Best Nintendo Switch deals for Amazon Prime Day 2023: Offers to expect on the console

Amazon Nintendo

Well, well, well... It seems Amazon Spring Sale is yet again just around the corner, so if you’ve not yet succumbed to buying the Nintendo Switch, now is the time to add it to your wishlist.

There will be discounts galore on a extensive range of gaming goodies, including consoles, accessories and games - and the Switch is no exception.

Whether you’re investing in the console itself or perhaps just need the latest version of Mario Kart, the online marketplace is at the ready to satisfy all of your Nintendo-related desires - at a fraction of the price.

A console that’s made to play as a family, on your own or even with friends, it works for children, teenagers and big kids - especially if you, like me, were born in the 90s. Whether you’re playing Pokemon or MarioKart, the nostalgia of your Nintendo 64 or GameBoy Advance will all come rushing back in an instant.

If you’re in the market for a winning gift for your son or daughter, look out for convenient bundle deals that include a mixture of games or accessories alongside the console itself - which Amazon will also be slashing to rock bottom prices.

What is Amazon Prime Day?

If you’re yet to hear about the sale extravaganza, you’re in for a treat.

Every year, the online megastore hosts a two-day sales event with heavily discounted products across tech, homeware, appliances, beauty and fashion - so it’s the best time to cop goodies on your wishlist that you’ve not yet been brave enough to buy.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2023?

Since 2015, it’s taken place in July, until lockdown in 2020 when it was pushed back to October - and then last year, we were treated to a sale in both of the aforementioned months.

This year, it will be in July 11 and 12.

How to take part in Amazon Prime Day

There’s one catch - you need to be a Prime member. To make the most of the sales, you’ll need to subscribe to the service for £8.99 per month or £95 per year - or a discounted £4.49 per month or £47.49 per year for students.

Alongside the sales, you’ll be able to access Prime Video, Amazon Music, Kindle books and have unlimited one-day delivery and same-day groceries.
