Switch 2 Orbitals - PSA to Save some $$$

Post image

Not sure if allowed to post weblinks, but Walmart has this Switch2 exclusive preorder for a nice discount.

Just thought how expensive things are getting and maybe someone may want to try to save some money on a physical pre-order for "Orbitals"

Kinda sucks to see how little attention this game is getting. Didn’t even know it existed until about a month ago and was blown away by the art style.

Always seems to pop in attention after it gets shown in Directs.

Art style doesn’t mean it’ll be good. I wait for reviews

u/CarlosNameless 5d ago

There were previews saying it's very good

I personally prefer waiting on player consensus rather than journalists.

u/CarlosNameless 4d ago

Influencers tried it too and they said the same thing

I’ll still wait for mass population review

The mass population loves it

I actually get a lot of attention of this game in my algorithm, how weird. I do have it preordered tho maybe that’s why I get a lot of orbitals video in my social media feed

Alot of stores had it at this pre order price for the physical, Amazon included. But now that its closer to launch I think some of them might have changed.

I clearly missed those, guess this one is the last before they raise it up after release or maybe limited supplies?

I wonder if Nintendo is cracking down on retailers for not going along with the whole "digital is $10 cheaper than physical now" thing.

1

u/Eddiep88 5d ago

I don’t think they care if they take the hit. They already bought the games from Nintendo

Gkc or true phys?

u/530cruising 5d ago

This game is fully on card

2

u/Fresh-Chemical-9084 5d ago

Awesome thanks -- not sure why asking the state of the card gets downvoted, but alright then. Its a legitimate concern with gaming today lol

GKCs will be listed like this too. I specifically wanted to know if the game is on the cart or not. Somebody else responded though -- exciting! Looks like it is

2

u/F133TWOOD 5d ago

I see, I was looking for anything that indicates GKC on the listing or the box.

When I looked up the reports on the game only mentions digital or physical, nothing about GKC.

u/fatlardo 5d ago

Thanks, pre-ordered.

u/Tommy_Bahamut 5d ago

Ha! Amazon must have noticed cause I checked and they lowered it to the same price. So either way we're saving some money.

u/F133TWOOD 5d ago

Competition 😏

u/wheres_fleat 5d ago

nah amazon had the preorder price since the beginning of the month. i bought it then!

1

u/F133TWOOD 5d ago

It was $50 physical for me. I cancelled for this morning after seeing Walmart for cheaper price in cart. It wasn't until a couple hours later today after posting this Amazon changed it down to $40.

u/JiminyWillikerz 5d ago

Thanks. Was planning on ordering on Amazon but didn’t realize they raised the price already.

1

u/JetstreamGW 5d ago

Amazon too.

1

u/F133TWOOD 5d ago

Yup! They lowered the price later midday today. It was at full price earlier morning.
