Black Friday is over, and for multiple reasons many of us weren’t able to pick up that game or console we were looking forward to. However, if you were looking for a certain handheld console by a certain Japan based company, Walmart’s Nintendo Switch bundle may be worth looking into.
The bundle comes with the upgraded Switch, which has better battery life than the original version, a sturdy looking licensed carrying case, which is a must-have for any handheld console, and a 12-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online, all at $299. Considering that this bundle costs as much as a Nintendo Switch usually would, it seems to be a great deal for anyone hoping to buy the console.
If you want to do the math, a decent carrying case would come for around $20 while a one-year Nintendo Switch Online subscription costs about the same. Sure, it’s not as great as the Black Friday deal, but it’s still pretty sweet! The Walmart site says this bundle will be available “while supplies last.” Keeping in mind that the console hasn’t been as easy to find, prospective buyers should keep an eye on this deal. As mentioned before, this is the updated version of the Switch, with improved battery life. It also totes the original neon blue and neon red Joy-Cons.
This is just one of the numerous updates (physical and online) that Nintendo has incorporated to the console. Just last week, Nintendo rolled out an update which allows you to share photos and videos to phones using a QR code. You can also share them to PC’s via a USB cable.
The update also toggled the data sharing feature to on. Many of you may find this annoying as you may not wish to share your data with Nintendo. What’s even more frustrating is that this toggle isn’t really the easiest thing to find in the UI. We’ve made a step-by-step walkthrough on how you can toggle this feature off if you’ve downloaded and installed update 11.0.
You may want to keep an eye on this toggle after every update, as who knows when Nintendo decides to sneakily switch it back on.
