Best Nintendo Switch deals: consoles, games, and accessories

By

With so many handheld consoles competing for your attention, it’s no surprise that the Nintendo Switch is easily winning, especially given how many great first-party titles it has. Not only that, but there are three different versions to pick from: the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, or Nintendo Switch OLED, so you can pick the one that fits your budget the best. Of course, even if you go for the cheapest option, taking advantage of a good deal is always worth it, and while there aren’t a lot of great game console deals on the Switch itself, we have gone out and found a couple options that might be worth checking out.

We’ve also collected some great Nintendo Switch video game deals and accessories deals, so be sure to check out those, too.

While Pokémon Scarlet & Violet may not be the best-reviewed Pokemon games out there, they get pretty close, especially with a new pivot of how the games are actually played. Unfortunately, this bundle doesn’t include the game, but it does include a lot of the art, including the gorgeous scarlet and violet Pokemons against a white background and the scarlet and violet joycons. Also, this is one of the OLED versions, so you’re going to get an excellent viewing experience.

Nintendo Switch OLED has a $66 discount, but there’s a catch
Nintendo Switch OLED running the new Zelda game.

Gamers know that Nintendo Switch deals almost always get sold out quickly, so you should be quick in taking advantage of Walmart's offer for the Nintendo Switch OLED. From its sticker price of $350, it's available for only $284 for savings of $66, which is enough to get you a Nintendo Switch game. There's a catch though -- the version that's on sale is imported from Japan, but that won't be a problem for you to enjoy the hybrid console. Proceed with the transaction right away, as you may miss out on the bargain if you hesitate.

Why you should buy the Nintendo Switch OLED
The Nintendo Switch OLED is an upgraded version of the Nintendo Switch that features a 7-inch OLED touchscreen that's bigger and brighter with more vivid colors, so that you can better enjoy the best Nintendo Switch games. Other changes that are highlighted by our Nintendo Switch OLED versus Nintendo Switch comparison include double the internal storage of 64GB -- though you can expand the console's capacity through a microSD card -- a built-in LAN port in the dock for a more convenient way of connecting an Ethernet cable for a more stable internet connection, and a wider kickstand that covers the entire backside of the console that's sturdier and allows for multiple degrees of positioning.

Best gaming console deals: cheapest prices on PS5, Xbox S and X and Switch

While the latest generation of consoles had a bit of a slow start, things have heated up in the last few years, and for those who have been waiting to pick up a console, now is a pretty good time when it comes to games, accessories and the like. There are a lot of great Xbox Series S and X deals, PlayStation 5 deals, and Nintendo Switch deals for you to check out, and we've collected the best we could find below. That said, it's important to note that we're currently going through a bit of a deals drought, even when it comes to refurbished consoles, so there aren't a ton of options out there, although be sure to check back as we do regularly keep track of deals and will update this article as better deals appear.
Xbox Series S 1TB -- starting at $349, was $380

The Xbox Series S is the less powerful but cheaper option out of the newest generation Xbox line. When comparing the Xbox Series S versus the Xbox Series X, the Series S takes a hit in all the component categories. That means it's not quite as fast. But if you're not hung up on getting the optimal performance out of your system, you'll actually notice very few differences. The two biggest ones are the Series S's inability to play in 8K, and its lack of a disc drive. Most people don't even have 8K TVs, so that shouldn't be an issue. If you're alright with downloading all of your games straight to the console's memory (and you have a separate DVD or Blu-Ray player), the Series S will work fine. It's quite a bit smaller anyway, and easier to fit on a shelf.

Why you should buy the Nintendo Switch Lite
Nintendo has released several different Switch models, with the Switch OLED being the choice for a high quality screen and the Switch Lite being where you should turn if you want ultimate portability on the Switch platform. It’s designed exclusively for handheld play, making the Switch experience something you can do just about anywhere. This is the smallest of all of the Switch models, which makes it easy to tuck away into a backpack or travel bag,, and which makes it unobtrusive if you like to sneak some gameplay in on the morning bus ride or walk to work. Despite its size it’s still fully capable in tackling the best Switch games.
