Amazon Prime Day deals are about to end, so this might very well be the last opportunity between now and Black Friday to get Nintendo Switch games and accessories at a steep discount. While it's rare to see the popular Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite go on sale, we're seeing enticing bundles and big savings on the best Nintendo Switch games as well as accessories such as controllers and memory cards now that Prime Day is in full swing. If you're looking to expand your game library for cheap, the time is now.
The Nintendo Switch has been selling out left and right all year, largely due to folks looking to escape from lockdown boredom with hot new games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons. That's why it's so surprising that Amazon has an Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch bundle in stock right now!
Here are the best Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals we've seen so far, as well as some shopping tips and predictions for the big sales event. Pro tip: if you're looking for Lego games for your Nintendo Switch, Amazon has virtually every one of them discounted right now, so act fast.

Best Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals: What to expect
The Nintendo Switch rarely gets discounted, even during major sales events such as Prime Day and Black Friday. However, we've seen lots of compelling bundles pop up during previous Prime Days that essentially allow you to get extra storage, accessories or eShop credit for free during the big event.
Nintendo has previously offered the $299 Nintendo Switch with a free $20 eShop card and a 64GB microSD card during previous sales events, and we expect the company to offer something similar this year, if not on Prime Day then on Black Friday. While you'll still be paying full price for the Switch, these bundles get you around $60 in extra stuff. That eShop credit is great for picking up the many excellent indie games on the Switch store, and you'll definitely want the extra storage for digital titles.
Also keep an eye on Walmart, as the retailer typically counters Amazon with a variety of great Switch bundles. Last year, we saw the store offer a great $329 "build-your-own bundle" that got you the Switch, your choice of a top Switch game, and either a portable battery pack or a carrying case.
Finally, Prime Day is a great time to snag some of the best Nintendo Switch games for cheap. Nintendo games rarely go on sale, but this is your chance to get titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey for around $15 off. And third-party games usually go for even bigger discounts, like NBA 2K21, which is currently available at a $25 discount.
