Original Switch next to Switch OLED.

Even though the Nintendo Switch first came out in a period when there was really no other handheld competition, nowadays, there are nearly half a dozen other options, and yet, Nintendo still maintains its dominance in the market. 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.
