The 30 Best Nintendo Prime Day Deals — Hand-Picked by Our Deals Experts
About
Overview
Amazon Prime Day 2026 is officially live, and surprisingly, there are actually some rather good deals out there right now for the savvy buyers amongst us, especially for the avid Nintendo fans. Yes, we'll be rattling on about this sale for a good few days at least, as it runs through to June 26 this year. But I promise you, it's worth it, as there are some seriously good offers up for grabs on Switch and Switch 2 games, accessories, and more. Firstly, here are a few highlights to note before we get into the nitty-gritty deals: the Samsung 256GB MicroSD Express Card for Switch 2 is down to $39.99 - a wonderful deal and probably the best we'll see this year. There's also a lightning deal on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for Switch, now down just $30. Considering the $10 Switch 2 upgrade as well, this is the best deal we've seen on the game since launch for both generations. Let's not forget the Switch 2 Choose Your Own Game Bundle for $499, currently the top option for new buyers before the September price hike kicks in. There's also 10% off Nintendo eShop gift cards, which is well worth picking up as it's basically extra free credit for any digital purchases. Before I get any more carried away with myself, let's take a look at the rest of my handpicked top recommendations for the best Nintendo deals during Prime Day 2026. There's more than enough physical game deals to get stuck into over the Prime Day sales. The biggest standout is probably The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - which is currently down to $59.99 for Switch 2, and $49.99 for the OG Switch. Some other highlights include Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for $29.99 - which is an outstanding deal. Plus, as I mentioned, it's $10 to upgrade to Switch 2 Edition, which is a better deal than buying the Switch 2 Edition outright at $44.99 (which is also on sale right now). There's also Mario Tennis Fever for $49.99, Resident Evil Requiem for $53.19, Super Mario Odyssey for $39.88, and plenty more to check out right now. At long last, there's a good deal on a Switch 2 memory card. For Prime Day, Amazon has dropped the price of the highly rated Samsung P9 Micro SDXC Express Card to $39.99 with free shipping. If you have a Nintendo Switch 2 console, then you should consider getting it now before it goes out of stock. Memory card prices have been through the roof lately. If your Nintendo Switch library could use a few new additions, or you're looking for an easy gift for the Nintendo fan in your life, Amazon has brought back one of its most reliable eShop deals just in time for Prime Day. Right now, the $10 Nintendo eShop Gift Card (Digital Code) is down to just $8.98 at Amazon, saving you 10% on your purchase. This isn't the first time we've seen this discount, but after disappearing for a while, it's back ahead of Prime Day and ready for anyone looking to stock up on eShop credit before the biggest sales event of the summer. Amazon Prime Day is generally one of the best times to buy LEGO sets at a discount and 2026 is certainly continuing that trend. Prime Day has only just begun, but Amazon and various other retailers have already started dropping some of the best LEGO deals of the year over the last week. Target's LEGO sale went live over the weekend and dropped some of the best LEGO Super Mario deals of 2026 so far. Among these offerings my overall favorite is the LEGO Piranha plant. There's also the Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi set on sale, which our LEGO Editor Chris Reed has called his "favorite Nintendo set to date". If you haven't already got a Switch 2, I'd recommend checking out the "Switch 2: Choose Your Own Game Bundle" which is the best offer you can find on the console right now. It's especially notable considering the console's $50 price hike incoming in September this year. Total savings, not excluding the incoming price change, is $80. There's also a Switch 2 Amazon Resale deal, which drops the console to around $341 (see here), but it's been going in and out of stock all day, so it's worth checking in every so often to see if it's available again. But, it is also worth mentioning that there's a ton of great deals at Amazon's sister site, Woot, with a whole host a amazing offers to grab there as well as part of its Summer of Gaming Sale. Once again, the biggest highlight from this sale is on a Zelda game, this time being Breath of the Wild for Switch 2. I've left the rest of my top recommendations from that sale just above as well. But the offers don't stop for Switch 2 games either, as Amazon is also handing out up to an extra 25% off "Used" products in its Amazon Resale promotion. Most importantly, that includes Switch 2 games like Mario Kart World, Cyberpunk 2077, Donkey Kong Bananza, and more. I'll only include "Very Good" and "Like New" condition deals here, but these discounts are so good they are truely hard to ignore. Most Switch 2 game preorders are also $10 off at Amazon right now as well, which is a mighty good deal whichever way you look at it. That includes Star Fox (which is out on June 25), Switch Sports Resort, the new Fire Emblem, and plenty more as well. You don't have to pay for the game until it ships either (per Amazon standard preorder policy), unlike buying digitally, where you have to cough up the cash right away. So, feel free to preorder and lock in that low price, and simply cancel later on if you change your mind.
