Walmart is currently offering an *exceptionally* low price of just $39 for a pair of Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers. This incredible deal, however, is not available in all regions across the US. For those fortunate enough to be eligible, the option to add these controllers to your cart and complete the purchase will be readily available.
It wouldn`t be surprising if Walmart adjusts this price in the near future. This substantial discount could either be an effort by the retailer to clear specific Joy-Con models from its inventory or potentially an inadvertent pricing error.
This particular two-pack features the vibrant Neon Purple and Neon Orange controllers, along with Nintendo`s official Joy-Con Attachment sets. These attachments include removable wrist straps, which are highly recommended for games utilizing motion controls. They also prove useful for titles supporting single Joy-Con play, as the attachments come with larger shoulder buttons.
It`s worth noting that while original Switch Joy-Cons are not compatible with the upcoming Switch 2 in handheld mode, they will still function wirelessly in both docked and tabletop configurations.
Normally priced between $80 and $90, acquiring original Switch Joy-Con controllers specifically for a Switch 2 might not be the most practical choice. However, at the unprecedented price of $39, they become a significantly more attractive option.
To enhance the experience and transform the pair of controllers into a more traditional gamepad, investing in a grip is advisable. Walmart offers the officially licensed Joy-Con Comfort Grip for an additional $11.49.
This $39 offer from Walmart establishes an all-time low price for Switch Joy-Con controllers from any major retailer. The deal is especially noteworthy as it follows Nintendo`s recent price increase, raising original Joy-Con two-packs to $90. This means eligible buyers are effectively saving a remarkable $51 compared to Nintendo`s official pricing.
Looking ahead, Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers are now priced at $100, reflecting a $5 increase from their initial launch price of $95. Despite this, Amazon was still selling Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con sets for $95 as of August 29.
