A Nintendo enthusiast scored quite the steal, walking away with a Nintendo Switch bundle that included a range of games, controllers, and a dock—all for the unbeatable price of $400. This impressive haul should keep this gamer occupied for quite some time.
Though it seems the Nintendo Switch might be approaching the twilight of its era, it’s undeniable that the console has enjoyed massive success during its run. With buzz around Nintendo’s next system growing, Switch game releases may soon dwindle. However, the last eight years have already offered an incredible lineup of popular titles. Nintendo’s first-party titles and the console’s hybrid design have catapulted it to new heights, making it the best-selling video game console of all time in the US. Given the vast library of games available, it’s no wonder some players haven’t managed to try them all just yet.
One lucky gamer managed to expand their collection with a fantastic second-hand deal. Reddit user Strict-Yam-7972 shared their good fortune after scoring 11 popular games, a console, dock, and controllers for merely $400. The treasure trove included sought-after Pokémon titles like Legends: Arceus and Pokémon Violet. The set also boasted The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild along with its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, and even offered several Xenoblade Chronicles games, plus a PAL version of Bravely Default 2.
The package wasn’t just about the games; it included two sets of Joy-Cons in various colors and two Pikachu-themed controllers. Everything was in pristine condition, making it a standout bargain according to Strict-Yam-7972. Comments on Reddit seemed to echo this sentiment, and the user hasn’t played most of the games yet, opening up a whole lot of future gaming potential. Interestingly, there’s a possibility that the Switch itself will find a new home as they hinted at reselling it.
While stumbling upon such a deal might be rare, stories like these remind us of the occasional goldmines gamers discover by chance. Another story involved a lucky find where someone scored an Xbox 360, complete with games, for free, simply because another person planned to discard them. These tales highlight the potential gems out there for gamers willing to keep an eye out for unexpected treasure troves.
