We do love to have a good browse for Nintendo-related products now and then, sometimes coming across some not-to-be-missed deals, but we've never seen anything quite like this.
At the time of writing, American retailer Walmart has a listing for 300 Nintendo Switch consoles. We don't mean that they have 300 in stock; we mean that they are selling all 300 in one bundle. If the 299 you were originally planning to buy just aren't enough, you can pick this up for the inconsequential sum of $76,506.
Amazingly, the listing tells you just how much you can save by purchasing the 300 in this super money-saving deal. Apparently, you'll save a whopping $13,194 by buying them together. Thank goodness Walmart is here to save the day.
In all honesty, we have no idea what's going on here. You'd assume it must be some sort of error, but we just put a bundle in our basket to try it out and it all seems to work as expected.
We'd normally ask you to leave a comment below letting us know if you'll be picking up whatever we're talking about. So, continuing our good old Nintendo Life tradition, will you be spending $76,000 today? Do let us know below.

Nope , to few friends
Bundle for some really big families
Probably a third-party listing.
This is how the Switch is going to become the bestselling console of all-time!
At just over $250 a Switch this is a real bargain!
i'm in debt cause i thought the quantity was the price
Guys it has free 2 day shipping I'm sold.
Employee discount will be huge!
For all the rooftop parties
Most likely for richy retailers that are looking for a bunch of Switches to sell but cmon... 300 is too much money even with just 15% discount that’s seems actually a joke.
That's way too many Karens
Save $13,194? I'm in!
That's a $45 US savings per unit! BUYBUYBUY! 😆
Guys you can only get 3 bundles of 300 in your cart. I was gonna do the full 12. Guess they don't want me to have 3,600 switches. You just lost a sale Wal Mart. Shame.
And with the update to transfer your game data from one system to another, there hasn't been a better time to buy 300!
Probably the wholesale dealer price.
NL clicked the Buy button?
I see new Guides coming soon telling us where to buy a Switch.
@SinnohGeek I don't think so, it says "Sold and Shipped by Walmart" so I would assume it's not.
Also, $255 a pop? Heck yes!
Call the Air Force. See if they want to hack the Switch and hook them up together to build a supercomputer like they did with the PS3.
well damn i missed it someone bought it!
It's now out of stock 😕
As a Walmart employee, I have to say “What the...?”
I am really interested in what's going on there.🤔 Maybe someone who's not trying to be a die-hard clown and knows a bit about things like this, can shed a little light on this situation?
I mean, this is listed under PC games under a very odd name. What's going on there?
Free shipping!! Even better!!
Proof Nintendo is coming out with a new Switch model. Retailers are trying to dump in bulk at discounted prices!
If 299 of you also chip in for the Nintendo Life Super Family Feeling Family Group to buy this together, I'M IN GUYS!
Btw @nintendolife related issue why can't we buy from you Nintendo Life branded Switchy stuff? For example those cool t-shirts and mugs and game card cases and... who knows what else!
If you wealthy and own a small game store, grab it before Soulja Boy do. Then you can resell it for better profit.
Honestly, I find it odd that there are actually less bulk bundle of any console, although they should probably have it down to a choice of 10-50 units too. If you have the money to shell out, you would have a closet of presents. For the next few years for strangers, family and friends.
Hahaha, that's delightful.
This would definitely save money for large Smash tournaments, it's a little complicated to have everyone bring their own Switch for such large tournaments and $14,000 saved is a metric ****ton of money
I would buy it if I had the money. FlIp em quick and make bank
we need to know if that includes sales tax. If not, a significant portion of the potential profit evaporates. Plus, shipping all of these to prospective buyers....not fun. theres a profit margin here, but not as good as one might hope.
Erm...who needs that many? Walmart is going a little koo-koo.
@Tempestryke
its either that or its a sign that nintendo will be releasing an updated version of the nintendo switch. (and all walmart wants to do is clear their shelves to create room for the inventory...)
For schools perhaps? LABO related?
@Appleflap Hmm.
@MrBlacky glitch in the system I suspect.
I mean, just that it showed up under PC games should be telling enough.
I've seen a lot of signs lately that make it look like Nintendo's clearing current stock to make room for something new.
Maybe for schools that want to use LABO for educational purposes?
Anybody got a spare 70 grand handy?
Wal-Mart is rubbish; don’t even think of giving them a cent of your hard earned cash.
Trying to unload stock prior to E3 and the announcement of new Switch hardware. A portable only Switch will be announced as well as a "slightly" improved Switch. Not this Switch Pro nonsense. Maybe it will be a bigger battery. That would force Nintendo to lower the Switch as we know now down to $250.
@Morpheel most underrated comment
Maybe it is worth it to buy then sell them and try to gain a profit, but that is very risky. Also their is Tax too so probably not worth it at all. (Unless some rich person is so nice to buy them all and give the Switches to people who would enjoy it!)
@SinnohGeek It is Walmart, nobody but Walmart can put things up for sale on the Walmart site. So no third party listing.
It's like a real life Cotton Robe trick.
/Playing way too much Final Fantasy IX
They need to get rid of stock before price drop. Make sense
You can play 3 full rooms of Tetris 99 at the same time.
@dimi They want to sell before the price drops... by massively dropping the price? I think you need to rethink that.
Imagine having a 50% off code laying around. (No clue if Wallmart has those, I never went there.)
finally I can properly support nintendo, I always felt that buying 60 dollar ports is not enough
oh thats chea- ... never mind that is a trip of waste..
Can I use Nintendo Gold points in my purchase?
@ReaderRagfish that was terrible.
