I'm tracking all the Nintendo Switch 2 Prime Day deals — and these are the 17 discounts I'd actually get

This Nintendo Switch 2 bundle gets you the Editor's Choice console and a choice of one of three exclusive titles. Your options are Mario Kart World, Pokémon Pokopia and Donkey Kong: Bananza. You can save up to $30 compared to buying one of those games separately. It's my current top pick for the best Switch 2 hardware deal this Prime Day.
Price check: $499 @ Best Buy | $499 @ Gamestop | $499 @ Nintendo

If you want the Switch 2 at the lowest possible price, you can get the console without any bundled games for $449. The Editor's Choice console is a fantastic hybrid machine with an already impressive library. However, I do strongly recommend the Choose Your Game Bundle linked above. After all, what good is a new console without something to play?

The latest entry in the annual NBA 2K series has entered the court, and it's once again the most polished and authentic way to play basketball from the comfort of your couch. NBA 2K26 includes the series' standard suite of online and offline modes, including MyTEAM and MyGM. The Switch 2 version isn't as graphically impressive as on other consoles, but it does offer portable play. That's a pretty big advantage.

One of 2022’s unexpected cult hits, Stray casts you as a curious cat in a world filled with humanoid robots. There’s a lot to like in this cyberpunk adventure, from its visually striking setting to its nonverbal storytelling to its dedicated “meow” button. The gameplay is simple, but some platforming and puzzle challenges should keep players engaged during Stray’s relatively short playtime.

Sonic X Shadow Generations remasters the classic game and bundles it with a new chapter where you play as beloved anti-hero Shadow. It's a fun mix of 2D and 3D Sonic, and with shorter, replayable levels, it fits perfectly on the portable Nintendo Switch 2. It's dropped to $24, its lowest price to date for the Switch 2 port. It'll hold you over until Sonic the Hedgehog 4 hits theaters in March 2027.

Star Wars Outlaws is one of the best things to come out of the galaxy far, far away in years. You play the rogue Kay Vess, looking to make a name (and find the score of a lifetime) in a world controlled by the Galactic Empire. It's an Ubisoft game, so you can expect a large open world full of distractions and side missions.

Hades 2 is the remarkable sequel to the best-selling rougelite from Supergiant Games. You play the Princess of the Underworld on a quest to defeat the Titan of Tale. Combining a rich story with dungeon-crawling action set against the compelling "just one more run" structure of a rougelite, Hades 2 will have you play for hours on end, as you inch your way towards the final boss.

If you want even more Star Wars on your Switch, the Heritage Pack is 20% off. This bundles together seven classic Star Wars games, including both Knights of the Old Republic, The Force Unleashed and the two Jedi Knight games. It's enough classic Star Wars goodness to keep you busy all summer.

Mario and friends take to the court for the latest installment in the tennis series with a Mushroom Kingdom twist. Mario Tennis Fever takes its name from the new Fever Rackets, which add a dose of mayhem to tennis rallies. Plus, while Mario sports titles are often accused of lacking content at launch, Fever packs the series biggest roster of playable characters, and a single-player story mode.

Mario Kart World gets all the attention, but the true Nintendo fans know that Kirby Air Rider is actually the Switch 2 racer you need to play. This lightning-fast racing title sees Kirby and pals compete in breakneck races, with a steep learning curve for players who want to master each track. There's also a battle mode to add some variety. It's one of the Switch 2's more underrated games, and on sale for Prime Day.

Join Mario and friends for their biggest party yet in Super Mario Party Jamboree. With 110 mini-games and seven boards, this party game is packed with content and is an excellent way to gather friends and family for a fast-paced, competitive multiplayer experience. This deal is on the Switch 1 game (playable on Switch 2), but you can upgrade to the native Switch 2 Edition for $20, which packs the new Jamboree TV mode for more Mario Party fun.

Capcom has made good on its promise to support Switch 2, bringing the latest installment in the beloved survival-horror series to Nintendo's platform day one. Resident Evil Requiem is a current frontrunner for GOTY, and has you playing newcomer Grace Ashcroft and fan-favorite Leon S. Kennedy. Playable in both third and first person, Requiem is RE at its best, blending both horror and action.

Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 is the definitive way to enjoy CDPR's critically acclaimed first-person open-world RPG on the go. You play a mercenary named V, completing missions in the dark city of the future, Night City, though your main aim is surviving the chaos that surrounds you. This Ultimate Edition also includes the essential Phantom Liberty DLC expansion, which opens up a new area of the map, the ruthless Dogtown.

For just $16, you won't get much better protection for your Nintendo Switch 2. Plus, this case has a fun design featuring Mario and friends. This slim case can store your Nintendo Switch 2 console and cartridges, as well as having a built-in stand for tabletop gaming sessions.

If you want to add some flair to your Switch 2 setup, this PDP Afterglow Wave controller comes with eight RGB zones with four preset modes. It is a wired controller, but its $19 price makes it a great pick if you're looking for an extra Switch 2 controller without spending the pricy sums on a Pro controller. Plus, it's compatible with the original Switch.

The Switch 2 was made to be portable, so you'll want a case to keep it protected on your travels. This officially licensed accessory comes with space to not only sort your Switch 2, but also a Pro controller and power adapter. It also comes with 12 slots to hold Switch game cards.

If you need more storage for your Nintendo Switch 2 console, the Samsung P9 microSD Express Card offers 256GB of space with up to 800 MB/s transfer speeds, and it's built for Nintendo Switch 2. You won't sacrifice performance to get more space, and the deal makes it a much more comfortable price.
