Amazon Prime Day 2026 Offers Big Savings on Nintendo Switch 2, Games and Accessories Ahead of September Price Hike
Amazon Prime Day 2026, which ran from June 23 to 26, delivered a suite of discounts that have Nintendo Switch owners looking for a bargain a little early. Prime members were able to purchase the Switch 2 bundle, a handful of launch titles, the newly released Star Fox remake, and a range of accessories at prices lower than the console’s planned September 1 price hike.
The Switch 2, released on June 5 2025, is scheduled to climb from its current $449.99 MSRP to $499.99 on September 1 2026. Amazon’s Prime Day bundle gives buyers a chance to lock in the lower price: the console, a pair of Joy‑Con 2 controllers, and one of three launch titles—Pokémon Pokopia, Mario Kart World, or Donkey Kong Bananza—arrive together in a single purchase.
Game deals were the highlight of the event. The most heavily discounted title was the Star Fox remake, which debuted on June 25 2026. The full remake of the 1997 Star Fox 64 features updated graphics, a new orchestral soundtrack, fully voiced dialogue, and a cooperative mode. Prime Day pricing set the game at $39.88, down from its $59.99 list price.
Other Switch 2 titles saw attractive markdowns: - Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope – $9.99 (save $19) - Sonic X Shadow Generations – $14.99 (save $35) - Suikoden I & II HD Remastered – $19.99 (save $10) - Just Dance 2026 Edition – $19.99 (save $30) - Yakuza 0: Directors' Cut – $24.88 (save $25.11) - Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S – $24.99 (save $15) - Dragon Quest III HD‑2D Remake – $24.99 (save $35) - Hello Kitty Island Adventure – $24.99 (save $15) - Assassin's Creed Shadows – $34.99 (save $24) - Super Mario Odyssey – $39.88 (save $20.11) - Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds – $39.99 (save $30) - Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Nintendo Switch 2 Edition – $44.99 (save $25) - Mario Tennis Fever – $49.94 (save $20.05) - Kirby Air Riders – $49.99 (save $20) - Super Mario Bros. Wonder – $53.99 (save $6) - The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition – $59.88 (save $20.11)
Accessories also received price cuts. A Pro Controller alternative—boasting improved joysticks, higher sensitivity, and a built‑in charging dock—was offered at $179.00, down from $249.00. Digital eShop savings were available through a Costco eCash promotion: four $50 eCash codes sold for $169.99, a $30 discount on the usual $179.99 price, usable on the Nintendo eShop for games or downloadable content.
Amazon listed a handful of non‑Switch items as well, such as Apple AirPods Pro 3, AirPods 4, an 11‑inch iPad, Apple Watch Series 11, Samsung Galaxy S26, Sony WH‑1000XM6 headphones, a 55‑inch Amazon Ember 4‑Series Smart Fire TV, a Fire TV Stick 4K Plus, and Meta Quest 3S.
The timing of the Prime Day sale is particularly appealing to Switch owners. The console’s launch in 2025 saw over 19 million units sold worldwide as of March 2026, and the September 1 price increase marks the first adjustment since launch. By purchasing during Prime Day, buyers can secure the lower MSRP and enjoy a range of discounted games and accessories.
Prime Day shoppers can track the latest updates and price drops on Amazon’s Prime Day 2026 hub and the company’s live blog. Deals are subject to availability and may change as the sale progresses.
In short, Amazon Prime Day 2026 delivered substantial savings on the Nintendo Switch 2, its launch titles, the Star Fox remake, a variety of other Switch 2 games, a Pro Controller alternative, and digital eShop credits—giving consumers a clear path to avoid the September 1 price hike while building a robust library at a fraction of the cost.
