Happy Switchiversary! Can you believe it's already been 2 years since the Nintendo Switch released? Did you ever think you'd be having as much fun collecting and playing games? I know I'm loving it! Also, was last week hard on your wallets? Hoping to see a little relief in March? Then you're in luck as there are not many physical Switch titles releasing this week. What are they? Let's find out!
Out Now - Early release?!
0. LEGO Movie 2 Video Game ($39.99) - GameStop link here.
So here's an interesting one. Apparently, GameStop stores (and online) have already been receiving and selling their copies of the game. However, Amazon still shows a 3/18 release date and Best Buy shows a 3/26. So if you can't wait, you know where to find it now! Plus, GameStop is offering a free Emmett mini-LEGO set with purchase.
Tuesday, March 5th
1. My Little Riding Champion ($29.99) - Amazon link here.
2. R.B.I. Baseball 19 ($29.99)
So here's another interesting release. GameStop and Target are showing a release date of 3/5. Best Buy is showing a release date of 3/12 and Walmart is showing a release date of 3/19. On top of that, GameStop is offering an exclusive coin with purchase and Walmart is offering an exclusive pack of TOPPS cards with purchase.
3. Paw Patrol: On a Roll ($39.99) - Target link here.
Wait a minute! Didn't this game come out last year? Technically you are right, but it was originally a Walmart exclusive. It appears that exclusivity period has ended and now other retailers will be receiving this title. Again, what's odd about this release is Target will be receiving it on Tuesday and Best Buy will be offering it on 3/12. So, I'm putting it here for those that have yet to buy it. From personal experience, it is a really fun game to play with your little ones!
