LIVE: Nintendo Switch Prime Day nearly over: Last day of Prime Week sees small console discounts and big deals on games

Hello there! I'm Beren and as the ecom editor of Creative Bloq, I'm here to find you the best deals on the equipment you love the most – and everyone loves the Nintendo Switch!

Things officially start with Amazon Prime Week tomorrow (it runs from Tuesday to Thursday), but I was seeing enough deals to justify this live article. So, the plan is to update this page as and when fresh deals come out, so you don't miss a thing.

And I've pinned all the best deals higher up on the page... happy hunting!

Here are Creative Bloq we usually steer clear of refurbished models. But things are tight, and nowadays there are great guarantees on secondhand kit, so I'm going to be highlighting Amazon refurbished Switch consoles here.

Top of the list right now is the Nintendo Switch OLED (renewed), down from £300 to £175 over at Amazon.

These are usually Switch consoles that have been returned, thoroughly checked and given the TLC they need to get them up to standard.

Coming back to brand new Switch gear, and things are looking promising for Switch games – for both generation consoles.

Switch 2 games:

• EA SPORTS FC 26: £45 £21
• Pokémon Pokopia: £60 £58
• STAR WARS Outlaws (Gold Edition): £45 £44.57

Switch 1 games:

• Donkey Kong Country Returns HD: £50 £40
• Animal Crossing: New Horizons: £50 £37
• Super Mario Bros. Wonder: £50 £37
• Minecraft: £25 £20

Hey gamers, Beth here, taking over for a little bit. I'm a proud owner of the Nintendo Switch Gen 1, Gen 2, 3DS, DS Lite, and my favourite console of all time – the Nintendo 64.

This Prime Day, I'm looking out for deals on games and accessories more than anything else, as the harsh truth is that we almost never see genuinely good deals on Nintendo Switch consoles, minus a few quid here or there. The best console deals are found in bundles or refurbished tech, so don't waste your time this Prime. Let us do the deal hunting for you.

Nintendo Switch refurbished deals

I've just put together a guide to ALL of the current refurbished Nintendo Switch console deals available right now, in the UK, with up to 45% off older Switch models from retailers like Amazon and Back Market.

There's no need to worry when shopping for used consoles, so long as you have a guarantee or warranty of some kind included with your purchase, then everything is Princess Peachy! (sorry).

I used to work at a secondhand game store, and giving life to a used console is great for not only your wallet but the recommerce economy and the planet too.

The best deal I've found on the Nintendo Switch 2 this Prime Day isn't at Amazon, but at a new UK retailer called JoyBuy. You can get the console for only £385 £359.95 at JoyBuy, thanks to a special new customer coupon which knocks an additional £10 off the price.

Don't worry, the website and app are 100% legit and safe to buy from (I've used it myself), with fast delivery before 3 pm, same day depending on where you live. That's pretty hard to compete with. Take a look at my JoyBuy Switch deal article for all the info you need.

We've talked about games and accessories being some of the only decent Prime Day deals, and if you're in the market for a new Joy-Con alternative controller for the Switch 2, then I have plenty of options to recommend.

The Joy-Cons on the original Switch Gen 1 console were horrendous. Mine developed stick drift twice over the course of 4 years, and I even had to get them repaired for free by Nintendo.

Thankfully, with the Switch 2 console, the Joy-Cons have been significantly improved. I still prefer gaming on a chunkier pad-style controller, personally, and love the tactile feel you get with some of the best Switch 2 Joy-Con alternatives.

Also on the topic of Joy-Cons, did you know you can 3D print your own Joy-Con cover grips (designed by PaoloBoniDesign via MakerWorld) for the Switch 2?

I used my Bambu Lab machines to print 2 Joy-Con covers, one in green PLA Luigi-style, and another in Frost Blue TPU (squishy material) with little mascots on top to represent iconic Mario Kart battles.

Take a look at the video I made below to see the process.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is getting a $50 price hike on September 1, 2026, rising to $499. This increase stems from the global AI boom, which has triggered severe component shortages and inflated manufacturing costs. With supplier contracts expiring, Nintendo must absorb these higher expenses. This means while we might not see any mega discounts during Prime this year, any small savings will undoubtedly make the console the lowest price we'll see it for a while.

If you haven't yet got a Nintendo Switch 2, it's not too late to invest and completely change your gaming outlook. That's what just happened to our Digital Art and 3D editor, Ian. He loves gaming but never really 'got' Nintendo. That changed recently when he got a Switch 2 for his birthday. Read all about it here.

• I bought a Switch 2 a year late, and now I finally understand Nintendo

Even if there aren't many console deals this Prime Week, it's an excellent time to stock up on games and accessories. We'll be covering both here. And here are some game deals to get you started...

• Up to 50% off Nintendo Switch games at Amazon

The Switch 2 price hike explained...

I know we briefly touched on the Switch 2 price hike below, but it's actually quite important and relevant to Prime Day 2026 to understand how this will affect shoppers. What seems like a mere £20 saving today could actually be a £70 saving after September. Let me explain.

Essentially – in September, the Switch 2 will be rising in price. This is NOT a prediction or mere speculation, this is fact. It has been confirmed by Nintendo that the console will rise to $499.99 in the US (a $50 increase), as well as $679.99 in Canada, and you can expect to spend €499.99 in Europe.

As for the UK, the exact Switch 2 price hasn't been confirmed yet, but the console could be priced as high as £450 if going by patterns in other regions. See our guide to everything we know about the Switch 2 price hike for more details.

Let's talk Pokopia bundles!

For anyone wanting a copy of this Animal Crossing meets Pokémon cosy game, one of the best deals right now is roughly £28 off in the UK with a "bundle" offer from Amazon.

It's important to note that this isn't an "official" Pokopia bundle, as the real Switch 2 Pokopia bundle (which comes in a promotional box) isn't releasing until July 2nd.

Then what is this deal? Product-wise, the exact same thing. But essentially, Amazon will be shipping you two different items, the Switch 2 and a copy of Pokopia, together as a "bundle" at a reduced price. Nintendo's version includes a Standard Switch 2 console (no fancy designs, sadly) with a full game download code for Pokémon Pokopia.

I would say – if you want the Pokopia cardboard console box - get the Nintendo Bundle (£429.99), or if you want an actual game box and cartridge for Pokopia, get the Amazon bundle, and don't wait until July 2nd. These are the ONLY differences.

UK deal

Save 6% (£28.08)

Nintendo Switch 2 + Pokémon Pokopia: was £455.98 now £427.90 at Amazon

This is a good bundle deal when you consider that the Switch 2 alone (no game) typically costs £395.99, and Pokopia retails at £59.99, equalling £455.98. This means you're saving approximately £28 versus buying both products separately - which is decent!

Here come the game deals! Trickling in slowly, we finally have some discounts on Nintendo Switch 2 games, with up to 30% off over at Amazon in both the US and UK. I've got 3 for you to get stuck into below.

* Note that Switch 2-enhanced games cannot be played on Switch Gen 1 consoles (including OLED and Lite).

Our reviews editor recently tested the GameSir G7 Pro 8K PC controller, and while this might not be a Nintendo Switch controller specifically, it is 20% off right now. Over at Gamesir's website, you can bag it for $89.99 in the US and £99.99 in the UK,

BUT if you use the discount code MIDYEARSALE, UK buyers can save £19.99, bringing the price down to £80, and US shoppers will knock $17.99 off the sticker price, taking it down to $72. You can thank us (specifically Erlingur) later (^_~) 🎮

Want to see a cool thing I did with my laser engraver???

The only answer is yes. So here ya go.

We're getting so close to the official Prime Day kickoff here in the UK!

I'm hoping we get to see some more game deals drop as well as a cheeky Switch 2 bundle discount, but only time will tell.

I'll be signing off for the night soon folks, but the CB team is here bright and early tomorrow to begin a day of Switch deals hunting. On a last-minute check, all of our deals at the top of the page (under the Quick links section) all appear to be correct, so fingers crossed we don't see any price hikes during the early hours.

Until tomorrow!

Morning! We're back looking for the best deals on Nintendo Switch consoles, games and accessories. I haven't had my coffee yet, so give me a minute and I'll search the interwebs to see what I can find...

So, one thing that I think people may still not know is about the price hike... yeah, this is not exactly a deal, I know. But pretty essential information that may sway whether you get a Switch now over waiting for Black Friday.

The long and short of it is that there's going to be a price hike on the Switch 2 in September. Nintendo has now confirmed that the console will rise from $449 to $499.99 in the US, up to $679.99 in Canada, and €499.99 in Europe.

The Switch 2 will also definitely increase in the UK, but the exact price hasn't been confirmed, though some murmurs have it as high as £450.

Why am I telling you this on a blog about Switch deals? Well, as you'll know, the other massive retail event of the year is Black Friday, in November.

TL;DR version: now is probably your best bet to get the lowest price on the Switch 2 in 2026.

Best Switch 2 deal right now: £395.00 £369.95 over at JoyBuy

So, the deals that are laid out in the top of this page are all still live – and the best I can find this fine English morn...

However, there's some fun new options when it comes to games. Here's what I've found:

Switch 2 games:

EA SPORTS FC 26: £45 £21

Pokémon Pokopia: £60 £57

STAR WARS Outlaws (Gold Edition): £45 £43.57

Switch 1 games:

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD: £50 £40

Animal Crossing: New Horizons: £50 £37

Super Mario Bros. Wonder: £50 £37

Minecraft: £25 £20

Have you thought about getting a refurbished Switch console? With Prime Week officially started today, there's a brand new deal on a refurbished Switch Lite. Here are the details:

Nintendo Switch Lite (Refurbished - Excellent) £199.99 now £139.99 at Amazon

One of the best things about this deal is it's on the turquoise version of the Lite. I love it. Excellent condition is also a bonus, meaning the cosmetic standard is very high.

Here's another refurbished console deal for you, this time from Back Market...

Nintendo Switch (Refurbished - Good) £269.99 £149

Now, this product comes with a 12-month refurbisher warranty, a 30-day return period to change your mind, and free standard delivery.

You can save even more on this console with a Back Market trade-in of your old device.

Aaaaaand, I've just found a refurbished deal on the ever-popular OLED model:

Nintendo Switch OLED (Refurbished - Excellent) £314.99 £195 at Back Market

The first generation of the OLED console has 64GB of storage and has been rated in excellent condition.

OK, so this is how things are with Switch 2 deals in the UK.

Over at Woot, the Switch 2 console was down from $449 to $399, and it's sold out.

Over at Amazon the 2 is selling for £369.95, and that's been the case for the last 24 hours.

Then over at Joybuy it's down from £395 to £369.95 (with free delivery).

Unfortunately the deal at Woot, which through a combination of discounts and extra vouchers brought the Switch 2 down to a record-low price, has sold out. But we'll be on the lookout to see if it comes back later on in the sales event!

The game remake on everyone's lips is reduced for Prime Day. Starfox has got a $10 discount before it's even been released!

• Starfox: $59.99 $49.94 at Amazon

On Amazon Prime Week it isn't just Amazon that has great deals. All the retailers step up to compete. We recommend the following:

Amazon Prime Day 2026 is officially running from June 23rd to June 26th. While Amazon dominates the headlines, several major UK high street and online retailers are launching their own "Prime-adjacent" or "anti-Prime Day" sales to capture shoppers who don't want to buy a Prime membership.

The main UK retailers running competing sales include:

1. Currys

As always, Currys matches Amazon on major tech, laptops, smart TVs, and home appliances. They typically run their own heavy discount events (often labeled as "Epic Deals" or flash tech sales) directly aligned with Amazon's dates so buyers can bypass the Prime paywall.

2. Argos (Sainsbury's)

Argos is heavily running clearance and price-match promotions across major tech, gaming (like the PS5), toys (LEGO), and small kitchen appliances (Ninja and Tefal). Their fast, same-day click-and-collect or home delivery serves as a direct counter-weight to Amazon’s delivery ecosystem.

3. Very.co.uk

Very is well known for hosting its "Hot Pink Deals" or mid-summer flash sales around Prime Day. They offer massive discounts on home electronics, gaming consoles, fashion, and beauty products.

4. John Lewis

John Lewis traditionally doesn't let Amazon win on premium tech and household goods. They consistently lower prices on Apple products, premium audio (Bose, Sony), and major home appliances to match Amazon’s pricing, backed by their own standard product guarantees.

5. Joybuy (JD.com)

A major new player to watch in the UK is Joybuy (launched by Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com). They have been aggressively expanding in the UK with their "double 11" fast-delivery policy (same-day or next-day delivery depending on when you order) and are utilizing deep promotional discounting to directly challenge Amazon's UK market share.

6. Brand-Direct Retailers

Many of the manufacturers featured heavily on Amazon are also running concurrent sales directly on their own UK sites, often cutting out the middleman entirely:

Shark & Ninja: Running their own "New Season, New Savings" events with up to 25%–35% off vacuum cleaners, air fryers, and outdoor grills.

Dyson: Offering direct savings on hair care tech (like the Airstrait), air treatment fans, and cordless vacuums.

Oodie: Slashing up to 40% off selected styles on their direct storefront.

And in the US...

1. Walmart: "Walmart Summer Deals"

Dates: June 22 – June 28 (Started a day early and runs longer than Amazon)

What to look for: Walmart is going after Amazon across almost every major category. Expect deep discounts on floor care (Dyson and Shark vacuums), Apple accessories (AirPods, Apple Watches), budget-to-midrange QLED TVs, toys (LEGO), and summer outdoor/patio gear.

2. Best Buy: "Tech Fest"

Dates: June 22 – June 28

What to look for: This is Amazon’s fiercest competitor for electronics. Best Buy is slashing up to $650 off the new 2026 Copilot+ PCs, alongside massive price drops on Apple MacBooks, iPads, Sony/Bose noise-canceling headphones, and 4K TVs. They frequently price-match Amazon down to the exact penny but often have better stock on older or open-box tech.

3. Target: "Target Circle Deal Days"

Dates: June 23 – June 26 (Perfect overlap with Prime Day)

What to look for: Target is focusing heavily on kitchen gadgets (specifically Ninja, Keurig, and KitchenAid), apparel, home decor, and back-to-school essentials. While it requires a Target Circle account to access the deals, the membership is completely free, unlike Amazon Prime.

One of the best bundles is the Nintendo Switch 2 "Choose Your Game" Bundle is currently discounted to $499 (£430). Perfect for on-the-go artistic inspiration or a quick studio break, this bundle packages the upgraded console with a major title of your choice, including Mario Kart World or Pokémon Pokopia. Secure yours before stock runs dry during this four-day sale event.

How about a renewed OLED? Renewed consoles are in as-good-as-new condition at a fraction of the price. Here's one at Amazon.

• Nintendo Switch OLED (renewed): $289 at Amazon

Get your summer vibes on with Mario Tennis Fever (Nintendo Switch 2). It's down from $69 to $49.

• HORI Nintendo Switch Split Pad Compact: $44.16 $37.49 at Amazon

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is currently on sale for $40. For UI/UX and game designers, this remastered classic serves as a brilliant case study in platforming pacing, player flow, and environmental storytelling!

Hello deal hunters! This is Rosie Hilder here, checking in to find you the best Nintendo Switch deals this Prime Day. I've been covering this event for more years than I care to remember (I think it might be eight?) so I know a good deal when I see one.

One of the best offers available is from Amazon itself, who are offering a 'Choose your Game' bundle, where you get a Nintendo Switch 2 plus a game of your choice. The offer includes Mario Galaxy 1&2, Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World, and there are also options to get a controller or case included too. The standalone console costs $449 and the price is rising to $499 in September, so this is one of your last chances to grab a bargain.

Hey you! Yeah you! Did you know that we now have active comments on all our articles? And that includes this Switch live blog.

If you want us to cover something that we haven't, or even if you want to see more of something, then the best way to get your voice heard is to pop down to the comments section of this page and tell us.

We look forward to hearing from you!

While we're on the comments section, can you share with us the best Super Mario cosplay that you've seen?

I remember going to Kapow! comic con (2011, I think), and seeing a particularly great Mario. The secret was in his moustache. I could stare at that thing for days... ANY WAY!

This just in... photographic evidence that both the Super Mario Bros are ardent Nintendo Switch gamers. They love it. Play together. Though not in the traditional way... bless them.

Hello hello, it's ya boi Erlingur the friendly tech reviews editor. I'll be taking over for the next couple of hours on our ongoing quest to find a Nintendo Switch deal to rule them all.

My first question every time we do a Switch blog is "can I get Duck Hunt on Switch yet?"

And unfortunately, the answer is still no.

HOWEVER.

I have found a downloadable game called Duck Hunting Challenge on the Nintendo eShop, and it's only £8.99. No Prime Day discount needed for a price that good...

Right, while I track down some new deals, please watch this sensational Super Mario sketch from SNL UK, starring George Fouracres and Aimee Lou Wood.

Trust me, you'll be telling your grandchildren this was the Super Mario Galaxy movie.

Watch On

A lot of people buy the Switch because of its easy portability. But taking it out and about comes with perils. Most perilously, the peril of running out of battery.

That's why I've tracked down a Prime Day deal on a portable charger from Belkin that's perfect to peril-proof your Switch journeys.

The Belkin Portable Charger is a USB-C power bank with a 10,000 mAh capacity, and kitted with 2 USB-A Ports and is stocked with a USB-C to USB-A cable. The charging speed is 15W, which is enough to keep you running when the battery gets perilously low, and the price is the kicker:

It was $29.99. Now it's $21.24.

I love me a unique-looking controller, no matter the platform. I recently raved about the Aimlabs edition of the GameSir G7 Pro 8K for my PC, but if I were to buy a Switch gamepad right now, it would be this absolute beauty from 8BitDo.

The 8BitDo Lite 2 Bluetooth controller looks gorgeous, especially in the turquoise (a near-equally fetching pink is available, and it only gets more attractive when you look at the price.

Normally $34.99, 8BitDo have clearly hit their head because it's only $20.59 now. That's a 41% discount, ladies and gentleworms.

I mean, just look at it. LOOK AT IT.

My heart.

Metroid Prime is discounted. I repeat: Metroid Prime is discounted.

You can get a Prime Day deal on the Primiest Prime game of all prime. Time. Sorry. Of all time.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is usually a finance-wrecking $69.99.

BUT NOW.

It's only $44.99.

That's 36% off.

Now say I don't do anything for you.

I'm a big fan of breaking down preconceptions around body stereotypes. Which is why I hereby officially endorse our chubby adorable lil' Super Mario playing tennis in MARIO TENNIS FEVER.

Plus, this game, which is usually $69.99 (that's thirteen trips to my local tennis court's worth), is Prime Day Deal'd all the way down to $49.99 on Amazon today (that's just under ten trips to my local tennis court's worth).

Do you like video games? Of course you do. Do you like cats? Of course you do. So you'll love this deal. Stray was one of the most critically acclaimed games of 2022, and right now it's 34% off at Amazon, down from £34.99 to £22.95.

Remember Ole Martin Hafsmo's 2007 Norwegian snowboard film 'Switch'? Me neither, but it has a rating of 3.2 on Letterboxd so maybe it's worth checking out. Anyway, deals...

Arguably one of the best Switch 2 games is Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. When the game was announced last year, we were impressed with the art style, based on "strong artistic choices rather than chasing photo realism". And right now, it's 50% off at Amazon, down from $59.99 to $29.99.

A quick recap of the best Amazon Prime Day Switch game deals.

Amazon has Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for Nintendo for Switch 2 for $69.99 $44.99 and the version for the original Switch for $59.99 $29.99

Also for Switch 2, there's Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom for $79.99 $59.99 and Kirby Air Riders for $69.99 $49.99

I've been covering both Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday since 2020, and I don't think I've ever seen either sale not have a steep discount on the latest edition of the ever-enduring Just Dance series for Nintendo Switch.

This Prime Day, you can save $30 on the 2026 edition of the dance game, which features 40 tracks including Houdini by Dua Lipa, Counting Stars by OneRepublic and Hung Up by Madonna.

• Just Dance 2026 for Nintendo Switch: $49.99 $19.99 at Amazon US
• Just Dance 2026 for Nintendo Switch: £27.99 £23.74 at Amazon UK

Remember that for official Prime Day deals like that discount on Just Dance 2026 for Nintendo Switch, you'll need to be a Prime member. It's easy to sign up for a free 30-day trial to take advantage of this week's sale, and you can always cancel before the trial ends if you decide you don't want to continue the subscription for the other benefits, such as Prime Video and Amazon Music. Find our more on the website.

More Prime Day Nintendo Switch game deals

• Star Fox (Switch 2): $59.99 $49.94 at Amazon
• Pokemon Legends: Z-A (Switch 2): $69.99 $44.99 at Amazon
• Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade: $39.99 $32.99 at Amazon

Note that that those Prime Day Switch game deals include a decent saving on the brand new game Star Fox, which isn't released for another two days until Thursday 25 June.

At first, the price for the physical game doesn't show on Amazon, but when I add it to my cart, it shows at $49.94, which is the price of the digital version and just over $10 off Nintendo's MSRP of $59.99 for the physical edition.

In our original Star Wars Outlaws review, we called the game a "flawed but enjoyably roguish heist epic". I wouldn't have bought it at full price, but the Nintendo Switch 2 Gold Edition is reduced to $34.99, and includes the post-launch DLC and balance adjustments that fixed some of the main problems with the original release, which I'd say is worth it to experience the beautifully designed world and engaging syndicate system.

• Star Wars Outlaws Gold Edition: $59.99 $34.99 at Amazon

Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance is a great starting point if you're new to the series and want to dive in before the upcoming Persona 6. You can play the original game and explore new dungeons, and it's great value at this Prime Day price.

• Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance: $59.99 $24.90 at Amazon

Another great value Prime Day Switch game deal is Square Enix's Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest 2 remakes with new story segments, revamped battle system and optional challenges. Both the Switch and Switch 2 versions are reduced by to $39.99.

• Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest 2: $59.99 $39.99 at Amazon

I'm taking a break from the live updates for tonight but can confirm that the deals above all remain live at the time of writing. Join us again tomorrow as we continue to track the best Nintendo Switch Prime Day deals. Good night!

Good morning! We're back on the hunt for all things Switch... I'm just going to make sure that all the featured deals above are still live, and edit any that have run their course. If they've got better, I'll be back here to tell you all about it. Watch this space!

I'm going to give it to you straight, like a pear cider made from 100% pear... all the UK deals are still live, but they hardly inspire!

In fact the previous best deal on the Switch 2 console, that was £359, has moved back to £369 (down from £395) over at Joybuy.

After covering Switch deals for the last 72 hours straight, this is as we expected, unfortunately. However, not all is lost. From my experience, there might might be better deals to come this week (remember Prime Day is from Tuesday to Friday this week), so stay tuned!

Switch games have remained a strong pull this Prime Week. While the consoles have enjoyed modest discounts of £10/£20 off, we've seen games for both consoles with up to 50% off.

Here are my current highlights for Nintendo Switch game deals (Switch 1 & 2):

• Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom (Switch 2): $79.99 $59.99
• Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Standard (Switch 1): $59.99 $39.98
• Star Fox (Switch 2): $59.99 $49.94 at Amazon

Amazon for the win! If you've got your brand new shiny Switch console, you'll be wanting a case to keep it nice and safe. Luckily Amazon offer a super cheap option that does the job. It's not on sale, but at less than $9, it doesn't have to be!

The Amazon Basics Switch Case: $8.17 at Amazon

OK, things took a turn for the worst there for a second, and many of the deals that were coming back seemed to disappear (or at least change to less of a discount).

I've now updated the top of this page, but it should be clear – maybe right this second isn't the best time to buy a Switch console! I think Amazon is rejigging its prices, probably getting ready to reduce them again for when the US wake up.

This shouldn't make any difference to the UK prices, but they seemed to shift as well...

Watch this space!

Hiya! This is Georgia taking over for the next stint of this Nintendo Switch live blog. I'll go check out the situation and be right back.

Everyone around the UK is saying the same thing today, It's bloomin hot. Far too hot, in fact. But is it too hot for coffee? Absolutely not. My Mario flask is one of my most favourite things I own, and coffee is getting me through Switch deals hunting. I'm going to double check all of the deals we have pinned at the top of the blog are still live and I'll be back shortly with an update.

Alrighty, everything looks Princess Peachy after an update, and I've added a few "Editor's picks" deals littered about to help you determine the top deals this Prime Week.

Editor's Pick

Save 47% (£125.99)

backmarket Nintendo Switch Gen 1 (Refurbished - Good): was £269.99 now £144 at Back Market UK

Back Market is a great choice for shopping refurbished tech and games consoles this Prime Day at affordable prices. Each product comes with a 12-month warranty, a 30-day return period to change your mind, free standard delivery, customer support, and instalment plans for paying over time.

The best part? You can save even more with a Back Market trade-in of your old device.

What are your favourite Nintendo Switch accessories? Mine is the Piranha Plant camera made by Hori, which I bought purely because I thought it would look great on my desk. I can't attest to its performance yet, as I haven't actually used it. But it's also on sale for Prime Day!

Accessory

Save 34% (£12.04)

Nintendo Piranha Plant Camera for Switch 2: was £34.99 now £22.95 at Amazon

This third-party Nintendo Switch 2 camera from HORI is one of the coolest accessories you can get for the Switch 2. I love that there's also the option to attach it directly to the console if you need to, instead of using its plant pot as a separate base.

Not Nintendo Switch (or as yet unconfirmed) but the big gaming news hitting our desks is that we've had a confirmed price for GTA 6. It'll be $79.99 for the Standard version, and $99.99 for the Ultimate.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition has just been given a really nice discount. This is your chance to Live as a Pokémon Trainer and help protect the peace in Lumiose City!

• Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: $69.99 $44.99 at Amazon

I remember days when the OLED console would get some actual discounts. But for now you'll have to make do with minor price cuts... or a refurbished model.

Hey folks, it's Natalie. Join me as I scour the internet for the best Switch deals (and expect some general yapping about Nintendo along the way).

Switch deals tend to be small but mighty, so bundles are where it's at this year. I'm gonna go ahead and recommend this Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle for $499 at Amazon. With a choice between Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia, it's a fair deal for Nintendo's latest console.

Have you played Pokémon Pokopia? The adorable cosy life sim is the perfect way to unwind after a long day – think Animal Crossing with more adventure and less debt.

If you haven't tried it, you can bag it for £57.95 at Amazon this Prime Day. Admittedly, it's only a £2 saving, but it's better than nothing at all (and worth it for the cute pocket monster pals you'll encounter). You can also save £28 on this Nintendo Switch 2 + Pokémon Pokopia bundle:now £427.90 at Amazon – a small but fair saving for those after the latest console.

This year's Prime deals aren't as fruitful as we might've liked, but if you're in the UK, this steal is worth the snag. You can now get the Nintendo Switch 2: was £385 for £359.95 at joybuy.co.uk (a whole £10 cheaper than Amazon's deal).

You may not have heard of it before, but Joybuy has been certified by our team as a 100% safe retailer – find out more here. With the dreaded Switch 2 price hike keeping things pretty pricey, I'd say this is a good offer if you're after a brand new Switch 2.

While Switch console deals might not be the hottest, this Prime Day might be the perfect opportunity to stock up on accessories. If, like me, you're not the biggest fan of the humble Joy-Cons when it comes to longer gaming sessions, you can snag the officially licensed PDP Gaming Afterglow Wave Wireless Pro Controller for $28.49 at Amazon – that's a handsome 53% off. It makes for a much more comfortable solo gaming session, and with 20 hours of play and built-in motion controls, it makes for a wonderfully immersive game experience.

Morning all in the UK! If you've read this live blog at all over the last few days, you'll know the score – Prime Day has seen some modest deals on the main Switch and Switch 2 consoles and some massive discounts on games for both.

But for me, the main Switch Prime Day deals have been on professionally refurbished consoles. Updating the first half of this page today, that's the main thing that jumped out – everything is the same as yesterday, apart from a couple of refurbished deals are better today.

The main one for me is this: Switch Gen 1 (Refurbished - excellent): $329.98 $216 at Amazon

It was $230 yesterday, so it's a rare example of a deal getting better into Prime Week (it's been rough so far!)

Attention Switch gamers!

Have you ever tried gaming glasses? I think they're the most underrated travel hack ever for long haul flights, thanks to the 201-inch private cinema that they create. I've been testing out the Batman Justice edition of the RayNeo Air 4 pro specs with my Nintendo Switch 2, and they're on sale for Prime Day too. Check out my write up for all the details.

Here we are! The last day of Amazon Prime Week, and this is where we stand: The deals haven't changed much from yesterday, and that's good news if you want Switch games for a song... not so much if you want a new Switch console.

There are a few bob here are there, but the biggest savings are on renewed consoles. I didn't use to talk about renewed stuff on these blogs... but nowadays the guarantees that they come with are pretty sweet. And often you're just buying promotional model, or something that's been returned, fixed to a high standard, and then put on sale again.

Any way, I'll update this page as and when I hear of any more great Switch deals...
