Amazon Prime Day is a great chance to pick up a Nintendo Switch console, some games, or a whole range of accessories at reduced prices. As a gaming hardware expert, I've been trawling through the Amazon listings to try and find you the best deals right now.

Cutting right to the chase, some of the very best deals are actually not at Amazon. If you're after a console bundle, the Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle is just $299.99 at Best Buy. The Nintendo Switch OLED Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle is then only $299.99 at Best Buy. Both of these options deliver fantastic value and include a top game out of the box.

The Nintendo Switch is Nintendo's latest system and in a pretty unique position on the market. While the company has traditionally favored separate handheld and home consoles, the Nintendo Switch is a hybrid that can fill both roles. It first released back in 2017 and was followed by the Nintendo Switch Lite in 2019, which is smaller and removes the dock functionality.

The Nintendo Switch OLED released in 2021 and is the highest-end model in the line-up. It features a number of improvements compared to the base system, including more internal storage, a larger more vibrant screen, an enhanced kickstand, and better speakers.
