If you’re someone that loves gaming and you don’t have a Nintendo Switch yet, chances are that you’ve considered getting one. From the open world awesomeness of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild to the franchise-enlivening fun of Super Mario Odyssey, this versatile little console has a lot going for it. And that’s not to mention all the exciting upcoming games, which include Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu and Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
As with any relatively new games console, though, buying a Nintendo Switch can seem like a costly investment when you look at the RRP. So, to try and save you a few quid and to help you get the very best value for money, we’ve had a trawl through the internet and collected the very best Nintendo Switch deals. To peruse our wallet-friendly findings, read on…
NB: If you click any of the links in this article and then make a purchase, our site could get some support. It’s your call, though!
Get a console, a game and some swag for £350
Right now, our very favourite Nintendo Switch deal comes from Currys. This bastion of British shopping is currently selling the Switch console with a 12GB microSD card, a case, some headphones and the game of your choice – from Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, MarioKart 8 Deluxe or Just Dance 2018 – for £350. That’s a fifty quid saving on what it would cost you to buy all the bits separately. You can click any of those links to go to each specific deal’s page, if you’d like.
Get a console with a game and a case for £330
If you’re not fussed by the headphones or the SD card, you can click over to the Nintendo store and make the most of an offer that will get you a Switch, a case and the game of your choice for £330.
Your choices of game this time include Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, MarioKart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Kirby Star Allies, Pokken Tournament DX, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fire Emblem Warriors, Just Dance 2018, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, DOOM, Arms and Bayonetta 2 (which also comes with a download code for Bayonetta).
Get a console and two games, from £330
Alternatively, you could forgo the case as well and pick up a Switch with two games from GAME. The iconic geeky retailer has numerous bundles to this effect: you can get the Switch with Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle and Super Mario Odyssey for £330; or you can get the Switch with Mario + Rabbids and MarioKart 8 Deluxe for £330; or you can get the Switch with Mario Kart and Zelda: Breath Of The Wild for £350.
Get a console and one game, from £290
Or if one game would be enough to get you started, GAME also has some offers for that sort of thing: the Switch with Pokken Tournament would cost you £290, as would the Switch with LEGO Worlds, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 or Rocket League. Or, if you’d rather have a bigger name game, you could buy the Switch with Zelda, MarioKart or Super Mario Odyssey for a cost of £310.
But the console on its own for £259.99
If you just want to buy the console on its own and sort the games out yourself, the place to look at the moment is Zavvi, where the Switch is currently on offer at £259.99. You’d be looking at spending an extra twenty quid for the same thing at Amazon, GAME or Currys.
Get a free gift when you buy a game
As for buying individual Nintendo Switch games, the official Nintendo store is running a fun little deal right now to try and tempt you: if you buy any Switch game from a rather long list of options, you get to choose a free gift. The gifts available include a 3D keychain in the shape of Mario’s hat, a black and gold MarioKart T-shirt, a Splatoon 2 notebook, a play stand, a game card case, a protective screen filter, a NES keychain and a Union Aerospace DOOM T-shirt. What fun!
