The Nintendo Switch arguably has the best game library of any Nintendo console ever. That means that Switch owners probably want to buy a lot of games, especially exclusives. Unfortunately, many of those first-party titles rarely go on sale--and if they do, it’s only for a few bucks. That’s not the case right now, however, as you’ll find some great discounts on games featuring Mario, Link, Yoshi, Pokemon and other iconic fixtures in Nintendo history.
Nintendo games aren’t the only thing on sale in the days leading up to Halloween. In fact, there’s a shocking number of accessories on sale right now, including premium gamepads, carrying cases, and gigantic accessory bundles that include everything you need to keep your Switch safe.
We’ve browsed through every catalog from every major retailer and pulled together a list of the best Switch game deals and best Switch accessory deals. Keep in mind that Black Friday is right around the corner, so if nothing catches your eye today, you’ll want to check back in the coming weeks as retailers gear up for the big shopping holiday.
