Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Switch is being offered as a digital download at a steep discount, and the main draw is instant access to a huge kart racer that is easy to keep on the system. The code usually arrives by email within minutes, often redeeming cleanly on Nintendo's site, and the digital format avoids cartridge swapping. The main caveats are that Walmart's listing appears to be a pricing mistake, checkout can trigger cancellations or unusual activity flags, and the code may land in spam. The Booster Course Pass is not clearly included, so that extra content may still need to be bought separately.
Players who want a digital copy for quick access, because the code can arrive instantly and redeem cleanly on the Nintendo account.
Yes, it appears to be a pricing error. Multiple comments point to the price matching the Booster Course Pass or a discount that should have been about $18 off a $60 game, while comparable prices were around $42.
Walmart's fraud or policy review can cancel the order shortly after checkout, and some accounts get flagged for unusual activity. Using a different payment method, the Walmart app, PayPal, or a different device has worked for some purchases.
The PIN/code is emailed from [email protected], usually within minutes and up to 60 minutes after purchase. If the email does not show up, check spam or the Walmart account page, and a retrieval webpage is available if needed.
Yes. The code redeems normally on Nintendo's site or in the Nintendo shop, and several purchases were activated and downloaded right away. If the game does not auto-download, updating the console software can fix it.
No. The listing is for the base Mario Kart 8 Deluxe digital game, and the Booster Course Pass is a separate purchase on the eShop. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe already includes the Wii U DLC, but not the Booster Course Pass.
I bought this but can't redeem it because I don't have a switch (preordered the OOT Switch) shouldn't have any issues redeeming it once I get that in a month or so right? Also, you can't buy any switch digital games from Nintendo during the sale without first having logged into a switch eshop. Kind of annoying I can't pre purchase some games in advance of receiving the console.
Why can't you go ahead and create a Nintendo account?
In for one. Purchased and code delivered immediately. Redeemed code through Nintendo online without issue. Already had he game but not having to change cartridges is a win for me. I wonder if the digital version will be able to read all of my progress or if I have to start over?

I already have an account but if you try to purchase a digital game from Nintendo it says your account must have first logged into the eshop on a switch console.

I wonder if you can simply just sign up for Nintendo account now and redeem the code in it

Most likely a price mistake. Hop on before it goes dead!

Players who want a digital copy for quick access, because the code can arrive instantly and redeem cleanly on the Nintendo account.
Households tired of swapping cartridges, because the digital version stays on the system and avoids changing game cards.
Switch 2 owners who want the newer multiplayer update, because the game now supports higher refresh rates and up to eight-player split-screen.
Mario Kart fans who want a lot of content, because Deluxe includes the Booster Course expansion and all Wii U DLC.
Shoppers who need a frictionless checkout, because the purchase can trigger unusual-activity flags, cancellations, or repeated payment errors.
Players who expect the code to land in their inbox immediately, because the email can go to spam and sometimes needs retrieval from the account page.
Buyers who want the Booster Course Pass included automatically, because the listing can be missing that DLC despite the description.
People who have not logged a Switch eShop account yet, because redemption can require a console-linked Nintendo account before purchase or activation.
