With Amazon Prime Day 2025 kicking off, we’re posting a roundup of some Nintendo-related deals you can take advantage of.
Amazon does require that you’re subscribed to its Prime service in order for the deals to unlock. These days though, it doesn’t feel like that much of a niche subscription. But even if you’re not a member, you can get your hands on a free trial here and get involved with Amazon Prime Day.
You can find the current roundup below. We’ll update the list if any other notable deals appear.
Amazon offers first chance to buy Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S.
Posted on 3 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
As Nintendo and Amazon continue to mend their relationship, it seems that the retailer is gearing up for its first opportunity to sell the system to customers in the United States.
You can’t purchase the console immediately, which isn’t surprising given how other retailers have handled the situation. Currently you can request an invite for the Mario Kart World bundle or the standard system. Those that register – if they’re selected – will receive an email with a link that’s valid for 22 hours. Note that if you aren’t selected during this round of invites, your request is still eligible to be selected in future rounds so you don’t need to submit another request for the next three months.
