Nintendo Switch Prime Day deals are in an interesting spot in 2026. For one thing, it’s been over a year since the Switch 2 came on the scene, which means the likelihood of seeing discounts on games and accessories is higher than the year before. Last time around, the new console was still a baby, and it didn’t yet have the full spread of games and accessories that are available today.
Prime Day officially kicks off tomorrow, early discounts usually give us something to work off in anticipation for the main event. Right now, first-party game offerings are pretty lacking. In fact, they barely exist at all, and titles from Star Fox to Splatoon Raiders are sitting at their full prices at Amazon, with no savings in sight. The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is at least $10 off its $69.99 MSRP, which is better than nothing, but first-party deals aren’t flowing. Instead, you can find the first discounts on third-party titles, like Resident Evil Requiem and Persona 3 Reload, which have returned to their record-low $49.99 and $29.99 prices today.
Regardless of what you’re after this Prime Day, I’ll be tracking the best console, game, and accessory savings live as the days go on. That way, you can spend less time worrying about finding the best savings, and more time worrying about having limited free time now you’ll have more Switch games to play and new accessories to play with them.

When does Amazon Prime Day start?
Amazon’s October Prime Day runs between October 6 – 7 in 2026. That means the deals won’t start officially flowing until tomorrow, however some early Prime Day discounts have already dropped at Amazon, and retailers like Walmart and Best Buy are also running competitive offers of their own, which worth checking out if you want to grab the best Switch bargains.
Should you wait for Black Friday?
Black Friday Switch deals are just around the corner, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend waiting to find the best savings. While yes, Black Friday is usually when you see the biggest discounts on Nintendo games and hardware, sometimes stock can already be depleting fast by the time it rolls around.
For example, if you were looking at the current Nintendo Switch 2 £354.99 offer at Amazon UK, I’d recommend picking it up as soon as you’re able. The closer we get to the holiday season, the less likely you’re going to find big-ticket items like the new Switch 2 in stock, and I don’t expect it’ll drop any lower this sale season. In the end, it’s entirely dependent on what you’re looking at, as while I wouldn’t wait where the console is concerned, the first-party game savings leave a little less to be desired this Prime Day, and it’s those I’d suggest waiting in hopes of better price drops.

My favorite Switch 2 case finally has a discount
The Belkin Charging Case Pro remains the best Nintendo Switch 2 case I’ve tested to date, but its huge price tag always deters me from recommending it to everyone I know with Ninty’s latest handheld. Thankfully, Prime Day has made it a bit more manageable, as the once $99.99 accessory is now $89.99.
It’s just $10 off, but it’s $10 off a case that packs in a 10000mAh power bank so you can juice up your Switch 2 on the go. The power bank also doubles as a charging stand that you can remove and keep by your bedside, so it’s really three accessories in one.
