It’s been nearly six years since Nintendo released its hand-held console the Nintendo Switch. When the world locked down in 2020, the console became hugely popular amongst gamers who had long been fans of Nintendo – but also with a lot of people newly stuck at home and looking for entertainment.

And entertaining they are. There are three models of the console to choose from — the original Nintendo Switch, the Nintendo Switch OLED and the Nintendo Switch Lite.

All three have slightly different functions and also come at different price points. If you’re struggling to choose between the different models, we’ve written an article with the pros and cons of the Nintendo Switch vs Lite.

With the latest Nintendo Switch model, the OLED, being released nearly two years ago, we’re beginning to see discounts across different consoles. Some are just on the consoles themselves, but as you’re likely to also buy some games or accessories either when you buy a Nintendo Switch or soon after, it makes sense to buy these in a bundle with the console – and this is where we’re seeing some of the greatest savings.

There are also options to make savings by buying refurbished or pre-owned models, which is a great way to act more sustainably as well as saving a bit of cash.

Here are all the best offers on Nintendo Switch in the UK right now.
