Cheapest Nintendo Switch bundles and deals: FAQs

Where can I get the best Nintendo Switch deals?

Outside of special sales events, most of the big retailers in the US, the UK, and Australia will run discounts intermittently throughout the year. For the best and biggest savings, you're always better off waiting for the likes of Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday which take place in the summer and winter respectively.

Do I need to buy more Nintendo Switch controllers for multiplayer?

Possibly not! Remember how the Joy-Con controller splits in two? Turn them sideways and you get two basic controllers, each with its own analog stick and face buttons - the d-pad acts as face functions on the left controller. We've seen 2K's NBA series, Snipper Clips, FIFA 19, and Mario Kart being used this way for local multiplayer in both docked and tablet modes. So you get multiplayer functionality straight out of the box with no additional purchase required.

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 some Pro controllers. We'd buy the Joy-Con as a pair (see our comparison chart above) as you'll save a bit of cash over buying them separately. Better yet, if your friends own a Switch, ask them to bring their controllers to the party!
