Pokémon Legends: Z-A normally costs $69.99, but you can snag it for $55.99 for the rest of the day - a price that other retailers aren't currently matching. The title, which launched in October 2025, feels like a return to form, according to our reviewer Charles Pulliam-Moore, and continues to push the series out of its iterative rut. At this price, the game is cheaper than the original Switch version.
With precious few discounts available for first-party Switch games, Nintendo's game vouchers allowed players to save a little cash by purchasing two vouchers for $100, saving $10 per game as long as both were $60 titles. While the program had a few caveats, including a one-year expiry and the requirement of an active Nintendo Switch Online membership, it offered a reliable discount on first-party games.
Upgrading to the Switch 2 is a big step forward, thanks to the larger screen, new features and improved performance. But shifting to a new console naturally raises the question of what happens to all your games and save data on the one you already have. Thankfully, Nintendo has built a clear System Transfer process that lets you move your account, digital purchases, save files and other key data from your original Switch to the Switch 2.
Microsoft has said it's committed to bringing Call of Duty to Nintendo Switch, and it could be coming as soon as next year. Reporter Jez Corden said "the first CoD Switch version is nearly done." He added that the game, whatever it is, will launch "in a few months." In another post, Corden said the release may not be "close" but it's "on the way" for a 2026 release.
Even though Nintendo made some serious upgrades with the Joy-Con 2, you still might end up ditching them for CRKD's Nitro Deck 2. After winning over Nintendo Switch owners with its first Nitro Deck, CRKD followed it up with an improved design that works for both the original Switch and the Switch 2. To refine the original design, CRKD added several upgrades to the Nitro Deck 2 based on community feedback.
Storage has become one of the most frustrating limitations of modern tech. No matter how much space manufacturers promise, it never feels like enough. Our phones eventually fill up with new photos and videos, our PCs balloon with game downloads and media files, and our gaming consoles never seem to have enough room for the next title we want to install. Because of this ongoing struggle, storage deals tend to be some of the best and most reliable purchases you can make. When SSDs, external drives, or microSD cards go on sale, it's usually smart to grab one.
If you've owned a Switch for a decent length of time, you've likely hit your storage limit. Even the Nintendo Switch OLED model, released in 2021, includes only 64GB of internal storage. The original 2017 Switch offers just 32GB, and with a portion of that dedicated to essential system files, you really have only about 25GB free for games. To put that into perspective, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom comes in just over 16GB.
The 512GB Samsung P9 Express microSD card, which is made for Nintendo Switch, is currently going at a 25% discount. This brings its price down to just $75, saving you a nice $15. It's the lowest we have seen it drop to since its release, but the offer is only around for a short time. Grab it while it's still live, because once it's gone, we don't expect it to be back at this price anytime soon.

Each of these has a full set of buttons, so using one as a standalone mini-controller won't feel limiting at all. In fact, it's going to come in handy for some two-player sessions in games!
In a statement, Nintendo spelled out the obvious, saying: "Nintendo Switch 2 outputs audiovisuals once it detects that it is docked into a Nintendo Switch 2 Dock. Nintendo Switch does the same, outputting audiovisuals once it detects that it is docked into a Nintendo Switch Dock." More importantly, the company claimed that it "does not have any intention to hinder or invalidate legal third-party dock compatibility." It is unclear what Nintendo considers to be a "legal" dock.
The Rogue Prince of Persia is coming to Switch and Switch 2 consoles on December 16.

That means players will be able access a wide variety of biomes, weapons and secrets.

I consume a firehose of online content every day as part of my job. At some point in the last week, through a post, comment, or video I can no longer remember, I became aware of a shortcut for tinkering with the brightness on my Switch 2. Turns out this existed on the original Switch as well. All you have to do his hold down the home button to instantly bring up the slider. Eureka!
If you happened to miss out on the popular New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, now is your chance to finally jump in. The Switch game is discounted to just $40 (was $60) for Prime Big Deal Days, which is the lowest price we've seen all year. Playable on both Switch and Switch 2, it's an easy recommendation for anyone seeking some family-friendly, 2D-platforming action.
This summer, Nintendo raised the prices of it's previous generation Nintendo Switch consoles following President Donald Trump's announcement to impose new tariffs on a range of countries. The base model Nintendo Switch, which originally launched at $300, is now sold for $340 new. You can, however, find the Nintendo Switch for much less than even the starting price. Buying refurbished hardware is a great way to save some money while refreshing what you play or work with.
The Nintendo Switch became the best-selling console because you can take it anywhere. But here's the frustration: playing on that small built-in screen, especially when two people are huddled around it, can strain your eyes and diminish the experience. Portable monitors solve this problem by giving you a bigger display that weighs barely more than a notebook: The Forhelp 15.6-inch portable monitor is now on sale for $59, down from its typical price of $79, during Prime Big Deal Day.
