The Nintendo Switch may be turning six this year, but the hype around it is showing no signs of slowing down.
With three different versions of the console now available, it’s easier than ever to snap up one that best suits your gaming needs. If you’re looking for a significant discount though, things are a little trickier.
With consoles still in high demand, most retailers tend to keep prices stubbornly high. That’s why we’re rounding up all the best deals we could find this week – such as $50.95 off the Nintendo Switch OLED Model Console ($489, down from $539.95) that Amazon customers called the “best purchase ever” – to help you avoid paying full retail price.

NINTENDO SWITCH VS. NINTENDO SWITCH OLED
Released in October 2021, the OLED Model is the latest console in the Nintendo Switch line-up. It includes several of the best features of the original, including removable Joy-Con controllers for flexible gameplay, an extensive catalogue of compatible games and the ability to play it in three different modes (TV-docked, tabletop and handheld).
So what’s the difference between the OLED and the original Switch console? Well, the main difference lies in the name itself. The new console features an OLED screen which offers sharper contrast, more vibrant visuals and more efficient power consumption than the original Switch’s LCD screen. The screen on the OLED is also bigger, measuring in at 7-inches as opposed to the original’s 6.2-inches.
Other new features include a built-in wired LAN port on the dock — allowing for a stable wired internet connection when in docked play mode — enhanced audio and 64GB of storage, instead of the 32GB we saw on the original Switch.
Despite these additions, the Switch OLED is only a tiny bit larger and heavier than the previous model, so it’s still ideal for on the go use.
