The Witcher 3 For Nintendo Switch Street Date Broken

Earlier this year, it was teased that The Witcher 3 would be coming to the Nintendo Switch. It was later confirmed that the game would indeed be coming on the 15th of October, However, according to a post on Reddit, it seems that Walmart could have accidentally released the game earlier than they were supposed to.

According to the original poster who managed to pick up a copy at their local Walmart, “Got mine at a Wal-Mart in the PAC NW today. $49.94. Was stocked on the bottom of the display case with overstock. The rep seemed surprised to see it. The receipt simply shows the game as ‘NSW GAME’. I’m not sure if that’s how Walmart tracks titles in their system, but it seemed rather bland.”

So does this mean that you’ll be able to get your hands on the game at Walmart? Your mileage may vary as in this case, an employee might have accidentally put it up for sale when they weren’t supposed to. Other stores could be a bit more careful with their releases, so like we said, it will vary from store to store, but you could always try your luck.

The poster also shared some initial impressions of the game, where they note that it seems to run pretty smoothly in both handheld in docked mode, although there are some slight graphical downgrades.
