It's a great time to score some Nintendo Switch Prime Day deals, whether you managed to get your hands on an elusive Nintendo Switch 2 or you're still fleshing out your library on your original Switch, Switch OLED or Switch Lite. As usual, a ton of Switch games and accessories are on sale for Amazon's massive shopping event, to the point where it can be hard to tell what's actually worth picking up.
Fortunately, I've been tracking Amazon deals on Nintendo's beloved console for as long as I've been gaming on it (eight years, to be exact), and I'm here to make sure you get right to the good stuff. From discounts on some all-time great Nintendo Switch games to accessories I've sworn by for years — not to mention the ever-rare Switch console sale — here are the Prime Day deals you should be shopping right now. Keep checking back in throughout the week, as we've seen deals disappear and return in the first days of this savings week.
Nintendo Switch OLED
If you're tired of waiting for the next Nintendo Switch 2 restock — or you just never jumped on the Switch train — the Switch OLED is still a fantastic console in 2025. Its OLED screen is more vibrant than even the Switch 2 display, and it'll still get plenty of big upcoming Nintendo games like Metroid Prime 4. The current discount isn't huge, but you do save a few bucks off the list price.Read our review
MagicFiber Microfiber Cleaning Cloths, 6-Pack
These microfiber cloths have been my go-to for keeping my Switch (and just about every other screen I own) free of smudges. Every MagicFiber bundle is on sale right now; I recommend at least going with this six-pack that's at its lowest price.
Hori D-Pad Controller
My all-time favorite Switch accessory, the Hori D-Pad Controller, gives you a proper directional pad for playing fighting games and platformers with precision on the go. I'm desperately awaiting a Switch 2 version, but for folks still rocking the original model, this is a great cheap pickup.
PowerA Nintendo Switch Wired Controller
PowerA makes some of our favorite Switch accessories, and this officially licensed wired controller is an absolute bargain at this close-to-lowest price. It's perfect if you need a spare gamepad for multiplayer sessions, and it'll work with both your Switch and Switch 2.
CRKD Nitro Deck
We really dug the Nitro Deck's ability to transform your Switch into a bigger, more ergonomic handheld. It's back to its lowest price ever for Prime Day, making it an affordable way to hold yourself over until you finally get a Switch 2. Read our review
PowerA Protection Case for Nintendo Switch
PowerA knows how to make a great case, and this slim sleeve gives you space for nine game cards and plenty of accessories within one of my favorite designs the company offers. It's just two bucks shy of its lowest-ever price right now.
PowerA Accessory Bundle
You likely won't find a better (or more adorable) value for OG Switch accessories than this PowerA bundle, which gets you a controller, a case and a Joy-Con grip that are all decked out in cute pastel Pokémon themes.
SanDisk 256GB MicroSDXC Card Licensed for Nintendo Switch
Every Switch owner should have a microSD card, given how quickly digital games can eat up your storage. SanDisk makes my favorite ones, and this model gets you a generous 256GB of extra space, complete with some cute Pikachu artwork for a good price. Just note that this card will not work on your Switch 2; you'll need a pricier microSD Express card for expanding storage on Nintendo's new console.
SanDisk 256GB Ultra MicroSDXC Card
Though it isn't as cute, penny-pinchers will prefer this microSD card, which offers the same amount of storage at a more affordable price. At $17, it's just a few bucks shy of the lowest price we've seen.
Savage Raven by Skull & Co. Thumb Grips for Nintendo Switch 2
These thumb grips haven't left my Switch 2 from the moment I put them on, thanks to an incredibly tactile and secure grip that lets me drift around Mario Kart World with precision.
PowerA Wireless GameCube-Style Controller for Nintendo Switch
You don't have to buy Nintendo's $60 GameCube controller to play the Switch 2's library of GameCube classics such as Soul Calibur 2 and F-Zero GX the way they were meant to be played. This PowerA controller gets you a similar design for a fraction of the price, and it'll work with both your Switch and Switch 2.
Logitech C920x HD Pro Webcam
The Switch 2 lets you video chat with friends via any USB webcam of your choosing, and this is the best one for the price. It's cheaper and more versatile than Nintendo's own camera, and it gets you much sharper 1080p video. Read our review
Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario Odyssey is unquestionably one of the best Nintendo Switch games of all time and a must-play for anyone who's into things like fun and joy. We've seen it discounted more in the past, but it's still a great game for this current on-sale price, especially now that it's gotten a nice performance update for the Switch 2. Make sure you're buying the digital version at Target to get the sale pricing.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Tears of the Kingdom is up there with Super Mario Odyssey in the pantheon of best Switch games, improving upon previous Zelda games with a breathtaking, massive world. At $58, the game has hit its lowest price ever, though it's likely to sell out.
Balatro Special Edition
If you've ever wanted to try Balatro — a poker-like game that's impossible to put down — now is the time. It hasn't been this cheap since late 2024, and at just $20, it's way cheaper than most games.Read our review
Splatoon 3
One of the Switch's absolute best multiplayer games (and one I personally love playing with CNN Underscored copy chief Daniel Toy), this vibrant ink-blasting shooter is available at a great price right now. It's even updated for Switch 2 for smoother squid kid gameplay. Read our review
Animal Crossing: New Horizons Bundle
The colorful, cozy life simulator that got many of us through the pandemic is still a blast in 2025, and this digital bundle gets you both the base game and the Happy Home Paradise expansion at a big discount. Read our review
Super Mario 3D World and Bowser's Fury
As well deserved as the hype around Odyssey is, this Mario game — which delivers a beautiful four-player hybrid of 2D and 3D Mario gameplay — remains one of my favorites in the franchise. The Bowser's Fury expansion essentially adds an entire second game to the mix, and the whole thing has been updated for Switch 2 with better performance and GameShare support so you can more easily play with friends.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
An underrated gem, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom takes the classic top-down Zelda formula and flips it on its head by finally letting you play as the series' titular princess with her own unique range of abilities. It's also one of many Nintendo games that's gotten enhanced for the Switch 2.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Another one of my all-time favorite Mario games, Super Mario Bros. Wonder puts a delightfully inventive spin on the series' classic 2D side-scrolling formula. It's a few bucks shy of its best-ever price right now.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
This throwback TMNT side-scroller will bring glee to every retro gaming enthusiast out there looking to replicate the classic arcade vibes. We've only seen this game's price go this low once before, last Prime Day.
Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics
I don't think there's a single game I logged more hours in last year than this collection, which brings together the entire Marvel vs. Capcom franchise in all its chaotic comic book combat glory. It's a must for both Marvel fans and fighting-game enthusiasts, especially at this lowest-ever price. While this current batch of Prime Day Switch deals is relatively modest, they include a few lowest or close-to-lowest prices on some of the best accessories and games for the system. Deals on Nintendo hardware are especially rare, so we're happy to also see a discount on the excellent Nintendo Switch OLED. And with Nintendo Switch 2 games and accessories only getting more expensive, this is a great chance to stock up on some great backwards-compatible titles and gear for your new console. Speaking of which, the deals we're seeing on Nintendo Switch games are especially strong, with some of our personal all-time favorites available for some of their best prices yet.
