If you've just bought yourself a shiny new Nintendo Switch 2 but haven't picked up a memory card because of the exorbitant price, then Walmart has a deal that you don't want to miss. For a very limited time, the Onn 256GB Micro SDXC Express Card is back in stock for just $35.77. The official Samsung 256GB memory card is listed for $59.99 at Target.
Update: This deal goes in and out of stock and is only available for shipping at select zip codes, so your mileage may vary. Even if shipping isn't available, there are sometimes an in-store pickup option at a nearby Walmart location.
Onn 256GB MicroSDXC Express Memory Card for $35.77
Nintendo Switch 2 Compatible
Onn is Walmart's privately owned house brand, so you won't find this memory card sold anywhere else. MicroSDXC Express cards are much faster than standard MicroSDXC cards and the Onn model is no different, with speeds of up to 800MB/s write and 600MB/s read. More importantly for gamers, the Switch 2 is compatible with and can take full advantage of the capabilities of the MicroSDXC Express format. Some of us at IGN have purchased this memory card when it was available last month and having been using it without any problems.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Is readily available
The Nintendo Switch 2 was extremely difficult to find at launch, but this doesn't seem to be the case anymore. As of this post, the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Tour console bundle is currently in stock and shipping immediately from Target at the retail price of $499.99. If you have a Target Circle Card, then it's eligible for a 5% instant discount. Alternatively, you can preorder the Nintendo Switch 2 Pokémon Legends: Z-A console bundle from Walmart for $499. This bundle ships out when the game releases on October 16.
The Nintendo Switch is going up in price
Nintendo recently announced that it will raise the prices of the Switch 1 consoles. These price hikes are as high as 15% and are set to go in effect on August 3. Nintendo also hinted that the price of the Switch 2 may go up in the near future as well. If you're been on the fence about picking up the current generation console, this might be a good reason to grab one now.
The new Switch prices starting August 3:
Switch OLED - $399.99 (from $350)
Non-OLED - $339.99 (from $300)
Switch Lite - $229.99 (from $200)
