Amazon's Prime Day event is offering significant discounts on a range of useful accessories for the Nintendo Switch 2, with many deals exclusive to Prime members and ending soon. While official Nintendo accessories are not part of the sale, a variety of third-party peripherals are available at reduced prices.
A substantial saving can be found on storage solutions, with Samsung's 256GB microSD Express card seeing a 50% discount. This card is crucial for the Switch 2, which requires the faster microSD Express format for expanded game storage. The console comes with more internal storage than its predecessor, but modern game sizes necessitate additional capacity.
Protection for the console is also heavily discounted. The tomtoc Slim Case, noted as ideal for travelers, is at its lowest price ever across all color options. Additionally, the Belkin Pro Charging Case, a portable charging solution, is experiencing its first-ever discount of 15%. For those seeking more aesthetic options, a Sanrio-themed case is available with over a 60% price cut.
Essential screen protection is also on offer, with amFilm's Auto-Alignment OneTouch screen protector two-pack priced below $10, marking its lowest price to date. These tempered glass protectors safeguard the Switch 2's screen from scratches and damage.
While official Joy-Con and Pro Controllers are not on sale, several reliable third-party controller options are available. This includes Nintendo-themed versions of the PowerA Advantage controller, which has been recognized as a strong budget-friendly choice. Furthermore, PDP's Riffmaster Wireless Guitar Controller, suitable for rhythm games like Fortnite Festival and Rock Band, is also at its lowest price.
Discounts extend to game storage cases. As the Switch 2 uses the same physical cartridge format as the original Switch, cases designed for either console are compatible. A selection of both colorful and classic game cartridge cases are available at their lowest prices ever.
Regarding the Switch 2 console itself, a price increase is scheduled for September. While a brief deal on the console was available through Woot, it sold out quickly. Currently, a notable bundle offers the base console with a choice of games, including Pokemon Pokopia, Mario Kart World, or Donkey Kong Bananza, at the standard console price.
