Right now, Walmart has it Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Switch version still available for just $362 online. Bundle includes Nintendo Switch console ($300 value) and Switch dock in black, plus red Joy-Con controllers and a choice of one full game download from either Mario Kart 8 Deluxe ($60 value) and three months of Nintendo Switch Online ($12 value) for cloud gaming and online multiplayer.

Even better? Amazon has the Nintendo Switch ready to ship for free for Prime Members, so you won't have to deal with shipping delays to get your gaming console in your hands.
While Nintendo has since released the Switch OLED model (in stock and available for $339 on Amazon and $350 at bestbuy.com), the original Nintendo Switch is at least $50 cheaper and gives you almost all the same features, minus the OLED screen. Instead, the Switch is a portable gaming system with an HD touchscreen and a pair of detachable “Joy-Con” controllers on either side.
The console comes with a “dock” accessory that lets you play games on your TV — often at a higher resolution. The console's hybrid nature makes it a great choice for gamers who want to take a library of HD games with them wherever they go. One of the reasons for the Switch's popularity is its impressive catalog of games, including the latest entries such as Super Mario Bros. Wonder, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Pikmin 4and many more.

Speaking of Zelda — you can find it The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch system version available on Amazon.

Here comes the OLED model of the console with a clean and clear seven-inch screen, two grays Super Smash Bros. Ultimate themed Joy-Con controllers, digital download of the game ($60 value), and a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online ($12 value).
5. Nintendo Switch Lite Animal Crossing: New Horizons Bundle
If you're looking for something more portable, Target has it Nintendo Switch Lite: Isabelle's Aloha Edition bundle price of $200. It comes with the “lite” handheld version of the Nintendo Switch in coral. The lite version does not have detachable Joy-Con controllers and is not compatible with docked TVs. Instead, it's an all-in-one that's lighter and more compact.
The package also includes a digital download code for Animal Crossing: New Horizons ($60 value). This means you're essentially getting the game for free, as the Nintendo Switch Lite itself retails for $200.
Coral not your color? Walmart has it Nintendo Switch Lite: Timmy & Tommy's Aloha Edition bundle these are slightly cheaper prices of $199. It has everything that comes with the Target package, but the hand console is turquoise instead of coral.
