Best Nintendo Switch Deals: A Bunch Of Pokemon Games Are On Sale

If you're in the market for a new Switch game or accessory, you're in luck--right now, you'll find tons of great deals on everything from games and controllers to headsets and more. There aren't nearly as many sales as last week during Prime Day, but there are still plenty of notable Switch deals to explore.

Nintendo Switch games don't go on sale as often as their PS5 and Xbox Series X counterparts, and a discount of just a few bucks is often the best we'll see all year. One notable exception is Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which is already on sale for $49 despite not launching for another month. You'll also find a surprising number of first-party games on sale for $40 or less. As far as accessories are concerned, your best bet is picking up third-party gear since Nintendo doesn't like to reduce prices for its in-house lineup.

We've pulled together every big discount from every big retailer on the web, and you'll find a list of the best Switch game deals and best Switch accessories deals below. We're not sure when they'll end, so be sure to explore the offers while you can.

Best Switch Games On Sale

Tons of big-name games are on sale for awesome prices right now, including Breath of the Wild and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. The two titles are wildly different from each other (one is an open-world adventure while the other is a unique adventure/puzzle game), but they're both highly reviewed and easy recommendations at their new prices.

Meanwhile, a bunch of Pokemon titles are up for grabs at a discount, including the upcoming Scarlet and Violet. Massive discounts are available for Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, too.

If you're looking for something a bit different, consider checking out Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit while it's on sale for $85, down from $100. You'll get to use your Switch to drive a real R/C car around your home, racing toward checkpoints and avoiding a variety of augmented reality hazards. It works best in homes with large floorplans that allow you to set up a variety of courses, but no doubt it offers a great twist on the usual Mario Kart mayhem.

Splatoon 3 may have just launched, but right now you can land a copy of the game for just $53. This is one of the best prices we've seen for the title, making now a great time to check out the fast-paced action.

Plenty of other games are on sale, and we've listed the best deals below.
