The Nintendo Switch OLED Model is cheaper than ever for Prime Day
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.
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.
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.
