Best Nintendo Switch deals: consoles, games, and accessories

Add as a preferred source on Google

There are a lot of great handhelds out there, such as the Steam Deck or the Legion Go, but even so, the Nintendo Switch still holds its position at the top of the pack. A lot of that is not necessarily due to the hardware itself, even though the console is certainly a thin and light, but also because of a great selection of first-party games that almost everybody will find enjoyable. On top of that, you get to choose between three different versions, the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, or Nintendo Switch OLED, so you can pick the one that fits your budget the most.

To that end, we’ve collected some great Nintendo Switch video game deals and accessories deals, so be sure to check those out. Or, if you’d rather have one of the more traditional consoles, check out these game console deals instead.

Best Nintendo Switch deals

The OLED model of the Nintendo Switch doesn’t actually significantly change any of the internals, such as the processor or RAM, so you’re essentially getting the same handheld console. The only difference is that the screen is an OLED one, and if you’re the type of person who would mostly play the Switch in handheld mode, it’s absolutely worth grabbing, even though it’s significantly pricier.

Even though it’s been several years since the original Nintendo Switch came out, it’s still a very iconic handheld console. One of the big changes that nobody was expecting was the detachable controllers that can be used individually, making this a perfect console for playing with others. Granted, it doesn’t have next-gen graphics or anything like that, but given that it has one of the best first-party lineup of games, it doesn’t really need to, and with the included dock, it’s great to play on pretty much any screen.

A new special edition console from Microsoft isn't something new. Over the years, Xbox consoles have been a part of plenty of limited-edition collaborations, including a controller modeled after Deadpool's backside. But its latest creation just takes the cake.

Microsoft has stuffed an entire Xbox Series X inside a giant alligator, and the fun part is that you could take this monstrosity home. Meet the new Xbox Series X-BITE, a one-of-a-kind console that looks like an alligator swallowed Microsoft's gaming hardware whole. According to Xbox's official announcement, the bizarre creation is part of a special giveaway celebrating the company's upcoming trip to Florida.

Steam has apparently been struggling to keep up with new game submissions. Developers have been forced to wait longer to get their games approved, which has caused Valve to step in to fix things. The company is putting stricter release requirements in place, including one which is absolutely hilarious. Valve needs developers to play their games through Steam before submitting them for review.

In an official Steamworks announcement, Valve acknowledged that a significant increase in game and store page submissions has overwhelmed its review process. The company typically aims to complete game build reviews within three to five days. However, some are now taking up to 12 business days, with repeated reviews contributing heavily to the backlog.
