The 24 best Nintendo Switch gaming deals for Amazon Prime Day, from Super Mario Party to Marvel

After a whole year of waiting, Amazon Prime Day has finally arrived! If you're unfamiliar with the big event, it's an annual sale where you can snag tons of big deals on all the items you can't get enough of from popular big-name brands. And that includes gaming, as there are dozens of major discounts on Nintendo consoles, games, and accessories that you can take advantage of right this minute.

Whether you're a passionate player permanently glued to your console or a relative newbie to the world of gaming, it doesn't matter — whatever your skill level, it's prime time (no pun intended) to grab some new equipment and games. These Prime Day deals are pretty good, and you won't want to miss out on nabbing them before the 48-hour event comes to an end. 

While you should definitely peruse the many discounts Amazon offers, the retailer isn't the only one who's serving up notable savings on Nintendo products at the moment. Walmart and GameStop both have considerable savings, too.

With so many great options, you're sure to find a product (or five) that fits your needs and gives your gaming experience an impressive upgrade. Just don't wait long to place your order, as these deals are short-lived (especially the ones offered through Prime Day) and the items will go back to their regular prices in just a few days' time.

If games are what you're most interested in buying, you're in luck, because Amazon is offering many of their most popular games at way lower prices than usual this Prime Day — up to 50 percent off! Love all things Super Mario? Check out Super Mario Party where players can compete against each other in 80 minigames. Whoever has the most amount of stars wins!

Or if you're willing to splurge a bit, there's Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order, which is on sale for $53. You'll build a team of your favorite Marvel characters, like Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Spider-Man, and Wolverine, to search for the Infinity Stones before Thanos and The Black Order get to them.

Gamers who love defeating evil and enjoy adventure should try out Assassin's Creed The Ezio Collection and Triangle Strategy. Both one-player games take place in complex digital universes, making for immersive gameplay, and start at just $20. But if you prefer taking part in more traditional board games, Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics is under $35 and has a lot of good choices to play, including Mancala, Chess, Dominos, and President.

"We have five people in our family," one five-star reviewer wrote. "Everyone loves playing this game! I love that our 2-year-old is able to play with the older kids without needing our help. There are a ton of levels, so they won't get bored with this game any time soon."
