We mentioned earlier that we didn't expect to find any discounts on the latest Switch, the OLED version with its improved screen, stronger kickstand and twice the storage capacity. There certainly aren't many deals to be had, but in the UK Game does have some discounts on bundles. There are several available, all offering the Nintendo Switch OLED + one game for £319.19, which means you're basically getting the game for under £10. Choose from the OLED with Rayman Legends, Lego DC Supervillains, Mario and Rabbids Kingdom or Lego The Incredibles.
No such luck in the US, where your best chance to get the OLED Switch is currently at GameStop for the standard price of $349.99, or for $329.99 pre-owned.
The January sales are usually a good time to find discounts on Nintendo Switch games, and this year is no exception. One of the best places to find bargains is Nintendo's own e-store, both in the USA and the UK.
For example, in the US, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle has dropped from $59.99 to just $11.99; Blasphemous Switch has been reduced from $24.99 to $6.24, and the price of Secret Neighbour has slumped from $19.99 to $4.99.
In the UK, meanwhile, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition is down from £49.99 to £24.99, Mario Golf: Super Rush has been discounted from £49.99 to £39.99, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is reduced from £39.99 to £21.99.
The New Year is traditionally a time for turning over a new leaf and getting fit and healthy. And here are two great bundles in the UK to help you do just that. Amazon has a bundle of the Nintendo Switch (Neon Red/Neon blue) + Just Dance 2022 for just £263.99, saving you £65.99 on the price of buying separately. Alternatively you could get the Nintendo Switch Neon Red/Neon Blue + Ring Fit Adventure for £309, a saving of £60.99 on what would normally cost you £369.99 in total.
In the US, stocks of the latest Switch console, the Nintendo Switch OLED, have been rarer than hen's teeth of late. And things aren't like to get better: a couple of days ago, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa stated that component shortages means the OLED could be short of supply in 2022.
So we're not at all surprised that where stock is available, prices have risen above the baseline price of $349.99 (note that they're "temporarily sold out" on Nintendo's official site). For example, the lowest price on Amazon is currently $399.99, and that's for a used model; for new, you're looking at £439 and upwards!
Thankfully we've found a better price than that: GameStop is currently selling stock at the standard price of $349.99. Plus if you're happy with a preowned console, then at time of writing, then you can even get one for $329.99, saving you $20.
In the UK, meanwhile, there aren't any big discounts either. But at least there is stock, and you don't have to pay over the odds, with Very matching the standard price of £309.99 and Amazon discounting it by a whole 99p, at £309.
If you're in the US and already have a Nintendo Switch, here's a great bundle from Amazon.com that can save you a lot of cash.
Firstly, you get a SanDisk 128GB MicroSDXC Card, worth $35, which is optimised for the Switch, and allows you to store extra games and data on your device.
Secondly, you also get a 12-month membership to Nintendo Switch Online, worth $20. This online subscription service includes cool features such as online multiplayer, cloud backup for your game data, the ability to voice chat with other players, access to a library of 100+ Super NES and NES games, as well as other promotions and offers.
In total, these two things would add up to $55, but Amazon's bundle only costs $40.98, saving you $14.02, or 25 per cent of the total. These kinds of offers don't tend to last long, so don't hang about if you're interested.
If a Switch is top of your new year sales list in the UK, you're in luck. Right now, Very has an excellent bundle deal that combines a Nintendo Switch console up with three super-popular games – Animal Crossing New Horizon, Minecraft and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – all for £359.99.
You save about £20 by getting them as a bundle, which doesn't sound like much, but it saved the hassle of finding and ordering them individually, plus removes any extra postage costs too. Hurry though, this bundle is selling fast!
Welcome to our Nintendo Switch January sales live blog. As the new year rapidly approaches, retailers across the globe are offering more deals on Nintendo's popular console. After Christmas we saw some really decent deals, however, especially in the US, stock levels were still sparse.
Thankfully, there is a lot more to speak of now, however, you need to be wary you're not paying over the odds. That's why we'll be posting all the best deals here as they arrive, so if it's Switch you're after, you're sure to get good value for money. We'll also be looking for accessories and games, so if you've already got a console, you'll still find some offers of interest.
Don't forget, the standard retail price for the Nintendo Switch is $299 / £259, and for the Nintendo Switch Lite $220 / £199-£239. Anything lower than that and you're saving some cash, anything higher and the price has been inflated due to high demand.
