Amazon is discounting the turquoise Nintendo Switch Lite to $170 for a limited time. This deal is sold and shipped by Amazon and is unlikely to last long. The $30 discount is very close to the lowest price Amazon has offered for the Switch Lite. The Switch was briefly available for $165 earlier this year, but the handheld Switch is often sold at full price at major retailers.
Three other Switch Lite colors are also available at discounts, but these are sold by third-party sellers. That said, they ship directly from Amazon, and most deals are eligible for Prime shipping. The yellow Switch Lite is discounted to $176, while the blue and gray models cost about $188. Target has launched an “Animal Crossing” themed pink Switch Lite bundle, which includes a digital version of “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” for $200.
Even though the Switch is in its late stages of life, the vast library will still be important for many years to come. Over the past seven years, the Switch has amassed one of the most impressive game libraries ever. You’ve got top-notch first-party games like Super Mario Bros. Miracle and The Legend of Zelda: Kingdom Tears, strong third-party support making Switch Lite the perfect choice for indie games, and the Nintendo Switch Online subscription The service has a lot to offer retro gaming fans.
Before you buy, you should know that Nintendo will release a Zelda-themed gold Switch Lite on September 26th, the same day as The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Pre-orders are currently available at several major retailers, including Best Buy and Target. The $210 special edition Switch Lite comes with 12 months of Nintendo Switch Online+ expansion pack (a $50 value).
If you want to buy the Nintendo Switch OLED version, you can pick up the hard-to-find Zelda-themed model at regular price on Amazon.
