It’s also high time to grab a new controller, memory card, or handheld grip, and you’ll find all of those and more below in our roundup of today’s best Nintendo Switch deals. Jump on these bargains while they last!
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening | $50
If you’ve already been through the brilliant Breath of the Wild, there’s another stellar Legend of Zelda game on Switch. This one is decidedly more old-school in design… and that’s because it’s a remake of the classic Game Boy entry, Link’s Awakening.
You wouldn’t know it from a glance, however, as the whole game has been thoroughly redone in a glossy graphical style that makes it look like toy figurines at play. Walmart has it for $10 off right now, which is about the best deal we’ve seen online for a new copy.
And if you haven’t already played Breath of the Wild, Amazon likewise has it for $10 off right now.
HyperX Chargeplay Quad | $15
If you use your Switch often for multiplayer gaming and wind up with tapped-out Joy-Cons on a regular basis, then you’ll definitely want the HyperX Chargeplay Quad. This handy peripheral lets you dock four Joy-Cons at once for charging—and it’s half-price at Amazon right now.
Assassin’s Creed: The Rebel Collection | $20
If you’re a fan of Ubisoft’s historical open-world adventure series, then this is an incredible deal. Right now, Assassin’s Creed: The Rebel Collection is just $20 on Switch.
You get two huge full games here: the critically acclaimed, pirate-themed Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, and the slightly under the radar (but still good) Assassin’s Creed Rogue. Both games have all of their single-player add-on content included, too, and you could easily pour 100+ hours into this set.
Jump Force: Deluxe Edition | $42
If reviews of the other, previously-released console versions are any indication, Jump Force isn’t the most spectacular anime adaptation around. (In other words, it’s no Dragon Ball FighterZ.)
That said, it is undoubtedly a fan service bonanza, bringing together combatants from the likes of Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, and many other manga series from the legendary weekly Shōnen Jump magazine in Japan. It just released on Switch and it’s already $8 off at Amazon.
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI | $15
Looking for one game that could potentially last you throughout the entire pandemic quarantine… however long that might continue? Look no further than Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, the latest entry in the life-consuming strategy franchise, in which you build up a civilization that can last through the ages. It’s down from the original launch price of $60.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons | $50
If you’re not one of the millions of Animal Crossing devotees that snapped up this perfect-for-pandemic chillfest this spring, now’s your chance: Walmart has a rare deal. Right now, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is $10 off, which is the best you’re likely to see on a new copy anytime soon. Grab it while it lasts!
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate | $50
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate lives up to its boastful billing, delivering the best-ever edition of Nintendo’s franchise-mashing brawler. The sheer amount of content here is simply staggering, with 80+ playable characters, dozens of stages, stellar online play, and a big adventure mode for you to battle through. Discounts on this gem are rare, so take advantage of this $10 savings at Walmart while you can.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt | $40
Have you seen The Witcher on Netflix? Now you can experience that fantasy world on Switch with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Recently ported to Switch with all of the bonus content bundled in, The Witcher 3 is one of the most critically-acclaimed role-playing adventures of all time. It’s an enormous, open-world epic that you can surely sink months into, if you please. It’s $20 off right now.
SanDisk 128GB microSD Card for Switch | $27
If you’re downloading games from the Switch eShop, then you’ll probably need some extra space. Luckily, the Switch accommodates affordable microSD cards, and there are even Nintendo-branded versions from SanDisk.
This official microSD card has a Mario mushroom on it and is currently on sale for $28, marked down 20%. However, if you can deal without the branding, you can grab a standard 128GB SanDisk microSD card for $17… and it works just as well.
BioShock/XCOM 2/Borderlands Collections | $33 Each
Big games on a little screen! 2K Games recently ported three of its top franchises from other consoles and PC to the Switch in content packed bundles, and they’re already discounted at Amazon.
The BioShock Collection gives you a trio of bold and distinctive first-person shooter campaigns, while the XCOM 2 Collection gives you the complete version of the critically acclaimed turn-based strategy gem and Borderlands Legendary Collection has a trio of cartoon-stylized, over-the-top, looter-shooter favorites.
You can save $17 on each of these right now. Note that you’ll definitely need a microSD card for these, as all three require a significant download to access the entire game.
PDP GameCube-Style Mario Controller | $19
If you ask most die-hard Super Smash Bros. players, they’ll swear that Nintendo’s original GameCube controller from 2001 is the best way to play the game. Luckily, you can still get that experience on the Switch today.
PDP’s officially-licensed wired Switch controller keeps the same look and feel of the original, and is great whether you’re playing Smash or something else entirely. Right now, this Mario-themed edition is $6 off the regular price, but Amazon has several other designs at various prices.
Satisfye Pro Grip | $29
Here’s a third-party accessory that many fans consider an essential part of the portable Switch experience: the Satisfye Pro Grip.
This large peripheral hugs the original Switch console and provides you comfortable grips for a more ergonomic play experience, plus it has optional thumbstick toppers to help with aiming. The Satisfye Pro Grip has a 4.8-star rating on Amazon with more than 2,700 customer reviews as of this writing, and it’s 17% off the list price.
