The last day of Amazon Prime Day (week) is here, giving Prime members access to discounts on almost every major category across the retailer’s site. You can also find deals on tech, household essentials, sneakers and more.
I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a writer for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. Plus, I’ve been gaming on the Nintendo Switch since 2017, enjoying everything from roguelikes like Hades to open-world RPGs like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. (That said, I have yet to get my hands on the recently launched Nintendo Switch 2.)
I combed through thousands of discounts to find the best Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals for both the original models and the new Nintendo Switch 2 — each one I recommend below is highly rated, at least 20% off and at its lowest price in at least three months. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Day.

Best Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals
This Nintendo-licensed memory card gives you 128 gigabytes to store downloaded games, screenshots, and video captures. It also has faster read and write speeds, so games load more quickly and have less lag. It works with the original Nintendo Switch and OLED and Lite versions, but not the Nintendo Switch 2.
tomtoc Slim Carrying Case for Nintendo Switch 2
If you’ve snagged a Switch 2, which Nintendo just released in June, protect it with this precision-fit case. It’s slim and lightweight while offering protection from drops, bumps, and scratches, thanks to a plush interior. It also has 12 slots for game cards and an adjustable handle.
PowerA Protection Case for Nintendo Switch
Designed to fit the original Nintendo Switch lineup — including the OLED and Lite models — this carrying case protects your console with a firm outer shell and padded interior. It also has a large zippered mesh pocket for cords and other accessories, nine game card slots, two micro SD card slots, and a padded screen cover that doubles as a stand.
Siwiqu TV Dock Station
Since you can take the Nintendo Switch on the go, it helps to have a dock that’s similarly portable. Unlike the bulky storage dock that comes with the Switch, this has a much slimmer profile and is lightweight, allowing you to pack it and set it up. You can play either on the TV (with an HDMI cable, which isn’t included) or on the tabletop, since it also works as a stand.
Licensed by Nintendo, this wireless, AA battery-powered Switch Controller works for the original Nintendo Switch as well as the OLED and Lite models, and is decked out with imagery from Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It has an ergonomic design for extra comfort, precision-tuned joysticks, and mappable buttons, which you can program mid-game.
8-in-1 Dual-Direction Magnetic Controller Charger
One of the few accessories that works with the Switch 2, Switch, and OLED version, this charging dock has four Joycon chargers and bidirectional charging, meaning you can place your console facing either direction; the original dock only charges in one direction. It has indicator lights to let you know when your Joy-Cons are fully charged and space for the charging cable.
If you’re into cozy, farming simulation games like Stardew Valley, it’s worth giving this game a shot; it was first released back in 2003, making it a pioneer in the genre. Plant crops, brush livestock, and fish in the river while making friends and romancing characters in the titular Mineral Town.
TMNT Mutants Unleashed
This Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game for the Nintendo Switch lets you fight, grow and explore as one of the four heroes. It also has a two-player mode for couch co-op, and it’s currently at its lowest price ever for Prime Day.
HORI Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Charge Stand
Officially licensed by Nintendo, this charging stand plugs into the Nintendo Switch dock via USB and charges up to four Joy-Con at once. Its LED lights turn off when your devices are powered up and ready for play.
Binbok VR Switch 2 Accessories Bundle
If you just got a Nintendo Switch 2 and want to get all of your accessories at once, this set is a great starter kit. With it, you’ll get a carrying case (with a mesh pocket for accessories), two screen protectors, a protective console cover, two Joy Con grips, two steering wheels, four silicone thumb-stick caps, and a separate game storage case that can fit up to four game cards. It even comes with an alignment frame and screen cleaning kit for applying the screen protectors.
Tokluck Switch Sports Accessories Bundle
If you use your Nintendo Switch to play sports, this bundle gives you all the necessary accessories to feel immersed in the game. It comes with golf clubs, tennis racquets, wrist straps, leg straps, swords, bowling grips, and two Joy-Con grips shared between the accessories; pop in your Joy-Cons and play. The set also comes with an organizer with dedicated spaces for the accessories and the Nintendo Switch dock and console.
If you’re playing or competing with a friend in a game, then you each need your own Joy-Con — which can get uncomfortable. These rubber grips set the Joy-Con in a more comfortable position that feels more natural, since they mimic the shape of traditional controller. Plus, they fit both the original Joy-Cons as well as those from the Nintendo Switch 2.
If you have a big library of Nintendo Switch games, keep them organized in this game case holder. It has slots for 24 game cards and 48 micro SD cards, a hard outer shell that protects them from bumps and scratches, and a magnetic closure. It’s roughly the size of a large iPhone, making it easy to take on the go.
Snag these Joy-Con grips at their lowest price ever this Prime Day. The set includes two steering wheels and two controllers, both of which are compatible with Switch 2 accessories and are made with non-slip grips, according to the brand.
Based on the original Final Fantasy series, this anniversary edition collection contains games one through six. It’s remastered with updated 2D pixel graphics and a rearranged soundtrack for the Nintendo Switch, and it’s currently on sale for its lowest price ever this Prime Day.
Anyone with little kids knows that Bluey is a big deal. This game allows you to engage in a variety of challenges and games and play as Bluey, Bingo, Chili or Bandit. You can also recreate iconic moments from the popular series.
Cue up this game for a dance-off to classic songs and recent hits, like “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga and “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter; this limited-edition version also comes with an exclusive Ariana Grande song pack. It has a workout mode if you’re looking to dance solo, and syncs with previous editions of the Just Dance game so all your songs are in one place.
If you don’t have a ton of storage space below your TV, you can store your Nintendo Switch 2 on this mountable shelf. It has dedicated spots for up to four Joy-Cons, five game cards, and the gaming console. According to the brand, it’s slim enough to be tucked behind your TV and designed to resist heat build-up. You can also set it on a console or table if you’d rather not drill into your walls.
The Nintendo Switch Lite — the slimmest and most lightweight model available — is known for being travel-friendly, but its streamlined design means that long gaming sessions can get uncomfortable. The solution: Pop on this grip case, which has ergonomic, controller-like handles to reduce hand fatigue as well as a built-in ventilation to allow heat to dissipate.
If you’re into puzzles, love learning languages, or both, then you need this Switch game. Inspired by the Tower of Babel, you make your way up a tower, using clues from the environment and other characters to decipher the language on each level. It’s one of the harder games I’ve played, but the artwork is stunning, the music is peaceful, and the ending — once you get there — is incredibly satisfying.
A carrying case is nice, but this crossbody bag lets you go hands free when traveling with your Nintendo Switch. It has a padded main compartment for protection, space for eight game cards and two extra Joy-Con controllers and a front zipper for your wallet or phone.
eXtremeRate PlayVital Back Cover
This slim-fit case, which only fits the original Nintendo Switch model, has shock-absorbent and anti-scratch padding to protect the console from bumps and drops. The anti-slip, sweat-resistant material also allows for a better grip while you play, according to the brand. The case also has cut-outs so you can dock the console and remove the Joy-Cons without having to remove it entirely.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure - Deluxe Edition
Think of this game as Animal Crossing meets Hello Kitty. You play as your own avatar, but can befriend Sanrio characters (including Hello Kitty), renovate cabins, solve puzzles, complete quests and plan events for your pals. This Deluxe Edition includes the base game on the island as well as legacy items and exclusive rewards. You can also create a multiplayer mode and team up with your friends and family.
