Don't wait for the Nintendo Switch 2, you can save on a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller right now
Still a worthwhile upgrade
If you’ve been holding off for the chance to save a few dollars on a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, then now is the time to act.
Currently available for just $62.75 (was $69.99) at Walmart, this saving of $7.24 might not look like a lot on paper but it’s worth bearing in mind that this official gamepad hasn’t received many major price cuts in the past. In fact, this modest saving is beating out the lowest-ever Amazon price of $64.
If the Nintendo Pro Controller is still outside of your budget, however, consider the PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller as a cheaper alternative. It’s available on sale for just $38.53 (was $59.99) at Amazon which, while not the lowest-ever price, is a solid saving.
Nintendo has confirmed that a Nintendo Switch successor will be announced before March 31 next year, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not a good time to pick up some Nintendo Switch accessories.
The latest Nintendo Switch 2 rumors suggest that the upcoming console will support certain peripherals through backwards compatibility. Although this isn't officially confirmed, it makes this ongoing discount on the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller worth considering.
