We're just hours away from Amazon Prime Day 2026, and one of the harsh truths we disclose to shoppers every year is that Nintendo Switch console deals are virtually nonexistent (at least for new products), minus a few quid here or there.

This is because Nintendo products tend to hold their value extremely well, which is great news for sellers but not so much for buyers. But don't worry, we're running a Nintendo Switch Prime Day live blog this year, just like in previous years, to help you save big on games, accessories, and everything in between.

If you're truly intending to bag a deal on Nintendo's best-selling console, then you're best off shopping refurbished and/or second-hand. This is where the genuinely good deals are found, alongside bundle offers where you might get a game thrown in for free if you're lucky.

Psst – Take note of the Switch 2 Price hike happening in September.

I've picked out some of the top options below to help you save time, energy and expectations when it comes to securing a Switch deal this Prime Day.
