Hello! Day 2 of Amazon's Prime Day in October is coming to a close, so there's not much time left for a chance to get Switch deals in the sale. To be honest, Prime Day Switch deals have been particularly thin this time around, and good deals have already sold out, but there are still a few good savings around.

We've been tracking prices on consoles, games and accessories, including the new Switch 2. There's still a small discount on a Switch 2 bundle, down from £496 to £489 at Very in the UK. In the US, the best deals are on the OLED model, which is reduced from $399 to $374 at Amazon

Also check out the Prime offers we found on games – there has been up to 50% off at Amazon, and see our Nintendo Switch Prime Day hub as well. We also have a regular guide to Switch 2 prices.

There aren't many deals to come by when it comes to the Nintendo Switch 2, so we'll take what we can get. This deal saves you £7 on a brand new Switch 2 plus Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza and six months' insurance. But note that Amazon has £8.50 off Donkey Kong Bananza so you could build the bundle there for less without the insurance deal.

This isn't actually officially on sale but it's the best price we can find in the UK on the Switch OLED. Elsewhere, Very is offering the same console for £299. This feels like one to grab before it goes.

Hello and welcome to this Nintendo Switch live blog for Prime Day. Over Amazon's Big Deal Days (running Tuesday and Wednesday this week) we'll be bringing out the best offers available on the Switch and accessories and games. Stay tuned for more deals!

Allow me to introduce myself, my name's Rosie Hilder and I've been covering Nintendo Switch deals for more years than I care to remember. Let's see... it's at least eight. So I know what makes a good deal and what's an offer you can firmly skip. See above for more top recommendations or stay with me as I share more top picks.

Donkey Kong Bananza on Nintendo Switch 2

In the UK, Very's selling the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World + Donkey Kong Bananza and 6 months' insurance for £489, which represents a saving of £7 over buying the three items separately.

Amazon has Donkey Kong Bananza on its own (the physical game) reduced from £62.51 to £53.99 for a saving of £8.52 if you click to add the voucher. Add the console + Mario Kart World bundle and the total for the whole package at Amazon is £483.94 – over £5 cheaper than at Very.

There's a choice of either a keyring of a holographic sticker set. Not the most generous of Nintendo considering the package costs £58.99, but the keyring is quite cute.

Hello there deal hunters, how are we doing ahead of tomorrow's big sale event? Are you expecting big deals or holding out for a few pounds or dollars off a game or two? Whatever you're after, we've got you covered.

You might be wondering which Switch console to go for, especially given the new Switch 2 probably won't get many decent discounts.

Well.. I have no hesitation recommending the Switch OLED, especially if you can get it for a good price (anything under $300 is a bargain and between $300 and $325 is worth considering. The Nintendo Switch OLED is still ideal for casual gamers who primarily play in handheld mode and value a vibrant, high-quality screen over cutting-edge performance and speeds (the internals aren't as fast as its successor).

The Switch 2 is designed for more performance-focused users who want smoother gameplay, faster load times, and access to new-generation titles. With its upgraded hardware, 4K support when docked, and future-proof features, it’s best for those who play both docked and handheld, and who want to stay current with Nintendo’s latest and most demanding releases.

We've already seen some decent discounts on Switch games – of up to 50% off. But I fully expect those to improve as the sales event gets underway tomorrow.

Prime Day’s the perfect time to invest in your Nintendo Switch setup. Want smoother gameplay? Snag a deal on a pro-style controller. Tired of thumb cramps? Look out for ergonomic grips that actually fit human hands. Screen protectors and hard-shell cases? Non-negotiable if you ever leave the house. And don’t sleep on charging accessories or microSD cards – because nothing kills the vibe like running out of juice or space mid-Mario Kart.

Often you'll find a fairly decent bundle deal is the staple of these sales events. This means you'll find a standout game like Mario Kart thrown in with a console, and often that combination will be cheaper than if the console was standalone. One of the best I've seen was the Nintendo Switch OLED with a game for $275 – and that was last Prime Day.

Of course, it isn't only Amazon that has a sale this week. Best Buy and Walmart also have major tech sales going on all week.

A Nintendo Online subscription is often thrown in for free with these deals, which is ace news for gamers who love trying new games but also want a hit of nostalgia.

Good morning gamers! We're officially in the midst of October Prime Day and I'm kicking off my shift hunting for the top Nintendo deals so that you don't have to (you're welcome).

Controversial deal?

As far as the price, the Hori Piranha plant camera RRP was originally £35.99 / $44 when it launched a few months back, so this deal saves you a fair bit of money. I'd buy it purely for its fun design and novelty personally, but the choice is yours if you decide to take the risk on image quality.

HORI Nintendo Switch 2 Piranha Plant Camera
Save 25%
HORI Nintendo Switch 2 Piranha Plant Camera: was £34.99 now £26.38 at Amazon
Read moreRead less

This third-party Nintendo Switch 2 camera from HORI is actually cheaper than Nintendo's own official offering (£49.99 / $49.99) and looks so much cooler.

<p>I also love that there's the option to attach it directly to the Switch 2 if you need, instead of using its plant pot as a separate base.

Speaking of Nintendo Switch accessories, have you seen our dedicated guide to the best ones you can get right now for the Switch 2? I've picked out some top choices, including the Piranha plant camera below, plus a GameCube controller, as well as Joy-Con wheels!

If you're looking for deals specifically on Nintendo Switch games this Prime Day, then we've got an entire page dedicated to the best deals we're finding right now. The best deal I can find is over at Walmart, where you can bag the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for only $19.93, down from the usual $39.99 (that's a 50% saving!).

Arguably one of the best video game characters of all time (alongside Mario and Sonic, of course), Crash Bandicoot is the loveable marsupial in this action-adventure game full of epic challenges and remade nostalgia.

If you're still rocking the OG Nintendo Switch console, then I've found a deal on the CRKD Nitro Deck (Limited Edition Retro Purple) with a carry case included for only £42.49 down from £51.99.

Where are my Pokémon fans at? I've found some pretty sweet deals over at Amazon in both the US and UK on some adorable things like Funko Pops, sleeping plushes, and Mega Bloks (a LEGO alternative). Check the links below!

Bringing it back to Pokémon for a second (it's still Nintendo related before you get mad at me) – did you hear about the latest Pokémon X Natural History Museum collab?

It was announced that there will be an exclusive pop-up shop experience coming to the Cranbourne Boutique shop, with exclusive merchandise and products. I love that Pokémon is doing more collabs for fans to experience, although this event has already sold out for now (more tickets will be released in November), and I can't help but feel that it could become another scalper-dominated event just like the Pokémon Van Gogh museum experience was for me.

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the actual Nintendo Switch console, and I'm still keeping my eye out for deals on any bundle offers on the Switch 2, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite models (though to be honest it's not looking too great right now).

When I woke up this morning I saw a big green price on the 'shopping' bar of Google's overview on Switch deals and I thought 'wow there's a deal on Switch 2! This is unprecedented!'

So... I own one of the best 3D printers, and I'm dying to print some cool accessories for my Switch 2 console. This one below is called a GamiFries, and was designed by user7R135 via MakerWorld. You can download it for free, and I'm so tempted to add this to my list of things to print.

One of my favourite games to play on my Nintendo Switch 2 right now is Split Fiction. From the same makers as the mega hit It Takes Two title, this game is perfect for couples and friends, as you help each other navigate fictional worlds in a co-op adventure.

If you're hoping to play it with a friend, only one of you needs to buy the game thanks to Nintendo's game sharing feature. Right now, Split Fiction for the Switch 2 is on sale for only $46 / £28.45 at Amazon, down from the usual $49.99 / £44.99 retail price.

I just spotted a tiny little deal at Walmart that made me smile: the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller is $5 off its regular $89.99 price tag – now $84.95.. Yes, five whole bucks. Enough for a fancy coffee, a snack, or… well, almost nothing else, but hey, every little counts, right?

Switch 2 OLED deal

(Image credit: Nintendo)

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Nintendo Switch OLED; it just feels more refined than many other handhelds. The screen pops with colour, the kickstand actually works, and it’s built like proper hardware should be. Right now, it’s $374.88 with 6% off at Amazon, which makes it an easy recommendation.

Nintendo Switch 2 and Pokemon A-Z deal

(Image credit: Nintendo)

The Nintendo Switch 2 + Pokémon Legends: Z-A bundle is one of those launch deals that actually makes sense. The console alone goes for $449, and Z-A retails at $69.99, but the bundle comes in at $499, effectively saving you around $20.

It’s not just about the discount, though; it’s a perfect pairing. You’re getting the newest Nintendo hardware and one of its biggest exclusives right out of the box, no waiting, no extra spend, just play. And I know I just moaned about a lack of big releases, but, well… here's one, with the console, for a little less.

You can pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2 + Pokémon Legends: Z-A bundle on Amazon now.

Just got a Switch 2 in the sales? Well, below are my three favourite games to play as soon as you unbox, and they're all cheaper today.

Auarte Switch 2 case

I was genuinely surprised by the Auarte Carrying Case for Nintendo Switch 2, not just how clever it is – it charges and protects – but how affordable it feels with 20% off at Amazon. Most Switch 2 accessories are pricey, yet this one bundles protection, storage, and charging in a compact design. For $23.99, it’s the kind of small purchase that makes a big difference, and honestly, I didn’t expect something so smart to come at this price.

Shadow Labyrinth Nintendo Switch Secret Edition – $39.99 (33% saving)
Remember this is the quirky Pac-Man reimagined Metrodvania, based on the Amazon Prime animated anthology, Secret Level.. Packed with exclusive collectibles, digital extras, and the full game, it’s perfect for fans and collectors.

DREDGE Complete Collector's Edition – $76 (24% saving)
The DREDGE Complete Collector's Edition is perfect for fans, combining the full game with an atmospheric soundtrack, exclusive collectibles, and immersive extras that deepen the eerie, fishing-adventure experience.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach - Collector's Edition – $75 (16%)
The classic game is a little janky on Switch, but with exclusive collectibles that enhance the gameplay, including a 12-inch Sun and Moon Daycare Attendant Duo Plush, a Vanny Vinyl Figure, a Mr. Hippo Magnet, a Plush Pin Set, a SteelBook case, a physical copy of the game, a sticker sheet, and a Mega Pizzaplex Box.

Switch renewed

Nintendo Switch OLED (renewed) is one of the best deals today. If you get a refurbished console from a recognised dealer – Nintendo, Amazon, Best Buy, etc – it's a good way to get one of the best game consoles for less. These are the best Switch OLED (renewed) deals:

• Geek Squad Certified Refurbished Switch OLED Model - $259.99

• Nintendo Switch OLED Model - The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Edition - $299.99

• Nintendo Switch OLED with Blue and Red Joy-Con - $279.99

Good morning Prime Day Deals hunters! I'm here this morning to renew our search for Switch deals on the second day of Amazon Prime Day. Walmart and Best Buy also have sales on of course so I'll be scouring their websites as well to report on the best prices on games, accessories, consoles and more. I'll just head to do some research and brb.

Everything out there seems much the same as yesterday. It seems the days of Prime past when deals would change throughout the two days have gone, which is a shame in some ways because, well, it gave us a lot more to talk about didn't it?

If you're set on spending less but still want a console, I'd recommend a refurbished model.

However, the condition can vary, and cosmetic flaws or older hardware versions are possible. Availability may be limited, especially for popular models. Still, for budget-conscious buyers who don’t mind minor wear or missing original packaging, a refurbished Switch can be a practical and reliable option.

So which games are we looking out for? The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is widely regarded as the best Nintendo Switch game. Its vast open world, innovative gameplay mechanics, and breathtaking design revolutionised the action-adventure genre. With endless exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat, it offers unmatched freedom and immersion – and several team members love it.

If you’ve got a Nintendo Switch, a few key accessories make a big difference. A microSD card is a must for storing more games, and a screen protector keeps your screen safe. A good travel case helps if you’re taking it on the go. Pro Controllers or solid third-party ones are way more comfy for longer gaming sessions. Portable chargers and extra cables come in handy too. A better grip or stand is great for handheld or tabletop play. And if you’ve got physical games, a game card case keeps things neat. These upgrades just make everything easier.

Remember, a lot of the deals include the Nintendo Online subscription.

Nintendo Online is often included for free with certain deals, which is great for gamers who enjoy both new and classic titles. The subscription allows access to online multiplayer in games like Mario Kart and Splatoon, plus cloud saves to protect your progress. Subscribers can play a library of classic NES and SNES games, while the Expansion Pack tier adds Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, and SEGA Genesis titles.

If you want to save money, the Nintendo Switch Lite is your best bet. It’s cheaper, more compact, and made for handheld play (no TV output), so great for travel or casual gaming. Alternatively, hunt for good deals on the original Switch – bundles with a game or free online membership give better value.

Wondering what's coming up for Switch games?

If you loved The Legend of Zelda, you’re going to be excited for Tears of the Kingdom — it looks incredible. Also, Pikmin 4 is finally coming, bringing a fun mix of cute critters and strategy. For those into indie games, Hollow Knight: Silksong is ready to challenge you with its cool, tricky gameplay. Plus, rumour has it Mario Kart 9 might be on the way for some epic racing with friends.

If you’re looking for a case for your Nintendo Switch, start by checking which model you have– original, OLED, or Lite – since sizes vary. Then think about how you use it: a slim shell might be enough for playing at home, while a travel case is great if you take it out often. Look for something sturdy, with room for game cards and maybe a charger. Designs range from simple to themed, depending on your style. A screen protector’s also a good idea. It doesn’t have to be fancy, just something that keeps your Switch safe and easy to carry.

How are you doing out there? I'd love to see a surprise price drop round about now

If you're a Nintendo fan, you were likely pretty excited for the Switch 2 announcement. We gave it a whopping 4.5/5 stars in our review – it could've been full marks if not for that short battery life, but we loved the excellent specs, online features, UX and controls.

Switch deals have been looking a bit disappointing this year, but if there's one thing I'd honestly recommend, it's this Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition collection featuring games I-VI. With a juicy 40% off, the set is now $44.99 at Amazon, down from $74.99. Essentially, it's six games in one – I'd say it's bang for your buck.

Good news or bad news? The good news is that Amazon still has a small discount on Donkey Kong Bananza. The bad news is that it isn't as good as it was. The physical game is now reduced to £56.95 while it was £53.99 yesterday and earlier today. It's still slightly cheaper than the digital version, but this could be a sign that you need to be quick to grab any remaining deals you had your eye on.
