The Nintendo Switch was the best selling console of 2019 and we're not surprised at all. The Switch was released nearly 3 years again and still no other console is able to match the Switch's versatility. In addition, the already stellar gaming library has been bolstered with several high quality games in 2019, including Pokemon Sword and Shield, Super Mario Maker 2, Link's Awakening, Ring Fit, and much more. With increased pressure from Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo is likely to be more aggressive with deals and promotions during 2020. Check here for all the best deals on Nintendo Switch consoles, accessories, and games.
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch for $24.99
Save 40% off one of the best RPGs for the Switch.
Nintendo Switch V2 with Free Ematic Wired Controller for $299
There aren't very many Nintendo Switch deals right now, but Walmart is throwing in a free controller when you get either the new generation Switch with the longer battery life.
Nintendo Switch V2 for $299.99
There are currently no Nintendo Switch console deals right now, but the least we can do is make sure you get the V2 model. The version 2 model boasts about 2 more hours of battery life, which is certainly not insignificant. It raises the battery expectancy from 2.5-7 hours to 4.5-9 hours. It might be confusing to some people because many stores still sell the older model alongside the new one. The easiest way to tell if you're getting the V2 model is the packaging. The new V2 model has a new box with a predominantly Mario red color.
Preorder Nintendo Switch Lite: Coral Edition
The newest color in the Nintendo Switch Lite lineup is available for preorder. It's out on April 3. The Switch Lite is $100 less than the Switch and can play almost all of the same games.
The Best Memory Cards for Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch comes preinstalled with only 32GB of storage. To put that in perspective, Breath of the Wild alone will take up 40% of your storage capacity. I'd recommend you get at least a 128GB card if you want to store as many smaller digital titles as you want, and the larger 400GB card if you plan to download bigger titles.

Samsung EVO Select U3Micro SDXC Card:
Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for $59
The price of the Switch Pro hasn't changed since Black Friday, but this deal won't last forever. This is easily the best wireless controller for the Switch console (and quite possibly the best controller, period). Apart from the Joy-Cons, this is the only controller that supports rumble and amiibo NFC functionality. Definitely get this if you prefer the traditional gamepad layout or you use the Switch in docked mode often.
A Great Value Power Bank for the Nintendo Switch
This 30,000mAh power bank will work well with your Switch for these reasons:
- It supports USB-PD (Power Delivery) charging up to 18W, equal to the official charger
- Thanks to the full 18W of charging output, it can fully recharge a dead Switch in 3.5 hours
- The Switch has a battery capacity of about 4500mAh, so you could fully charge it 6 times
- USB-PD power banks can charge the Switch even while you're playing a game
The official 20,000mAh charger costs over 3X more.
Out 3/13: Animal Crossing Aloha Edition Carrying Case & Screen Protector
Best Buy is currently the only vendor that has the official Animal Crossing Aloha Edition case for the Nintendo Switch available for preorder (
Walmart had it but it's sold now). A Switch Lite variant is available as well. A screen protector is also included.
Out 3/20: Preorder Animal Crossing for Switch, Get $10 in Best Buy Credit
This is the only deal available right now for preordering the hottest Switch game of 2020 so far. You'll need a MyBestBuy membership to get this free credit, but it's
free to sign up.
