Want to shop the best Nintendo Switch deals online? Here’s a roundup of the lowest prices we’re seeing for the console at Amazon and Walmart. As with all deals, prices could change at any time so we recommend adding to cart while sale prices are live and product is in stock.
GREAT DEAL
Nintendo Switch with Gray Joy‑Con
Amazon has the Nintendo Switch on sale for just over 10% off. This deal gets you the portable gaming console with 6.2-inch LCD screen plus a detachable gray Joy-Con controller. Amazon also has renewed Switch models on sale from $230 here.
EDITOR’S CHOICE
Nintendo Switch OLED
The Nintendo Switch OLED, which is on sale for $274, or $75 off, at Walmart, is the premium version of the gaming console. It features a 7-inch OLED touchscreen display for crisp and sharp images for an even more immersive experience when playing on the go.
ALSO CONSIDER
Nintendo Switch Lite
On sale for $179 (reg. $199) at Walmart, the Nintendo Switch Lite (in yellow) is a more portable version of the console. It’s meant to be taken with you, so it’s lighter, the controllers cannot be removed, and it’s smaller with a 5.5-inch display for easy gaming on the go. This is the one we personally use on our daily commutes on the subway and when traveling.
LIMITED-EDITION
Nintendo Switch Lite
Finally, the limited-edition Nintendo Switch Lite: Hyrule Edition comes in gold with a Hyrule design from The Legend of Zelda. It’s on sale for $194, or just under 20% off, at Walmart.
All of the Nintendo Switch models listed above from Walmart are the Japanese versions, but they’re region unlocked, so you can play American games with them.
And since these Nintendo Switch models are from Walmart, you’ll get it shipped to you for free if you’re a Walmart+ member. Otherwise, your cart has to be more than $35 to get free shipping.
If you’re not a member, then you’re in luck: You can sign up for a 30-day free trial to take advantage of everything the retailer’s rewards program has to offer with perks such as free, fast delivery; fuel discounts’ streaming access to Paramount+ to watch hit originals; additional savings with early access deals and much more.
In addition, Walmart+ comes with access to SiriusXM for all sorts of talk radio and music — including popular channels like “The Coffee House” for stripped-down songs from Noah Kahan, Kacey Musgraves, The Lumineers, Phoebe Bridgers and others. Learn more about what Walmart+ can offer you here.
The new Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to arrive in June and pre-orders are already available online. It’s expected to be larger than the original console, with magnetic Joy-Cons and designed with more online play available. It’s also likely that the gaming company will add the Nintendo Music app to the console itself, so you can listen to your favorite scores for your favorite games on the console itself. However, we’ll know more about the Nintendo Switch 2 when we get our hands on it.
In the meantime, get the original Nintendo Switch models on sale for up to $70, or up to 20% off list prices, at Walmart.
