When I'm not using my Xbox, ROG Ally, or Steam Deck, I'm probably playing my Nintendo Switch. I've regularly used my Switch since it launched and have since also acquired a Switch Lite and Switch OLED. I don't even know how many accessories I've tested for these gaming handhelds over the years or how many games I've played on them — but it's been a lot. So, I decided it would be a good idea to round up the very best Nintendo Switch deals for items that I personally have used and approve of. This list includes specific console deals, game deals, and accessory deals too.

Switch it up for the holidays
I absolutely love gaming of any kind and as such I own every major console and gaming handheld on the market. So naturally, in addition to my Xbox Series X|S, ROG Ally, and Steam Deck I spend a lot of time with my Nintendo Switch.
I'm sure I've put much more than 1,000 hours of gaming time on my Switch and Switch OLED. They are fantastic devices that I love for their hybrid nature that lets me play in handheld mode or on a TV whenever the mood strikes me. It's one of the reasons that I included the Switch on our list of the best gaming handhelds. The Switch is approaching its seventh year on the market, and during the course of its run I've been able to check out and use a large number of accessories and games. It's nice to see the very best options on sale right now.
If you're just starting out and trying to decide which Switch to get, I highly recommend getting the original Nintendo Switch or the slightly fancier Switch OLED rather than getting the Switch Lite. I can't even tell you how many friends I've had who go for the Switch Lite because it's cheaper and then end up getting a larger Switch later because their family wants to play together on TV. Remember, the Switch Lite doesn't have the internals necessary for TV docking. Thankfully, there are some awesome Cyber Monday deals going on right now that give you a free game with your Switch or Switch OLED purchase, so make sure to get one of those bundles if you do get anything.
As far as games go, there is such a huge library of the best Nintendo Switch games right now to choose from. The most popular game by far is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which can host up to four players on one Switch as long as there are enough controllers to go around. It's a silly racer that allows people to trip up their opponents while traveling through cartoony worlds.
Finally, if you're an adult I highly recommend getting the Satisfye ZenGrip Pro for your Switch. Due to the fact that none of the Switch iterations have ergonomic grips these handhelds can be very uncomfortable to hold. Personally, my pinkies tend to go numb if I hold them for too long. But the Satisfye accessory fixes that by providing a simple plastic grip that easily slides on and off the system.
