FAQ

When will October Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals begin?

We're into the final day of Amazon's Big Deal Days event now, which means these Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals will expire at midnight tonight. The clock is ticking on some of these hotter discounts, then, but if you do miss out there's always Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals next month.

Do you need a Prime membership for Amazon Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals?

Amazon keeps its best deals back for its Prime members during its larger sales, so you will need a membership to shop the best Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals this fall. However, there are a few ways to get around this. 

First up, we see plenty of other retailers looking to steal Amazon's thunder during this period, offering their own sales and price matching the online giant at the same time. That means it's wise to keep an eye on Best Buy and Walmart in the US, and Currys, Very, and Argos in the UK - you could easily walk away with the same price as a Prime member. 

For an easier life, though, we'd recommend looking into Amazon Prime free trials closer to the time. Amazon regularly offers free trials of its service around its annual sales to drum up interest.

You'll need a Prime membership to take advantage of this year's sale, but the good news is Amazon regularly offers free trials. Time it right and you can sail through the full event without paying for the subscription at all.

What to expect from Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals 2023

Nintendo Switch deals are starting to hit the shelves more and more in the last 12 months. With Black Friday offering up some of the best bundles and even straight discounts we've seen yet, we're optimistic for this trend to continue over Prime Day. While this is a safer bet in the UK where we regularly see bundles on the shelves and cheaper game prices in general, the US might see its best round of Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals yet. 

In fact, the only console we have some questions about is the Nintendo Switch Lite. With waning stock, this cheaper handheld-only model is looking is a little thin on the ground already. That said, discounts are still popping up in both the US and UK so if supply does hold out, there will be plenty to choose from here as well.

If you're after the latest and greatest console, it's worth noting that we've already seen as much as $20 / £20 off the Nintendo Switch OLED over the last couple of years. Those offers came from Walmart in the US and a range of retailers in the UK (though AO held out the longest at this price). Amazon itself hasn't offered too much cash off the device (aside from a fairly permanent £5 discount in the UK), but if other retailers take the leap on the day itself, we could see some price match wars occurring here. 

That still feels quite optimistic - the truth is we're just not used to seeing such savings on a Nintendo console, or any price drops at all. We're tentatively hoping for a return to that $20 / £20 price cut, but if there's no discounts at all we'll still likely see bundle offers rolling in.

Those bundles could include latest releases - Nintendo Switch Sports, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus are all waiting in the wings for inclusion here. However, some of the best value options could be on old favorites - we've seen bundles including Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe most recently in the US.

The standard edition Nintendo Switch console dropped down to just $259 for the first time in May last year. While a similar discount wasn't spotted in 2022's Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals, similar offers starting to edge their way onto the shelves over the holiday period could well return. That fills us with far more confidence that we're going to see some more straight price drops on this device during Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals.

When it comes to bundles, though, there's some very exciting news. Amazon is already offering pre-orders for the $299.99 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle, due to ship on October 6. That means we know this super popular package is back and could mean more offers are on the way. 

Not only that, but we regularly see price cuts in the UK. We've already seen retailers kicking things even further down the price chain across the pond, but never at Amazon. That means we're expecting a conservative £239.99 sales price come October, but it's well worth checking in with smaller sites like The Game Collection and Base for more discounts.

We could also see the return of the Mario Kart 8 bundle that sits pride of place during Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals, and there's far more wiggle room for more games to get involved here as well. We don't see too many bundles day to day in the US, so Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals could be your first port of call.
