Best Nintendo Switch deals: consoles, games, and accessories

While there is a lot of competition from the likes of the Steam Deck and the Lenovo Legion Go, the Nintendo Switch is still probably one of the best handheld consoles on the market, at least when it comes to the lineup of incredible games. Not only that, but it’s a lot cheaper, and with three different versions, the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, or Nintendo Switch OLED, you can pick the one that fits your needs and budget the best. Not only that, but there is a huge selection of accessories that are available for the Switch now, so you can really customize it and your overall experience just the way you like it.

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 thought 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.

Amazon has officially announced the dates for Prime Big Deal Days, which will run from October 8 to the 9. But you don't have to wait until then to save big. Nearly everything from apparel, video games and tools, to electronics, outdoor equipment, and Halloween gear is discounted. Come take a look.

Nintendo Switch OLED Model — $310, $349

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.

Best gaming chair deals: Save on Corsair, Razer, and more

When we start to play, we can often lose track of time, which is perfectly fine given that we absolutely love to play. That said, sitting in front of a computer for hours and hours isn't really healthy since it can affect your circulation and hurt your back, which isn't great at all. That said, having a good gaming chair can help with some of those issues, such as providing lumbar support and more breathability, and some chairs can even help with circulation. Of course, the quality that you get depends a lot on the price, which is why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite gaming chair deals for you below across various price brackets.

Also, if you're still in the shopping phase and haven't fully built your gaming setup yet, be sure to check out these gaming PC deals, gaming monitor deals, and gaming console deals to deck yourself out with the best stuff.

Best Xbox Game Pass deals: Upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate for cheap
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate logo.

There's a lot to love about the Xbox Series X or Series S consoles, but if you've ever tried to get online to play a multiplayer game, you may have run into an issue. Unfortunately, Microsoft requires you to subscribe to specific membership to be able to access online features, much like Sonyt does with the PS Plus. That said, the membership do have some nice perks to them, even on the cheapest plan, like free games and things of that nature. In fact, if you're on the Series S, then it probably makes sense to grab the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate since it gives you access to a whole library of games without having to buy them individually.

Also, you may want to check out these great Xbox Series S and X deals while you're here.
