Walmart cancels pre-orders for Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 a day before launch
Customers who pre-ordered the limited-edition Switch 2 from Walmart were notified that their orders were cancelled on the eve of the product’s release, with the retailer citing oversold inventory.
Walmart informed customers that pre-orders for the Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition Switch 2 have been cancelled, sending the notice a day before the console’s official street date. The retailer said it had oversold the limited units based on the stock it received, leaving insufficient inventory to fulfill the orders.
The cancellation comes as the special edition console remains scarce, with resale prices reported above $700 on secondary markets. Affected customers may need to purchase the device at higher prices from other sellers or wait for additional stock to become available at other retailers.
