The Nintendo Switch is the primary target for most shoppers who are looking at gaming deals, as the hybrid console is almost always out of stock among retailers. If you want to give the gaming device as a Christmas gift, either to a loved one or to yourself, you should always be checking Nintendo Switch deals for restocks. The good news is that it’s currently available from GameStop for its retail price of $300, so if you want to get the Nintendo Switch before Christmas, you should finalize your purchase as soon as possible.

The Nintendo Switch can function as either a portable gaming system, with the controllers called Joy-Cons attached to either side of the 6.2-inch screen, or as a home gaming console, with the Joy-Cons detached and the device placed in its dock that’s connected to your TV. When you place the console in its dock, you can seamlessly pick up from where you left off while playing in portable mode on your TV. The Joy-Cons can be used by a single player by holding one in each hand, or by two players with one Joy-Con each. Each Joy-Con comes with motion control capabilities through a built-in gyroscope and accelerometer, and they also have an HD Rumble feature that creates subtle vibrations during gameplay.

The popularity of the Nintendo Switch also comes from the games that you can play on the console, and there’s something for everyone from the growing list of Nintendo Switch exclusives. Some of the top titles that you can only play on the Nintendo Switch include The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and Ring Fit Adventure.

The Nintendo Switch is holding its own against the likes of the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X, and if you want to experience why, here’s your chance. The console is currently available from GameStop for its retail price of $300, but stocks aren’t expected to last long. If you don’t want to miss this opportunity to buy the Nintendo Switch, you shouldn’t hesitate — click that Buy Now button immediately.

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.
