The Created World of Yoshi (Nintendo Switch) for $40 ($20 off)

Sandisk High Speed MicroSD Card.
SanDisk 256 GB High Speed MicroSD Card for $27 ($5 off)
Most microSD cards will work fine for the Nintendo Switch, but this model is our favorite. The Nintendo Switch has a lot of digital games available – and those also tend to be the titles with the best discounts. You want to make sure you have enough space! A card this size should last for years. You can also pick up the 128 GB version for about $10 less, but at these prices you might as well just go with the beefier version.
Bionik Power Commuter Bag for $55 ($15 off)
This price matches the lowest we’ve shared for this bag, which is one of the Best Nintendo Switch Accessories you can pick up—especially if you travel a lot. The carrying case comes with a portable battery to keep your console protected and charged. The included charging brick can charge a Nintendo Switch twice.

The Nimble Champ is one of our favorite Nintendo Switch accessories and also the Best Portable Charger. This model has a 20,000 mAh capacity, so it can fully charge a Nintendo Switch at least four times on a single charge. It will also do it as quickly as possible.
Logitech G333 In-ear gaming.
Logitech G333 Gaming Headset for $20 ($28 off)
The price of these varies by color, but they usually sell for between $30 and $48. In our guide, we said these sound better than you’d expect. The cable is tangle-free and the sound quality is solid even in supported games.

We haven’t tested this headphone yet, but this offer matches the best price we’ve ever tracked for this popular and generally well-reviewed headphone. It comes in multiple colors and has support for voice chat on the Nintendo Switch. We like Logitech products—our Best wired and Best Wireless headset lists feature several models from the brand, so the G435 is a safe bet.
