game, switch, legend– Nintendo Switch with gray Joy-Con Now available at Walmart for less than $300.
Enjoyed by players of all ages, the Nintendo Switch needs no introduction. The time-tested console has made gaming more accessible and portable for nearly a decade, and now Walmart is selling the Switch for less than $300. While the Nintendo Switch 2 was released earlier this year, most retailers sell the Switch 2 for $450-$500, making the base model definitely worth considering.
The Nintendo Switch can be played in HD on the go or at home on your TV when docked. It comes with two controllers to fight family members and friends (or enemies depending on the game). This model comes with gray Joy-Con, which, admittedly, aren’t as attractive as some of the red/blue or purple/yellow options, but still gets the job done (without the upcharge).

The Switch’s battery life depends on the game you’re playing, but averages between 4.5 and 9 hours per charge. It has a 6.2-inch screen, 32 GB data storage, and online gaming capabilities.

ZDNET writer Maria Diaz compared the Nintendo Switch to the Nintendo Switch OLED and saw many similarities despite the $50 price difference. Each model has 4GB of RAM with a screen resolution of 1080p for TVs and 720p for handhelds, and each uses a custom Nvidia Tegra X1 processor. Diaz says the OLED model has a larger screen and double the storage, but he adds that “the Nintendo Switch OLED is a version that didn’t live up to the hype.” Finally, under $300 for a never-used model, a classic nintendo switch Definitely lasts.
