yam-7972 has only played two of the games so far, leaving ample room for new gaming adventures. They also mentioned plans to perhaps resell the console itself to another eager gamer.
While deals like the one Strict-Yam-7972 found aren’t an everyday occurrence, there are tales of other gamers also stumbling upon great finds. Take, for instance, another gamer who landed an Xbox 360, complete with games and accessories, absolutely free because the original owner was about to discard them. These stories remind us that keeping an eye out for video game bargains can pay off in unexpected and exciting ways.
Meanwhile, those interested in grabbing a Switch will be pleased to know that the newer OLED model is available at a reduced price. This version boasts a vibrant 7-inch screen, improved sound, and enhanced connectivity, making it a prime choice for detailed gaming experiences. It’s certainly something to consider as part of any gaming setup.
