The best Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals 2025: big last chance console, game, and accessory discounts

It's time to dive into Cyber Monday

Howdy! As is tradition straight after Black Friday, it's time to jump into Cyber Monday for some second-wind Nintendo Switch deals. The sequel sale really does serve as another chance to grab plenty of the consoles, games, and accessories previously on offer, but there's bound to be plenty of new offers making the rounds. I'll be hunting them all down to save you the hassle, so join me as I share all the hottest offers and highlights available now.

One of the few third-party Switch 2 docks is now 30% cheaper

The Switch 2 is sadly allergic to many existing third-party docks out there, but this SIWIQU cradle does work and is now going for $25. The discount helps bring the accessory down to a more approachable price, as it'll normally set you back over $30, which isn't ideal if you just want a cheap secondary way to hook up to an external TV or monitor.

This gadget will give your OG Switch graphics a glow up

Many of you will still be rocking an original Nintendo Switch, and you might even pick one up this Cyber Monday. It's still one of the best gaming handhelds out there, but its docked mode abilities are starting to age. Luckily, the sequel sale is offering up 25% off an mClassic HDMI upscaler that will ramp things up to 1440p on supported monitors and help smooth things out using a baked-in anti-aliasing algorithm. It won't magically help the portable look like a Switch 2, but it does work wonders for the console's lower resolution visuals.

Marseille mClassic | $99.99 $74.99 at Amazon

Looking for the cheapest Switch? You'll want to jump on renewed discounts!

Right now, the majority of Switch discounts will apply to games and accessories. If you are looking for a console, though, you can save on renewed OLED and Lite models. Amazon has the former for 22% less than new, and Best Buy has knocked the latter to under $180. Yes, you could take to second-hand sites and find used units yourself, but sticking with retailers does at least mean you'll get a backup guarantee and some reassurance that they've been refurbished and tested.

Nintendo Switch Lite | $199.99 $199.99 at Best Buy
Nintendo Switch OLED | $359.55 $279 at Amazon

One of my favorite indie cat capers is back down to its lowest price

There's an endless number of indie games for the Switch, but Stray is absolutely up there with my favorites. I mean, who wouldn't want to roam around an apocalyptic landscape as a cat? Even my partner's dad picked it up recently and is loving frolicking around as a feline, but if he'd waited for Cyber Monday, he could have grabbed the physical version with bonus art cards for under $30.

This discounted gamepad has replaced my Switch Pro controller

Okay, this is a bit of a hear me out, as this looks like a weird remake of the Sega Saturn controller. It technically is, and that's what makes the Gulikit Elves 2 Pro great in my book, but it also happens to be a phenomenal alternative to the Switch 2 Pro. Not only is it rocking hall-effect thumbsticks and HD haptics, but it can also wake up Ninty's latest console, something even my original Pro controller isn't able to do.

Gulikit Elves 2 Pro controller | $49.99 $39.99 at Amazon

This is the only way to save on the Switch 2 this Cyber Monday

The Mario Kart World bundle is the only way to save on your new handheld this Cyber Monday, with no official discounts on the device itself. A $499 bundle price is much better than the $529 cost of buying both separately, with around $30 still in your back pocket.

I wouldn't expect the Switch 2 to see any major savings in the first year of its life, so Cyber Monday discounts were always a little optimistic.

Nintendo Switch 2 | Mario Kart World | $499 at Amazon

RIP Amiibo deals

The Legend of Zelda Amiibo were down to just $9.99 before the weekend, but those prices have shot up in the last few hours. Best Buy was leading the charge on these offers, but apparently there's no room in Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals for this $20 discount. They're back up at full $29.99 pricing at the yellow-label store, but Walmart does have a few savings on offer still.

This Tears of the Kingdom deal works for both Switch and Switch 2 players

The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is difficult to find on sale even on a good day, but Woot currently has the original version available for $46.99, down from $69.99. That's a deal for original Switch owners but also Switch 2 players.

The $10 upgrade pack gives you the full Switch 2 experience, and picking up both separately is still cheaper than grabbing the full $79.99 new cartridge release. Not only that, but if you've got Nintendo Switch Online with the Expansion Pack you get that upgrade completely free.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom | $69.99 $46.99 at Woot

Should you buy a Nintendo Switch 2 on Cyber Monday?

The Nintendo Switch 2 is the big chaser this Cyber Monday, but - as expected - there aren't any major savings on the handheld itself. If you're looking to upgrade, though, it's still definitely worth a punt.

You're getting a larger, higher resolution screen, far more performance under the hood, and larger, more comfortable Joy-Con with that slick new mouse sensor as well. Again, the best discount continues to stay with the Mario Kart World bundle, but I'm not expecting any further sales to hit this device in the near future.

Nintendo hardware holds its value for an exceedingly long time. It took years for the original to see any savings, and with all that pricing turmoil earlier in the year, I would be surprised if the Switch 2 was any different.

Nothing on the Switch 2 Pro Controller

The official Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller is holding firm on its $89 MSRP this Cyber Monday. That's a shame - this accessory actually held a slightly lower price tag when it was first announced, only for it to be increased inline with US tariffs. I had half my heart set on a $10 discount on this one, we even saw a similar discount on the official Switch 2 Joy-Con last week. For now, this is a full-price buy.

Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller | $89 at Amazon

8BitDo has its own discounts though

If you do want to spend a little less on a traditional gamepad feel this Cyber Monday, the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 is your go-to. The asymmetric controller comes with Switch 2 compatibility and a charging dock straight out the box - all for $55.99 right now. That's $33 cheaper than the official Ninty version.

You are dropping a few rumble features here, but it's still one of Rosalie's go-tos. TMR thumbsticks improve on the original's less durable pad, with an extra ring of RGB lights to play with as well. Those LEDs can drain the battery pretty fast, though, and it's worth noting this controller can't wake the Switch 2 from sleep.

8BitDo Ultimate 2 | $69.99 $55.99 at Amazon

Rosalie's number 1 Nintendo Switch 2 case has never been cheaper

The Belkin Carrying Case is the best we've tested for Nintendo Switch 2 so far, and it's currently shaved its already solid $29.99 MSRP down to $21.99. This is a sturdy clamshell design with plenty of storage space for accessories and carts, and even a slick hidey hole for an Apple AirTag as well. A $6 on-page discount leads the way, but be sure to toggle that $2 coupon for the full saving.

Belkin Carrying Case | $29.99 $21.99 at Amazon

A go-to headset at a record-low price

The Razer Barracuda X was our go-to Nintendo Switch headset for a long time, before SteelSeries stole that value award. It's just taken a record breaking price cut, though, which puts it firmly back into my recommendations list this Cyber Monday.

You'll find this no-fuss wireless gaming headset for $64 at Amazon right now, with an extra $5 coupon dropping us into record-low territory. I generally only ever see these cups at $69 when on sale, down from their original $99.99 MSRP.

Razer Barracuda X | $99.99 $64 at Amazon

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds sees its first discount on Nintendo Switch

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds may have only launched a little while ago, but this Mario Kart competitor is already seeing its own discounts this Cyber Monday. The Nintendo Switch version of the game is now down to $30 at Walmart for the first time ever. This has been a full price release for most of its life up to now - not bad for one of the most fun releases of the year.

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds | $59.99 $30 at Walmart

Don't want a racer?

Sonic X Shadow Generations may be a better hedgehog adventure if you're after more classic Sonic action. Not only that, but this is the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game up on sale.

A $24.99 sale price is one of the cheapest I've seen on these newer carts, grabbing the game and taking full advantage of the system's boosted specs. Generations has trickled down the price scale since it launched, but I've still only ever seen it hovering around the $40 mark. This is a brand new record-low just for the holidays.

Sonic X Shadow Generations | $49.99 $24.99 at Amazon

One for OG Switch owners here

The CRKD Nitro Deck sat amongst our favorite Switch controllers for a long time. It's essentially a shell that the handheld's tablet slots into along its rails (hency why the Switch 2 isn't compatible), providing larger, more comfortable controls compared to the original Joy-Con.

You'll find the Nitro Deck on sale for its best price yet in this weekend's Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals, that $49.99 MSRP giving way to a $37.99 sales price for the first time.

CRKD Nitro Deck | $49.99 $37.99 at Amazon

MicroSD Express cards finally drop their prices

The official Samsung 256GB MicroSD Express card is taking a massive discount this Cyber Monday, dropping its $59.99 MSRP all the way down to $39.99. That's the first time I've seen a $20 discount on this must-have Nintendo Switch 2 accessory.

This card effectively doubles your storage space, and keeps up with the Switch 2's improved speeds to boot. It's at the top of Rosalie's recommendation list, but you'll need to look elsewhere if you need more than 256GB of space.

Samsung 256GB MicroSD Express card | $59.99 $39.99 at Best Buy

Echoes of Wisdom is still on sale at Walmart

Nintendo Switch games have taken a hit since Black Friday officially came to an end, but The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is holding firm at Walmart this weekend. The dungeon-crawling puzzler is available for $30 on these shelves, a rare drop below the usual $50 sale prices I see day to day.

This is more classic Zelda gameplay, just without our hero at the helm. Link has stepped away from the controls and we're playing as the princess herself here.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom | $59.99 $30 at Walmart

The Switch Lite is out in the dark

I haven't seen any deals on the Nintendo Switch Lite worth pulling the trigger on this Cyber Monday. Ninty's cheapest handheld has actually had a tough time recently. The budget device has been difficult to find, and has seen a price increase from $199 to $229 over the course of the year as well.

All that has converged to leave the Switch Lite fully out in the dark this Cyber Monday. The best I can find is a $189.99 sale price on a yellow Japanese version, sold by LFA Mansion via Walmart.

Nintendo Switch Lite | $229.99 $189.99 at Walmart

This is the Nintendo Switch 2 case I'm watching this Cyber Monday

The Belkin Carrying Case might be our favorite standard clamshell for Switch 2, but this charging version is the one I've got my eye on this Cyber Monday. The carry case features a dedicated compartment for a supplied 10,000mAh power bank, which can charge your device while it's in and out of the case. No more running out of juice while the handheld is in sleep mode.

The $69.99 case is more expensive than the rest of the competition, and it hasn't shifted its price once in its life. It's a hail mary, then, but one I'm keeping a close eye on.

Belkin Charging Case for Nintendo Switch 2 | $69.99 at Amazon

Don't sleep on Super Mario RPG

Super Mario RPG is a cheaper game by nature, but even this port can drop its price further. Woot has a $16.50 discount on the remaster, dropping it all the way down to $33.49. That's about as cheap as you'll find a first party Nintendo Switch game this Cyber Monday.

Super Mario RPG | $49.99 $33.49 at Woot

A boosted version of the Nitro Deck featured earlier

Earlier today, I found a new record-low price on one of our favorite gadgets for the original Nintendo Switch, but now I've just spotted the same offer on the new generation version. The CRKD Nitro Deck + has sailed down to $44.99 at Amazon this Cyber Monday, and it even comes with an HDMI connector to make it fully dockable as well.

CRKD Nitro Deck+ | $69.99 $44.99 at Amazon

Why go for the Pro Controller? Wake functionality

Very few Nintendo Switch 2 controllers have the ability to wake your docked handheld from sleep mode. The official Pro gamepad, in fact, is one of the only models with this feature baked in. Its $89 MSRP is a lot to pay for such a luxury, but it can make a big difference, especially when piled in with that luxurious form factor, excellent rumble, and tight thumbstick tensioning. If you don't want to get up, undock your Switch, turn it on, and sit back down again before playing on the big screen it's well worth investigating.

Head to Walmart for Super Mario Galaxy

Prices on this Super Mario Galaxy bumper pack have been all over the place in the last week, but I haven't seen anyone offering Walmart's current rate. The two-pack is available for $59.99 here, $10 off the full $69.99 launch price. I've seen figures hovering around the $62 mark when on sale in the last few days, so this is a record-low on a recent first party release. That's always a recipe for success.

Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 | $69.99 $59.99 at Walmart

Steer clear of these Switch 2 bundles at Best Buy

Don't be fooled by these Nintendo Switch 2 mega-bundles at Best Buy. They're overcharging you.

Take this $719.99 package. You've got the Nintendo Switch 2 ($449.99), Mario Kart World ($79.99), Switch 2 Joy-Con Wheels ($24.99), Pro Controller ($89.99) and a MightySkins skin (approx $30). By my calculations, all that bought separately would cost $673.97, and that's not even taking the Mario Kart World bundle into account.

Steer well clear.

Grab Switch Sports for $30

Switch Sports is down to $30 in Walmart's Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals, excellent news for anyone still missing Wii Sports from back in the day. That's a $20 discount from the original $49.99, though note not all games will work on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Switch Sports | $59.99 $30 at Walmart

The final day (of Cyber Monday Switch deals)

Howdy! We're now entering the final day of 2025 Nintendo Switch deals with Cyber Monday, at least in terms of seasonal savings. I'm back on the ground looking for the top offers and anything new before midnight tonight, as that's when prices should jump back up to their full amount. That doesn't always happen, but I wouldn't risk missing out on any discounts, especially with Christmas looming.

Keep a close eye on Best Buy's flash sale

I find it highly suspicious that Best Buy has a whole "flash sale" page with Switch and Switch 2 consoles listed at full price. That to me suggests discounts will kick into gear at some point today, so I'd keep the retailers tab open and check in with us regularly for updates. I can't see why there'd be a specific Nintendo subsection with consoles within but no deals, and I suspect the big box store is up to something.

This controller is a must have for N64 games on Switch

The 8Bitdo N64 controller technically exists to pair with the new Analogue 3D, but it also happens to have a Switch mode. That helps it sync directly up to the handheld to become a modern alternative to the official Nintendo 64 Online controller, and it will provide a far more modern feel with the right button layout. It's also just over $30 for Cyber Monday, although the current discount is on the white version rather than the black.

8Bitdo N64 controller (white) | $39.99 $31.49 at Amazon

The Switch 2 case I use is down to $15

Yes, I know cases are boring, but Jsaux's slim carrying case really has saved my Switch 2 from backpack harm. It's slightly less bulky than alternatives while still feeling surprisingly rugged, and it's down to its lowest price thanks to Cyber Monday. It's certainly leagues ahead of some accessories I've used with handhelds in the past, and it truthfully feels pretty close to an official add-on in terms of build quality.

Jsaux Switch 2 carrying case | $21.99 $15.19 at Amazon

No Switch 2 console deals *yet*

I'm not exactly surprised, but the Switch 2 is pretty much sitting at full price across the board right now. I do think Best Buy has something in the works given that flash deals page I shared earlier with no discounts under Nintendo yet, but I wouldn't be shocked if nothing happens. We are talking a new console that just launched in the summer, and price increases as the result of US tariffs mean there's less to chop off of prices than usual.

Our top Switch 2 headset is under $80

It's sadly not available in the lovely lilac color we've tested, but the black SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P is 27% less for Cyber Monday. That's not too shabby for a headset that offers Bluetooth, 2.4GHz support, and a great mic. Plus, it's pretty comfortable, making it perfect for chilled couch sessions in docked mode.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P Wireless (black) | $109.99 $79.99 at Amazon

Say bye bye to Switch battery woes with this power bank

Modern handhelds aren't all that when it comes to battery life, so one of the best accessories you can buy for the Switch is a power bank. I tend to use Jsaux's 20,000mAh pack that was originally designed to pair with the Steam Deck, but has since been tasked with also providing the Switch 2 with juice. It's certainly on the beefy side in terms of capacity, and its 65W means it's got the muscles to carry most handhelds even with accessories connected.

Is the Switch 2 Pro controller really worth $89?

We need to talk about the Switch 2 Pro controller, especially since it's resisting discounts right now.

Firstly, is it actually worth its $89 price tag? If I'm being real with you, the price tag is all wrong, especially since the OG gamepad launched for around $50. Yes, price increases have naturally happened since 2017, but it's still a bit of a shock since many third-party alternatives out there are usually under $40. Ninty's new accessory is also lacking the usual "Pro" features included with PS5 and Xbox equivalents, like adjustable triggers and hall effect thumbsticks, which adds insult to injury.

Make no mistake - the Switch 2 Pro controller is still great, but there are plenty of alternatives with elevated features I'll be highlighting throughout the rest of Cyber Monday

Is the Switch Lite worth grabbing if it drops?

The Switch Lite might feel like old news, but it's actually still a remarkably compact handheld with big abilities. I mean, you're talking about something that can still fit in larger pockets and run huge adventures like Breath of the Wild. However, getting it for the right price is vital, and even with a Cyber Monday discount, it might not be worth picking up brand new.

Discounts are worth considering, but unless you're specifically looking for the lightest, travel-friendly way to play Ninty games, you'll want to watch what you spend on the baby Switch. It lacks docking abilities and has a much smaller screen, and it really lends itself to handheld play on a budget.

PSA: The "Express" part matters when buying a Switch 2 microSD card

It's incredibly irritating, but the Switch 2 uses a new kind of storage card for game installations. The one you'll need is specifically a "microSD Express", which features faster read/write speeds than previous standards. If you pick up a non-Express card, you'll only be able to store screenshots and clips, which isn't so handy if you've maxed out the handheld's storage with downloads.

Are they overpriced, considering they're largely only 256GB? Absolutely, but Ninty has sort of implemented a bit of a stealth proprietary storage option with the Switch 2. Yes, you can use various brands of cards, but not having the option to use a slower card that would have ultimately worked fine, since the Steam Deck uses them, is pretty irritating.

Samsung microSD Express Card 256GB | $59.99 $39 at Amazon

Star Wars Outlaws is now $30 on Switch 2

Star Wars Outlaws has been on my back burner for a while, but I might have to grab it now that it's $30. The half-price discount brings it to a record low for Cyber Monday, and while I have issues with the fact that it's a game "key card" that still requires a download, it's still one you can physically add to your shelf with the rest of your collection. It also happens to be the Gold Edition that comes with a bunch of DLC goodies.

Star Wars Outlaws Gold Edition Switch 2 | $59.99 $30 at Amazon

Not to be a party pooper, but Switch 2 prices could go up in 2026

As we consider the lack of Cyber Monday Switch 2 console deals this year, I want to touch on the idea of price increases next year. Times are a little bit turbulent for tech prices thanks to ever-changing US tariffs and demand for components like RAM, and those factors could ultimately prompt Nintendo to increase hardware prices.

I'm not saying you should buy a Switch 2 at full price, but I do think potential price increases next year are a reality. So, if it looks like discounts won't be a thing as Cyber Monday comes to a close, you may want to consider whether you really want to wait for the handheld and risk changing circumstances in the future.

Make sure to grab the right charger for your Switch 2

Fun fact - did you know the Switch 2 uses a 60W charger? In fact, if you have lower than that and you try to use it with the docking station, it isn't going to supply enough juice. So, rather than be silly like I was shortly after launch, you'll want to grab the right adapter while it's cheaper for Cyber Monday.

I'd recommend this Jsaux 65W USB-C adapter since it'll fast charge your Switch 2 and most other devices. The handheld does come with its own plug, but if you like to keep that connected to your dock and need something for travelling, this one will fit the bill.

Jsaux 65W USB-C charger for Switch 2 | $25.99 $18.99 at Amazon

Most webcams work with the Switch 2, and the one I use is 21% off

It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking you need a specific Switch 2 Camera, but most USB webcams are actually compatible. I actually use a Logitech C920 I've had for years, and you can grab the refreshed 'X' model for less thanks to Cyber Monday right now. Ultimately, opting for something that isn't specific to Nintendo's console means it'll have a use beyond silly Mario Kart avatars and online chat, and it'll provide solid 1080p visuals for less than the official accessory.

Do you need a Switch 2 right now? Here's what I told a friend who asked

While chatting with a pal about Cyber Monday Switch deals, they took the opportunity to ask me whether they should consider a Switch 2. Nintendo's best gaming handheld to date will be on a lot of fans' minds, but it's not necessarily a must-have. I told them that unless they're looking to play the latest adventures as soon as they hit, the OG Switch is fine for now, especially if you're just looking to play Stardew Valley and any of the Pokémon games.

This might be your last chance to grab Switch 2 deals in 2025, but discounts will naturally pop up in the future. Now could be a better time instead to grab games you've been meaning to play for the original handheld, or even invest in some cheaper accessories that'll help you enjoy the outings you already own.

Let's talk cheaper Switch GameCube controller recs

If you got a Switch 2 specifically for GameCube games, then you might have winced at the official controller price. It's pretty steep to say the least for a remake of a specific gamepad, so there are cheaper and arguably more authentic ways to play. I personally use a Mayflash adapter I've had since the dark days of the Wii U, and it happens to work on Ninty's latest handheld. It will let you use the console's original pads with the new console, and alternatives that are included in the Cyber Monday sale will do the same.

I'll include both here, but keep in mind I've only tested the Mayflash version. The "CLOUDREAM" version does say it's Switch 2 compatible, though, so it might be worth a go!

Should you just buy a Steam Deck instead?

Blasphemy! That's exactly what some of you will be shouting at the mere notion of buying a Steam Deck over the Switch or Switch 2. I love Ninty's handheld, but it's only right to highlight that some players will benefit more from a gaming handheld. If you're the type that likes to play various different indie adventures and are used to Valve storefront prices on PC, you'll want to keep to the same ecosystem as your rig, as it'll help you access the games you actually want for less.

Switch games are, by and larg,e more expensive, and the main reason to buy Nintendo's handheld is the exclusives. The Switch 2 has the added benefit of being able to hit 4K 60fps, and newer releases are respectable on the portable compared to its predecessor. However, when it comes to accessing a wider pool of outings for less, portable PCs are the way to go.

Got the Online Expansion Pack? This is the Tears of the Kingdom version you want

Here's a bit of a hack - if you already have the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion pack and don't have Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you can get a free upgrade to the Switch 2 Enhanced Edition. The revamped version actually comes as part of your subscription, meaning you can nab the older copy for under $60 instead of paying $80. You will naturally need to be signed up to the service, but your sub will grant you access to the 4K version.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom | $69.99 $54.90 at Amazon

I'd seriously consider playing Metroid Prime 4 a gaming monitor like this

Okay, look, you don't need a pricey gaming monitor for your Switch 2, but I reckon using a Dual Resolution screen with the handheld will be wicked, especially for games like Metroid Prime 4. The reason? It's a shooter that has a 1080p 120Hz mode and mouse support, so using something like an LG OLED screen that can do full HD integer scaling is going to look and feel fantastic.

While there are cheaper 1440p screens that can reach well over 120Hz, and technically the Dual Resolution screens are overkill at 480Hz, you won't find much in the way of 1080p OLED monitors otherwise. Therefore, I think if you're planning on buying a fancy new screen anyway, and happen to have a Switch 2 within your setup, an LG Dual Resolution screen is ideal, and there's a variant of the one I've tested at Best Buy with $470 off.

This Switch accessory changed how I store my Switch games

I used to be that person who'd keep all their Switch game boxes to hand for easy access, even if it meant bringing them with me on my travels. It all feels very silly, but I just wasn't into keeping my carts anywhere but the box they originally came in. However, they all now live inside one of Jsaux's multi-cart cases, and it's honestly just because it feels so nice to open and close. No, really, other than the fact it can hold 40 carts and is pretty rugged, it all comes down to how lovely it feels to use.

Anyway, if you need something that can hold most, if not all, of your Switch library, you can grab 20% off the accessory thanks to Cyber Monday.

Done with Mario Kart World? Maybe give Sonic's latest racer a try for under $40

If you've been playing Mario Kart World since launch, you might be on the hunt for a new racer. If that's the case, you'll want to look at Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds while it's under $40 for Cyber Monday. We called it a "slick, ambitious racer with loads of tracks, primed and ready for future, licensed crossovers," in our review, and that makes sense given it's got a beefy roster of characters that even includes wildcards like Minecraft Steve.

No word on those suspected Switch flash sale deals yet at Best Buy

I've been watching out for something happening at Best Buy with its flash sale, but nothing has kicked in yet. I still find it extremely weird that the full price consoles are at the top of its specific "1-day only Doorbuster" deals, so I'll be continuing to monitor the situation so I can let you know ASAP. You'll be the first to know if the Switch 2 returns to its lowest price, or we get some record lows on the OLED and Lite models.

It's not at its lowest, but I fear my favorite Switch controller could soon vanish

I've yet to find a Switch controller that makes me smile more than PowerA's Kirby Mouthful gamepad. I mean, look at it, I really don't need to explain why a pad that looks like it's been swallowed by the pink puffball is delightful. I've been waiting for it to drop all weekend, and while it's certainly not at its lowest right now, I'd maybe consider grabbing it in case it's gearing up to be discontinued.

The only retailer I've managed to spot the PowerA Kirby Mouthful controller at is Walmart, as it's AWOL from Amazon and other stores. That suggests to me that supplies are now limited, so while it's not quite as cheap as during previous sales, that could be because it'll soon no longer be available new.

I bought this OLED TV in time for the Switch 2, but you can buy the latest model for the same price

I was really hoping I could tell you to buy the excellent LG OLED C4 for a new record low price this Cyber Monday. Instead, the sale decided to set its sights on the newer OLED C5 model by making it practically the same price. As much as I love my TV, there's no point telling you to grab last year's panel when the latest version is down to about the same, but both are excellent, vibrant displays with 144Hz abilities and ridiculous levels of 4K detail.

That hidden Switch OLED Cyber Monday deal you can't see without Prime? It's not a deal

Amazon has some explaining to do.

When I happened upon a Switch OLED with a mysterious hidden Prime deal, I started to get excited. However, it turns out that it's "down" to $359.99, which is basically the going rate. Yes, a price hike did increase things to £399.99 this year, but I'm not exactly impressed by an offer using that to try and pretend there's a real terms price cut on offer.

You're really going to have to do better than that, Amazon.

The Nitro Deck basically makes your Switch into a pseudo Steam Deck for under $40

I don't know about you, but it feels weird holding on OG Switch after grasping onto chonky handhelds like the Steam Deck. In a way, it's that weirdness that the Nitro Deck aims to avoid, as it adds some nice heft that lends itself to better ergonomics. You're naturally getting a nice set of controls, anti-drift hall effect thumbsticks, and colors that pay tribute to the mighty GameCube, too, but I would say the main reason to jump on the current Cyber Monday deal is form factor.

This Hori Split Pad deal is for the Pokénerds

The Hori Split Pad makes for a pretty excellent full-bodied Switch controller, and there's a Pokémon version for under $40 right now. It's weirdly $20 less than the original black gamepads, so even if you're not that into Pikachu and Charizard, it's still the model that's worth picking up simply due to price.

The goth hedgehog game is half price

Look, I know all the real Shadow fans will, of course, already have Sonic X Shadow Generations. This one is for the casuals who haven't picked up a copy yet and can vibe with the hedgehog's brooding personality, or even just enjoy the blue blur's usual outings. There are Switch and Switch 2 versions, but the former is seemingly an actual cart rather than one of those new-fangled "key cards" with nothing actually on it.

8Bitdo's wonderful N64 controller just nose dived to a new record low price!

This just in - the 8Bitdo N64 controller that works with Nintendo Switch, PC, and, of course, the Analogue 3D, just dropped all the way down to a new record low. The 35% discount isn't even marked up as a Cyber Monday gaming deal, which goes to show it's worth checking outside of Amazon's filters and sale nonsense.

This is a marvellous modern take on the N64 gamepad that switches things up from a weird trident design to something contemporary without messing with the layout. I've spent countless hours using this pad since its release, and it feels ridiculously natural when playing classics like Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Goldeneye on the Switch and even the OG console.

Technically a good deal for 512GB of Switch 2 storage, but I'm still grumpy about microSD Express cards

Yes, this Samsung P9 microSD Express card will add 512GB storage to your Switch 2 for less than usual. No, I'm still not happy about it, as I feel like the format is overpriced considering Ninty's handheld is the only device that really makes use of it right now. It'll no doubt become a de facto eventually, but you're still paying more for this amount of room for game installs due to the fancier speeds than you would say a more standardized microSD card for the Steam Deck.

You do need to use Express for Switch 2 installs, though, so don't get any bright ideas.

If you do want a cheaper Switch OLED, you'll want to go with renewed

It's been a bit of a disappointing day for Switch OLED deals, given its yet to get the Best Buy flash sale treatment, and Amazon is trying to pass normal pricing off as a discount. However, you can still grab a refurbished model for under $300 if you're hellbent on getting one, and it's not a bad option if you care about screen vibrancy more than enhanced performance via the Switch 2.

This is a Zelda flavor of that Kirby Switch controller from earlier for under $30

The Kirby Mouthful PowerA controller is still my favorite, but this Zelda variant is very cute. It's got a little Hylian shield on the left grip, and I'm digging the blue and white contrast. For under $30, this is a gamepad well worth considering this Cyber Monday, even if it does take AA batteries and lacks USB charging (hey, maybe that's some old school charm for all the Xbox 360 fans out there.)

Grab the Final Fantasy pixel remasters for cheap

Square Enix basically hates putting this thing on sale, so it's worth picking up the chunky Final Fantasy pixel remaster collection for the Nintendo Switch while it's nearly $40 off. This matches the previous-record low price that's popped up this month, and I have a hard time imagining it getting much lower in the near future.

In fact, this deal is so good that I bought it for myself.

For when you want to travel with the whole Switch 2 system

There are a lot of different Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 cases on the market, and that's without getting into OLED vs Lite and so on. But of all of them, this one from RDS Industries it the aton Switch 2 launch, I've come to enjoy it and even prefer it.

Which, for me, is a bit unusual. I tend to prefer the slimmer travel cases, but this deluxe one is designed to carry the Switch 2 and its dock without issue – safe and secure. It helps that the Cyber Monday deal matches the record-low price as well.

My GOTY 2024 is also on sale

The vast majority of Switch and Switch 2 deals I'm seeing this Cyber Monday are games, which isn't terribly surprising. But most of the truly significant discounts are on games that I can't honestly recommend whether they're $50 or $5. If you've ever gone bargain bin diving, you know the feeling.

In the case of Unicorn Overlord, however, I can wholeheartedly recommend picking it up at this price, which matches the lowest it's ever been. The strategy RPG was my GOTY last year, and I'm easily the reason it made GamesRadar+'s overall list. (You're welcome, in advance.)

Don't get trapped by the Switch 2 Piranha Plant camera

Yes, the Hori Piranha Plant camera for the Nintendo Switch 2 is extremely cute, but it's a trap! Despite being stuck at its record-low price of $39.99 for months, the Hori camera pales in comparison to the official Nintendo Switch 2 camera. The picture quality just isn't the same.

If you're looking to pick up a Switch 2 camera this Cyber Monday, you're better off shelling out an additional $15 to grab the official Nintendo Switch 2 camera for $54 at Amazon despite the fact that it's not the cheapest one out there.

There's plenty of Sonic to be had for Nintendo Switch

Sonic Origins Plus is maybe the best value, overall, per dollar on the Nintendo Switch. There are caveats here what with 12 of the 16 included games being DLC Game Gear titles and the fact that it had a rough launch with some buggy updates, but things have largely been ironed out since then and it's still 16 entire Sonic video games. Top to it all off, Amy Rose is playable for the first time in Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD as part of this collection.

All of that is hard to pass up when $19.99 matches the previous record-low price from Amazon.

Sonic Origins Plus | $39.99 $19.99 at Amazon

For a slimmer Switch 2 case...

This Belkin Nintendo Switch 2 case is only $6 off, but that matches the previous record-low price over on Amazon. If you're in the market for a slightly more compact case as opposed to the RDS Industries one I recommended earlier, this is the one that I've had my own eyes on for a bit.

The Belkin Switch 2 case still has that nice hard shell but a soft interior with a sleeve for games and even a little AirTag compartment if you're interested in more broadly keeping track of your Switch 2 out in the wild.

Two Mario + Rabbids games is better than one

OK, yes, this dual pack of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is just a game download in a box. And this explicitly does not include the DLC. But both games are shockingly smart little tactical adventures, like plopping Mario and the Rabbids into an XCOM-shaped blender and giving it a go.

At the record-low price of $14.99, it's hard not to recommend this bundle despite all of the caveats. If you don't care about not having a physical game card, that makes this deal even better.

Best not buy, at least for now

We have been constantly watching Best Buy and its Cyber Monday flash sale all day long, and there's really not much day left, but still nothing has really caught our eye that isn't cheaper elsewhere or at the very least matched by the likes of Amazon.

If Best Buy has been waiting until the last moment to actually come through with Nintendo Switch deals, well, it would surprise me. But stranger things have happened, and there's every possibility that something will come through in the end. Who knows? (I don't! But suspect not.)

A solid Switch 2 controller for cheap

As stated before, PowerA is one of my favorite brands for third-party gaming hardware, and the Nintendo Switch 2 line of accessories is no different. This Switch 2 wired controller is currently $29.99 in black, which matches the previous record-low price, and the Mario-themed one is even cheaper at $28.65 – which is, for that version, also a match to the previous record-low price.

With two mappable buttons underneath and Hall effect sticks, this is a great deal for a solid controller. The only thing better would be if this were for the wireless version, but even with being tethered to the console this is pretty dang good.
