Best Nintendo Switch deals in November 2024
Today's best Nintendo Switch deals
Nintendo Switch deals are fairly easy to find these days. Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop typically offer discounts on everything from Switch games to must-have Switch accessories. However, if you're looking for Nintendo Switch deals on consoles, things are a little trickier.
Deals on the Nintendo Switch console and Nintendo Switch Lite are rare, and when they do happen they sell out fast. In terms of pricing, Switch deals usually take a modest $20 or $30 off the console. Alternatively, some retailers might throw in a free game or accessory.
Check out our where to buy Nintendo Switch guide for the latest stock updates and bundle deals. And take a look at the best Nintendo Switch games for some ideas on what to play with your new console.

Best Nintendo Switch deals
The Nintendo Switch (with extended battery) retails for $299. The console with the improved battery was released in 2019, and this is the one we recommend picking up — the updated battery lasts a maximum of nine hours, rather than 6.5 like its predecessor. You can spot the new console from its packaging: the upgraded Nintendo Switch box has a red background.
However, Switch demand has made finding Switch deals near-impossible. Even during Black Friday, there aren't many discounts to be found on the console itself. That said, retailers like Amazon and Walmart occasionally offer Switch bundles, which include a free game or credit. These are your best options if you're looking for Switch deals that include the console.
Nintendo Switch OLED deals
The Nintendo Switch OLED is here. The $349 system sports a larger, 7-inch OLED screen and allow gamers to play via their TV, in tabletop mode, or in handheld mode. Discounts on this console are hard to find, although bundles deals pop up occasionally.
Nintendo Switch Lite deals
Now available in more colors than ever, the Editor's Choice Nintendo Switch Lite retails for $199. It's smaller and lighter than the traditional Switch which makes it even more portable. We love the Switch Lite's gorgeous, comfortable design, good battery life, and stellar game library.
The Switch Lite is generally easy to find in stock. Usually Best Buy, Amazon, and GameStop have stock of the Switch Lite in various colors. As for as Switch Lite deals — don't expect many. Your best bet is to look for bundles.
