Whether you're looking for the latest deals on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite and Nintendo Switch OLED consoles or you're trying to save money on the best-selling titles, you'll find all of the best Nintendo Switch deals right here.

Below, you'll find our picks for the top Nintendo Switch bundles right now, as well as offers on the Switch Lite and Switch OLED. If you're not already familiar with the key differences between the three consoles, the Switch Lite is a hand-held only version of the Nintendo Switch, while the Nintendo Switch OLED comes with an improved OLED screen and other minor enhancements.

If you've already got a Switch console (or two) at home, there's a vast number of bargains to be found on great games, accessories and more, including Nintendo Switch memory cards to expand the storage space on your console and Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions, which now include access to a decent selection of Nintendo 64 and Sega Mega Drive games if you opt for the premium tier service.

A few Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite deals are already starting to come down in price and these might get even better with time now that the Switch OLED has been released, though deals may be in shorter supply after plenty were snapped up last month.

Best Nintendo Switch bundle deals UK

In the UK, a good idea is to try the Nintendo Store to build your own best Nintendo Switch bundle deal. As a direct supplier of the console, they generally have the best availability and range of options. All three versions of the console are currently in stock

Elsewhere, we've seen the likes of Amazon and Currys offer up some good Switch deals over the recent months. GAME has some decent Nintendo Switch bundles too, where you can get Pikmin 3: Deluxe or Paper Mario: The Origami King bundled with a new Switch OLED or the original Switch model for just £10 on top.

Best Nintendo Switch bundle deals US

If you're here from the US, Nintendo Switch stock seems to be coming back into stock more regularly. Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy have the Neon Switch console in stock for around $300. Somehow, GameStop and My Nintendo Store US have the Animal Crossing limited edition console in stock! There's also a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle available for $349 at Amazon US but if you don't mind picking up your order at in-store, GameStop is selling the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Nintendo Switch bundle for $300 (stock will likely vary on a regional basis).

Best Nintendo Switch Lite deals

In the UK

While the original Nintendo Switch and the latest Nintendo Switch OLED consoles are available pretty much everywhere, Nintendo Switch Lite consoles are becoming increasingly harder to find. Stock is trickling in from time to time, though, and you can currently pick up the handheld-only console on its own at Amazon, Currys and ShopTo. The best bundle we've found at the time of writing is at Very, which includes the choice of a Turquoise, Gray or Coral Nintendo Switch Lite console with physical copies of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Animal Crossing for £280.

While the standard Switch dropped to a lower RRP last year, the Nintendo Switch Lite's price has stayed relatively the same. If you're able to stretch your budget a little further, we'd recommend grabbing an original Nintendo Switch model or spend a little extra on the latest OLED console instead, especially as one of the Nintendo Switch Lite's biggest selling points was its cheaper price. Alternatively, you can always grab a pre-owned console from GAME, CEX - just make sure you're happy with the condition of the console before purchasing.

In the US

Switch Lite stock is (finally) becoming easier to find again the US, too. Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy mostly have the Coral and Turquoise colour variants available for around $200.

Best Nintendo Switch OLED deals

The Nintendo Switch OLED has seen some surprising good deal bundles despite only launching on 8th October 2021. Stock has returned to multiple retailers in the UK, although it still remains scarce in the US. We recommend keeping an eye on the Jelly Deals Twitter for updates on when new stock is live.

The Switch OLED is currently £305 at Amazon UK. It's not the cheapest it's been but it's the cheapest place to buy the upgraded Nintendo console online at the time of writing.

In the UK

US

Last month, the Switch OLED was making a more regular appearance at Amazon US so we can hopefully expect to have restocks again this month.

Best Nintendo Switch game deals

Usually, it's hard to find first-party Nintendo Switch games for any less than their RRP, but the last couple of months has seen some great savings on some of the Nintendo Switch's best-selling titles, some of which are available from £35.

The US has got some fantastic deals too, particularly at GameStop where you can save anywhere from 25 to 40 percent off on a range of first-party titles, including Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey.

We've gathered up offers on all the best Nintendo Switch games we can find this month. These are some essential Switch games that you'll absolutely want to pick up with your new console.

You might also want to visit the Nintendo eShop which regularly holds sales on various digital games from major releases to small indie gems. There's a lot to wade through but if you're sorting from the lowest you can even get some stone-cold indie classics for as little as a quid!

For those of you in the US, check out these similar deals.

Best Joy-Con deals

The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con are an expensive bit of kit and are rarely discounted - especially when it comes to some of the limited editions or unique colour combinations. That said, you can sometimes find some money off here and there. With that in mind, if you're after more Joy-Con, we've gathered up some of the best Joy-Con deals below.

For the most part, the Joy-Con pair that comes with a Nintendo Switch is enough for two-player multiplayer games, but if you want more friends to play locally on the same console on games like Mario Party Superstars or Mario Kart 8, you're gonna need another Joy-Con pair. Alternatively, if you regretted not getting the neon Switch and want to change up your dull grey Joy-Con, you can always pick these up separately.

Best Nintendo Switch SD card deals

If you find yourself more compelled to download games from the eShop for convenience, your digital library is going to be rather limited by the console's 32GB of internal storage, and even the OLED model's 64GB won't last for long. Instead of constantly deleting and reinstalling games, it pays to have a MicroSD card. These come in a variety of sizes and have been getting cheaper year on year. You can even get hold of a 1TB these days! They'd surely make for a nice gift too.

We've gathered some of the best offers below. You can also find loads more info in Digital Foundry's guide to the best Nintendo Switch SD cards.

Best Nintendo Switch stylus

For the most part, you probably won't need a Nintendo Switch stylus. However, there are a couple of games that benefit greatly from their increased accuracy over one of your digits. So, if you find yourself spending a lot of time designing levels on Super Mario Maker 2 or testing your grey matter on Brain Training then you'll want to pick up one of these. For a more in-depth look, our guide to the best Nintendo Switch stylus at Jelly Deals has everything else you need to know.

We'll be back to update this page regularly with all the best Nintendo Switch deals that pop up. You can also check out our gifts for gamers guide or pop to Jelly Deals for the best Nintendo Switch power banks and give us a follow over at our Jelly Deals Twitter page.
