Best Nintendo Switch deals: consoles, games, and accessories

The Nintendo Switch is probably one of the best handheld consoles on the market right now, if not one of the best consoles overall, especially given its strong lineup of both first and third-party games. It also helps that there are three versions to pick from depending on your budget: the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, or Nintendo Switch OLED, so there’s an option for pretty much anybody. Plus, given that the Switch has been out for so long, there are a ton of accessories for each model if you’d like, including everything from carrying cases to Switch covers.

To that end, we’ve collected some great Nintendo Switch video game deals and accessories deals, so be sure to check those out. Or, if you’d rather have one of the more traditional consoles, check out these game console deals instead.

While Pokémon Scarlet & Violet may not be the best-reviewed Pokemon games out there, they get pretty close, especially with a new pivot of how the games are actually played. Unfortunately, this bundle doesn’t include the game, but it does include a lot of the art, including the gorgeous scarlet and violet Pokemons against a white background and the scarlet and violet joycons. Also, this is one of the OLED versions, so you’re going to get an excellent viewing experience.

Best Xbox Game Pass deals: Upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate for cheap

There's a lot to love about the Xbox Series X or Series S consoles, but if you've ever tried to get online to play a multiplayer game, you may have run into an issue. Unfortunately, Microsoft requires you to subscribe to specific membership to be able to access online features, much like Sonyt does with the PS Plus. That said, the membership do have some nice perks to them, even on the cheapest plan, like free games and things of that nature. In fact, if you're on the Series S, then it probably makes sense to grab the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate since it gives you access to a whole library of games without having to buy them individually.

Also, you may want to check out these great Xbox Series S and X deals while you're here.
