Presidents Day Nintendo Switch deals are in full swing this week, and whether you're after a new handheld, looking to stock up that game collection, or refreshing your setup, there are plenty of offers on the shelves right now.

I've put the controller down to scroll through every single one this week, running through all the biggest retailers and grabbing every game, gadget, and accessory we actively recommend every day. That left me with a lot of Presidents Day deals for gamers, so I've cut my roster down even further.

Discounts are my bread and butter, and were previously my entire day job at our sister site TechRadar as a dedicated Deals Editor. Since joining the GamesRadar+ team five years ago, I've been hands-on with all the latest and greatest Nintendo Switch (and Switch 2) gadgets and gizmos. An OG handheld owner since day one, and a lover of a juicy saving, I've curated all the discounts you'll find on this page based on value, quality, and longevity.

Nintendo Switch 2 | Mario Kart World | $499 at Amazon
Save $30 - You're technically saving $30 on the full price of both the Nintendo Switch 2 ($449.99) and Mario Kart World ($79.99) here. What's more, these bundles were a little tricky to get hold of for a lot of last year. I wasn't expecting the package to still be on the shelves in early 2026, but it still represents the best way to pick up a Switch 2 right now.

FAQ

When do Presidents Day sales start?

Presidents Day itself takes place on Monday February 16 this year, but I generally see sales heating up in the week before the main event. While some retailers are a little late to the party this year, I expect the weekend to see plenty of discounts.

When do Presidents Day sales end?

Different retailers tend to close out their offers at slightly different times. This year Best Buy is stopping its discounts as soon as February 16 finishes up, but I expect to see a few stragglers still on the shelves for a few days afterwards.

Does Nintendo do Presidents Day sales?

Nintendo itself doesn't tend to run its own Presidents Day sales, but other stores like Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon certainly do.

We're also rounding up all the latest PS5 bundles and Nintendo Switch deals for those after a specific console. Or, take a look at the best Meta Quest deals on the shelves right now for more savings.
