Prime Day Switch Deals: Best Nintendo Switch Discounts So Far

Amazon Prime Day is right around the corner (June 21-22, to be exact), and that’s great news for Nintendo Switch owners (or prospective buyers) looking to pick up some new games and gear. It’s a safe bet that there will be plenty of Prime Day Switch deals, including discounts on first-party exclusives, useful accessories, and possibly even Switch consoles themselves. You can also count on deals on Nintendo collectibles, toys, and other merch. Between Prime Day and the myriad other anti-Prime Day sales that will be running at retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, GameStop, and Target, you’re about to have a fantastic opportunity to stock up on all of the Nintendo things on your wishlist.

Ahead of sale, we’ve rounded up some ideas of Prime Day Switch deals to expect based on last year’s Prime Day sale and recent trends we’ve been seeing. We’ve also included some Nintendo Switch deals that are available now ahead of the main event. For more on Prime Day, make sure to check out our roundups of the best Prime Day deals and best Prime Day tech deals. If you don’t already have an Amazon Prime subscription, we have a guide detailing how to get a Prime membership for free so you can shop the deals. Also, if you want to prepare for the deals bonanza, take a peek at our tips and tricks for getting the best Prime Day deals. If you also own a PS4 or PS5, we’ve rounded up all of the best Prime Day PlayStation deals so far.

Prime Day Nintendo Switch console deals

It will be interesting to see if Nintendo Switch consoles are discounted during Prime Day 2021. While we didn’t see any discounts during Prime Day last year, but that may have been due to stock shortages caused by the pandemic. Stock stabilized during the holidays, and there were a few discounts and deals on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite, including a bundle containing the Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and three months of Nintendo Switch Online for $300. Though an official Nintendo bundle seems unlikely, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a Prime Day Switch deal where retailers throw in a game or accessory with the purchase of a console.

At the moment, you can grab the adorable Animal Crossing-themed Switch for $300 at Amazon. While the limited-edition console has been easier to find as of late, it’s still sold out at most major retailers. You can also get a bundle containing the Animal Crossing Switch, New Pokemon Snap, and a family subscription to Nintendo Switch Online for $379 on eBay.

Prime Day Switch controller deals

There’s no shortage of Nintendo Switch controllers out there. From first-party options like Joy-Cons and the popular Pro Controller to third-party pads of all shapes and sizes, Nintendo Switch owners have a lot to choose from. This also means that we will undoubtedly see Prime Day Switch deals on controllers. While we wouldn’t expect to see huge discounts on Joy-Cons or the Pro Controller, some of the best third-party gamepads are bound to be on sale. There are already some solid deals on Switch controllers, including a $10 discount on the Pro Controller and Joy-Cons and nice savings on some budget-minded options.

Prime Day Switch headset deals

Headset support for the Nintendo Switch can be confusing since the Switch doesn’t natively support Bluetooth, and you need the Nintendo Switch Online app on your phone to chat with friends in some games. Still, it’s nice to have a dedicated headset for Switch, even if you’re just using it for private listening at home or on the go. We expect to see deals on universal headsets during Prime Day, so you should be able to grab a great headset for less. Ahead of Prime Day, there are already some quality deals on headsets, including a few great universal ones. We’ve also included a highly rated Bluetooth adapter in the list below.

Prime Day Switch microSD deals

The Nintendo Switch’s onboard 32GB storage gets eaten up quickly, but microSD cards can solve this bothersome issue. Thankfully, microSD cards are pretty cheap in general, even when looking at high-capacity options. Amazon already has some solid deals on high-end cards from Samsung and SanDisk, including the Super Mario-themed card designed specifically with the Switch in mind. Keep in mind that the Nintendo-themed microSD cards purely offer a different look; they don’t feature any additional benefits. We wouldn’t be surprised to see even better microSD card deals during Prime Day, though.

Prime Day Switch Online deals

Nintendo Switch Online typically costs $20 per year for an individual membership or $35 per year for a family subscription. As a relatively cheap subscription already, it’s no surprise discounts on the membership are pretty rare. The best deal we’ve ever seen on individual memberships was $15 during Black Friday, and family membership discounts were only available when buying the subscription in a bundle with a microSD card. While it’s not out of the realm of possibility that we’ll see a discount this year during Prime Day, it’s certainly not guaranteed.

Prime Day Switch carrying case deals

A carrying case is an essential accessory for Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite owners. You don’t want to toss your Switch in a backpack without some protection. After all, the screen is made of plastic and the console itself is prone to scratches. Thankfully, there’s a seemingly endless selection of affordable Nintendo Switch carrying cases, and we’d expect to see plenty of deals during Prime Day. Switch carrying cases come in all shapes and sizes as well as themes based on popular franchises and games. We wouldn’t be surprised at all to see deals on cases inspired by heavy hitters like Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, and Animal Crossing. In the meantime, there are already some solid deals on Switch carrying cases you can buy now.

Prime Day Switch game deals

Over the past couple of years, first-party Nintendo Switch games have seen more consistent discounts. Most of the time, you can find some of the best Nintendo Switch games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for $10 off. On Prime Day, we expect the discounts to be bigger. A decent number of Switch exclusives should be on sale for around $40. To get an idea of which games to expect, here’s a list of some notable Switch games that were $40 during Prime Day 2020:

It’s worth noting that during Black Friday last year, select first-party Switch games were discounted to just $30. While we wouldn’t count on that for Prime Day, it wouldn’t be shocking to see retailers try to out-discount each other on popular Switch games. While you wait for Prime Day deals on Switch games, check out some of the notable game deals available now below.

EA Play Adds Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered On June 24

EA Play will add Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered on June 24. The remastered version improves on the original 2010 racing game of the same name by enhancing visuals and including all the DLCs. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered launched in 2020 for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

The game allows players to be either racers or cops. The racers’ goal is to evade the cops, and the cops, obviously, are meant to chase and capture the racers. The remastered version also includes an asynchronous multiplayer feature called Autolog that allows friends to compare stats and progression.

Now Playing: Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered PC Gameplay

In our 2010 Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit review, we gave it 8.5/10. Reviewer Justin Calvert commented, “Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is one of the most thrilling racing games around. It doesn’t matter which side of the law you prefer to play on; the unpredictable nature of these events and the sheer speed at which they’re played make this a tough game to put down.”

EA Play is Electronic Arts’ subscription service that offers players a range of EA titles. The service is currently available on PC via Origin and Steam, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. EA Play is $5 monthly or $30 annually. It’s also included in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Microsoft’s video game subscription service.

EA Play recently added Knockout City, a new “dodgebrawl” game that has gained 5 million new players since launch. The game is inspired by dodgeball, and players need to knockout other opponents with balls that all have their own special properties. If you don’t have EA Play, Knockout City is free to play until level 25.

United Airlines Announces Plan to Bring Supersonic Flights Back

United Airlines is set to purchase 15 Boom “Overture” airliners, which are supersonic commercial airplanes that fly on 100% sustainable aviation fuel.

This news comes by way of United Airlines and Boom Supersonic, which announced today on Twitter and in a blog post that the company will purchase 15 Overture planes once this model of plane passes “United’s demanding safety, operating, and sustainability requirements,” with the option to purchase 35 more at a later date.

“Through innovation and collaboration, United and Boom are realizing a shared mission to connect the world safely and sustainably,” the blog post reads. “At speeds twice as fast as today’s passenger jets, United’s new Overture fleet will open countless possibilities for new experiences and human connection.”

The Overture could be the first commercial supersonic plane since Aérospatiale and British Aircraft Corporation’s Concorde jet, which was retired in 2003 after flying for 27 years, as reported by The Verge.

United’s own timeline sees Overture airplanes carrying passengers via supersonic flight by 2029, with the planes set to rollout in 2025 and the first flight scheduled for 2026.

United’s CEO, Scott Kirby, says today’s announcement is about building a “more innovative, sustainable airline” and that such an airline features a fleet of supersonic planes. These planes fly twice as fast as today’s commercial flights and will use 100% sustainable fuel, which, according to Boom, makes these planes carbon-neutral.

“The world’s first order of net-zero carbon supersonic aircraft marks a significant step toward our mission to create a more accessible world,” Boom CEO and founder, Blake Scholl, writes in the blog post. “At speeds twice as fast, United passengers will experience all the advantages of life lived in person, from deeper, more productive business relationships to longer, more relaxing vacations to far-off destinations.”

According to Boom, a flight from New York to London, which currently takes about six and a half hours, will only take three and a half hours aboard an Overture plane. Don’t get too excited just yet, though, because The Verge reports that Boom says tickets will cost $5000 per seat. United, however, says it’s not ready to announce pricing yet.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”slug=gorgeous-photos-of-earth-from-space&captions=true”]

United Airlines says the Overture onboard experience is “designed for comfort, productivity, and privacy, featuring in-seat entertainment screens, ample personal space, and contactless technology.” You can see a render of what that looks like below:

Boom Supersonic says the Overture will have a passenger capacity of 65 to 88 people with a cruising altitude of 60,000 feet. It comes in at 205 feet in length and can hit speeds as fast as Mach 1.7, which is the equivalent of 1304.36 miles per hour.

While waiting for these planes to take to the skies, check out this story about how the U.S. government is expected to release a UFO report soon (perhaps the Overture can keep up with these UFOs) and then check out this footage of UFOs released by the Pentagon.

PlayStation Hits Deals: Get Some of PlayStation’s All-Time Best Games for Under $10

Every year before E3, Sony puts on a massive Days of Play sale with savings on everything PlayStation, from games to subscriptions to accessories. This year we didn’t get a special-edition console, but that’s totally fine. It’s hard enough to get the regular console. If you want to pad out your PS4 library, or you have a PS5 and want to play some of the last generation’s best games, a whole slew of PlayStation Hits games for PS4 are marked down to just under $10. These are the prices we usually see on Black Friday, so I say go for it.

Oh, and if you’re looking for deals on PlayStation Plus (where you can find a lot of these games available for download to your PS5 if you’re a member), there are plenty of chances to save on 12-month memberships, too.

Prime Day Phone Deals: Samsung Galaxy S21, Google Pixel 3 XL, And More Early Discounts

Amazon Prime Day 2021 is coming on June 21 and 22. Though plenty of Prime Day phone deals are surely coming on those exact dates, Amazon isn’t waiting for the big day to roll out its discounts, and some of its competitors have joined in. The retailer is already discounting prices on a few Android phone models, especially in last year’s Samsung Galaxy line. Just like last year, most of the early Prime Day phone deals this year aren’t on the latest models, but you can get rewarded for your patience with a hefty discount on a model that’s only about a year old. You can, however, save $100 on an unlocked 2021 Samsung Galaxy S21 5G.

As more early Prime Day deals start to go live, we’ll be updating this roundup with all the best Prime Day cell phone deals as they appear. In the meantime, catch up on more of our Prime Day 2021 guides, including how to get Amazon Prime for free and tips for saving the most money on Prime Day.

17 Disney+ TV Shows To Stream In June 2021

Disney+ is a bit of an odd duck when it comes to stream services. It boasts an impressive amount of nostalgic content, thanks to Disney’s massive claim on various studios, but it is also home to the first ever live action Star Wars and Marvel TV shows. The mix of old and new makes for a complicated, sometimes even overwhelming menu of possibilities to navigate through–especially if you’re just looking for something to toss on and watch while you work or cook.

But don’t despair–we’re here to make those choices easier for you! GameSpot has collected a list of the best TV shows to stream on Disney+ right now, from bizarre puppet-based sitcoms like Dinosaurs to feel-good walks down memory lane like DuckTales (both the classic and the rebooted versions are here!).

This list will help you make your tricky Disney+ choices through June 2021–and don’t forget, Loki will be premiering on June 9 and run weekly on Wednesdays, so factor that into your calculations as well.

PSVR: All the Games Announced in Today’s Spotlight

VR isn’t going anywhere. At least not when it comes to PlayStation’s PSVR games. PlayStation presented several new trailers and updates on previously announced PSVR games during Thursday’s Spotlight stream.

PlayStation didn’t have any news about VR games on PS5, so set expectations accordingly. The official E3 2021 schedule was also released today if you want to see more games on the horizon.

Here’s everything we saw at the PSVR Spotlight.

Sniper Elite VR

Release date: July 8

The Sniper Elite franchise finally hits VR, complete with all the Nazi skull-shattering you can shake a Move controller at. As an Italian Partisan, you’ll stealth and shoot your way through villas, beachside fortifications, and bunkers with your trusty sniper rifle, along with some less sneaky weapons. The infamous X-ray camera returns, letting you witness all the internal carnage a single shot can wreak.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/06/03/sniper-elite-vr-release-date-trailer”]

Wanderer

Release date: Summer 2021

Travel through time, meet some of history’s most infamous names, and do everything from race an RC car on the moon, play in a 60’s psychedelic band, or solve ancient Mayan puzzles. Despite those silly diversions, Wanderer’s story seems to swing pretty serious, with a character narrating that some things, like a world ravaged by nature following some sort of cataclysm, are inevitable.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/06/03/wanderer-reveal-trailer”]

Arashi: Castles of Sin

Release date: Summer 2021

Stealth your way through the castles of feudal-era Japan in a quest for vengeance, all with the help of a grappling hook, ninja stars, your sword, and a faithful wolf. Yes, you can pet the dog. When you’re not dueling samurai to the death or laying traps for their soldiers, that is.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/06/03/arashi-castles-of-sin-announce-trailer”]

Puzzle Bobble 3D: Vacation Odyssey

Release date: “Later this year.”

The puzzle-solving side of the classic Bobble franchise gets a makeover in this beachside VR game. You’ll aim your cannon to blow up bubbles, which now take on 3D shapes instead of flat 2D walls, adding an extra layer of strategy to the mix. There’s a story mode with 100 puzzles, plus an infinite mode and a 1 vs. 1 “Duel Mode” that quick matches across PS4, PS5, and PSVR.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/06/03/puzzle-bobble-3d-vacation-odyssey-announce-trailer”]

Fracked

Release date: Summer 2021

A colorful story-driven shooter with a wider range of movement, an emphasis on verticality (on and below a single Alaskan mountain), and a pair of deployable skis. VR players might be curious to learn there’s no teleportation mechanic like other VR games tend to have, with developer nDreams focusing on fluid movement between cover.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/06/03/fracked-full-gameplay-reveal-trailer”]

Wind & Leaves

Release date: July 27

Regrow a blighted landscape into a lush ecosystem using tree seeds and your time-traveling powers. To fully restore the land, you’ll use your green thumb to experiment with seed types, grow gardens, and contend with changing weather patterns.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/06/03/winds-leaves-gameplay-trailer”]

After the Fall

Release date: TBA

This 4-player co-op shooter puts you in the shoes of a Harvest Runner, one of the few survivors brave enough to enter a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles that’s been ravaged by wintery weather and undead creatures known as “Snowbreeds.” Different kinds of Snowbreeds will keep you on your toes, including the explosive “Eater” or the lumbering one-hit killer “Juggernaut.” You’ll level the playing field with upgradeable firearms.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/06/03/after-the-fall-closer-look-enemies-combat-video”]
