We’re in the final hours of the latest Amazon Prime Day sale, but there are still plenty of decent gaming deals up for grabs.

Below we’ve rounded up all the best Prime Day deals on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 games, consoles and accessories that are still kicking.

Top picks: Prime Day Nintendo deals

Nintendo

We aren’t seeing any true discounts for the Switch 2 right now, and with the ongoing RAM and storage chip shortage, we don’t expect any new deals to arrive as Prime Day goes on. However, we do think Nintendo’s latest console bundle is worth noting. It’s not an out-and-out deal at its MSRP of $499, but it does pair the console with your choice of Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza or Pokemon Pokopia — three picks from our guide to the best Switch 2 games — which saves you $20 or $30 compared to buying one of those titles separately.

More pertinently, Nintendo has already confirmed that the console alone will cost $500 after a $50 price hike coming on September 1. So consider this more of a PSA: If you have the means today and know you’ll want a Switch 2 at some point soon, it might be worth taking advantage of the current bundle and snagging an extra game in the process.

Nintendo Switch 2 Prime Day video game deals

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for $60 ($20 off MSRP): Tears of the Kingdom is an open-world adventure done right: Its giant, layered world is filled with mystery and doesn’t bend to the player at every turn, while its delightful contraption-building mechanics offer a great sense of freedom in solving puzzles or simply getting around. This is the best price to date for the Switch 2 edition, which runs at a buttery smooth 60 fps with a sharper resolution and faster load times than the original Switch 1 version. The latter is also on sale for $50, though we’ve seen larger discounts for that in the past.

Nintendo

The predecessor to Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild is a comparatively simpler open-world adventure — there are no “sky islands” above or sprawling depths below, and you don’t spend as much time messing with the game’s physics or crafting your own items. But it’s a more focused, faster-paced and arguably more soulful game as result, one that comes the closest to modernizing the promise of the original Legend of Zelda from all those years ago. As with TotK, this Switch 2 edition also runs fantastically on the new hardware.

This is the largest discount we’ve tracked for the updated version. The Switch 1 copy is also on sale for $42, though we’ve seen it go for less in the past. The DLC expansion Pass for that Switch version is discounted as well, as is the Switch 2 upgrade pack for those who already own the original game.

Kirby Air Riders for $50 ($20 off): Kirby Air Riders is a sugar rush of a mascot racing game with a weirder and more experimental air to it than something like Mario Kart World. Its races are quick and bursting with color, and its vehicles accelerate automatically, so you control everything with just two buttons and the left stick. Despite that, it has a real skill ceiling: No magic item will carry you from first to last every race. The cars themselves are balanced like a fighting game roster, and there’s a decent variety of modes to check out, including a single-player story campaign and the frantic “City Trial” upgrade-and-battle mode. This is the first major discount we’ve tracked.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for $45 ($25 off): The great irony of Metroid Prime 4 is that longtime Metroid Prime fans are the people most likely to be disappointed in it. Its levels are more linear and self-contained than previous entries in the first-person adventure series, and it saddles you with a few annoyingly chatty NPCs. Still, take Beyond for what it is and you’ll find a stylish and accessible sci-fi shooter with thrilling boss fights, snappy combat, a great soundtrack and fantastic visuals. This is a rare discount and the second-best price we’ve tracked after one brief drop to $35 earlier this year. The Switch 1 version is also on sale for $30.

Nintendo

Amazon is running a handful of $10 discounts on physical copies of upcoming Switch 2 games, bringing them down to the same price as their digital editions. Alongside the looter shooter Splatoon Raiders — which releases next month — the tactical RPG Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, the puzzle-adventure game Orbitals and the casual sports game Nintendo Switch Sports Resort are also on sale. To be clear, these are pre-order deals, and there’s always some risk to buying a game before you see its finished state. So you should only take advantage if you’re 100 percent sure you’re getting the game no matter what.

Mario Tennis Fever for $50 ($20 off): It may not hit the highs of the Mario Tennis games from the GameCube and N64 era, but Fever should still be good for some arcadey fun, especially if you have a few friends (or kids) you can play it with locally. It has a large roster of characters, each with different stats and over-the-top abilities, while the core tennis itself finds a good balance between accessibility and depth. That said, the single-player “adventure” mode doesn’t have much meat to it, and some characters are clearly more overpowered than others. The online multiplayer isn’t as geared to competitive play as the last Mario Tennis either. But if you’re looking for a new party game for the family, this is the first substantial discount we’ve tracked for the latest entry.

Split Fiction for $32 ($18 off): Split Fiction is designed from the ground up to be played with another person. In fact, you can only play it in co-op. But if you have a buddy who is willing to go through the roughly 15-hour campaign, you’ll both find a crowd-pleasing action game that overcomes its sometimes hacky writing with tight controls and a Nintendo-like commitment to presenting new gameplay ideas. This discount comes within a couple bucks of the best price we’ve seen for the Switch 2 version. Only one person needs to buy the game too — the other can then download a free Friend’s Pass and join in at no extra cost.

Capcom

The latest Resident Evil game is a celebration of gaming’s most famous horror series. Its first half, in which you mostly play as a trauma-ridden FBI analyst sneaking around zombies in a sanatorium, is particularly great, all suffocating tension and pervasive dread. The back half isn’t quite as cohesive, taking a hard turn into ridiculously over-the-top action, but it still offers some fun thrills, and the good outweighs the bad overall. This deal marks the best price we’ve seen for the Switch 2 version, which runs surprisingly well.

Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut for $25 ($25 off): There really isn’t anything like a Yakuza game: dense, deeply Japanese brawler-RPGs that are loaded with wild mini-games and alternate between serious crime drama and bonkers comedy on a whim. If you’ve never played one before, Yakuza 0 is an ideal starting point, as it serves as a prequel to the entire series. This port for the Switch 2 runs remarkably well and includes an English voiceover dub among other bonuses. This discount matches the best price we’ve tracked. Just note that it’s a “game-key card,” so the cartridge in the box lets you download the game digitally instead of holding the full game itself.

Nintendo Switch Prime Day video game deals

Super Mario Odyssey for $40 ($20 off): It’s close to a decade old, but Odyssey remains one of Nintendo’s essentials, a jubilant 3D platformer that controls perfectly and offers a relentless stream of creative ideas. It really should cost $20 at this point, but that’s just not how Nintendo rolls. Regardless, we’ve only seen it drop lower than this discount once since the holidays.

Nintendo

Originally released for the Wii in 2010, Donkey Kong Country Returns is one of Nintendo’s more underrated 2D platformers,a precise challenge with real physicality thanks to DK’s heavy, thudding movement. Its varied levels always take care to create a sense of place, while the soundtrack is still one of the best of its era. This deal isn’t the best we’ve seen, but it’s the game’s largest discount since last holiday season.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong for $30 ($20 off): This Switch remake of the Game Boy Advance puzzler Mario vs. Donkey Kong has the kind of polish and charm you’d expect from a first-party Nintendo game. While it never quite hits the highs of its all-timer predecessor — Donkey Kong for the Game Boy — its mini-challenges are thoughtfully constructed and do well to build on themselves over time. On top of its redone visuals, the remake adds an easier difficulty mode and a local co-op option. It’s a fairly short game, but this deal matches the best price we’ve tracked.

Pikmin 4 for $40 ($20 off): Pikmin 4 is an ideal starting point to Nintendo’s whimsical real-time strategy series, in which you command a small army of tiny plant-like creatures to explore areas, fight enemies and collect treasures. It’s loaded with stuff to do and generally easier than past entries for newcomers to pick up and play, though it may trend a bit too easy for series veterans. You do get a cute “space dog,” however. This matches the best deal we’ve seen over the last couple of years.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 for $40 ($20 off): The ghost-hunting adventure game Luigi’s Mansion 3 puts Mario’s scaredy-cat brother in the spotlight as he tries to rescue his friends from a haunted hotel. It doesn’t have the most precise controls and can get a bit repetitive by the end, but its Pixar-esque visuals, creative level designs and fun co-op help it do more good than bad. It’s a particularly nice choice for kids. This is another game we wish Nintendo would sell for less these days, but this $20 discount is about as cheap as it’s been this year.

Nintendo

Echoes of Wisdom makes a few daring changes to the usual Zelda formula, as it (finally) makes the titular princess the protagonist and blends the sort of freeform puzzle-solving of Tears of the Kingdom with the top-down perspective of earlier 2D entries in the series. This isn’t the largest discount we’ve tracked, but it’s the best price we’ve seen since Black Friday or so.

It Takes Two for $20 ($20 off): It Takes Two is the spiritual predecessor to Split Fiction and another critically acclaimed 3D adventure that’s only playable in co-op. It’s not quite as action-heavy as its follow-up, which makes it a bit more accessible for anyone to pick up and play. Like Split Fiction, it constantly throws new ideas at the player. Also like that game, the writing can occasionally be obnoxious — this one’s about a soon-to-be-divorced couple who’ve become trapped in two of their daughter’s toy dolls — and some levels tend to drag. Still, there just aren’t many co-op games that are this fleshed out, and what’s here is more fun than not. This discount is only a few bucks off the best price to date for the Nintendo Switch version.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for $20 ($20 off): Mario Kart World is more polished (and popular), but the latest Sonic kart racer is still a fine alternative with a higher sense of speed, more dynamic track designs, greater customization options and less overall restraint. This is the best price we’ve tracked for the original Switch copy. The same goes for the Switch 2 version, though that one is only down to $40.

Prime Day Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 accessory deals

tomtoc

A recommendation from our guide to the best Switch 2 accessories, this slim yet sturdy case from Tomtoc does well to protect Nintendo’s console without adding too much bulk in a travel bag. It uses a soft, felt-like material on the inside and has a small cushion at the top to keep the device in place without putting excessive pressure on the Switch 2’s trigger and bumper buttons. It can also store up to 12 game cartridges. This deal beats the previous best price we’ve seen by a dollar.

8BitDo Pro 3 wireless controller for $46 ($24 off): The 8BitDo Pro 3 is a solid alternative to Nintendo’s Switch 2 Pro Controller with a tight d-pad, comfy grips, firm (if slightly clicky) face buttons and a fun retro aesthetic that looks like a cross between the Super NES’ and PS5’s gamepads. It works on PCs and mobile devices in addition to Nintendo’s consoles, and it’s loaded with extra features, from trigger locks and an included charging dock to magnetic TMR joysticks that should avoid drifting over time. This deal isn’t the absolute lowest price we’ve seen, but it’s still cheaper than the controller’s usual discount price. Just note that there’s no headphone jack, and it makes you do a goofy “shake” motion to wake the Switch 2 from sleep mode.

8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth wireless controller for $51 ($19 off): The Ultimate 2 Bluetooth has most of the same features as the Pro 3 — drift-resistant joysticks, trigger locks, a dedicated charging dock, extra customizable buttons, a useful companion app — only it comes in an Xbox-style shape with offset joysticks. It may feel a touch too small for those with large hands, but many folks prefer this kind of design for first-person shooters and other modern games. (It also has a higher polling rate, though that probably won’t matter unless you’re super into competitive-minded games.) This discount is a few bucks lower than the gamepad’s usual sale price. If you take the plunge, just make sure you update the controller’s firmware to ensure it works with the Switch 2 smoothly.

Samsung

If you want to add storage space to a Nintendo Switch 2, you need a microSD Express card. We have a whole buying guide for those, but the TL;DR version is that just about every card we’ve tested performs similarly within actual games, with the only major differences coming when you transfer games to or from the system’s storage. So much of the time, your best bet is to buy the least expensive card you can find in the capacity you want.

This option from Samsung went for much less before the ongoing storage crisis hit, but its current price just about makes it the cheapest 256GB model we can find right now. It also comes from a reliable manufacturer, whereas a similarly-priced option like Walmart’s Onn card is a rebadged version of another model.

Nintendo Switch 2 Camera for $30 ($25 off): You don’t need Nintendo’s official USB camera to utilize the Switch 2’s GameChat video-calling feature — plenty of third-party webcams can work just as well and provide even better video quality. But if you don’t have a decent model handy, Nintendo’s cam is simple to set up and shouldn’t be an eyesore on your desk or TV stand. It puts out a basic 1080p image, but its roughly 110-degree viewing angle means it can keep a couchful of people in frame, plus it has a built-in privacy cover. That said, it’s pretty much useless unless you have the Switch 2 docked, while GameChat itself can still look choppy in motion. That makes the camera a harder sell at its usual going rate, but it should be more palatable at this discounted price, which matches the best we’ve tracked.

Razer BlackShark V3 Pro wireless gaming headset for $171 ($79 off): The BlackShark V3 Pro doesn’t sound as spacious or accurate as the top picks in our gaming headset guide, but its V-shaped sound gives in-game explosions a nice sense of impact, it comes with a decent ANC mode and its mic does well to keep your voice sounding natural. It’s also highly comfortable, with soft padding on the ear cups and a light clamp around your head. This discount ranks among the lowest prices we’ve seen in the past year. Just note that you’ll probably want to connect over Bluetooth when using the Switch or Switch 2 in handheld mode, since the included dongle isn’t particularly compact.
