Sales on Nintendo Switch, games, controllers and more

Want the Ferrari of Switch consoles? You got it! This is undeniably the nicest Switch console you can buy — and it’s a whopping $75 off. The color and clarity of the OLED display is second to none, plus gamers will enjoy excellent sound and a smart built-in kickstand that makes gaming on the go that much cooler.

Okay, maybe you don’t need a Ferrari. How about a Lexus? This is the Switch that started it all and made the gaming system a must-have in any home with kids (and grown-up kids). This bundle is packed with straight-out-of-the-box value that includes two controllers, a console, a full download of Mario Kart 8 deluxe games and a 12-month individual membership download that connects you to a whole host of other games. While the console is great on the go, this device can also be connected to your TV for a family night in.

You know what? If you have a Nintendo Switch, we’ll just assume you do The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. What do you say? Don’t you? Well, we’re not here to judge you for not playing the unbelievably excellent follow-up The breadth of wildness and one of the top 10 most popular Switch games of all time. We are not paid to judge. But we get paid to tell you when there’s a great deal you’re missing — and this is one of them. Right now you can score this game from the iconic The Legend of Zelda series with over 40% off.

How does it sound to get 50% off a game with two legendary characters? This is one of the best gaming deals we’ve seen this year. This Olympic-themed title brings Mario and Sonic together and lets you play as characters from both their iconic universes. Compete in sports like skateboarding, karate, boxing, athletics and more.

“Great game that all kids love and has quickly become a new go-to,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “Also entertaining for adults. Good for quick, fast mini-games or hours of family fun.”

The Switch’s Joy-Con controllers are all well and good, but when you have longer gaming sessions, a pro controller is in order. This wireless option lets you play from any point in the room. Additional buttons and two joysticks provide a more comfortable gaming experience.

Do you have a sporty player? Or do you just want to burn some calories while playing with your Switch? This package will take you through six sports, including tennis, bowling and volleyball. The motion controllers in this bundle turn in-game movements such as kicking, swinging, spiking and bowling into real-world action. If being more active is on your New Year’s agenda, this set will have you sweating and having fun at the same time.

Are your kids looking forward to the latest Sonic movie? We certainly are. Not only are we excited about the Keanu Reeves-voiced Shadow the Hedgehog, we’re also excited about the distance between the two supercharged furballs. This is a bundle pack that includes two campaigns: Sonic’s cheerful adventure and Shadow’s more dramatic one.

If you prefer to download your games digitally instead of buying and storing physical ones, do yourself a favor and invest in a microSD card. With this deal, you get a pair, each with a generous amount of extra storage. You’ll avoid that “low storage” message thanks to these little green guys.

“Got this for extra Switch space and it recognized it immediately,” wrote one fan. “No corruption on any files or problems at all.”

Link is one of the iconic characters in Nintendo’s history, and The Legend of Zelda is a game that both experienced and casual players know well. This version is more light hearted and soothing than the original and easy to play on a day when you just need to relax but don’t want to concentrate too intensely. The best way I can describe this game is “slow and steady.” In terms of price history, this is the lowest it has ever been!

“As a longtime Zelda fan, I love being able to play this with my 7 year old,” one player wrote. “I also love that for the first time we get to play as Zelda instead of Link.”

It goes without saying that Super Mario games are some of Nintendo’s most popular, so it’s pretty rare to find this on sale since demand is so high. If you’re a fan of the bold colors, vibrancy, and adventure motifs of the Super Mario series, this game is sure to be your next obsession.

“My niece’s boyfriend brought it over for us to play and we all loved it,” wrote one reviewer. “Very fun to play as a family. The moment I saw it for sale on Amazon I bought it, especially since Mario games rarely drop in price.”

This was the most popular game during the pandemic. It gave everyone an escape and a little bit of joy while staying indoors. Now it’s having a resurgence with the colder months officially here. Create your own island, plant crops, fish, make friends and more with this adorable community-based game that just feels like a warm hug. While this isn’t the most affordable it’s been all year, you can’t go wrong with this deal, especially considering that this game is essentially infinite.

“Great game. Ages better than wine!” wrote an impressed shopper. “It’s so fun, so cute, adorable and there’s a lot to do.”
