Early Switch Deals

The holiday shopping season is getting closer and Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days is a good time as any to save on a Nintendo Switch. The event returns Oct. 6 and 7, and we’ve already spotted early deals pop up on games and accessories.

Bottom Line

Nintendo recently raised the price of the Switch 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is slated for November. With Prime Day arriving before Black Friday, it could be a good opportunity to get your console, games and accessories squared away before the holiday deals kick off.

We’ll keep this page updated as more deals go live closer to the event, so keep checking back.

Featured Hardware

Nintendo isn’t offering any direct deals on the Switch 2 right now, but you can still score some savings. The Mario Kart World game costs $80 on its own, so you’re essentially saving $30 with the bundle. It also comes with three free months of Nintendo Switch Online membership.

Sandisk 512GB Express microSD

Even with the Switch 2’s boosted storage, you may want to expand its memory with a microSD card. This Sandisk Express microSD card adds an extra 512GB of storage and supports blazing-fast transfer speeds of up to 880 Mbps.

8Bitdo Ultimate 2 wireless controller with charging dock

This is a must-have for Switch gamers who prefer the feel of a more traditional controller. It’s wireless, supports motion controls and has extra bumpers for serious versatility.

HyperX Cloud III wired gaming headset

This wired gaming headset puts you right in the middle of the action with immersive audio. It also comes with a noise-canceling mic so your callouts are crystal clear.

Switch 2 Amiibo Mineru's Construct

Have the figure keep you company while you explore Hyrule. The Amiibo could also get you special items in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game.

Event Details

Amazon just confirmed that its Prime Big Deal Days event is returning on Oct. 6 and Oct. 7 with thousands of deals across every product category.

Do you need an Amazon Prime membership to shop the sale?

No, but having one can help you get more out of it. We’ve seen a ton of deals reserved exclusively for Prime members. A subscription also includes perks such as free two-day shipping and faster delivery options.

Where are the best Prime Day deals?

As you might expect, Amazon is the place to be for Prime Day deals. But that doesn’t mean that other retailers don’t often jump on the bandwagon. Retailers like Best Buy, Walmart and Target often run competing sales alongside Amazon’s.
