Switch Game Deals at Best Buy

That said, third-party Switch games go on sale often, and Best Buy offers a new batch of deals each week starting on Sunday. So if you're looking for a discounted Switch game, this is a great place to start.

Switch Console Deals at Best Buy

Each Black Friday, Nintendo has been releasing a special Switch console bundle for the standard price of a Switch. During Black Friday 2020, for instance, Nintendo released a bundle that included a Switch console, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and three months of Nintendo Switch Online, all for $299.99. So while you still had to part with $300, you essentially got a game and online access for free. So if you can wait for Black Friday to buy a Switch, that's probably the thing to do--though, we should also note those bundles sold out pretty quickly.

With all that in mind, if Best Buy is offering any discounts on Switch hardware, this is where you'll find it.

Switch Accessory Deals at Best Buy

When it comes to accessories, we're talking about things like extra Joy-Cons, the Pro Controller, charging stands, carrying cases, and more. As for Switch accessory deals, you can often find Joy-Cons available for $69, which, believe it or not, is a $10 discount off the MSRP. Similarly, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller retails for $69, but you can often find it on sale for $59.

Regardless, if Best Buy is running a notable discount on a Switch accessory you might want to buy, you'll find it here.

Switch Storage Deals at Best Buy

Thankfully, it's easy to expand your Switch's storage by popping in a microSD card. Those teeny-tiny cards are also increasingly cheap as time goes on. While the high-capacity microSD cards can cost upward of $100, you can generally find 128GB and 256GB cards for much cheaper. See above for any Switch storage deals at Best Buy.

Switch Subscription Deals at Best Buy

That said, in addition to online access, NSO subscriptions let you save your data to the cloud, which comes in handy if something happens to your Switch. It also gets you access to over 70 NES and SNES games, including tons of bonafide classics like Super Mario Bros. 3, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country, and a whole lot more. This may appeal more to older gamers, but it also offers enterprising youngsters a chance to find out where their favorite series came from as well.
