I'm a bit scared to calculate how much I've played my Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 in total, but I know that it's well over 1,000 hours. Last year alone, I played my Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 for 550 hours, and I've also spent over 800 hours playing Animal Crossing New Horizons (spread over the six years since it released.)
So, you can trust me when I recommend my favorite Nintendo Switch games and accessories. This week Amazon's Big Spring Sale is on and I've been scouring the sale for the best deals for Nintendo gamers.
One of the deals I recommend most is the GameSir Super Nova for $36. The GameSir Super Nova is the best Switch controller I own, and right now it's less than half the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller. It also has Hall Effect triggers and thumb sticks — which make the controller feel more accurate, more comfortable and most importantly, less likely to develop drift (an issue that plagues Nintendo's Joy-Con controllers.)
Keep scrolling to see my favorite Switch and Switch 2 deals this season! I also recommend checking out the best PS5 spring deals.
