In case you haven’t heard, the Nintendo Switch 2 just dropped on the market. But getting your hands on one involves more luck than sense—it’s insanely popular and going out of stock everywhere. Fortunately, if you don’t care about the latest and greatest, this is a great opportunity because the older Switch stuff is going on sale!
Here’s a rare deal to jump on: the Nintendo Switch OLED is down to $318 on Amazon (was $350). Use the cash you save to grab a few games from the eShop! The OLED version of the Switch is ideal if you plan to play in handheld mode most of the time, with its larger screen size and more vibrant graphics and improved kickstand.
If you’re mainly going to play in docked mode—hooked up to your TV—then you might opt for the original Nintendo Switch for $280 at Walmart (was $300), which comes with the iconic blue and red Joy-Cons. It’s still pretty good for portable play, too, with its 1080p screen and decent battery life that’ll last several hours on a charge.
And no matter which system you get, you’ll also want the Nintendo Switch Pro controller for just $41 at Walmart (was $70). It’s still one of the best wireless controller experiences for the Switch, and it’s compatible with the Switch 2 so you don’t have to worry about it becoming trash if you ever decide to upgrade your system.
The Switch 2 might be pricey and hard to get, but there’s a silver lining here. Take advantage of these Switch sales!
