Walmart is making a big change to their Gamestop brand, and it has some big implications for gamers. Starting on March 1st, 2019, all Gamestop stores will be switching over to the Walmart GamePass service. This new system will give you access to a much wider range of games than you currently have access to through the Gamestop game selection. In this article, we’re going to take a look at what this means for gamers, and what you need to know about it if you’re planning on visiting a Gamestop in the near future.
What is Walmart’s Gamestop Switch Games?
If you’re looking for a great selection of games to play on your Switch, Walmart is definitely your go-to place. They carry a wide variety of video games, from popular franchises like Mario and Zelda to more obscure titles that might be new to you. Here’s what you need to know about Walmart’s Gamestop Switch games lineup.
First and foremost, Walmart does not carry any exclusives.
This means that no game in their lineup is only available at Gamestop. All the games are available at both stores, so there’s no need to worry about being unable to get your hands on a specific game.
Walmart also has a great selection of retro games. If you’re nostalgic for some of the older titles from your childhood, Walmart is likely where you’ll find them. They have a wide variety of classic console games, including many from Nintendo and Sega, as well as some arcade classics like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.
Finally, it’s worth noting that Walmart does not carry any digital versions of games. If you want to buy a game physical copy, that’s what you’ll need to do at Walmart.
What are the games that will be available on the switch?
The Nintendo Switch has a large library of games that you can play. Here are the games that will be available at Walmart’s Gamestop store:
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Splatoon 2
Super Mario Odyssey
