Best Nintendo Switch deals: consoles, games, and accessories

The Nintendo Switch is probably one of the best handheld consoles on the market right now, if not one of the best consoles overall, especially given its strong lineup of both first and third-party games. It also helps that there are three versions to pick from depending on your budget: the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, or Nintendo Switch OLED, so there’s an option for pretty much anybody. Plus, given that the Switch has been out for so long, there are a ton of accessories for each model if you’d like, including everything from carrying cases to Switch covers.

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.

Also, this is one of the OLED versions, so you’re going to get an excellent viewing experience.
