Nintendo Switch Lite deals are a little trickier to find these days, but if you know where to look there are still savings out there. The handheld-only version of the console has eluded high value bundle offerings for a few months now, but we’ve rounded up all the latest price cuts and package deals right here.
While Nintendo Switch bundles on the standard and OLED consoles are starting to gather more traction, so are Nintendo Switch Lite deals. After a few weeks of slow going, things are starting to look up for those on the hunt for a handheld-only console.
The Nintendo Switch Lite price is $199 / £199, which makes it significantly cheaper than the fully fledged console. That discount makes it a perfect choice for anyone buying for smaller hands, or if you simply don’t need to play your games on the big screen. However, we often see Nintendo Switch Lite bundles sitting at between $209 and $219 / £199-£209 these days, so when stock is plentiful there’s plenty of value up for grabs.

Nintendo Switch Lite accessory deals
No matter which version of Switch you go for, it’s well worth grabbing a few key Nintendo Switch accessories along the way. As well as more obvious extras like the best case for Nintendo Switch or the best Nintendo Switch headset, it’s a good idea to look out for the best Nintendo Switch chargers or an SD card too. Both consoles only come with a meagre 32GB of memory as standard, so you’ll need something a little bigger to make sure you don’t run out of space.
We’d also consider browsing for some extra things to play via our roundup of the best Nintendo Switch game sales. A few of the console’s most popular games are on offer right now, allowing you to get maximum bang for buck.

SanDisk 128GB MicroSD
The best Nintendo Switch Lite SD card
Storage: 128GB | Format: MicroSDHC, microSDXC | Features: Transfer speeds up to 100MB/s, A1 performance class, class 10 speed rating for HD video
Relatively cheapPlenty of storage spaceWill last you a whileEasily lost
One of the few issues with any Nintendo Switch is its lack of storage space. The Switch Lite is no different. It’s a pain when you grab a new game but have no space to install it or save your progress without deleting something else, so the SanDisk Ultra 128GB SD card is a must-have. While there are bigger and smaller alternatives, this one only costs around $30 and quadruples the Switch’s internal memory. That should allow you to store between five and ten big games.

Because of the Lite’s portable nature, you’re likely to be carrying it from place to place in the great outdoors. To keep it safe, a Nintendo Switch carry case is essential. Orzly cases for the original Switch are excellent, so grabbing the Lite version (which can come in matching colors, by the way) is a no-brainer. The hardened outer shell contains plenty of room for your console, games, and any other accessories you might want to take with you on the road.
How to find the best Nintendo Switch Lite bundles
Nintendo Switch Lite bundles are far easier to find than discounts on the main console, especially in the US. While there are still fewer bundles on offer when compared with the UK, you’ll usually find a Nintendo Switch memory card or game taking a discount with a console.
Wherever you’re shopping, though, it’s still worth making sure your getting the right Nintendo Switch Lite deals for you. The first thing you should check when you’ve found a deal is the current price of the included game or accessory at other retailers.
Third party resellers often jack the Nintendo Switch Lite price up, which means you’ll want to double check it’s not cheaper to simply pick up your console and game separately. Make sure you’re never buying a Nintendo Switch Lite bundle that costs more than $199 / £199 plus the price of your game (usually $50-$60 / £40-£50).
If you can wait, its also worth holding onto your cash until Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals roll around – and Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals. Like other major holiday sales periods, these discounts are often far better than everyday savings and offer up some of the rarest bundle deals as well.
Which Nintendo Switch should you buy?
You’ll find the key differences between the two consoles just below, so you can make the right call for you when browsing Nintendo Switch Lite deals.
- Nintendo Switch Lite: The new Nintendo Switch Lite is pitched as an entry-level console for kids or anyone playing on the go. It’s a lot cheaper as a result, and can still run most of the same games. The downside? It’s handheld only and can’t be used on TV. It also lacks some features like detachable controllers and joypad rumble.
- Nintendo Switch (standard): For lack of a better word, this is the ‘full’ console experience. Offering detachable controllers that can be shared between two people and a portable screen that allows you to play on TV or in handheld mode, it’s perfect for multiplayer and single-player games. However, it is more expensive.
- Nintendo Switch OLED: The Nintendo Switch OLED is the latest console to hit the market, launching in October 2021. Everything is the same inside, which means you’re getting the same performance as the standard and Lite models, but with a fancy new OLED display (measuring in a little larger than the previous version), a new kickstand, and the option for white Joy-Con.
