Fortune’s Weave Sparks Banana-Backed Walmart Shortage

TL;DR
Kotaku reports that Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave’s Switch 2 launch sparked a quirky promo frenzy: fans followed Wario64’s Walmart discount tips and even joked about adding bananas to orders, which coincided with Walmart’s banana page showing as out of stock. The ripple effect shows up as low stock of physical copies at Walmart and Amazon, with some buyers paying the higher boxed-price (around $80) amid ongoing launch-week demand for the game.
