US-based retail chains Target and Walmart are listing placeholders for the upcoming Nintendo Switch, and rabid fans are already wildly speculating at what it all could mean.
Target’s placeholder, first spotted by Twitter’s Wario64, has just been set at $299.99 USD, with an additional fifteen game placeholders starting at $59.99 USD.
