Best Switch Power Bank Deals
Looking for a new power bank? This might be one of the year’s best deals. The INIU 22.5W 20000mAh is currently just $14.84 on Amazon when you clip the 30% coupon and use promo code KREY5TK4 (originally $44). It's an ideal pick for Switch owners, but it’s equally handy for charging your phone, AirPods, and other gadgets.
Reminder: These deals usually expire incredibly quickly. Place your order ASAP to avoid disappointment. It is also only available when selecting seller: 'Ships from Amazon, Sold by SimpleLife LLC'.
Preorder the Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Edition Console
Announced alongside The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom during June's Nintendo Direct, the Nintendo Switch Lite: Hyrule Edition handheld console is officially up for preorder. Best Buy is offering preorders for $209.99 with orders shipping out on September 26. That's $10 more than a stock Switch Lite, but that's more than justified by the fact that this edition includes a 12 month Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.

Best Nintendo Switch Accessory Deals
Whether you're looking for a new controller or a little bag to carry your Switch in, there are quite a few different deals on Nintendo Switch accessories that are worth checking out as well. Here, we've listed just a few of our favorite discounts that are worth picking up.
When Should You Buy a Nintendo Switch?
The short answer is that you should buy a Nintendo Switch whenever there’s any kind of sale, regardless of the time of year. Amazon will likely offer the same console bundles on any other sale as it will on Black Friday or Amazon Prime Day, so there’s no real reason to wait if you’re in need of a Nintendo Switch.
That being said, there are sometimes some unique bundles and promotions during Black Friday that you won’t find any other time of the year. They usually includes additional games (like the infamous Mario Kart 8 bundle) or Switch accessories for free, but quantities tend to be limited. As always, do your research into the seller before you make a purchase and keep in mind that the Nintendo Switch 2 is coming out next year.
