With console prices rising seemingly constantly at the moment, and with no sign of them coming back down, it’s a good time to have a look at last-gen consoles if you want to get some games in. After all, the gap between this one and the last is surprisingly small, but that’s especially true if you’re a Nintendo fan, because a lot of the best games on the Switch 2 are original Switch games anyway.
Well, if you fancy getting yourself an original Nintendo Switch, you can do that today thanks to a little discount on Amazon, which knocks it down to $324 for a short time. That’s a great price for a Switch, but it’s also a price we’re not expecting to last for long. So, if you do want this, make sure you’re quick.
Get Your Game On
The Nintendo Switch is quite literally the second-best selling console of all time, second-only to the PlayStation 2, which is 17 years older. It sold that well for a lot of reasons, but the two biggest ones have to be the flexibility it offers and the absurd library of games. It was the first hybrid console, if you don’t count the Wii U, which most people don’t. It means that you can play it on your TV as you’d expect, but also enjoy it handheld when you’re out and about, in bed, on the toilet, or anywhere else. While it’s 9 years old at this point, seamlessly switching between the two modes is still incredibly magical.
While it’s going to show its age a little when it comes to speed and looks, you’re still going to be able to play through all sorts of incredibly titles without issue. With heavy-hitters like Smash Bros Ultimate, both of the amazing new Legend of Zelda games, and plenty of more obscure titles to enjoy as well, you’re never going to run out of games to play. Plus, it comes with two controllers thanks to the Joy-Cons, and they’re the best colors too. It just makes this an amazing gift for you or anyone else you might want to get it for.
We don’t know how long the price of $324 will stick around for. While it’s only listed as a 5% discount, the original Switch can comfortably command more than that, so you’re going to want to move quickly if you want to enjoy this amazing console while it’s on sale.
