The Nintendo Switch OLED returns to one of its cheapest prices at Amazon
We’ve only seen the console at a lower price once before
If you’re planning on picking up a new Nintendo Switch OLED to make the most of the handheld’s greatest games, there’s currently a deal available at Amazon, and it’s one of the cheapest prices we’ve ever seen when it comes to this console.
The console has only been cheaper than its current asking price once – during the Amazon Prime Day summer sale event earlier this year, and, as expected, it sold out rather quickly.
In our review of the OLED model, we praised it for its bright 7in screen and durable kickstand, compared with the original model, making handheld and tabletop gaming “an absolute joy”.
This year, we’ve also seen releases of a Splatoon 3-themed Switch OLED, and even a Pokémon-themed one for the upcoming release of Scarlet and Violet.
To find out how to shop the sale on Nintendo’s latest console, keep reading the rest of this article.
