Even though we are now past Cyber Monday, plenty of deals are still available on Nintendo Switch gear, including Mario and Zelda games. This makes it the perfect time to grab titles — and some accessories — because the Nintendo Switch successor is confirmed to be backward compatible. These games won’t be cheap for long, though, and this is likely the last chance to get some bargains this year.
Being the best handheld console on the market is a tough job, but the Nintendo Switch has done it with its versatility, ease of use and fantastic game library. Whether it’s blockbuster adventures in The Legend of Zelda, colorful platformers — both 2D and 3D — with Mario or just a quiet life making friends with anthropomorphic animals in Animal Crossing, there’s a treasure trove of amazing experiences to be had.
If you prefer PlayStation, we’ve got that covered too, with a roundup of the best Cyber Monday PlayStation 5 deals for even more savings. We’re seeing major discounts on the next-gen console, as well as lots of 2024 titles like Sonic Frontiers, Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, to name a few.
If you want to make the most of this week’s deals before they disappear, we’ve put together a list of the best offers on Switch gaming gear you can grab right now. We’ll keep hunting for great Switch deals throughout the holiday shopping season, so don’t forget to check this page regularly for the latest discounts.

Is there a new Switch console on the way?
Considering that the Nintendo Switch first hit shelves all the way back in 2017, many people have been wondering if and when we’ll see an updated version, with sales now exceeding more than 145 million. Rumors of a Switch 2 have been making the rounds for quite some time and were recently inflamed by a potential image leak. Nintendo has yet to make an official announcement, but the company’s president, Shuntaro Furukawa, has stated that we’ll be introduced to the Switch’s successor before April 2025.
Furukawa also posted on X in November that the next Nintendo console will be backward compatible, so any games you buy now will be playable on the next console.
