The best Nintendo Switch Joy-Con deals in December 2024
All the best Joy-Con deals in one place
The best Nintendo Switch Joy-Con deals are well worth keeping an eye on if you're in search of a replacement pair or even just a new color scheme for your hybrid handheld. But, as one of Nintendo's most desirable accessories, they don't come cheap, and discounts on the controllers can be pretty uncommon. Still, that doesn't mean there are none whatsoever.
There's a lot of neat technology packed into these controllers that make them a key part of the Nintendo Switch experience, which explains their pretty hefty price tag. Innovative technology like HD Rumble, gyro aiming, and the fact they function as two controllers really improves the experience in a lot of games.
You can check out all the best Nintendo Switch bundle deals for the latest offers on consoles or browse the latest Nintendo Switch game deals for the best prices on new and classic releases. If you want to shop for other controllers, it might be worth browsing through all the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller deals available today, too.

Best Nintendo Switch Joy-Con deals - FAQs
Is the Joy-Con worth it?
The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con price is actually $10 more than the Pro Controller, despite being the standard issue controller for the console. However, you are technically getting two gamepads for the money, doubling up your multiplayer capacity from the off and giving you more color combinations for your Switch as well.
Where can I find the best Joy-Con deals?
Nintendo Switch Joy-Con deals are fairly limited to particularly busy shopping periods. That means your best bet for reliable discounts will be holiday sales in November or December, however that's not to say you can't find some cheap Joy-Con throughout the rest of the year.
We usually see US and UK retailers shave a little off the price of Joy-Con controllers throughout the year but these savings are sporadic and infrequent. Check out the comparison charts above for the latest prices, but just know that if you're pay under $79.99 (£59.99 / AU$119) it's likely you're getting a great deal.
