[Walmart] YMMV - Nintendo Switch Wireless Controller - 34.96

Retailer:: Walmart

Found this awesome Nintendo Switch Wireless Controller today at Walmart Ancaster for $34.96. It rang up at this price and there were several left.

It was priced as through this was the normal price and not on clearance or a sale so perhaps it's a price change? Either way, YMMV.

I Love deals.

That's gotta be a pricing error lmao, the Enhanced *Wireless* ones are $69.99 regular.

E: Even checking Stocktrack it says Ancaster is $69.96. Is the UPC on the package wrong?

The price tag on the photo is from a wired controller

OP, can you check what's the UPC on the box that you bought?

Unless it was an error this is the one you'd want, the one you've listed is a knock off controller that's on for regular price.

What? No it's not lol.

The tag doesn't match the actual controller in the photo, but both the product in the photo and the product listed on the tag are 100% real products licensed by Nintendo.

Those are PowerA controllers. They apparently have missing features from the OG pro controller

There's a wireless and wired version of those controllers. They're made by Power A but licensed by Nintendo. The wireless ones are basically Pro controllers missing rumble. The newer ones have a rechargeable battery, but the older ones require 2 AA batteries.

From my understanding the only difference is the lack of NFC (for amiibo), rechargable battery(uses AA instead) and maybe not "HD" rumble. Otherwise works just as well
