What's the deal: EE has the best deals we've seen, offering the Nintendo Switch 2 and several bundles on a pay-monthly basis. Prices start at £22 a month for the Switch with Mario Kart World, and go up to £30 a month for the bundle that includes the Switch 2 Camera, a Joy-Con and £50 of game credit.

Why we chose it: If you can't afford to fork out £400 on the new Switch, this is by far the best solution. You can treat the console like any other device or subscription plan and pay it off as you go.

Get the Nintendo Switch 2 x Mario Kart World bundle

What's the deal: The Nintendo Switch 2 x Mario Kart World bundle is by far the most popular as it gives you the brand-new console and a flagship game straight away. But, is it actually a saving?

Short answer: yes. On it's own the Nintendo Switch 2 costs £395.99 and Mario Kart World costs £66.99 (or £74.99 if you want a physical copy). However the bundle costs £429.99 which means you're only paying £34 for the game.

Why we chose it: This bundle gives you everything, the new console, the best game and £34 off. That's why it's so popular and, at this point, is selling out faster than the standalone Switch 2.

Grab a Switch 2 bundle with extra games and accessories

What's the deal: Very has a ton of Switch 2 bundles right now, which include extra games and accessories. You can find packages with the MicroSD Memory Card, the Switch 2 Camera as well as games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of Kingdom.

Why we chose it: These bundles sell out much slower than the standalone Switch 2, plus they provide a great jumping off point for playing with the device.

Save with these Nintendo Switch 2 game bundles

What's the deal: Outside of the Switch 2 console bundles, there are a few games bundles worth shouting about. For one, you can get the new Super Mario Party Jamboree and Jamboree TV combined, and for another the games Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Star-Crossed World.

Why we chose it: If you're buying someone a Switch 2 as a gift, this is a great way of getting them double the present at half the cost.

Save with third-party Nintendo Switch 2 accessories

What's the deal: At Amazon there are already a ton of third party accessories popping up, like the JSAUX Carry Case or JSAUX screen protector. These start much cheaper than Nintendo's own products, at just £6.99.

Why we chose it: Not everything has to come from Nintendo itself, this way you can save on games and other accessories.
