Switch 2 Prime Day Deals Slash Prices on Top Games

Amazon Prime Day discounts bring major savings to Nintendo Switch 2 titles, with Metroid Prime 4, Pokémon Legends Z-A, and Resident Evil Requiem among the standout offers for physical game collectors and new players alike.

Amazon Prime Day is happening today, and Nintendo Switch 2 owners have a brief window to add more games to their library at steep discounts. The annual shopping event has come to a close as of June 26. Gamers have a brief window to grab some of the top offers on the site.

The deals include a handful of popular games that helped define Nintendo's latest system lineup. Both first- and third-party titles are going for much lower prices, which is grabbing the attention of longtime Nintendo fans and others who recently purchased a Switch 2 and want to add to their collections.

A Prime Day summary page highlights many of the deals available, making it easier for buyers to browse discounted games. 

There are many games in the deal, but a couple stand out for their price and popularity among gamers. A lot of people are discussing the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond deal. This game is a must-have for the Switch 2. Some critics say it’s not better than other games in the popular Metroid Prime series, yet the game continues to be praised for its immersive settings, distinctive music, and challenging boss fights.

It has been likened to past games in the series. Many gamers say Metroid Prime 4 is a good addition to the series. Fans have come to expect exploration-based gameplay and evocative world-building from this title. However, it also adds new settings and gameplay to Samus Aran’s latest adventure.

Prime Day is offering Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for $44.99 on Nintendo Switch. The original Nintendo Switch version is now $30, which is a good option if you prefer collecting physical games and want to save even more money. You can obtain the Switch version for $10, or pay an additional $10 for the Switch 2 version, bringing the cost to about $40.

This technique works better than the dedicated Switch 2 release because it lets you play the superior version of the game.

If you want the red Switch 2 box and cartridge, gamers can spend a bit more on the native Switch 2 version. Another good offer is one of the best discount titles during the Prime Day sale: Pokémon Legends: Z-A. The game normally costs $70 but is on sale for $44 right now, which is a really decent deal for those who haven’t grabbed it yet.

Pokémon Legends Z-A has suddenly become one of the best discounts you can get during the event, thanks to its significant price drop. Pokémon is still one of Nintendo’s most popular franchises, and players are often highly into discounted opportunities for large releases.

That and Resident Evil Requiem are also part of the offer. And one of the newest games for the Switch 2. The physical edition of the game is not a complete, self-contained cartridge, but a game key card, which is a problem for some collectors. That said, the discount might be handy for players who are merely interested in the game itself.

Resident Evil Requiem is on sale for $53.19, down from $70. For lovers of survival horror who want to experience Capcom’s latest release at a lesser price, this deal is one of the first large sales on the game since its release.

With just a few hours left until Prime Day expires, Nintendo Switch 2 owners who want to cash in on these discounts may want to act fast. The event features some of the biggest games on the platform on sale, so both fans and regular players can get some of the best titles at a discount before the deals end.
