While it doesn’t seem like you’re saving money here, you’re getting the Switch Lite console with Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which can run as much as $60 online, thrown in for free. This Switch comes in a lovely shade of pink and features the game that got a lot of us through the COVID lockdowns.

Preorders are now open for the Hyrule Edition Switch Lite. While it’s not directly discounted, and is actually $10 more than the standard Switch Lite, nabbing this bundle gets you the Zelda-themed console as well as a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack individual membership worth $40.

Joy-Cons will set you back around $80, which isn’t cheap. A good game can cost as much as $60. Based on that, this little bundle from Target is a pretty good value as it packs in a red-and-blue Joy-Con and the excellent Super Mario Party for $100. It’s a great choice if you’ve not got the game.

The PowerA enhanced controller is built to mimic the feel of the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, and it does a good job of things on that end. Along with having a decent battery life and a rechargeable battery built-in, it also has motion controls and special thumbsticks that prioritize comfort and control.

Memory upgrades might not be the fanciest thing you can buy, but you’ll appreciate them in the long run. This microSD card from Lexar has a massive 1TB capacity, which is enough for a lot of Switch games, and it even has Mario colors.

What should you look for in a Nintendo Switch deal?
In addition to looking for direct price drops on the Nintendo Switch itself, broaden your search to include Nintendo Switch bundles. Since the console alone rarely falls far from its retail price, these are some of the best ways to save on related accessories that you would have bought anyway. When it comes to Nintendo Switch bundles that include a game, it’s a good idea to check what the game costs separately to ensure you’re getting the best value.
When are the best Nintendo Switch deals available?
Great Nintendo Switch deals are rare, but the best times to find a discount are during major sales like Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Which retailers usually offer the best Nintendo Switch deals?
For most people, the search for a great Nintendo Switch deal should start at Amazon or a big-box retailer such as Best Buy, Target or Walmart. These major retailers are most likely to offer direct discounts and bundles, and they often match each other’s deals during major sales. Gaming-specific retailers, including GameStop in the US and Game in the UK, are also worth keeping tabs on.
