LIVE: Nintendo Switch Prime Day deals are going fast!
With just hours left, we're tracking the best offers on Switch games, accessories and consoles, including Switch 2.
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.

This is a renewed Nintendo Switch OLED model which comes with white Joy-Con. It might not be new out of the box but that doesn't mean you won't get hours of gameplay out of it. It'll cost you 30% more to buy it new.

This offer includes Mario Kart 8 plus a 32GB SD card and costs just $399.87. It comes with Neon blue and red joy-con. This is the lowest price it's been in 30 days, with the lowest price ever $319.99 in April earlier this year.

Not the lowest price ever and this had a dollar or so more off recently, but this microSD card is useful for Switch 1, Lite and OLED. Currently with 22% off, the 256GB is a decent amount of space for holding games so if you're not a power user on the above consoles then this is a good option.

You get 3 games in this trilogy, hence the name, including the OG Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, and Crash Bandicoot Warped (known in Europe as Crash Bandicoot 3), which was released in 1998.

This highly-rated controller is adorned with our favourite guy punching the air. Compatible with Switch 2 and the previous Nintendo Switch consoles, users praise the ease of use and its reliability – as well as its good looks!

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.

This microSD card is useful for Switch 1, Lite and OLED. While it's not technically on sale this is almost the lowest price ever. The 256GB is a decent amount of space for holding games so if you're not a power user on the above consoles then this is a good option.

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.
There are a number of games on offer ahead of Prime Day this year, including Hogwarts Legacy, which is $49.30 down from $59.99, that's am 18% discount.
Get Hogwarts Legacy: was $59.99 now $49.30 at Amazon
Not sure which console to go for? We have a number of guides that might help:
- Nintendo Switch 2 review
- Nintendo Switch vs OLED
- Nintendo Switch 2 vs OLED
- Nintendo Switch vs Lite
Here's an example of how it pays to shop around for Switch 2 deals in the run up to Prime Day.
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.
Considering that these are the two main release showcases, it's a tempting little deal if you don't yet have a Switch 2. But, hold fire because if you create the same bundle yourself at Amazon, you can actually save a little more (and without getting roped into an insurance deal that you might not actually want).
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.
For those hunting for early Prime Day Switch deals in the UK, Amazon has a few more decent savings on games for the Switch 2, including on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (pictured). Here are my picks.
Amazon has no early Prime Day deals on the Switch 2, but it does have some savings on the Switch OLED in both the US and the UK. The newer Switch 2 is more powerful than the OLED, and most people are likely to want to hold out for the new device, but it doesn't have an OLED display, and there's a quite a difference in price (now even bigger with these discounts).
The latest big Switch 2 release is the double header of Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 recompiled for the new console. In the UK, you can grab a free bonus items with orders direct from the Nintendo Store.
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.
Is the Switch 2 really worth it? In our review we gave it 4.5 stars, with the only thing letting it down being poor battery life. We called it an "extraordinary piece of consumer electronics" and "absolutely state-of-the-art". "Buy it," said our reviewer.
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.
I'll be looking out for deals on any of the Switch 2 releases, we've already seen deals on Super Mario Odyssey, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, and even upgraded editions of Zelda titles.
See our 50% off Switch games for Prime Day post - or search Amazon below:
We're focusing on Nintendo Switch Prime Day deals on this blog, but don't rule out alternatives if you're put off by the price of Nintendo's consoles. We've tested and reviewed dozens of retro game consoles, and some of them offer just as much fun as the Switch, if not the power and contemporary graphics.
Check out our comparison of the best retro handheld game consoles for alternatives.
I'm taking a break from live updates for now, but be sure to bookmark this page because we'll be updating it with Switch Prime Day deals throughout Amazon's October sale over the next two days.
For now, you might want to browse Nintendo Switch game deals at Amazon. Also check out our pick of the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories since these are more likely to get discounts than the console itself.
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.
In the past we've seen amazing deals on all of these during Prime Day.
With the main event just hours away, start making a list of your must-haves, because the main rule of sales events is you shouldn't buy anything you don't need anyway.
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.
Let's hope for similar this time!
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.
For example, there are games and accessories on sale at Walmart. They aren't rock bottom prices, but you'll get a nice $10-$35 off many titles. The best one? See below:
- Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition: Was $59.99 now $34.99 at Walmart
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.
The service lets players access online multiplayer in games like Mario Kart and Splatoon. It also includes cloud save backups, so you protect your game data. Subscribers gain access to a library of classic NES and SNES titles, while the upgraded Expansion Pack tier adds Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, and SEGA Genesis games, along with DLC for select titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The service also offers exclusive discounts and occasional free game trials.
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).
I'll update you shortly with what I find, but I'm anticipating some big deals on NIntendo Switch games and accessories too.
Controversial deal?
One of the most exciting new accessories for the Nintendo Switch 2 is this epic-looking Piranha Plant camera designed by Hori. I own one of these but have yet to actually try it out. What makes it controversial? Reports over on Reddit have suggested that this camera, in terms of its image quality, is utter rubbish, and you should opt for the official Nintendo Switch 2 camera instead if you want your pals to actually be able to see you.
The quality is said to be around 480P, and users have compared it to the camera you might have found on a Nintendo 3DS a few years back.
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.

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!
Take a look - the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories
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!).
Read moreRead less▼
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.
If you're not familiar with the Nitro Deck from CRKD, it's one of the best Joy-Con alternatives that you can buy for the Nintendo Switch, and it essentially acts like a dock for your Switch display that slots into the gamepad, making it compatible with the controls on either side. The best part about the Nitro deck is that it boasts ZERO stick drift, thanks to its Hall Effect sensor designs.
You can get the Nitro Deck in different patterns and colours, but the best price is on the model below.
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!
US DEALS
- Psyduck Sleeping Plush: $39.99 now $21.60
- Funko POP! Bulbasaur: $14.99 now $11.99
- Funko Pop! Charmander: $14.99 now $7.49
- MEGA Pokémon Jumbo Eevee: $41.95 now $34.99
UK DEALS
- Monopoly Pokémon Edition: £24.99 now £14.99 (save £10)
- Funko POP! Charizard: £13 now £9.97
- MEGA Pokémon Magikarp Evolution Set: £31.92 now £17.99
Did somebody say Mario Monopoly?
I'm personally not a huge fan of this game, as it takes forever (and I'm really bad at it), but I know that other people love it. So if you're a Mario/Monopoly fan, then don't miss out on this Prime Day deal below for only $10.99, down from $21.99.
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!'
But it turned out to be the RRP. So it shows, don't believe everything you see during these sales events.
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?
The controller itself is brilliant; it's comfortable, precise, and perfect for marathon sessions. So if you were already eyeing one, this is your moment to snag it and feel slightly smug about 'saving' five dollars.
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.
The Switch 2 might be a newer and flashier console, but the OLED still nails that balance of portability and polish. Fundamentally, it also has a games library. If, like me, you look at Switch 2's games list and want a little more, but side-eye the OLED's library, then this is a good deal. Plus, you can trade it in later for a Switch 2 when there's more to play.
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.
Now $38.93: Sonic X Shadow Generations feels right at home on the Switch 2. The faster load times, smoother frame rate, and upgraded visuals make both campaigns shine. Shadow’s new powers add real variety, and the handheld screen brings the colour and speed of Sonic’s worlds to life better than ever.
Now $39.99: The award-winning Split Fiction's dual-world concept really pops on the handheld’s vibrant screen, and co-op play is effortless whether you’re docked or on the move. The storytelling feels bold and personal, and the mix of puzzles and action flows naturally thanks to the console’s smooth performance.
Now $92.78: Street Fighter 6: Year 1–2 Fighter Edition feels like a real celebration of the series on Switch 2. Every character, costume, and arena released so far is here, and the action holds up beautifully. Combat feels fluid and fast, the visuals punchy, and the portable play adds a new layer of accessibility.
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.
Looking for something special? These Switch Deluxe and Collector's Editions are reduced for Prime Day.
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.
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
That Amazon Prime Day Switch OLED deal on renewed consoles has climbed back up by $1 to $259.98 as the stock count drops. That means Amazon and Best Buy are now neck-and-neck when it comes to renewed copies of the OLED console in white.
Best Buy has the Switch OLED in white for $259.99 or in red and blue for $269.99.
Going for a renewed Switch gets you a big saving, but if you do want the Switch OLED new, not refurbished, the best price in the US is $375 at Amazon. That's a saving of just $25.
If you already have a Switch 2 and you're looking for just one game to play, it has to be Donkey Kong Bananza. We gave it a rare five-star review and described it as a Nintendo game with Disney storytelling. Graphically, it makes full use of the Switch 2's enhanced performance, while the gameplay is a whole lot of terrain-smashing fun. Nintendo even snuck in Donkey Kong 3D modelling just for the fun of it.
Alas, the only discount we've spotted so far is at Amazon in the UK, where you can get the physical game reduced from £62.51 to £53.99.
I'm a big fan of retro game consoles, but I have to admit I thought Nintendo's announcement of Virtual Boy for Nintendo Switch was a joke when I saw the presentation last month. It seems such a bizarre decision to revive one of Nintendo's biggest flops, but then it's also very Nintendo!
I'm now looking forward to trying it out when it's released in February since I never had the chance the first time around. Worth signing up for a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription? That probably depends on how big a fan you are.
One of the most imminent upcoming releases for the Switch 2 is Bandai Namco Studios' Kirby Air Riders, the sequel to Kirby Air Ride for the GameCube. You can preorder now ahead of the 19 November release date, and those in the UK can claim an exciting bonus gift with their purchase. Order today and you can get... wait for it... a reusable Kirby cup.
I'm not knocking it; the cup could be very useful. It's not like we'll be going out to a cafe after spending at least £58.99 on the game.
As always, there are some teeny weeny deals about on the tiny winy Nintendo Switch Lite. The most portable Switch is reduced from $229.99 to $217.55 in blue and turquoise at Amazon US.That's a saving of 5 per cent.
- Nintendo Switch Lite:
$229.99$217.55 at Amazon
This is how I look after an entire day searching for Switch Prime Day deals, so I'm taking a break from the live updates for today. I can confirm at sign off that the deals listed above are still live. I'll be back tomorrow for more updates. Happy deal hunting!
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.
(On a note only related to the time of day, have you looked at any coffee maker Prime deals this time around? There are some gooduns.)
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?
But there is still hope a couple more juicy ones might pop up so we'll continue!
If you're set on spending less but still want a console, I'd recommend a refurbished model.
A refurbished Nintendo Switch can be a smart choice for gamers looking to save money without sacrificing performance. If from Amazon or Best Buy then they're thoroughly tested, repaired if necessary, and certified to function like new, offering a more affordable alternative to buying brand-new. Refurbished consoles may also come with a limited warranty, giving buyers some peace of mind.
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.
Right now there are some good offers:
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.
There has been a small discount on this title, it's down from $59.99 to $51.99 at Walmart.
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.
- Nintendo JoyCons Neon Purple/Orange: Was $89.99 now $76 at Amazon
- Tempered glass screen protector: Was $7.46 now $5.96 at Amazon
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.
It also includes select DLC, such as for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Additional perks include exclusive discounts and occasional free trials of full games, making it a valuable addition for Nintendo fans.
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.
Remember, we've got a game-specific roundup right here - up to 50% off Nintendo Switch games.
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
Hey folks, staff writer Natalie here, clocking in with some Switch deal snooping for ya.
Currently, there's 27% off the Switch OLED, going for a respectable $275. It might be a renewed model, but it's still a comfy little saving on the original $374.50 price tag.
While the console deals might not be as generous as we'd hoped, there are great savings to be found on games.
Right now, you can bag yourself the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for $19.93 at Walmart. For the cat lovers, get 25% off Stray at Amazon or stick with the classics with New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe for $39.99 (a respectable 33% saving).
If you're already the proud owner of a Switch, it's always a good idea to protect your tech with a carry case. This handy one from Auarte is compatible with all Switch models, featuring space for your charger, Joy Cons and 22 game cartridges. It even features a pass-through port built inside so you can keep your Switch safe while it's recharging.
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.
If you're set on snagging a Switch this Prime Day, check out this renewed Nintendo Switch OLED for $269.95. With a 28% off discount, it's a worthy steal if you're set on getting yourself Nintendo's best console, but don't fancy splashing out on the new Switch 2.
From cases to custom Joy Cons, there are plenty of ways to customise your Switch. Check out our collection of the best Nintendo Switch docks if you need some inspiration. (This BMO one, owned by our ecom writer Beth, is my all-time favourite.)

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.

Nintendo is so amazingly random sometimes. The internet was on fire with speculation yesterday about the meaning of this short animated video of a dancing (and falling) baby that the gaming giant posted on YouTube yesterday with barely any details.
Some people thought the baby was Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy, other thought Nintendo was about to announce a movie to rival Pixar. Now it turns out that it appears to be Pikmin related.
Amazon's Big Deal Days are coming to close and I'll be taking a break from live updates. I've checked the deals listed above, and they're all up to date at the time of writing.
But Amazon has just one Nintendo Switch OLED left in stock at the reduced price of $374.99!
There's also the original Switch for $339.99 $314.99
Happy hunting!
