If you are looking to purchase a Nintendo Switch Lite, do not hesitate on taking advantage of this offer — Nintendo systems rarely receive a price cut, and we expect this promotion to sell out within the next few days.

Launched earlier this year, the Nintendo Switch Lite is drastically different from its predecessor and should not be viewed as a replacement for the original model. Instead, the Switch Lite serves as a cheaper alternative to the Nintendo Switch that is strictly a handheld-only variant. Retailing for $100 less, the $200 Lite is a single unit with integrated Joy-Cons built-in and a regular D-Pad instead of the separate four directional pads.

With the money saved,you can take advantage of other great Switch deals, as several of the console’s popular titles are also available at discounted prices. Highlights include Pokemon Sword/Shield for $48 and Astral Chain for $50.

In addition to this deal, Walmart also has its own Nintendo Switch Lite deal currently available. While the retailer is not discounting the console itself, you can purchase the system and a carrying case for only $200. If you’re looking to buy a standard Nintendo Switch console, you are also in luck. For $300, Best Buy currently has a Nintendo Switch bundle that includes the console, a $30 gift card, plus a free copy of Starlink: Battle for Atlas. Amazon also has it’s own $300 Nintendo Switch deal, with consumers receiving a $30 promotional credit, while Walmart’s exclusive Switch deal includes a $20 gift card for the Nintendo eShop, in addition to a carrying case, also for $300.

For better or worse, Nintendo's main focus has always been on making the most enjoyable software possible on its specific hardware. Anything surrounding that tends to come off as an afterthought.

As we approach the Switch 2's launch, we're seeing a bigger push into these types of services. Nintendo Online is only getting stronger with GameCube games on the way, almost complete backwards compatibility, and built-in voice chat is a complete 180 from how chatting on the Switch started out. But it is the Virtual Game Cards that stand out as the most vital innovation.
