LIVE: Nintendo Switch deals are here for Amazon Prime Week, including discounts on games, consoles and accessories
Prime Week officially starts tomorrow, but deals are already as good as they were last Prime Day.
Amazon Prime Day has been around for 11 years now, and we've covered the vast majority of them. There are plenty of things that we've learned along the way that you should know.
One of the most important things to know: we almost never see big discounts on Switch consoles during Prime Day. It's sad, but the truth. So manage your expectations wisely. Right now, the best UK deal is on the Switch 2 Console, which is down from £385 to £370 at Amazon. However, this year is different because the Switch is expected to get a big price hike later in the year – so these prices may well be the lowest we'll see for quite some time.
We love getting to report on savings for things our readers love, but that just isn't the case with Switch consoles, unfortunately. Games and accessories, however, are where we really do see some mega discounts crop up, so stick with us as we cover all things Nintendo and gaming-related this Prime Week.
If you're wondering which Switch console is right for you, see our guide to 7 things you need to know before buying a Nintendo Switch.

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