Memorial Day Nintendo Switch deals are here, with discounts on everything from consoles to accessories and games on the shelves. We've got a full weekend's worth of discounts to shop this holiday season.
The Nintendo Switch 2 will make its debut just over a week after this year's offers and, should retailers be looking to shift inventory of the original consoles, prices could plummet on these handhelds by the end of the month. That's not guaranteed, Nintendo hardware does hold its value particularly well, but if there was ever a time the existing family was going to nosedive in price it'd be now.
Games and accessories are also be up for grabs, with older releases like Breath of the Wild and Animal Crossing New Horizons seeing some significant discounts. New titles are also muscling in, though, with Donkey Kong Country Returns HD and Mario Party Jamboree leading the way.
If you're holding off on that Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order, there's be plenty to choose from already.

FAQ
When do Memorial Day Nintendo Switch deals start?
Memorial Day Nintendo Switch deals should officially kick off on Monday May 26, but realistically I often see these sales starting well ahead of that date. Offers generally start landing around a week before Memorial Day itself, before ramping up towards the weekend.
When will Memorial Day Nintendo Switch deals end?
While many may assume this is a one-day affair, Memorial Day sales actually tend to take up around two weeks. That earlier start time leads in with softer savings, and once the holiday is over I often see retailers extending their sales through the week afterwards as well.
Which retailers will be best for Memorial Day Nintendo Switch deals 2025?
The likes of Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart are all strong bets for the best Nintendo Switch discounts. Amazon often offers great discounts on consoles and software with its subsidiary, Woot, also putting up a limited number of stock at record-low prices.
Nintendo itself is known for offering limited-time holiday deals, usually putting up one specific bundle – just like the Mario Day bundle – and will likely do so again. It also typically slashes the price of numerous of its first-party titles by 20% to 30%. Digital downloads are also another way to go, often being cheaper than physical copies.
Amazon: discounts across OLED and Lite models
Best Buy: daily deals and clearance sales
CDKeys: up to 60% off digital games
What to expect from Memorial Day Nintendo Switch deals in 2025
It's already a big year for the Nintendo Switch, and Memorial Day is particularly well timed for those who aren't going all in on the new handheld. This year's sale will land just over a week before the new generation's June 5 release date, which means we could see retailers discounting their existing handhelds a little further.
Those devices take up space and stores may well want to free up shelving for the new release, which means better Memorial Day Nintendo Switch deals for you and me.
The Nintendo Switch OLED has clung onto its $349.99 MSRP for some time now, but the last few years have seen it dip down to around $330 with far more regularity. These days you'll likely find it at around $299 - $310, but it's been as cheap as $269 in the past.
The standard Switch may well surge in popularity among those looking to get involved in Ninty's catalog but without dropping $450 on the new model. This $299.99 handheld has seen a few discounts, the deepest dropping it to $259.99, but it's not on sale as regularly as the OLED model.
If you're going as cheap as possible, the Nintendo Switch Lite does have its moments. The $199 handheld-only version suffers a little from low stock, though, which means you might not find the colorway you're after straight away. Still, regular discounts keep refurbished devices at around $160 - $180 day to day and there are still some Animal Crossing New Horizons bundles out there.
Games might not see the same kind of rush-discounts as handhelds in Memorial Day Nintendo Switch deals this year. That's because the Switch 2 is backwards compatible with most of them, so value is still on the retailers' side right now.
Still, considering I've seen games like The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Super Mario Party Jamboree dropping their prices far quicker than Super Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe ever did, there will likely still be discounts on the shelves.
We're rounding up plenty more offers across Nintendo Switch Lite deals and showing you all the best Nintendo Switch accessories to pair your new console with. Or, for more discounts, we're also rounding up the best Memorial Day PS5 deals and best Memorial Day Meta Quest deals.
