Best Nintendo Switch Deals and Bundles

We’ve rounded up the best deals on bundles, consoles, accessories and more for all Nintendo Switch models.

The Nintendo Switch remains a popular system for all sorts of gamers. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a casual first-timer, this handheld console has pretty universal appeal. The system itself is terrific and sports a variety of different models for every playing style. Plus, the Switch boasts an impressive library of games and a wide array of peripherals and accessories, too.

However, when there’s high demand, high prices usually follow, and given the popularity of the system, it can be difficult to get a decent Nintendo Switch deal. That’s why we’ve scoured the internet for the best bundles, bargains and discounts on the Nintendo Switch and everything you need to go with it. Check out the best offers below.

Keep in mind that it’s easier to find deals on Nintendo Switch games than consoles, but every now and then there will be a Nintendo Switch console sale. We also expect to see even more Nintendo Switch deals as the holiday shopping season gets underway, so keep checking back for any new offers that come up.

Special offers and bundles

Deals on consoles

While there aren’t many discounts on Nintendo Switch consoles, these are the various models available. We will continue to update this section as retailers offer discounts and sales to keep you informed of the lowest prices available.

Deals on accessories

What should you look for in a Nintendo Switch deal?

As well as looking for direct price drops on the Nintendo Switch console itself, it’s worth broadening your search for Nintendo Switch bundles. Since the actual hardware rarely falls far from its retail price, these are some of the best ways to save on related accessories that you would have bought anyway. When it comes to Nintendo Switch bundles that include a choice of games, it’s a good idea to check the price of the game available separately to ensure you’re getting the best value.

When are the best Nintendo Switch deals available?

Great Nintendo Switch deals come around very rarely, but the best times to try and find a discount would be during major sales like Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday. The latter sale in particular offers some of the best Nintendo Switch deals of the year as it takes place just before the holiday season and Nintendo Switch makes for a great gift.

Which retailers usually offer the best Nintendo Switch deals?

For most people, the search for a great Nintendo Switch deal should start at Amazon or a big box retailer like Best Buy, Target or Walmart. These major retailers are most likely to offer direct discounts and bundles and often match each other’s deals during major sales. Gaming-specific retailers like GameStop in the US and Game in the UK are also worth keeping tabs on.

Stuck in a Coffee Rut? ChatGPT Can Now Plan Your Next Starbucks Order

Don’t be surprised if the chatbot suggests mixing espresso with lemonade.

If you like getting your daily cup of coffee from Starbucks, you’ll now be able to consult with ChatGPT for your next beverage. Starbucks said on Wednesday that a new Starbucks app in ChatGPT, now in beta, will help you figure out your next order based on your mood or craving in the moment.

Although you won’t be able to order your Starbucks coffee directly through the ChatGPT app, it will suggest drinks and menu items you may enjoy, then direct you to the Starbucks app or website to complete your order.

OpenAI has added a host of other apps you can interact with in ChatGPT since announcing the functionality last year. You can do everything from browsing home listings to designing playlists without leaving the chatbot interface.

You’ll be able to use prompts like, «@Starbucks, I want something bright to start my morning,» or upload an image to describe your mood and location. Once the menu suggestion appears in ChatGPT, you can start the order through the chatbot and then complete it in the Starbucks app or online.

Paul Riedel, senior vice president of digital and loyalty at Starbucks, said in a statement that Starbucks noticed customers weren’t always starting off by looking at the menu. «They’re starting with a feeling,» he said. «We wanted to meet customers right in that moment of inspiration and make it easier than ever to find a drink that fits.»

Starbucks said interacting with ChatGPT lets you personalize your order more and discover menu options you never considered before.

(Disclosure: Ziff Davis, CNET’s parent company, in 2025 filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.)

When I tried out the new feature, I asked it about the oddest beverage combinations you can get at Starbucks. One interesting combo ChatGPT came up with was espresso with lemonade. The AI described another drink as «basically liquid dessert soup,» if that’s more up your alley.
