Amazon Prime Day is the best time to save money on a Nintendo Switch OLED during a time when there aren’t any deals on the last-gen console (however, there are some other great gaming deals). Right now, you can get one with neon red and blue Joy-Con for the all-time low price of $249 ($100 off) at Woot. Alternatively, you get the console bundled with a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for $275 ($75 off) at Woot. These are both international models; they’ll work totally fine in the US (Switch games are region-free), but they don’t have a 1-year Nintendo warranty, just a 90-day one provided by Woot.

Description: The Nintendo Switch OLED packs in a bunch of subtle refinements, including a 7-inch OLED display, improved audio performance, and a better kickstand.
Nintendo’s popular hybrid game console still has a lot to offer eight years after launch (even with the Nintendo Switch 2 being available). The OLED model stands above even the Switch 2’s with better contrast and more vivid colors, and its wider kickstand is leagues ahead of the original non-OLED Switch.
One of the best things about the Switch is its incredible game library. You can play blockbuster games, including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and beloved indies like Hollow Knight and Celeste.
If you want to brush up on gaming history, you can pick up a year-long subscription to Nintendo Switch Online plus Expansion Pack for $80 at Best Buy. This service includes access to a growing library of games originally released on the NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, and Sega Genesis. Upcoming games, including Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will be released for the Nintendo Switch, so there’s still plenty of life left in the system.Sign up for Installer
If you plan on building up a sizable digital game library, you’ll need a microSD card to hold all of them. Samsung’s 512GB microSD card is $28.49 at Amazon, its lowest price ever for Prime Day. PowerA’s Enhanced wired controller is down to $19.09 ($8 off) at Amazon, and is easy to recommend if you play a lot of local multiplayer games.
