Whether it's savings on a new console, games or accessories, we've gathered some brilliant deals on the Nintendo Switch that are live before the big event. If you're looking for the best early deals, you're in the right place, here are the best discounts we've found so far.
Best Nintendo Switch OLED deals
The Switch OLED is the current jewel in Nintendo's crown - a superb hardware update from a couple of years ago that revitalises the Switch completely with a massively upgraded screen. It has better colours and blacks, and a slightly sturdier build quality, too, making it the best Switch on the market.

The Switch OLED is a titan of a console, despite being nice and small, and portable. It's wonderful and has some outrageously good games.
Best Nintendo Switch Lite deals
For those who want a perfect portable machine, the Switch Lite is a must-have. It's the Switch without its docking capabilities, which limits how you can use it, but also slashes the price right down to a really reasonable level even before any possible discounts.
