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

Nintendo Switch OLED Model — $279 $349 20% off

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.

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions
Claude can still help develop original games, but copying existing titles is now off the table.

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of
Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
