Prime Day is here, and Nintendo Switch owners have plenty of deals to choose from – and not just from Amazon. Nintendo rarely discounts its games, but Prime Day and its rivals have brought down the price of the portable console’s biggest titles, including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Luigi’s Mansion 3, and Paper Mario: The Origami King. Don’t delay, however, as we expect these Nintendo sales to expire soon.
Although the Switch Lite isn’t on sale, Amazon is throwing in a 128GB memory card. What’s special about this card is that it’s officially licensed by Nintendo, comes in red, and has a Super Mario Bros. (Ultram) mushroom on it. The Switch Lite comes in blue, coral, gray, turquoise, and yellow.

How can I save more during Prime Day 2021?
The best thing you can do is sign up for an Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature Card. It’s a no-annual-fee card, so there’s no cost to get it. Once you’re approved, you’ll immediately receive a $100 Amazon gift card, and then get 5% cashback on most Amazon purchases — including products that are on sale for Prime Day. Sometimes Amazon bumps that cashback to 10% or 15% on select items.
Right now, for example, you can also get 15% back on various Kasa smart home products, 10% back on the Amazfit Band 5.
