It’s nearly Prime Day, the Amazon-iest day of the year. Well, days, because Prime Day now runs for a full 48 hours – and in fact early deals are already running.
That’s where we come in. We’ve done our best to scour the web for the biggest savings on Nintendo Switch consoles, accessories, and games so that you can game for less this year.
We’re looking for savings on the console itself primarily – with the regular Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite all available. That includes bundles, plus we’ll be rounding up any really great deals we spot on accessories from Joy-Con controllers to carry cases and microSD cards – not to mention the games themselves.
Prime Day is an Amazon event, and requires you to be a Prime subscriber to take advantage of the best deals – though remember that you can to get all the benefits during the sales period. We’ve also included offers below from rival retailers in both the US and UK too, as stores do their best to undercut Bezos any way they can.
