The best Nintendo Switch deals from October’s Prime Day are still available: Last chance before Black Friday

The Nintendo Switch is a popular gaming console, and there’s a reason why. You can seamlessly switch between on-the-go handheld mode and a traditional unit connected to your TV, eliminating the need to keep track of multiple consoles or game libraries when you want to enjoy on-the-go. Additionally, the OLED version offers better contrast, color, and detail in handheld mode, allowing you to enjoy your favorite games even more.

Also: Best Prime Day sale ever

Nintendo isn’t big on discounts on its consoles and games, but if you’re patient and do a little research you can find some great deals. The Prime Big Deal Days sale has ended, but there are still big discounts on games and accessories, console bundles that include digital game codes and Nintendo Online memberships, and more. And since Nintendo is generally stingy with discounts, this may be your last chance to save until Black Friday.

When is Amazon Prime Big Deal Day in 2024?

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, also known as Prime Day 2 or October Prime Day, took place from October 8th to 9th. However, you can find great deals on game, controller, and console bundles not only on Amazon but also at other retailers like Best Buy and Walmart.

Will Nintendo’s consoles and games really be cheaper on Prime Day?

You might have to wait until the holiday shopping season to see discounts on the Switch console, but you might find deals on accessories like extra controllers and Switch games. Prices and discounts for games can vary between physical and digital versions, so be sure to double-check to make sure you’re getting the best deal.

How did we choose these Prime Day deals?

Nintendo sales, coupons, and sales are extremely rare, so we made sure to include all the discounted consoles, accessories, and games available. I chose accessories that are manufactured and sold directly by Nintendo or are officially licensed to work with Switch/Switch OLED. We’ve also selected games with positive critic and player reviews to help both new and experienced gamers find quality titles to add to their libraries.
