Best Nintendo Switch deals: consoles, games, and accessories

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.

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.

Nintendo Switch OLED Model — $295 $350 16% 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.

Microsoft has really been focusing a lot lately on it's gaming division when it comes to things like the Xbox Series X or Series S consoles, but one of the biggest offerings it has going is the Xbox Game Pass service. Besides being required to access online multiplayer on the Xbox Series consoles, which is a bit of a shame, you also can get access to a pretty sizeable game library. Granted, you aren't always going to get the latest games, but if you don't buy games often, having this option is great for a little bit of extra each month. Sony actually has a similar service in the form of the PS Plus, but the difference is that there is also an Xbox Game Pass subscription service for PCs as well, so PC gamers can access the library.
