Nintendo Switch OLED Model: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Bundle

5-star average rating from 5 reviews at Best Buy

For the standard price of a Nintendo Switch OLED, this bundle includes the console — which has a slightly larger touch screen, more vivid colors and enhanced audio compared to the original — along with a free download of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game. It also comes with a three-month membership to Nintendo Switch Online, which gives you access to classic games, indie favorites and more. 

Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle

4.8-star average rating from 5,193 reviews on Amazon

This bundle pairs the classic Nintendo Switch system, which comes with a touch screen, kickstand (for tabletop playing) and removable joy-cons (for gaming on the TV), with the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game; the latter has 48 courses and 42 characters for hours of entertainment. It also includes a three-month membership to Nintendo Switch Online, through which you can play classic Nintendo games as well as newer releases for free.

Talk Works Nintendo Switch Racing Wheel Controllers

4.4-star average rating from 7,124 reviews on Amazon

For racing competitions like Mario Kart, these steering wheels make for a more immersive experience. Simply pop in the joy-cons from the Nintendo Switch original or OLED versions to turn them into controllers. They come in seven colorways and have a lightweight, ergonomic feel, according to the brand.

Game Traveler Zelda Nintendo Switch OLED Case

4.9-star average rating from 2,505 reviews on Amazon

If you’re traveling light — and are a fan of The Legend of Zelda franchise — then consider this slim protective case for the Nintendo Switch, which fits both the original and OLED consoles and features the Sheikah tribe’s symbol. The Nintendo-licensed case has a hard shell, an adjustable viewing stand and two game cases, which hold up to eight cartridges. You can also store it beneath the console.

Switch Sports

4.7-star average rating from 1,474 reviews at Best Buy

This game brings sports — like golf, soccer, volleyball, tennis, badminton, bowling and even chambara (a.k.a. swordplay) — to life wherever, whenever. Your movements are tracked on-screen via the joy-con, which you can also attach to the included leg strap for soccer. You can also play against opponents online or with friends and family. It’s only compatible with the original Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch OLED versions.

Ivoler Carrying Storage Case

4.8-star average rating from 13,951 reviews on Amazon

For extended travel, this storage case is designed to house all kinds of Switch accessories. It has dedicated spaces for the Nintendo Switch (fitting both the original and OLED consoles), the Nintendo Switch dock, the AC adapter, the joy-cons and grip, up to 18 games and either an extra set of joy-cons or a separate controller. It has a soft lining and water-resistant hard shell to protect everything inside from bumps and drops, according to the brand.

Legend of Zelda Link’s Awakening

4.8-star average rating from 4,213 reviews at Best Buy

In this Legend of Zelda game, you play as Link, the master swordsman who washes up on the shore of Koholint Island; your job is to battle your way through dungeons, mingle with locals and collect magical instruments in order to unlock the secrets of the island. I’ve found that’s easy enough for kids and newbies to play but still challenging enough for regular gamers. Since it’s a digital code, you can download it directly onto your Nintendo Switch with a Wi-Fi connection, instead of needing a physical cartridge.

PowerA Enhanced Wireless Nintendo Switch Controller — Mario Pop

4.5-star average rating from 14,950 reviews on Amazon

This rechargeable Switch controller uses Bluetooth technology to connect to the Switch, allowing for a more ergonomic feel than the joy-cons and grip that come with the console. Each charge gives you up to 30 hours of play time, and offers extra buttons that you can program based on your gaming preferences, according to the brand.

Super Mario Odyssey

4.8-star average rating from 32,772 reviews on Amazon

This 3D take on the Mario Bros. franchise pairs Mario with Cappy, which is his anthropomorphized hat that lends Mario new moves, like cap jump, capture and cap throw. They come in handy for Mario’s mission to save Princess Peach from Bowser. You can play as Mario while a friend plays as Cappy for a two-player take on the game, too.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

4.9-star average rating from 20,553 reviews at Best Buy

This game is the reason I bought a Nintendo Switch back in 2017: It’s a role-playing adventure where you play as Link, a sword-wielding hero who’s tasked with finding and fighting alongside Princess Zelda. The land of Hyrule is full of beautiful scenery, including rain-soaked mountains and sun-scorched deserts, and packed with NPCs (non-playable characters) who add richness and charm to the overall storyline.

Hasbro Game Night

4.6-star average rating from 1,240 reviews at Best Buy

Ideal for groups, this bundle includes three classic games: Monopoly, Risk and Trivial Pursuit. You can play with up to six players, depending on the game, as family and friends take turns on the Switch or against other players from afar (if you have an internet connection).

Mascarry Accessories Bundle for Nintendo Switch

4.6-star average rating from 1,517 reviews on Amazon

This accessory set has everything but the actual Nintendo Switch. It includes a protective carrying case, a Nintendo Switch case (that clips onto the console to protect against bumps and dings), a case for game cartridges (with enough space for up to eight games), a stand for tabletop play, two glass screen protectors, four colorful joystick caps, a joy-con charging dock, two additional joy-cons and, finally, joy-con grips and racing wheels, which can make for more immersive gameplay.

Nintendo eShop Gift Card

4.8-star average rating from 104,434 reviews on Amazon

You can use this gift card to add funds to your Nintendo eShop account. You (or your giftee) can then spend it on the more than 1,000 games available for download directly onto the Nintendo Switch. You’ll just need a Wi-Fi connection and any Nintendo Switch system to activate it.

Gammeefy Switch Controller for Switch/OLED

4.2-star average rating from 1,808 reviews on Amazon

For longer gaming sessions on the Nintendo Switch, upgrade from the usual joy-cons to this joy-pad, which includes full-size grips and large buttons for more comfortable gaming, according to the brand. Slide your Switch console (without the joy-cons) between the grips so that the included USB port is inserted into the console.

Mooroer Switch Dust Cover

4.8-star average rating from 287 reviews on Amazon

Spruce up your gaming space with this protective display case, which can fit the entire Nintendo Switch dock and console. It has holes to both prevent overheating and provide access for charging cables, as well as a light-up base with 16 colors and four lighting modes, including flash and strobe. (You can control the lights via remote, which comes included with the case.)

SanDisk 1TB microSDXC-Card

4.8-star average rating from 296,692 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

Licensed for Nintendo Switch systems, this microSDXC card holds up to 1 terabyte of data. With this memory card, you can store an entire collection of games as well as screenshots and videos, according to the brand. It comes in several styles with icons from popular games, including Legend of Zelda, the Fortnite Skull Trooper and the Super Mario Mushroom.

Heiying Switch Charging Dock

4.1-star average from 2485 reviews

This Pokemon inspired Nintendo Switch docking station is ideal for Switch players looking for a stylish and lightweight protective gaming accessory. Although it comes without a charging cable, reviewers are raving about its portability and user-friendliness.

Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town

4.7-star average rating from 5,760 reviews on Amazon

In this simulation style game your objective is to turn a recently inherited farm into a profitable business by cleaning your field, growing and selling crops, raising animals and selling their eggs and milk. There are also opportunities to interact with interesting people in the town and find romance.
