The best Amazon Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals have been so alluring this year that my remaining shelf space is starting to look smaller than ever.
There are a ton of record-low savings on everything from the Suikoden I & II HD Remastered collection, which is down to $29.99 at Amazon, to the Hundred Line, which is just $49.99 at Amazon, despite the fact that they're both only a few months old. Even the limited edition version of Pocky & Rocky Reshrined, which comes with an adorable plushie, is down to just $39.99 at Amazon during this week's savings. If that isn't music to the ears of any physical game fan, I don't know what is.
To make this year's Prime Day Switch game deals even sweeter, the backwards compatibility of the Nintendo Switch 2 means you can still pick these bargains up, even if you traded in your dusty old original Switch last month. But there's only a few hours left of Prime Day to go, so if you want any of these games, I'd highly suggest you grab them before their deal prices are gone for good.
Why you should still buy Nintendo Switch 2 games in 2025
Unless you have absolutely no space and aren't a fan of physical games, it's absolutely still worth it to pick up physical Nintendo Switch games in 2025. In fact, I'd even argue right now is the perfect time to still grab original Switch games.
For one, we're starting to move further into the Switch 2 era, so some older physical games may become hard to find. If there are any older games, especially of the horror genre, that you've had your eye on, as a collector, I recommend you pick them up asap before they're snatched up by re-sellers.
Secondly, the Nintendo Switch 2 might be out, but its backwards compatibility means you can still play your physical original Switch carts on the new handheld, and doing so might even net you some performance upgrades depending on the game, too.
Remember, Nintendo is still working hard at ensuring all its older games work smoothly on the new handheld, so not every single release will work right now. The tech giant is regularly updating its Switch 2 game compatibility list, which you can always check to ensure your next purchase won't have any issues.
Lastly, Nintendo Switch games are pretty notorious for their prices, so big events like Prime Day are the best times to add to your collection for less. Sure, you might not have the time to play all the above games right now, but at least grabbing them now means not having to pay full prices once Prime Day comes to an end on July 11.
