Super Mario Odyssey is still on sale, but you'll need to download it

Mario reaching through water and bubbles in Super Mario Odyssey

Super Mario Odyssey still remains one of the best games you can throw on your system, and with a Switch 2 update it'll help the newer handheld shine as well. This one launched with the OG Switch, believe it or not, and it's still as stubborn as ever on price.

The $59.99 MSRP has given way to a $39.99 sales price in Amazon's Prime Day Nintendo Switch 2 deals, but physical stock has all been snapped up. You'll still find discounted digital codes on the site, though.

I can personally recommend the red Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro

I've recently slapped this chunkier grip shell onto my own Nintendo Switch 2 and that red-panelled back looks gorgeous in person. The casing is sturdy as anything as well - there's even little fold-outs for easy Joy-Con removal. It's dockable, but adds a little extra bulk to the unit as a whole so if you don't already have a screen protector on I'd add one as soon as possible. It slides nicely into the cradle, but there is more resistance to be aware of.

Our favorite budget headset, no matter the sales

The Turtle Beach Airlite Fit is the best gaming headset we've tested in the budget category. Coming in at under $20 this Prime Day, it still packs surprisingly potent audio for its price, while offering a no-fuss wired setup that makes perfect sense for kids (and adults who forget to charge). There's no point in paying for features you don't need - don't break the bank if you don't have to.

Annoyingly the case I use every day isn't included in Prime Day Nintendo Switch 2 deals

I grabbed the PowerA Slim Case as a cheap holdover when I first picked up my Switch 2, but this thing has stuck the course so far. It's well-priced already, at $19.99, but it's unfortunate that there are no Prime Day deals on here. I was all ready to start celebrating a $14.99 sale price, but we're only down 9% here today.

PSA: It also fits that Supcase shell - it's a squeeze, but it works

Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster is under $20 at Best Buy

We're heading over enemy lines now, into Best Buy territory. That's because you'll find the Switch 2 edition of the Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster available for just $19.99. We called this remake "secretly the Switch 2's must-play RPG" when we got our hands on a copy and for $19.99 it's among the cheapest titles for Ninty's latest system this Prime Day.

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy | $39.99 $19.99 at Best Buy

Sticking with Best Buy for a moment

I've also spotted Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 going for its lowest price yet on Best Buy's competing Prime Day shelves. The store's Tech Fest sale has the Switch 2 version down to $29.99 right now, for a $30 discount on its $59.99 MSRP.

Listen, we'll level with you - the Switch 2 version is decent, but it's not going to beat the PS5 or PC for fighting game controls. If you've got either of those platforms to hand, Street Fighter is going to feel much more at home elsewhere. If you mainline your Switch 2 this is still perfectly fine.

Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 | $59.99 $29.99 at Best Buy

Now over to Woot

Woot has the PowerA Advantage Wired Controller down to $14.99 right now - that beats Amazon's cheapest $17.99 sales price, and the black model is even more expensive. This is definitely a cheaper gamepad in the hands, but it's still the best Nintendo Switch 2 controller for those on a strict budget.

It feels far more hollow and its buttons aren't as satisfying as the Pro 2 Controller, but for a fraction of the price it makes for an excellent multiplayer pickup. Whether you just want a cheap option for a more traditional gamepad feel or you're stocking up on player 2s (and 3s and 4s), this is a price I can easily recommend for the wired model.

PowerA Advantage Wired Controller | $39.99 $14.99 at Woot

I'm still waiting for my favorite Switch 2 accessory to drop its price

Genki Covert Dock 3 on a wooden desk in front of an Asus ROG Ally and Nintendo Switch 2

(Image credit: Future)

The Genki Covert Dock 3 is one of my absolute go-tos for the Switch 2. It's a revitalized version of the original Covert Dock that allows for full new-gen compatibility with 65W of power and 4K resolutions supported. If you've never heard of it, it's essentially a tiny, pocket friendly dock.

Perfect for travel, all you need is an HDMI cable and you're good to go (with the included USB-C). It's the size of a regular outlet adapter, but allows for quick and easy docking wherever you are with the added bonus of a USB-A port for controllers and headsets.

Unfortunately, this one's difficult to get hold of. It's currently only sold via Genki's own site and hasn't yet hit Amazon. We're still at the full $69.99 price - but the previous generation regularly hit sub-$50 price points in Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals. It might be too soon for this one this year (it's still on backorder, after all), but it's definitely one to watch.

Alas, the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 is just out of budget

(Image credit: Future/Rosalie Newcombe)

The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 has been around the Prime Day block a few times, but I was hoping for a sub-$50 price tag this time around. It's an excellent Switch 2 controller, but that $69.99 MSRP has only dropped to $51.29 this week. That's still a record-low price on a well established model, though. It's dropped to the low $50s only a handful of times in its life, and only in the last few months. For a TMR controller with a charging dock included (as well as haptics and motion controls) that's pretty solid.

One of the Switch 2's more recent controllers at a record-low price

The EasySMX S10C has a secret weapon; wake functionality.

That's tough to find in a budget Switch 2 controller - normally you're paying the Pro premium. We awarded this cheaper gamepad 4/5 stars in our review - it's a solid entry level model with a few extra frills you won't find even further up the price scale. Hall effect sticks, motion controls, rumble, and a comfortable design make this a must-see, especially at $29.99.

EasySMX S10C | $39.99 $29.99 at Amazon

Belkin's fancy charging cases are over $50, but the base model is $23

(Image credit: Future/Rosalie Newcombe)

Belkin has three clamshell Nintendo Switch 2 cases on the market right now, and from our testing they're some of the best in the business. Unfortunately, the main draw of this brand is its charging - and to pick up one of the 10,000mAh power bank-equipped models you're looking at a minimum of $52.24 (and a maximum of $89.99).

However, the brand's simple Belkin Carrying Case is down to $23.74 in Amazon's Prime Day Nintendo Switch 2 deals, offering up a 21% discount on a still-sturdy case with the extra benefit of a built in AirTag holder. If you need a simple option and don't want to invest in the full charging model, the best price of the year so far is looking pretty solid right now.

Another dockable shell case

(Image credit: Future/Rosalie Newcombe)

The Fastsnail Dockable Case has a few key features that separate it from the Supcase model I highlighted earlier. This one's ready to go with its own kickstand and features a built-in cart storage system as well. That means you're sorted for storage and tabletop mode wherever you are, and the folding screen cover keeps that panel scratch-free as well. Slightly chunkier rear grips may also suit those looking for something more ergonomically minded.

This one's up for $19.99 at Amazon right now, a modest $4 off its original $23.99 MSRP, but still the cheapest it's ever been.

Grab this OG Edition of Mario Party Jamboree and upgrade later

You're still saving about $20 if you grab this $37.99 copy of Super Mario Party Jamboree for the original Nintendo Switch and turn it into the full Switch 2 version via the $19.99 upgrade. All in, that's $57.98 spent, where Amazon is still charging $79 for the full cart in a Switch 2 box.

There are a ton of offers on Woot's site that this applies to, but this is one of the few dropping under $50 this Prime Day.

Super Mario Party Jamboree | $59.99 $37.99 at Woot

Two Mario games for less than $10?

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope

(Image credit: Ubisot)

Amazon has listed this double-feature of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope for just $9.99. These were heavy hitters back in their day - we called the first one an "unmissable Switch game" before giving its sequel 4.5/5 stars in our review.

There's no Switch 2 port in the works just yet, so you'll be running the older software. These are still well worth investigating, though - especially for less than $10.

Mario + Rabbids double-pack | $28.99 $9.99 at Amazon

PSA: Remember the Switch 2 price increases in September

Nintendo announced that the Switch 2 would increase in price from September earlier in the year. The $449.99 console will be jumping up to $499.99 in just a couple of months time. That's the exact same price you'll currently find the best bundle on the shelves, though. Jumping in now means you're paying the same rate, but scoring a free copy of either Pokemon Pokopia, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Mario Kart World at the same time.

Another Switch game with a free Switch 2 update

While you're a little limited if you only look at Switch 2 titles, there are plenty of original Switch games seeing hefty discounts in Amazon's Prime Day deals. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is another OG title with a free performance update for Switch 2 players. The clever dungeon puzzler swaps Link and Zelda out for some excellent logic adventures. It's not one for lovers of classic dungeon crawling, but it's still an excellent time.

At $39.99 this Switch download is just a few cents off its lowest ever price - and this one rarely drops on sale. The last time I saw savings on the digital download was back in January.

An actual discount on official Switch 2 hardware

Ninty hardware doesn't shed its price all too often, it holds its value for a serious amount of time. However, the Switch 2 Camera seems to be bucking that trend this Prime Day.

The first party lens has dropped down to $29.99 this week, a full $25 off the original launch price. That's the first time I've ever seen it on sale for more than a few cents off. If you've just picked up a Switch 2, or you're keen to finally try a more serious GameChat sessions, this is a must-see.

Need a more versatile storage option?

Turtle Beach's PlayTrek 2-in-1 case is already seeing some solid discounts in Amazon's Prime Day deals. For the next 12 hours you can scoop up the larger travel buddy for $39.99 (down from $49.99) - a return to a record-low price we've only seen twice so far in its life.

This was a five-star review from Rosalie, with excellent adjustability, value for money, and versatility in offering both a simple clamshell case and an all-in-one bag.

A much cheaper Joy-Con grip

Nintendo's Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip will still run you $39.88. That's under our $50 budget, but we can do better.

We gave this JSAUX Switch 2 Charging Grip a full 5/5 stars in our review, for its extra chunky grip options, easy charging, and comfortable design. Really, what more could you ask for?

Oh maybe a Prime Day deal.

The $21.99 MSRP has tumbled down to $16.14 this week, the lowest price I've ever seen and more than half the rate of Ninty's own model.

Donkey Kong fans listen up!

Turtle Beach's PlayTrek Travel Case is available in a particularly slick Donkey Kong lenticular design, and it's $10 off in this week's Prime Day Nintendo Switch 2 deals. you'll need to add it to your cart to see the final price (spoilers, it's $19.99) but we're $5 cheaper than I've ever seen this clamshell design go for in the past.

There's a little extra flair in that design, but you're also getting a sturdy chassis with storage for up to 12 physical games. While that front cover can get a little scratched, the actual buffers still feel solid.

PSA: This Ditto all-in-one carry case will soon exist

Hori announced this adorable Ditto all-in-one carry case last week, and I just needed to bring it to your attention. I mean look at it.

The whole thing is designed to hold your handheld, dock, controllers, and more in one purple Poke-themed package. It's not on sale this week, it's not even out yet - but I'll leave more details just below. It technically fits the brief, it is only $39.99.

Pokemon Legends Z-A is still on sale

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Pokemon Legends Z-A is still 36% off for Prime Day, dropping the $69.99 title down to $44.99 for the first time ever. Whether you've been waiting for a discount or Pokopia has spurred that Poke-fever, this is a solid offer and the only discount I've seen at Amazon so far.

We gave Z-A four stars in our review, with a slick real-time combat system, memorable characters, and a fantastic soundtrack making up for the samey environment.

Pokemon Legeds: Z-A | $69.99 $44.99 at Amazon

Best Buy has Street Fighter 6 Amiibo for just $5

Well, technically less than $5.

You'll find a bunch of Street Fighter amiibo sitting at $4.99 in Best Buy's competing Prime Day Nintendo Switch 2 deals. That's a biggie for collectors - these are usually $39.99 a go.

It's not the first time these figures have seen rock-bottom prices on Best Buy's shelves, similar discounts have appeared a handful of times in the past, but it's still an impressive discount for the right player.

Amazon doesn't have stock but Best Buy has Dragon Ball Sparking Zero for $30 off

Amazon has now run out of stock on the Switch 2 version of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, but Best Buy still has $30 off the $59.99 game. This is a Game Key Card but it is the cheapest way to pick up the title right now, even if Bezos was a dollar under this $29.99 sales price.

Want to make the most of the Sega Genesis Collection on Switch 2?

Nintendo Switch Online members with the expansion pass can play a selection of Sega Genesis titles for free, but if you really want to make the most of that perk you'll want to have the right kit. Phil's been road testing the 8Bitdo M30, so far calling it "a near-perfect" gamepad for the system. The 2.4GHz connection keeps latencies low, the whole pad as a neat authentic look and feel, and it's even compatible with the original console if you're going old school.

At $17.49, we're just a buck off a record-low price here, with a 30% discount dropping that already impressive $24.99 MSRP.

Amazon's Persona 3 Reload stock has run out

Thankfully Best Buy still has a record-low $29.99 sales price on the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. With Prime Day Nintendo Switch 2 deals looking a little thin on Bezos's ground this late in the game, it's more important than ever to check around.

This is the second example of Best Buy still going strong on stock while Amazon suffers, giving you another chance to nab a classic JRPG giant for a great price.

Persona 3 Reload | $59.99 $29.99 at Best Buy

Oh hello 8Bitdo Ultimate 2

The 8Bitdo Ultimate 2 seems to have given way to a new sub-$50 price point in the late hours of Prime Day. This one was hovering just above our budget for most of the sale but I've just spotted it at $47.49 all of a sudden. That's a fantastic offer on the 2.4GHz model. While there's no wake functionality in here, this is one of the more robust third party options on the market.

Head to Amazon for Assassin's Creed Shadows

While Best Buy is winning for stock in some areas right now, Amazon still has the upper hand for anyone looking to eagle dive into Assassin's Creed Shadows on Nintendo Switch 2. The latest instalment has hurtled down to $34.99 on the site (whereas Best Buy is still charging $44.99). That's a hefty 42% discount, even if we are still a couple of bucks away from a record low.

We gave Shadows four out of five stars at review, with a fresh take on dual protagonists allowing for a multitude of different gameplay styles while still allowing for that classic stealth and more modern RPG vibes to shine through together.

A personal highlight here

Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined is a fantastic addition to any Switch 2 collection. Don't ask me why, but Dragon Quest is made to be played on a Nintendo handheld and I won't have any of this PS5 business getting involved. With a 25% discount at Amazon, the latest remake has just nestled itself neatly into our $50 budget, dropping from $59.99 to $44.99 for the first time.

This one's been discounted a little in its shorter life so far - but it's only ever hit $49.99 in previous sales. We're $5 cheaper in these final Prime Day Nintendo Switch 2 deals.

The Switch 2 controller for PS1 kids

The 8BitDo Pro 3 has a that classic symmetrical PS1 shape we all secretly yearn for. It's a strange gamepad, pairing ultra modern tech like TMR thumbsticks with a slightly outdated design that won't be comfortable for everyone. That charging dock and those extra buttons will certainly pair up for some old Sony fans, though.

8BitDo Pro 3 | $69.99 $45.59 at Amazon

I've actually been looking forward to a discount on this one for some time

(Image credit: Sega)

I've been intrigued by Sonic Racing: Crossworlds for some time now, and Prime Day might be the day I finally pull the trigger. The Switch 2 Edition has jumped from $69.99 to $39.99 for the sale - a sturdy 43% discount and a brand new record-low price. I've only seen this one drop to $50 in the past, and as a relatively recently release today's offer is particularly impressive.

Sonic games like this don't hold their value for very long, so it's not completely out of the blue but still a sturdy discount nonetheless. With a little Mario Kart fatigue setting in, it might be time to try Sega's take.

TomToc's new Switch 2 case is 24% off

(Image credit: Future)

The Switch 2 version of one of my favorite OG Switch cases is in business, with a 24% discount for the final few hours of Prime Day. If you hate bulking out your bag with chunky clamshells, this is the case for you.

It's super streamlined - there's no faffing around with an accessory pouch that will push against your thumbsticks, and the case itself manages to remain sturdy without requiring an unwieldy depth. Throw in a nice selection of color fades and you've got yourself a streamlined little Switch-saver.

At $28.11 you're spending a little more than you would a more budget-oriented PowerA or PDP model, but picking up a more luxurious feeling case as a result.

Only a few hours left to grab Metroid Prime 4 for its lowest price yet

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was a later addition to the Switch 2's lineup, but it's nevertheless seeing one of the system's strongest discounts this Prime Day. Amazon has the latest instalment for its lowest ever price here, a full $25 down from the original $69.99.
