The Switch 2 is being framed as the better-performing Nintendo option, with smoother gameplay, better Joy-Cons, and strong docked play on big OLED TVs. The deal also stands out because it can be reserved online at select Micro Center stores, and Best Buy price matching reportedly worked in some cases. The main drawbacks are the in-store pickup restriction, the need to live near a Micro Center, and the lack of a must-have exclusive for some buyers. It feels most compelling for anyone ready to play now and focused on Nintendo exclusives.

Common Questions (5)

  • No, the listing is in-store pickup only. That makes it impractical if your nearest Micro Center is far away, even though the deal can be reserved online.

  • It is a stronger choice if you want better performance, smoother gameplay, and free upgrades for many Switch 1 games; some also note the Joy-Cons feel better. The main caveat is that the value depends on whether you want Nintendo exclusives enough to justify the console and the often expensive games.

  • The deal is tied to in-store pickup, and one shopper was denied because staff treated it as a membership offer even though it is free. Another comment says the price is only supposed to apply if you live within 25 miles of a Micro Center and chat with a rep.

  • A lower price is not expected soon; one prediction puts a future Switch 2 OLED at $549 or more because of prior Nintendo pricing, tariffs, and electronics price hikes. That makes $400 look like a relatively strong current price if you want the console now.

  • Best Buy price matching can work for this deal, but it is not guaranteed. The match was reportedly honored for this Micro Center offer and a prior Mac mini deal, so it may depend on the rep and store policy.

And u can Price match this deal thru BBY. YMMV. They did it for Mac mini AND this deal from last month too. Again YMMV as I was able to score one.
BB did not price match for me, twice. I'm done with them, they keep saying because it's a member price they can't do it and one even told me Microcenter is charging for it. It's a big load of BS and I'm just done with BB, it's not the first time and this will be the last.

Naah this is the last time for me, had issues with purchases before not related to price matching. I'd rather drive the extra 45 mins to microcenter if I need something.

Not buying anymore Nintendo games or consoles until they get rid of their Nintendo America CEO. It is 2026 folks and we are dealing with 2015 nonsense.

Pretty open minded when it comes to games, though I stick with single player. Looking mostly at Zelda to start. And I understand it's somewhat a subjective question. Just wanted to get other people's thoughts.
You're going to get much better answers on reddit.

Quote from FaithfulMoon8086 View quoted comment :
I don't think none of Nintendos first party games are mediocre on switch 2.There aren't to many mediocre games on the platform period you could argue that a lot of the game are older games but non not many of those game are mediocre.Im just stating facts and I own a ps5 with 50 game and 3rds of the top games but I have more with party Nintendo games then any other systems and that's why I buy them.
Holy run-on sentence, Batman. What are you even trying to say? So you think they are all mediocre then? Just say that instead of using double negatives.

Good price. There was a time when tariff fearmongers persuaded people to rush out to buy before a price hike. Obviously, it was an unfounded fear, and there's hardly any scarcity. Mine is collecting dust because I got bored.
I thought the tariff price is already priced at launch

Nintendo's limited catalog, pushy legal garbage bullying, low processing power, and how 90% of their games are slop from the steam store now. Also, none of their AAA games have been all that groundbreaking since Mario Galaxy 1

Oh you get a few mildly fun games but steam deck still better investment.

The Joycons def feel better on the 2 though. But I can't bring myself to buy this until there's an exclusive title that matters to me.
