Amazon Prime Day is on its second (and final) day of sales, offering discounts on Nintendo Switch video games and gaming accessories exclusive to Prime members. You can also find deals on smartwatches, Apple products, vacuums and more.
As a writer for NBC Select, I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. Plus, I’ve been playing the Nintendo Switch since it first debuted, dabbling in played open-world games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (and its excellent sequel, Tears of the Kingdom), farming simulators like Stardew Valley (I’m an expert fisher) and puzzle games like Baba Is You, and even brought it on my honeymoon. Below, I rounded up the best Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals at their lowest price in at least three months. I’ll continue updating this list throughout Prime Day.

Best Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals
Amazon Basics Game Storage Case
4.8-star average rating from 17,761 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
The Nintendo Switch uses tiny game cartridges that are easy to lose track of (I say this from personal experience), which is why this storage case is helpful. The compact case can hold up to 24 game cards as well as a memory card, and it has a slim profile, measuring just 3.5 inches long by 3.5 inches wide and 1 inch deep.
PowerA Wireless Nintendo Switch Controller — Legend of Zelda Sworn Protector
4.6-star average rating from 14,352 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
Fans of the Legend of Zelda franchise might want to swap in their Joy Cons for this wireless controller, which is officially licensed by Nintendo and decorated with the Hylian crest, Hylian shield and Master Sword (which Link uses to slay enemies like Ganon and Ganondorf throughout the games). It has an ergonomic design for extra comfort and up to 30 hours of battery life with AA batteries, according to the brand.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
4.8-star average rating from 2,762 reviews on Amazon
This nostalgic hit is a classic beat-’em-up game (a gaming genre in which you, well, just beat up a lot of enemies). Battle your way through Manhattan and Brooklyn as Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael or other characters. You can choose between a classic storyline mode and arcade-style gameplay and use the online multiplayer option to team up with friends from afar.
Rune Factory 4
4.8-star average rating from 3,693 reviews on Amazon
This Nintendo 3DS classic is now remastered for the Nintendo Switch, with which you can farm, create a family or battle creatures. (Think of it as a cross between Stardew Valley and the Legend of Zelda.) You can also build relationships with the townsfolk and monsters alike, and this edition now includes brand-new playing modes and cut scenes.
Amazon Basics Carrying Case for Nintendo Switch
4.8-star average rating from 5,462 reviews on Amazon
Organize and protect your Nintendo Switch accessories when you’re on the go with this hard-shell carrying case. It has a dedicated spot for your console and enough storage space for two additional Joy Cons, 10 game cards and charging adapter (although you might have trouble squeezing in the actual charger).
CODOGOY 11 in 1 Switch Sports Accessories Bundle
4.6-star average rating from 305 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
This bundle contains an array of accessories to bring Nintendo Switch sports games to life, including golf clubs, tennis rackets and even leg straps for soccer. It also includes a sword for playing more battle-minded games like Pokémon Sword and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Heiying Game Card Case
4.9-star average rating from 4,048 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
For sensible storage with a side of nostalgia, try this organizer that resembles an old-school Game Boy. It holds up to 48 game cards and 24 micro SD cards but is still compact enough for travel. The silicone lining helps prevent scratches, and the clasps are magnetic for easy closure.
Ukor TV Docking Station for Switch
4.0-star average rating from 4,816 reviews on Amazon
This portable dock isn’t that much smaller than what comes included with the Switch, but what sets it apart is that it doubles as a stand — so you can play your Switch in tabletop mode while it’s charging. (It also has a port for connecting to the TV, although the cord isn’t included.) It’s compatible with both the original Nintendo Switch and the OLED models.
PowerA Protection Case — Animal Crossing: Island Life
4.8-star average rating from 374 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
Some carrying cases for the Nintendo Switch can fit a ton of accessories, but that means they can be bulky. I prefer a slim-fit case like this one for protecting my Nintendo Switch for short trips where I don’t need a charger or the Joy Con grip. It has a felt lining, an attached flap to protect the screen, a built-in stand for tabletop gaming and enough storage for nine game cards. It fits all models of the Nintendo Switch, including OLED and Lite.
Mirabox 65W Portable Switch Dock Charger
4.4-star average rating from 788 reviews on Amazon
If you don’t want to lug your dock around, consider this small, travel-friendly gadget. It is about as big as a laptop charger and one-tenth the size of the standard Nintendo Switch dock. It comes with a cable to charge your Nintendo Switch and a port so you can connect it to and play on your TV via an HDMI cord (which isn’t included).
Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 MAX Wireless Gaming Headset
4.0-star average rating from 2,853 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
These wireless headphones are licensed for Xbox, but you can also use them for gaming on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation or your PC. They have lag-free technology so you don’t miss a beat, memory foam ear cushions, eight-hour battery life and a built-in mic that you can flip to mute, according to the brand. Plus, you can take calls or listen to music without having to pause your game.
Ivoler 4-Pack Tempered Glass Screen Protector
4.8-star average rating from 26,328 reviews on Amazon
Prevent nicks and scratches from getting in the way of your game with this pack of screen protectors. Just 0.3 millimeters thick, each protector offers durability without sacrificing touchscreen sensitivity, according to the brand. It fits Nintendo Switch OLED models from 2021 and later, and the pack comes with four protectors, wipes and a frame for installation.
Amazon Basics Hard Shell Travel and Storage Case For Nintendo Switch
4.7-star average rating from 7,551 reviews on Amazon
Some Nintendo Switch cases only fit the console, but this spacious carrier fits your Switch as well as the dock, charger, Joy Cons and even the grip (to which you attach the Joy Cons to play on a TV). It has foam padding and a hard shell to prevent the screen from scratches and protect the accessories from bumps and falls.
Satisfye ZenGrip Pro Gen 3
4.7-star average rating from 7,948 reviews on Amazon
Slide your Nintendo Switch console into these grips, which lend a more ergonomic feel to the standard Joy Cons and make handheld play more comfortable, according to the brand. It has silicone tabs and bumpers to prevent direct contact with your console (minimizing the risk of scratches) and lets warm air circulate from the back of the console (to prevent overheating). It fits both the Nintendo Switch original and OLED versions.
PowerA Nano Wired Controller
4.5-star average rating from 142 reviews on Amazon
The advantage of a wired controller is that you don’t have to worry about it running out of juice, and this one has an eight-foot cable to keep it within easy reach. It’s licensed by Nintendo and pairs a compact design with larger buttons than the standard Joy Cons for extra comfort, according to the brand. It also includes a screenshot button so you can share moments from your gaming session.
Purbhe Controller Charging Dock
4.7-star average rating from 477 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
There’s no buzzkill quite like getting a low-battery warning for your Joy-Cons when you’re in the middle of a gaming session. This charging dock can fit up to four Joy Cons and has green and red LED lights to indicate whether the controllers are fully charged or in progress.
8Bitdo Classic Controller Travel Case
4.8-star average rating from 1,243 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
Nintendo Switch carrying cases don’t always fit separate controllers, which is where a hard-shell case like this one can be helpful. It protects both wired and wireless controllers and has a mesh sleeve that’s big enough to store Joy Cons and smaller cables, according to the brand.
Fastsnail 4 Pack Grips Kit
4.7-star average rating from 2,506 reviews on Amazon
Joy Cons are quite a bit smaller than your typical gaming controller. If you’re not used to — or don’t like — the small size, you can add your Joy Con to one of these bigger, rubber grips, which have a nonslip matte surface for a firm, comfortable grasp. They come with silicone thumb stick grips for better joystick control, too, according to the brand.
Voyee Steering Wheel
4.6-star average rating from 791 reviews on Amazon
For racing games like Mario Kart, snap your Joy Cons into these lightweight wheels for a more immersive playing experience. They’re roughly the size of your palm and designed to have an ergonomic feel, according to the brand.
Heystop Switch Case
4.4-star average rating from 16,159 reviews on Amazon
This transparent shell snaps onto your console and Joy Cons to protect them from daily wear and tear. It also comes with a screen protector to help prevent scratches, and is designed with cut-outs that allow you to detach the Joy Cons, slide the console into the dock, use the kickstand and access ports without having to remove the whole case.
KDD Switch Controller Charging Dock Station
4.5-star average rating from 13,514 reviews on Amazon
Try this organizer to keep all your Nintendo Switch gear in one spot. It can charge up to six Joy Cons simultaneously (with green and red LED lights to let you know when they’re fully charged), includes dedicated slots for eight game cards and has ports to connect your Switch to the TV.
Satisfye ZenGrip Go Elite Bundle (Lite)
4.7-star average rating from 262 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
Even though the Nintendo Switch Lite is the most travel-minded version of the console — with longer battery life and built-in Joy Cons — accessories tailored to it can be hard to find. That’s not the case with this bundle, which comes with a carrying case, a grip and high-speed charging cable designed solely for the Lite model. The case can hold a full-size power bank and up to 14 game cards, while the grip is designed to minimize hand fatigue, according to the brand.
Fyoung 2 Pack Wrist Bands
4.3-star average rating from 326 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
Slide on these wristbands to move more comfortably when you play games like Switch Dance and Zumba Burn It Up. They allow you to go hands-free and have an adjustable (but secure) fit.
Silent Hope: Day One Edition
4.6-star average rating from 179 reviews on Amazon
If you’ve already played The Legend of Zelda series, try this sweet (and not too challenging) role-playing game. After a king steals his people’s ability to to speak and his daughter’s resulting sorrow traps her in a crystal teardrop, seven heroes set out to free her. You’ll play through the fairytale-inspired kingdom while crawling dungeons and honing your battle skills against monsters and bosses.
Stoga Switch Controller
4.5-star rating from 615 reviews on Amazon
Lowest price ever
If you have a budding gamer on your hands, they might appreciate this cute, raccoon-inspired controller. It has roughly nine hours of play time and a vibration motor that rumbles in sync with events in the game for an immersive experience. Other touches include: lights in the ears that “breathe” as you play, and a nose that doubles as a button.
