When is Amazon Prime Day 2025?
Amazon will have its annual Prime Day sale from July 8 through the 11th. Other retailers like Best Buy and Walmart will be having competing sale events around the same time, which means you’ll be able to shop around for the very best discounts on all things Nintendo.
Are Nintendo Switch/Switch 2 consoles, games, and accessories really cheaper on Prime Day?
While Nintendo is notoriously stingy when it comes to any sort of markdown or sale, the best time to find the deepest discounts is during Black Friday and holiday shopping sale events as console bundles and popular game titles are more likely to go on sale. Games and third-party accessories like headsets and controllers will see decent sale prices during Prime Day, but your best bet to save on consoles is to go the refurbished route.
How did we choose these Prime Day deals?
Not all gaming sales are created equal, and not every retailer will offer markdowns on things like Nintendo Switch consoles or Nintendo Switch 2 bundles. But many will offer steep markdowns on accessories like controllers and headsets as well as a variety of game titles. So I chose the steepest discounts on the most popular and trusted names in console gaming and combed the Nintendo eShop for digital deals on popular games.
