The Best Nintendo Switch Deals on Consoles, Games, and Bundles of 2020

The Nintendo Switch was the best selling console of 2019 and we're not surprised at all. The Switch was released nearly 3 years again and still no other console is able to match the Switch's versatility. In addition, the already stellar gaming library has been bolstered with several high quality games in 2019, including Pokemon Sword and Shield, Super Mario Maker 2, Link's Awakening, Ring Fit, and much more. With increased pressure from Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo is likely to be more aggressive with deals and promotions during 2020. Check here for all the best deals on Nintendo Switch consoles, accessories, and games.

33% Off Nintendo Switch Digital Games on Amazon

Amazon dropped the prices on the digital editions of these popular games. Go digital and you don't need to carry around any of the cartridges; the games are all stored on your Switch.

Gamestop Nintendo Switch Spring Sale

Gamestop is offering the best prices on several Nintendo Switch titles. Better yet, get the preowned copy and save a few more dollars! The list includes some of the top Switch titles like Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2, and Kirby Star Allies.

New Release: Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Reviewed)

We've published our review of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and not suprisingly, this game is "Amazing". If you liked Stardew Valley, this one should be right up your alley.

Nintendo Switch Lite In Stock at Best Buy and Walmart

Thanks to the shelter-in-place policy, gaming consoles are clearing off shelves. Fortunately, Best Buy and Walmart has resupplied their online inventory of the Nintendo Switch Lite. The newest color in the Nintendo Switch Lite lineup is available for preorder. It's out on April 3. The Switch Lite is $100 less than the Switch and can play almost all of the same games. The Switch Lite can play the same titles as the original Nintendo Switch. It's lighter and the controls are non-detachable, although it is still compatible with Joy-Cons or the Switch Pro controller if you buy them separately. The only caveat is that you can't play in docked mode (i.e. on a TV), but for the majority of you who plan to play the Switch on the go, this is a small price to pay

HORI Nintendo Switch Fighting Stick Mini: Street Fighter II Edition for $44.99

This fight stick is officially licensed by both Nintendo and Capcom and features Cammy and Chun-Li artwork. It's great for games like Street Fighter: 30th Anniversary Collection, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Mortal Kombat 11, and more, but note that it won't work for Smash Bros.

8BitDo SN30 Bluetooth Gamepad for $23.95

Nintendo direct is selling refurbished SNES and NES Classic Edition consoles at a discount. The SNES Classic is currently selling for $69.99 (MSRP $80) and the NES Classic is $49.99 (MSRP $60). Since these systems are sold out everywhere else, this is easily the best way to obtain one without paying scalpers' prices.

Nintendo explicitly states "We think you will find the standards for Authentic Nintendo Refurbished Products are VERY high."

Nintendo Switch V2 for $299.99

switchcomparisonEven if there are no Switch console deals, the least we can do is make sure you get the V2 model. The version 2 model boasts about 2 more hours of battery life, which is certainly not insignificant. It raises the battery expectancy from 2.5-7 hours to 4.5-9 hours. It might be confusing to some people because many stores still sell the older model alongside the new one. The easiest way to tell if you're getting the V2 model is the packaging. The new V2 model has a new box with a predominantly Mario red color.
