Nintendo has kept an annual tradition of releasing Switch holiday bundles around Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but in 2023, they arrived earlier than ever on Friday, Oct. 6, just in time for Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days holiday kickoff sale. (For everyone's convenience, we're just going to call it Prime Day 2, cool? Cool.)

Below, we're keeping a running list of the best Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals — which you should snag sooner rather than later, considering Prime Day 2 is ending today. This includes deals at other stores like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart, which are all running competing sales events of their own. Happy gaming!

Note:All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Deals with a strikeoutwere either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Why we like it

Nintendo's holiday Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle has returned for yet another year, and it's as good a deal as ever: You get a standard (non-OLED) Switch, a copy of the aforementioned game, and a three-month individual Nintendo Switch Online membership for just $299, or the price of the console itself. (Buying each component separately would cost about $69 more.) At the time of writing, it was still in stock at Amazon, while retailers including Best Buy, GameStop, and My Nintendo Store are listing the bundle for $299.99. Walmart is going with Amazon's price, BTW, if a savings of 99 cents even means anything in this economy.

Why we like it

This retro-inspired JRPG by Square Enix, a sequel to 2018's Octopath Traveler, is one of Mashable's favorite games of 2023 (so far): "It’s got beautiful 'HD2D' visuals, genuinely novel turn-based combat, and boss fight musicthat makes you want to sprint through a wall," writes tech and games reporter Alex Perry. Amazon currently has it on sale for $42.25, saving you over $17. At Target, the game's about a dollar more expensive, FYI.

Prime Day deals on Nintendo Switch accessories

Opens in a new window Credit: SanDisk Our pick: SanDisk 512GB microSDXC Card

Why we like it

Switch consoles come with only 32GB to 64GB of internal storage depending on the model, so most players will need to purchase a separate memory card at some point. A whopping 512GB is overkill for many, but if you're the type of person who's always finding something new to play, it'll come in handy — and at 58% off, this is an amazing deal. (Note that Amazon's list price is slightly inflated: This same microSDXC card retails for $119.99 in the My Nintendo Store.) For comparison's sake, it was selling for $69.99 at Best Buy and Target when we last checked.
