The strat for your savings
If your weekend plans involve absolutely nothing, listen up. My coworker Sheena Vasani found a major W for your wallet: the digital version of Pikmin 4 is currently sitting at $39.88 over at Walmart. That’s a solid $20 off the usual price, and it hits your inbox with instant delivery.
Why it’s giving main character energy
If you haven't played it yet, Pikmin 4 keeps that classic puzzle-solving vibe we love but cranks it up. You get a dog companion now—lowkey a game changer for the combat—plus the story dives into some genuinely dark undertones that the older games only whispered about. It’s a total vibe.
The Switch 2 jump
Ok, but why should you care about the price drop now? Because the Switch 2 edition is looming on November 12th, 2026. Nintendo is dropping that version with some major glow-ups: polished visuals, voice commands for your dog, and a new 'Dandori Academy' mode for extra challenges.
Instead of paying the full $69.99 for the Switch 2 version later, you can just cop this $40 base game and pay an extra $10 for the upgrade. It’s an easy way to save $20 total. Say less, right?
Why it matters
Gaming hardware transitions are notoriously expensive. By stacking this discount with the affordable upgrade path, you’re basically future-proofing your library without paying the 'new console' tax. It’s giving smart spending.
