Prime Day (or Big Deal Days) kicks off tomorrow (7–8 October), and Nintendo Switch deals are already heating up.

A whole range of games is already discounted ahead of the event, and it's worth watching out to see if they drop any lower.

This October, I’m expecting more Nintendo-related discounts than we saw last year. Look out for solid deals on the original Nintendo Switch and the Switch Lite, and there’s even a good chance we’ll see price cuts on the OLED model. Don’t count on any Switch 2 discounts though – it’s still too new and too popular.

If you’re thinking of stocking up on games or grabbing a second console, now’s a smart time to do it. The OLED model, in particular, remains a great buy.

Nintendo Switch Prime Day deals

So far there are no console deals to be found, but there are some excellent early Prime deals on games.

Last year, we saw some awesome Nintendo Switch game discounts, with up to 60% off brilliant titles, and we've started off very well this year already. See my favourites below:

Official Nintendo accessories may not be treated to any major reductions but third-party kit is often part of the Prime Day action, and indeed already have some discounts.

I've popped a few deals below that might be worth looking at now. But keep checking back on this page for more Nintendo Switch Prime Day offers as things heat up.

Not the lowest price ever but not terribly far off, 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.

SEGA Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020: was $59.99 now $29.99 at Amazon

A half price Mario game? And Sonic too? Yes please. This is a fan favourite, and even though it's the 2020 Olympics it doesn't really matter. It's an action-packed game – you can play Skateboarding, Karate, Surfing, and Sport Climbing.

It has been as low as $24.99 so might be worth holding off for a better price, but if you're wanting something to play now then this is a great option.

When is Prime Day?

October Prime Day, or Big Deal Days, is 7-8 October. Expect deals in all regions, with Nintendo at the centre of some of the most hotly anticipated offers.

Will there be Nintendo Switch Prime Day offers?

There are almost always decent offers to had, though true bargains are rare on consoles. Games are subject to brilliant discounts across different retailers during this time, as are accessories.

I expect there will be some small offers on Nintendo Switch Lite and OLED, bigger discounts on Nintendo Switch 1 – but no reductions on the Switch 2 unfortunately.
