I'm a Nintendo Switch expert who has spent over one thousand hours playing games on the console and testing countless Nintendo Switch accessories as part of my work at TechRadar. I've been tasked with picking out the best deals for you and have narrowed things down to these absolute favorites.

For me, the absolute star of the show right now is the incredible value Nintendo Switch OLED: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle which is on sale for just $299 (was $349) at Walmart.
