The Nintendo Switch 2 is only a little over a month old, so the best Amazon Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals this year aren't going to heavily feature Ninty's shiny new handheld.
If you're expecting to see any cash shaved off the Switch 2, you're gonna have to wait until a little later on in the console's lifespan. All is not lost, however, as while the console will remain at full price for a while, there are still a ton of Switch 2 accessories for less than $25 on Amazon right this very second.
Everything from the 4Gamers Travel Kit, which is just $24.99 at Amazon to JSAUX's USB-C Switch 2 charger is down to just $17.99 on Amazon - all before Prime Day officially kicks off on July 8. None of the big-ticket items like games or the Pro controller are under that $25 sweet spot, but these early Prime Day deals prove you can still build a high-end Ninty setup without the high-end cost.
Should you buy Nintendo Switch 2 accessories?
As one of the best gaming handhelds, the Nintendo Switch 2 comes with everything you need to set it up right in the box (other than your smart TV and electricity of course) so no one ever really needs to buy extra accessories. That being said, if you want to keep your pricey bit of tech safe and protected, make it easier to carry around, or simply just add new ways to play during your day-to-day Nintendo gaming life, adding extra goodies into your setup can make your life a lot easier, and a whole lot more fun.
Grabbing one of the best Nintendo Switch cases that's also compatible with the Switch 2 can go a long way in keeping it safe. If you mostly play in handheld mode, keeping it sitting on a table between Mario Kart World sessions leaves it open to accidental damage of all kinds, but so long as it's in a case like the one included in the 4Gamers Travel Kit above, it's hopefully going to keep out of harms way.
Plus, the 4Gamers case also comes with extra game storage, as do a lot of Switch 2 cases on the market right now, so they come in handy in other ways too. Screen protectors are also a great bit of added protection, and with the Orzly pack above, you get 4 in total. They aren't the easiest to apply, but at least with a whole pack of them, there's plenty of room for error.
As was the case with the best Nintendo Switch accessories last generation, whether you need extras for your Switch 2 setup depends on what you play and how you play. For example, anyone with kids or younger Nintendo fans in their family is going to get a lot of use out of steering wheel controllers for Mario Kart World like the ones by AIfasterfly, but anyone who prefers racing with a Pro controller won't get a lot of use out of them.
Whatever way you play, at least this generation, you don't need to fork out a lot of cash to get hold of high-quality Switch 2 accessories. And, if these less than $25 Ninty discounts have proven anything, it's that there's going to be plenty more Switch 2 accessory deals once Prime Day is up and running.
