The Nintendo Switch 2 is not discounted for Prime Day. Just getting that out of the way. The fastest-selling console ever came out on June 5th, and only just hit Amazon’s storefront for reservation a couple of days ago. Nevertheless, I thought it’d be fun to share some Prime Day deals I found on Switch 2 accessories and games that have been patched to run better on the new console. Whether you already have a Switch 2 or you’ll be getting one soon, there are some great money-saving opportunities below (ones that I wish I had a couple of weeks ago).
$30
This hard case has a soft touch and a slim fit, and includes a flap that can hold up to 12 cartridges as it protects the console’s screen.
$25
The official Nintendo Switch 2 webcam is expensive, so we suggest getting this cheaper Logitech 1080p model instead.
$10
For when you want to wire in when you’re on-the-go (and away from the dock), I can verify that this model works with the Switch 2.
$63
For something cheaper — and in some ways better — than Nintendo’s official Pro controller, there’s 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2, which works with the original Switch and Switch 2.
$50
While I haven’t tried it yet, many report that the Switch 2 works nearly perfectly with this model. I say “nearly” because apparently the exposed Joy-Con 2 pins rub against the controller a bit, which may worry some.
$95
While its 100W top charging speed is overkill for the Switch 2, this 25,000mAh battery contains multiple recharges for the console, as well as some of your other gadgets.
$8
You really should protect your Switch 2’s screen. These glossy glass covers are easy to install, and let the full glow of the screen shine through.
$12
While equally protective as glossy protectors, these anti-glare matte covers tone down reflections, but in doing so, they slightly tone down how vibrant colors appear.
$40
Splatoon 3 is one of a handful of original Switch games to get a free update that drastically enhances visual quality as well as frame rate. It’s the way the game was always meant to be experienced.
$40
2017’s Super Mario Odyssey is timeless, even more so with the Switch 2 update that makes the game run at higher resolution with HDR enabled.
