We may be in a bit of a lull for major new game releases, but there’s been no shortage of great sales. Right now, you can get a Nintendo Switch console with neon blue and red Joy-Cons for just $259.99 at Walmart and Amazon. That’s $40 off Nintendo’s standard Switch console. Sure, it’s not the fancier OLED model that came out last year, but this discounted price is $90 less than that model, and it, of course, plays all the same games.
The Nintendo Switch may feel like an aging console these days, as it’s five years old, but it’s still bolstered by excellent first-party Nintendo titles and a wealth of indie games — all of which you can take on the go or play docked on a TV. While many fans are thirsty for some kind of 4K-capable Switch Pro, there’s a reason Nintendo continues to have strong sales, even if it may have peaked.
The standard Switch comes with a 720p 6.2-inch touchscreen and 32GB of onboard storage that you can — and should — upgrade with a microSD card. When playing on your TV with the included dock, it displays at 1080p resolution.
As for games and accessories, there’s no shortage of options out there, many of which have been discounted recently. Here are a few worthy of your consideration:
