Nintendo Switch Enthusiasts Should Consider Visiting Target Soon

Sure, let’s dive into this with a little bit of chaos and personality.

So there I was, just minding my business, scrolling through the abyss of Reddit — as one does when trying to avoid life’s responsibilities, right? Anyway, stumbled upon this wild tale of a Nintendo Switch fan. Picture this: they waltz into Target and come out grinning like they’ve just won the lottery.

I mean, who even goes to Target and finds something cheaper than a cup of overpriced coffee, let alone games like Super Mario RPG and Yoshi’s Crafted World? But hey, miracles happen, I guess. So this person, let’s call them Fun-Acanthaceae1075 (don’t ask, usernames are their own art form), scores these games at prices that make the usual discounts look like a joke. Pikmin 1+2 for $14.99? That’s like buying a fancy sandwich. But honestly, who eats sandwiches when you can have Pikmin? Side note: I’ve never been a huge Pikmin fan. Must be a me-thing.

So, this person posts about it — and naturally, Reddit goes wild. You’d think they’d just discovered the eighth wonder of the technology world. People on that subreddit are always on the hunt for deals, of course. Meanwhile, I’m over here wishing I’d bought a few lottery tickets instead. But someone mentioned their Target didn’t have any deals, which got me thinking — why is there never any consistency? One day you find treasure, the next, just overpriced cereal.

Anyway, these clearance finds make me think about the whole retro-gaming vibe. There’s something about dusting off an old favorite game that’s like pulling on a comfy old sweater, right? With the Switch 2 out, everyone and their grandma is looking at the newer stuff. But let’s be real — those old games have a charm, like warm nostalgia wrapped in pixels. And thanks to this whole backwards compatibility thing, folks are actually still hunting for those gems. Or something like that.

And seriously, while we’re on the subject of nostalgia—did you ever notice how the sound of inserting a game cartridge, like, sticks with you? I don’t know how to explain it, kinda like the soft rustle of leaves or the way cardboard feels on a rainy day. Okay, got sidetracked there — back to games.

So while everyone’s waiting for new games for the Switch 2, these clearance games are like a treasure map to happiness. The kind you stumble upon while avoiding adulting. I hear some of these oldies will even get shiny new editions for the updated console. Imagine buying a game for the third time. Classic Nintendo, keeping us coming back like they always do.

Basically, next time you’re at Target, skip the ice cream aisle (unless it’s cookie dough), and maybe you’ll find a killer game deal too. Or don’t — and just enjoy your daydreams of pixelated adventures. Either way, happy gaming, folks!
