There are just a few hours left in Prime Big Deal Days, offering discounts on the Nintendo Switch gaming console, games and accessories during the 48-hour sale, which is exclusive to Prime members. You can also find deals on vacuums, tech, kitchen products and more.
I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a writer for NBC Select, and I’m a gamer myself, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best October Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated, at least 20% off and at its lowest price in at least three months. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Big Deal Days.
