The best Nintendo Switch Lite deals
There's a new Switch in town, and this one is handheld-only! If you're looking for a good price on a Nintendo Switch but have no interest in playing it on your television, why not opt for the portable-only Nintendo Switch Lite? At AU$329 RRP, it's a much more affordable option.
Admittedly, there aren't many great deals going at the moment for the Nintendo Switch Lite, however, its price fluctuates quite often, so we expect it to come down a little more in the coming weeks. For now, here are the best Nintendo Switch Lite prices.

(opens in new tab)Nintendo Switch Q&A
If you need to know more before you drop your dosh on the latest from Nintendo, here are some answers to your burning questions.
What are the Joy-Con controllers?
When you're buying a 'Joy-Con' controller , you'll actually be getting a pair of controllers that you can attach to the sides of the Nintendo Switch when not in use or when playing in tablet form away from the TV.
If your Switch is docked, you can remove the Joy-Con and play with one in each hand. The left hand gets a controller with an analogue stick and d-pad, the right hand handles the one with a second analogue and the usual A, B, X and Y face buttons.
What's the Joy-Con Grip controller?
The Joy-Con Grip comes as an additional accessory that is used to join the two Joy-Con controllers in order to form something a little more solid for you to hold. It features extended handles and a plastic block in order to make the otherwise quite small and lightweight Joy-Con feel more akin to a standard controller. Thankfully, Nintendo is providing one in the box with the Switch, so you won't have to buy one separately.
Is there a Nintendo Switch Pro controller?
Yes there is, although it doesn't come with the console. Fortunately, you don't actually need this controller to play anything as it functions more as a premium option for those that feel more comfortable with a single, solid unit in their hands. Prices aren't cheap though, averaging around AU$99, although you can occasionally nab them for AU$89 or even AU$79. There's currently no sign of a Nintendo Switch Premium Edition console with a Pro controller included, but that could change over time.
Do I need to buy extra controllers for multiplayer on Nintendo Switch?
Maybe not! Given that the Joy-Con controller can be split in two, you can use each as a rudimentary controller when turned on its side due to each having an analogue stick and some form of face buttons. So far we've seen 2K's NBA series, Snipper Clips and Mario Kart being used this way for local multiplayer in both docked and tablet modes.
However, if you want to play four-player games, then you're going to need to invest in an extra pair of Joy-Con controllers or, if you're really committed, a whole set of Pro controllers. You can buy the Joy-Cons as a pair which will save you a bit of dosh if that's your intention anyway, but if your friends own a Switch just get them to bring around theirs!
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild deals
The latest in the Legend of Zelda saga, The Breath of the Wild, has been raved about since launch, and remains the single largest reason to purchase a Switch. Typically, Zelda games don't drop in price in a hurry and, given how much the console is riding on this title's success, we can't see it dropping any time soon. You may be able to find it in a bundle, but otherwise take a look below at the best deals we've found on offer.
Nintendo Switch Micro SD memory card deals
The Switch comes stock with only 32GB of internal storage, so you'll be wanting to pick up a cheap memory card or two if you're planning to make any digital purchases or just need room for the inevitable game-fixing patches. Don't fret though, they're actually surprisingly cheap, with even 64GB ones coming in at under AU$50.
Be on the look out for Micro SD cards which are also known as, depending on their size, MicroSDHC (up to 32GB) or MicroSDXC (up to a huge 2TB soon). Nintendo have their own branded cards but you'll be paying a slight premium for the labelling privelege. So for now, we'd take a look at this range of cheap MicroSDXC Nintendo Switch-friendly cards.
