Amazon's Big Spring Sale is offering some sturdy discounts on third party Nintendo Switch 2 games and accessories right now, but there's plenty going on across the web this week. Walmart's got its own competing sale running, Woot's out-performing its parent store in original Switch games, and there's a whole bunch of pre-orders out there at the moment.

Deals were my bread and butter when I first started out, jumping on our sister site TechRadar's team as a dedicated Deals Editor. These days I'm testing all the latest and greatest Nintendo Switch 2 releases with a keen eye for value and a nose for a saving. I've kitted out Switch, Switch OLED, and now Switch 2 setups over the years, hunting down the greatest accessories and weeding out the tat so that you don't have to.

Do you need a $60 Nintendo Switch 2 case?
Some of the best Nintendo Switch 2 cases take their low price points in stride, but not Belkin's.
The Charging Case looks to rectify one of the handheld's biggest issues, dropping a 10,000mAh portable charger right into the clamshell itself. That keeps your device topped up with power throughout the day, excellent for those playing on the go.
It's a premium option, for sure. If you already have an extra battery pack to hand it's not going to make too much sense (in that case I'd recommend the PowerA Slim case, $19.99 at Amazon).
However, for those without an existing charger it's well worth the extra investment.

Amazon's all out of Mario Kart bundles
It looks like the $499.99 Mario Kart World bundle might be off the shelves for good. The launch package was originally supposed to end its run back in October last year, but managed to stay the course right up until 2026. I've seen it readily available in the last few weeks, but that seems to have come to an end.
There are no bundles available at Amazon, Walmart, or Best Buy right now (at least not for the price you should be paying), so it looks like it's a solo endeavour for anyone hunting down a new handheld.

How good can a $20 headset be, really?
The Turtle Beach Airlite Fit is a budget saviour, and it's less than $20 in Amazon's Big Spring Sale. I see a lot of cheap tat on these shelves, though, and this ain't it.
The Airlite Fit was a pleasant surprise in testing, packing sturdy sound quality into an affordable price tag with comfortable cups and a workable flip-to-mute microphone. Of course, you're not getting the fancier features of something like the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 Wireless (now $89.99 at Amazon), but this is a headset that puts your $20 to excellent use.
I'd primarily recommend it to folks who just want to play uninterrupted. If you need a quick and easy set of cups to keep your audio in your ears and nobody else's this is the play right now. If you're looking to squeeze the best sound out of your library, though, it's worth moving a little further up the price scale.

Over to Woot!
Woot might not be taking part in the Big Spring Sale, but it is an Amazon company and it's offering some better prices on previous generation Nintendo Switch games right now. Whether you're looking to save by picking up a cheaper cart and upgrading it to the Switch 2 version later or you're still running the OG console, there's some gold in these mines.
We'll kick things off with some Mario.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder | $59.99 $46.99 at Woot
Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 | $59.99 $54.99 at Woot
This is the cheapest way to get Pokemon Legends: Z-A, no matter your console
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Pokemon Legends: Z-A is still rock solid at $69.99, but Woot has a discount on the OG version that offers up a far more compelling alternative.
The cart has just dropped down to $44.99 on this second set of shelves, great for classic handheld owners but still a sturdy discount for those with the new device as well. That's because the Switch 2 upgrade pack for this title comes in at $9.99 by itself. Add that to the cart price and you're paying just $54.98 for the exact same experience.

PSA: Yoshi and the Mysterious Book pre-orders are now live
I bring news of new releases, amidst my deal hunting. Amazon has Yoshi and the Mysterious Book pre-orders live on the shelves for anyone looking to get ahead of that May 21 release date. That's with a pre-order price guarantee so, should the rate drop before launch, you won't be overpaying. That almost never happens, mind.

Let's talk cheap controllers
I reviewed the PowerA Advantage Wired Controller at launch, comparing it directly against the official Switch 2 Pro Controller. It's obvious where the extra spend goes. No, the Advantage isn't going to hold up against the Pro's dense, solid feel, excellent thumbsticks and soft, but still tactile, buttons. I also had a small qualm about its original $39.99 MSRP. In the face of competitors, it still felt a little too high.
At $25, though, this gamepad is exactly where it needs to be. This is a stock-up-and-play controller, or one for those looking to ditch the Joy-Con in docked mode, opting instead for a more traditional layout that doesn't break the bank. It feels hollow in the hands and has a strange button placement that I could never get used to but you're still getting some solid back buttons, extra audio controls, and everything you need to play your favorite games.
It's no easy recommendation at full MSRP, but considering it's rarely at that position these days it's easily the best budget option on the market right now.

The cheapest Nintendo Switch on Amazon's shelves
A renewed original Nintendo Switch represents the cheapest way to get your hands on a Ninty device at Amazon right now, with the $214 price tag undercutting even the non-dockable Switch Lite ($229).
Of course, you're dropping Switch 2-specific features like 4K docked mode, GameChat, magnetic controllers, and an FHD handheld display - but if you're catching up on some older classics on a budget it's one of the better prices I've seen so far.

PSA: Assassin's Creed Shadows is $15 off, but it's been cheaper in the past
Assassin's Creed Shadows made a splash when it landed on Nintendo Switch 2 late last year, but the Ubisoft release hasn't been impervious to price drops. The $59.99 starting price has sailed as low as $32 in the past, hitting that record-low earlier this month.
Amazon's Big Spring Sale isn't pushing the boat out on this one. You'll find it for $15 off its listing price (down to $44.99), but you're still spending more than you would have done a couple of weeks ago.
PDP Riffmaster Nintendo Switch edition drops to its lowest price yet
The PDP Riffmaster Nintendo Switch edition has just sailed down to $99.99 at Amazon, breaking past the $100 barrier for only the second time in its Big Spring Sale. While Guitar Hero might not be on the agenda anymore, the Riffmaster is a go-to for Fortnite Festival. The controller only diverts from its original MSRP every now and then - it's a full price gadget day to day.
With a foldable design and fantastic fret buttons, this is a true modern retelling of the age-old Guitar Hero controller.

Breath of the Wild is on sale once again, and it's still cheaper with an upgrade pack
The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild deals are few and far between, but every now and then (with more regularity these days) Woot drops this bad boy.
You can pick up the original Switch version of the open world adventure for $43.99 right now, down the $55 - $60 price I tend to see day to day. That's a rare offer, but it also adds in room for the $9.99 Switch 2 upgrade. Both together come in at $53.98 - still cheaper than Amazon's current $69 price tag on the full cart.

This Nintendo Switch 2 bundle is at the top of Amazon's 'Movers & Shakers' list, but there's better value elsewhere
Now that the Mario Kart World bundle has been run off the shelves, Amazon is doing its usual thing of packing in a full-price (or in this case, slightly more expensive) game and calling it a bundle. This $518.36 offering puts Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 at about $69 when purchased with the $449.99 console, but Woot has a better offer.
You'll find the game available by itself for $54.99 over there right now, throw it in with a Switch 2 and you're only paying $504.98 for the same package.

A massive discount on Little Nightmares 3 Deluxe Edition
Find Little Nightmares 3 Deluxe Edition at Amazon and you'll be slapped with a $49.19 sales price, head on over to its sister site Woot!, though, and the very same game can be yours for just $21.99. There's more than $20 in between these two rates, which just goes to show how far Woot! can take you when it comes to Nintendo Switch 2 game deals.

An oldie but a goodie
The Razer Barracuda X has been a Nintendo Switch favorite since it was updated to add a Bluetooth connection a few years ago. This is a classic discount as well, dropping the $99.99 MSRP down to $67.29. It's not every day you find a wireless gaming headset that cheap so, while it may have been superseded on paper by the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 Wireless (currently $89.99 at Amazon), it's still easily in the fight.
