All eyes are on Nintendo Switch 2 preorders at the moment, but if you can't find stock and don't want to wait another week and a half and face queuing up in person at a physical store, Amazon has a tempting $19.99 off the Nintendo Switch OLED in today's Memorial Day sale.

Sure, $19.99 is hardly a massive saving, but any kind of a deal on a Switch console is a bit of a rarity. The best Nintendo Switch OLED price in the US to date remains $50 off last July and that lasted just hours. The current sale price at Amazon is $330 – which is almost $120 cheaper than what the new Switch 2 will set you back, and the new console isn't OLED.

Save $19.99

Overview: The Nintendo Switch OLED model shares a lot of the same features and internal specs as the standard Nintendo Switch model, but boasts an OLED display for better contrast, much more internal storage and a kickstand for more convenient mobile play.

Key features: Display: 7-inch OLED (1280 x 720 HD)| Storage: 64GB | Weight: 0.71 pounds | Dimensions: 102 x 242 x 13.9mm (with Joy-Cons)

Release date: October 2021

Price history: We very rarely see discounts on Nintendo Switch consoles, and Nintendo tech is known for holding its value extremely well, which is why the original console has remained the same price since 2017. If you're happy using an adapter for the plug, Walmart has an imported Japanese version for $269.95.

Price comparison: Nintendo: $349 | Best Buy: $349.99
