The Nintendo Switch OLED is down to £305

This a modest saving of a fiver so its by no means a massive discount, but this is the cheapest we've seen the console selling for on its own during the festive period, and that includes Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

If you'd prefer to pick up the Nintendo Switch OLED with some games as part of a bundle, there are some great Nintendo Switch OLED deals available right now. GAME has both colour variants of the Switch OLED in stock, and you can grab either console with a copy of Pikmin 3: Deluxe for just £319.99.

That means you're getting the Eurogamer-recommended Pikmin 3 for just £15, which was recommended by the Eurogamer team in its Pikmin 3: Deluxe review and is worth revisiting if you've played the Wii U version. You'll struggle to find the Switch version of the game for less than £30, too, making this is a decent deal.

Finally, if you want to pick up some cheap Nintendo Switch games in the run-up to Christmas, there are some fantastic Nintendo Switch deals over at Currys right now. You can pick up the likes of Pokemon Sword/Shield, Mario Kart 8: Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario 3D World, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and even Metroid Dread for just £37.
