Here's a great price for a Nintendo Switch with Animal Crossing: New Horizons

A Switch and one of the console's best games is now £300.

Update: Sad times! The Nintendo Switch and Animal Crossing: New Horizons bundle we picked out in this post has now sold out. However, you can still get a Nintendo Switch Lite with Animal Crossing for £219.99.

The next best deal on the original console is a Nintendo Switch with Paper Mario: The Origami King for £309.99.

If that's not quite the right one for you, don't forget you can always keep up with all the best Nintendo Switch deals right here, too!


Original story: Stock levels for the Nintendo Switch have slowly been returning to normal over the last couple of weeks, though there weren't a great many deals out there if you were looking to save a few quid. But now, finally, here's one of the best Nintendo Switch deals we've seen for some time.

Over at Amazon UK, you can get a Nintendo Switch with a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons for £300. Normally you'd be paying £280 for a Switch alone, so you're essentially getting a copy of one of the console's best games for half price! It's easily better than any of the other Nintendo Switch deals currently doing the rounds.

It's a Nintendo Switch bundle that's been available elsewhere, but the likes of Currys PC World and the Nintendo Official UK Store are selling it for at least an extra £20 more - essentially asking you to pay the full price for Animal Crossing.

According to Amazon, stock will be dispatched from today so it won't be long until the console will be in your hands. This date could creep up by a few days if the bundle proves to be popular, so don't hesitate too long if you want your Switch to arrive sharpish. Chances are it will be, considering that over 22 million copies of Animal Crossing: New Horizons have been sold since launch.

It's one of a handful of Switch bundles currently available at the mega-retailer. I've put a couple of the other standout ones below, though this Animal Crossing one is arguably the best of the lot. The bundle with Bioshock: The Collection and Borderlands: The Legendary Collection is incredibly good value, though.

It'll be interesting to see if any of these are beaten by the barrage of Nintendo Switch Black Friday offers we expect to see in three month's time - or if there are any surprises during this year's Amazon Prime Day.

This Nintendo Switch bundle is yet another to feature in Amazon's Gaming Week. The event has already thrown out many other excellent offers including a £180 Xbox One X, some big savings on console and PC storage, and a terrific price for a Nintendo Switch SD card. Definitely check out the latter if you're picking up this Switch bundle and want to ensure your console has enough extra space for game installs and downloads.
