Day 2 of Prime Days deals is almost done, which means there are only a few hours left to get the best Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals. Nintendo Switch sales are always some of the most popular deals during the faux-holiday, so they won't last long.
Just know that the Nintendo Switch console rarely goes on sale, even during major sales events like Prime Day or Black Friday. While you shouldn't don't expect a significant discount on the Switch console, we've seen compelling bundles in previous years packing in either games or eShop credit.
That said, Nintendo Switch games and Nintendo Switch accessories are on sale. We've already found a bunch of discounts below, including some big games available for $14 apiece. If you're looking to kit out your Switch, then Prime Day is the perfect opportunity to get all the extras you need.

Nintendo Switch: $299 @ Amazon
The original Nintendo Switch with gray Joy-Cons is listed as "in stock soon" at Amazon. We expect to see a Prime Day restock of the hardware, but any sort of discount seems unlikely.

Best Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals: What to expect
Even during major sales events, the Nintendo Switch rarely gets discounted. So don't expect a significant price drop during Amazon Prime Day 2021. Unfortunately, the Switch will likely remain at its usual price of $299.
What we do see historically is is plenty of compelling bundles pop up. These allow you to get a Nintendo Switch with some extra games or accessories, or even an eShop digital credit thrown in for free during big sales.
Nintendo has offered the $299 Nintendo Switch with a free $20 eShop card and a 64GB microSD card during previous sales events. We expect the company to offer something similar this year, if not on Prime Day then on Black Friday.
It's also worth keeping an eye on retailers beyond Amazon. Walmart especially is known for offering fierce competition during Prime Day. For example, in 2019 Walmart offered a "build-your-own bundle" deal which got you a console plus your choice of a top game and either a portable battery pack or a carrying case. Something similar may appear again this year.
One item that does tend to get significantly reduced during Prime Day is Nintendo Switch games. The sales event is often a great time to snag some of the best Nintendo Switch games for cheap. Nintendo's own games rarely go in sale, but Prime Day is your chance to get the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey for around $10-15 off. Third-party games usually go even lower, and you can pick up some of these titles for as little as $20.
