Amazon's Prime Day is delivering discounts across Nintendo Switch 2 accessories at an uncommonly useful moment: Nintendo has set a $50 price increase for the console beginning September 1st, which will push its starting price to $499.99. For anyone who already owns a Switch 2 — or plans to buy one before that date — current Prime Day pricing makes now a practical window to fill out the accessory drawer at reduced cost.
What the Price Hike Changes for Buyers
A $50 bump on a $499.99 console raises the effective cost of entry for anyone who waits. Accessories, by contrast, remain individually cheap, but they accumulate: a carrying case, a controller, a power bank, and a screen protector can easily add $100 to $150 to the total outlay. Shaving that down during a sale event is less about any single item and more about managing the overall platform investment.
Storage, Protection, and Carrying Gear on Sale
The Samsung P9 microSD Express card, which offers sequential read speeds of up to 800 megabytes per second for compatible devices, is discounted to $39.99 for the 256GB version at Amazon. The Switch 2 is among the devices with a microSD Express slot that can take advantage of those speeds.
Screen protectors from amFilm are available in multiple configurations starting below $10 with a Prime membership — both glossy and matte tempered glass options, some with a OneTouch installation tray designed to reduce alignment errors. Hard-shell carrying cases from Tomtoc, Belkin, and JSAUX are all discounted to under $25, with each model holding the console and up to 12 game cartridges. The Spigen Rugged Armor, a slip-on case for handheld use, drops to $11.89 with an on-page coupon.
Third-Party Controllers Close the Price Gap on Nintendo's Own Hardware
The accessory category where third-party brands compete most directly with Nintendo is controllers, and Prime Day pricing narrows that gap further. The EasySMX S10 — a controller that includes HD rumble, amiibo support, and remote wake functionality — is $41.99 at Amazon for Prime members, compared to $59.99 at retail. The 8BitDo Pro 3, which features swappable ABXY buttons, joystick caps, TMR sticks, and new L4 and R4 macro buttons, is $50.34. The GuliKit TT Pro, built around adjustable-tension TMR thumbsticks, is $47.99.
Power and Connectivity
Portable power banks from Anker and Iniu are discounted to $19.99 and $28.03, respectively, both offering 10,000mAh capacity with fast-charge USB-C output. The Ugreen USB-C-to-ethernet adapter, which routes Switch 2 traffic through a wired connection in handheld mode for lower latency, is $9.49. The Logitech Brio 100 webcam — positioned in the source as a cheaper substitute for Nintendo's own first-party webcam — is $23.49 at Amazon.
