It’s almost the end of Prime Day, but you shouldn’t let these awesome Switch bargains pass you by. I’ve been clicking around Amazon for the better part of an hour, and my favoritePrime Day Switch dealsreflect just how much choice there is out there still even as the sales season winds down for the month.
For starters, there are two brand new Switch games on my radar, including Shin Megami Tensei V sittingat $39.99instead of $59.99 (its lowest ever price). I’ve also picked out some great controller savings you should definitely take a look at, especially any Zelda Tears of the Kingdom fans out there who want to save on some Switch Pro gear, as you can grab a PowerA Wireless controllerfor $29.99right now (down from $44.99).
Where possible, I’ve included UK prices for as many of thePrime Day gaming dealsyou’ll find below. The sales might not apply for our non-US storefront shoppers, though, so be sure to scroll to the bottom for some geographically relevant last-minute Switch deals to take advantage of near you.
Okay, here’s what I found for you:

Should you buy Switch games and accessories?
The above Prime Day deals for Nintendo Switch are a varied bunch, and I’m sure that something among them will call to you. I can personally vouch for the pastel Joy-Cons, having picked up a pair of them myself at a recent sale in a bid to give my Switch a little pop of color and personality.

At the end of the day, you should pick up one (or more!) of the above Switch deals if you’re looking for some worthwhile bargains at this late stage in the Prime Day game. Which of the bunch takes your fancy is very much down to personal taste (though I certainly want all of them).
