Nintendo Switch deals are fairly easy to find these days. Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop typically offer discounts on everything from Switch games to must-have Switch accessories. However, if you're looking for Nintendo Switch deals on consoles, things are a little trickier.
Deals on the Nintendo Switch console and Nintendo Switch Lite are rare and when they do happen they sell out fast. In terms of pricing, Switch deals usually take a modest $20 or $30 off the console. Alternatively, some retailers might throw in a free game or accessory. While the consoles are easy to find in stock, both devices remain in high demand, which means retailers have no incentive to discount them. So we're rounding up the best Nintendo Switch deals on accessories, games, and more.
If you need a console, make sure to check out our where to buy Nintendo Switch guide for stock updates and bundle deals.

Best Nintendo Switch deals
The Nintendo Switch (with extended battery) retails for $299. The console with the improved battery was released in 2019. The updated battery lasts a maximum of nine hours, rather than 6.5 like its predecessor. (You can spot the new console from its packaging: the upgraded Nintendo Switch box has a red background).
However, Switch demand has made finding Switch deals near-impossible. Although we saw a rare Nintendo Switch deal last month, we don't expect to see another one till the holiday season. (The July deal we saw came courtesy of Amazon, which took $30 off the standalone console). That said, retailers like Amazon and Walmart occasionally offer Switch bundles, which include a free game or credit. These are your best options if you're looking for Switch deals on the console itself.
In addition, Nintendo recently launched a new Nintendo Switch Mario Red & Blue Edition that costs $299. It comes with a bonus carrying case.
Nintendo Switch OLED deals
On October 8, Nintendo will release the Nintendo Switch OLED. The $349 system will sport a larger, 7-inch OLED screen and allow gamers to play via their TV, in tabletop mode, or in handheld mode. We don't expect to see any Nintendo Switch deals on the new system, but consumers should prepare for a shortage of stock, especially since it's being released so close to the holiday season. Make sure to follow our where to buy Nintendo Switch OLED guide for the latest info on pre-orders, which tend to occur only a few times per month. Alternatively, you can check the Switch OLED pre-order page on Amazon to see when the next round of preorders might become available.
Nintendo Switch Lite deals
Now available in more colors than ever, the Editor's Choice Nintendo Switch Lite retails for $199. It's smaller and lighter than the traditional Switch which makes it even more portable. We love the Switch Lite's gorgeous, comfortable design, good battery life, and stellar game library. The Switch Lite is available in three colors: gray, turquoise, and yellow.
Unlike the Nintendo Switch, the Switch Lite is slightly easier to find in stock. Usually Best Buy, Amazon, and GameStop have stock of the Switch Lite in various colors. As for as Switch Lite deals — don't expect any. Last month Amazon had the Switch Lite bundled with a $20 Amazon credit for $199. That's as good as Nintendo Switch deals get these days. Your best bet is to look for bundles. For instance, Amazon has the Switch Lite w/ a 128GB microSDXC card for $223 ($10 off).
