It's not too late to snag these Prime Day Switch deals for under $50
Not all Prime Day Switch deals have to break the bank
It's not too late to snag a Nintendo Switch Prime Day deal for under $50 if you're in the US, but you have to act fast, as the day is almost over and once the clock strikes midnight, the deals are gonezo.
Sometimes I wish there was a filter on Prime Day gaming deals that only shows offers under $50 because, I'll be quite frank, I'm in the process of buying a house and have absolutely no business buying a new PS5 game or, worse yet, a gaming laptop. That said, I can feel slightly less irresponsible perusing guides like this one, collating all of the best sub-$50 Prime Day deals for sorry folks like me who just can't help themselves. We also have something similar for PS5 Prime Day deals under $50.
Naturally, don't expect to find an actual Switch for $50; the cheapest one we've seen is this refurbished Switch Lite going for $149 from Walmart. What you will find are plenty of Switch accessories, both first and third-party, and cheap games, so strap in and prepare your wallet for these last-minute Prime Day Switch deals you can snatch up for less than $50.
Get a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime
You can collect a free trial of Amazon Prime, which - when timed right - will give you access to all the best offers without putting a penny into the subscription. But even if you're not interested in sticking with it, just go for the trial and then cancel it. Sign up then cancel before the $14.99/£7.99 per month cost kicks in.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope | $59.99 $39.49 at Amazon
Save $20 - This charming Mario spinoff is now available for much cheaper than usual thanks to Prime Day, and it's one to jump on if you're a fan of cute turn based strategy games. If for nothing else, it's worth it for Rabbid Peach alone.

Just Dance 2023 Edition | $59.99 $14.99 at Amazon
Save $45 - If you're looking to bag the latest Just Dance game on Switch you're in luck, as it's currently a whopping 75% cheaper thanks to Prime Day.

Hawksbill Nintendo Switch handheld controller | $49.95 $39.95 at Amazon
Save $10 - These things are popping up everywhere right now, promising a more comfortable controller system for your Switch. While we'd generally recommend the Hori Split Pad Pro that's not quite on sale just yet - and this model has hit its lowest ever price.

Super Mario Odyssey | $59.99 $44.99 at Walmart
