Eh... about 16% off the $59.99 price. Seems alright for now but probably could have gotten this price if I had preordered. This deal will likely only appeal to anyone who wanted to preorder but couldn't for whatever reason.

The game looks awesome and when it drops substantially in price, I'll be one of the first to jump on it. For now though, my backlog is extensive enough to keep my money in my wallet.

Not sure what the TDs are for. I've been looking everywhere and it's regular $59.99 which is expected since the game just came out today. To be discounted on the day of release and be under $50 pretax, that's pretty good to me. Thanks for the find!

I've read that it takes 18-20 hours to complete but with how busy life has become as an adult that's more than sufficient for $50-60 in content.

My concern is this game will be like Bayonetta 2, and physical copies will become scarce

Walmart has been doing this for the last few Switch major releases, including Fire Emblem, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and a couple others. $10 discount for new Switch games on release day. Not sure the origin of the promotion or if you can get confirmation on what games will have it, but something to look out for in the future.

I'd say that's a valid concern and you never know. I gave the post a thumbs up, because I do think it might help someone, somewhere.

This is not surprising as Walmart has been taking $10 off on release games for Switch for months now.

Just a heads up when searching for NEW games to buy at Walmart — before you go to the store, call and be transferred to electronics, and have them "hold" you a copy before you go. Walmart's online inventory tracker is extremely inaccurate, slow, and glitchy. It will say a game is in stock when it's not, etc. And people seem to have "caught on" that Walmart is the cheapest place to go for new games, so physical copies sell out *fast*. Happy hunting!

This has been the case with many Nintendo first party games for some time now. Fire Emblem 3 Houses got similar treatment on launch day.

I thought Walmart was discounting video games now so this is the new normal I'd think.

Wouldn't surprise me.

But on an unrelated note, we muricans aren't getting the glowing steelbook like the Euros and Aussies are.
