Amazon Prime Day 2019 is finally here, and with it comes yet another opportunity to save some money and pick up all kinds of things–blenders, baby products, toilet paper probably, and video games–including titles from Nintendo. Whether you’re looking to pick up your first Nintendo Switch, have a specific game in mind, or are just curious what kind of discounts will actually be available, you’ve come to the right place.
Amazon’s biggest competitors are getting in on the deals action by throwing their own anti-Prime Day sales, including Walmart, Target, and GameStop, to name just a few. All that competition can only benefit shoppers, as Prime Day has gradually become the equivalent of Black Friday in the summer with record-low discounts on high-cost items (like game consoles). Even though the Nintendo Switch sells for $300, a lower price point than the Xbox One or PS4, its games and accessories get quite pricey, with Switch Pro controllers selling for $70 and first-party titles often remaining at $60 long after launch. That’s why finding good deals on Switch products is even more exciting, and Prime Day is likely your best chance to find a ton of Switch discounts until Black Friday.
Prime Day and its surrounding sales flurry comes can be overwhelming, so we’re here to help make the experience a bit less stressful. Here are the best Nintendo Switch deals for Prime Day available now.
Best Nintendo Switch game deals
From Prime Day itself to GameStop’s huge Summer Sale and Ebay’s Hot Deals for Hot Days, there are plenty of Nintendo Switch game discounts floating around. Check out some of the great game deals you can snag now below.
Best Nintendo Switch console deals
Everyone’s still buzzing about the announcement of a new $200 Switch model, the Switch Lite, but with it releasing in September, we wouldn’t count on it getting discounted any time soon. If you’re in the market for a Switch, your best bet is to grab the OG model during Prime Day.
While the console itself is yet to drop below $300, we’ve seen some solid console bundles available. One of the best options is currently at Walmart, where you can get a Nintendo Switch, first-party Nintendo game, and bonus accessory of your choice for $329. The games to choose from include Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Party, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Splatoon 2. There are a few accessories to choose from, including a portable power bank for the Switch.
Amazon just posted its first Nintendo Switch bundle deal, and it’s a good one if you prefer to buy digitally: You can get the console and $35 Eshop credit for $300, which means the Eshop credit is just an added bonus with your purchase. At GameStop, you’ll get a free Starlink: Battle for Atlas starter pack when you purchase a Switch. Plus, you can get a bundle with the console, Crash Team Racing, and a Switch steering wheel two-pack for $300 at Ebay, if that’s something you’re into.
Assuming you’re looking to buy both a Nintendo Switch and Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, Google Express has the deal for you: Both consoles are currently bundled together for $400 (with $44 slashed off in checkout when you use promo code GOTURE), which is a total of $150 in savings. This might be one of the craziest deals we’ve seen yet this Prime Day–but we’ll take it.
Best Nintendo Switch accessory deals
As we said earlier, Switch accessories are almost as notoriously expensive as the games themselves. But if the Switch is your primary gaming system, it definitely doesn’t hurt to invest in at least a few essentials: a Pro controller, a hard-shell travel case, a microSD memory card, etc. Here are some of the best accessory deals available now.
