  "account": "Ahead of the Switch 2 Edition's release on November 12, digital copies of Pikmin 4 have dropped to $39.88 at Walmart. This represents a 34% savings compared to the game's full price. What makes this offer particularly attractive is the ability to use it to save money on the upcoming Switch 2 upgrade pack. By preordering the upgrade pack, which costs $9.99, you can secure a Switch 2 copy of the game for $49.87. That's about $20 less than the full price of the new physical Switch 2 edition, which is $69.99. This is a significant discount and a great deal for fans of the game. The Switch 2 edition of Pikmin 4 is expected to have improved visuals, voice commands for Oatchi, Dandori Battles to challenge friends, and the new Dandori Academy mode with 72 stages of varying difficulty. The game has received positive reviews, with IGN awarding it a 9 out of 10. Nintendo's store page promises a long-term release of new content, making this a game worth watching.",
  "summary": "Walmart has marked digital copies of Pikmin 4 down to $39.88 ahead of its Switch 2 upgrade in November. With that deal, you can upgrade for about $20 less than buying a Switch 2 copy outright.",
