The adorable PDP Realmz controllers for Nintendo Switch make for excellent gifts for youngsters this Holiday season. This Tails model is especially fun, presenting a thematic backdrop and a collectible figure all contained within the controller itself! It's a pretty innovative approach to controller design that's perfect for kids and collectors both.

There aren't a ton of controllers that can double as collectibles, but manufacturer CRKD has explored this to such a degree that one of its latest products may just be the logical conclusion for the niche.
I'm talking about the excellent CRKD Atom, a bite-sized Nintendo Switch controller that quite literally fits in the palm of your hand. It's primarily designed to be enjoyed with Nintendo Switch Online's retro libraries thanks to its limited button layout, but it makes for an adorable gift that's still of a very high quality.

The PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller isn't my favorite Nintendo Switch gamepad around, but I can't fault its reliability (and strong battery life) for its price. What I do love is this utterly gorgeous Pikachu livery for the controller that's been heavily discounted at Woot. If I had to buy one of PowerA's controllers based on the colorway, it absolutely would be this one.

We're still Wooting with a phenomenal saving for Fire Emblem: Three Hopes. I'm a massive fan of Omega Force's 'Musou' titles like Dynasty Warriors, Hyrule Warriors and Dragon Quest Heroes, and there's much the same to love with Three Hopes.
A Fire Emblem Three Houses spin-off that places those beloved characters into an alternative scenario with a new protagonist, Three Hopes blends the series' calculated strategy with hard-hitting hack n' slash musou action. Great soundtrack, too.

The breakout surprise of Black Friday has to be Woot's Nintendo Switch game deals. The Amazon-owned retailer not only has huge savings across a wide variety of Switch games, but you can also save a further 20% (up to $20) if you shop via the Woot app.
Let's get started here with a solid $10 off the recently-released which completes this year's trilogy of Switch Mario RPGs - following on from Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership: was $59.99 now $49.99 at Woot
Welcome.....to Black Friday!
That's right, the big day is actually here, and we've never been swimming in more Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals!
Everything from games to consoles, from headsets to SD cards is being discounted and we might even see new deals pop up today. With that in mind, we're keeping our running coverage of the deals and discounts to make it easy for you to sort the great from the good.
Strap in!
Here's one of the most compelling deals that I've spotted in my deal-finding efforts today. The HyperX Cloud Earbuds II are currently on sale at a new record low price over at Amazon, knocking a massive 51% off its regular rate.
For under $20 you're getting a great little pair of gaming earbuds that are a good fit for Nintendo Switch. A hard shall carrying case alongside additional ear tips to help you find a good fit are included too.
HyperX Cloud Earbuds II: was $39.99 now $19.49 at Amazon
The brilliant CRKD Neo S controller has hit a new lowest-ever price at Amazon in the UK, so is definitely one to keep on your radar.
Loads of designs are currently on sale, from the cute pink Blossom all the way to the classic Retro Gold and translucent Electric Pink.
This collectible controller stands out thanks to its portable size and strong battery life, which make it a good option if you're after something you can bring on the go with your console. It's also incredibly easy to set up and use, so is still a great choice if you're less experienced with third-party peripherals.
CRKD Neo S: was £49.99 now £38.99 at Amazon
This is one US deal that I'm very jealous of. Right now you can find the recently released Just Dance 2025 Limited Edition on sale at a new lowest-ever price thanks to an absolutely massive $25 discount. I paid literally double this for a PS5 copy of the game a few weeks back, so now feel a little bit stupid for not waiting.
This is a code in box release, which means no physical game cartridge here, but it does include the special Unicorn Pack. This means you get a bonus Avatar, Stickers, and Scoring Effects. I think the Avatar in particular might just be one of the best looking in the game, so was careful to buy this version when I picked it up.
In terms of gameplay, you know exactly what to expect if you've ever played Just Dance. It's a great fit for families, especially now that mobile phones can be used as a controller for larger groups.
Just Dance 2025 Edition – Limited Edition: was $49.99 now $24.99 at Amazon
I am an absolute sucker for Ubisoft's Uno and I would go so far as to describe it as one of my absolute favorite digital board games. I'm a huge Uno fan in general, so the ability to play the game whenever I want on Nintendo Switch is an absolute blessing.
If you're keen to get into it, then take note of this deal. Uno Legacy Edition is currently on sale at its lowest-ever price at Amazon. This version of the game includes multiple DLCs, including Flip! and Party! Mania. While I'm not too fond of Party! Mania, Flip! is a great addition that wonderfully recreates the real life version of Uno Flip!.
For under $15, everything you get is top value. Just keep in mind that this is a code in box release, so doesn't come with a physical cartridge.
Uno Legacy Edition: was $19.99 now $14.89 at Amazon
Sick and tired of your Joy-Con controllers running out of juice on Switch? Why not check out this excellent deal on PowerA's officially licensed Joy-Con charging dock? This Black Friday Nintendo Switch deal takes the accessory to under 15 bucks, which is just a few dollars above it's lowest-ever price at Amazon.
PowerA Joy-Con charging station: was $22.99 now $14.99 at Amazon
Good morning Nintendo Switch gamers! Black Friday might officially be just a day away, but we've seen countless incredible deals for the console and its games for well over a week now.
Enter Walmart, which has kicked off its Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals. We're seeing absolutely massive savings on the Nintendo Switch OLED, controllers and Nintendo Switch games at the popular US retailer. If you've been holding off taking advantage of the Black Friday sales period so far, you may wish to give Walmart's offerings a look today before stock dries up.
And as ever, keep this live page bookmarked as we bring you all the best Nintendo Switch deals we've spotted today, throughout the day.
If you've got a new Nintendo Switch SD card on the way and are wondering about the installation process, then don't worry as I can give you a quick rundown now. It's easy and can be accomplished by almost anyone without the need for tools - no matter your level of hardware experience.
To start, you're going to need your micro SD card (removed from any packaging) and your Nintendo Switch console on hand.
Make sure that your system is shut down, which you can do by holding the power button for about five seconds before selecting 'Power Options' and 'Turn Off' on the screen.
For the next steps it's important to consider the model of your console. If you own a Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch OLED, you need to lift the kickstand on the back of your console. Underneath that is a small slot for the SD card, insert it until you hear a click. Now turn your system back on and it should be ready to use.
For Nintendo Switch Lite owners, look for the small flap on the bottom of your system. It's labelled with "MicroSD", so should be quite easy to spot. Open it up and pop the card in, pressing until you hear a click. With that done, close the flap and start your console.
That's it!
If you want to check your new total storage space, head to the home screen and select the 'System Settings' icon followed by 'Data Management'.
Here's an accessory that you might not have heard of before. The Hori D-Pad Controller is exactly what it sounds like, an officially licensed controller that adds a more traditional d-pad to your Nintendo Switch. It looks almost exactly like the original Joy-Con, but comes in a range of special designs.
It's designed exclusively for handheld play, which keeps the overall cost down compared to the standard offering. If you enjoy lots of retro or platforming games then this can be quite a worthwhile buy.
I used one for a few months when my left Joy-Con developed drift and found it to be a great replacement - especially for the low price. It's very lightweight, which can feel a bit odd in the hands at first, but otherwise it's as close as possible to the one that came with your console.
This edition has a Legend of Zelda inspired look and is for the left-hand side of the console.
Hori d-pad controller (L, Zelda): was $27.99 now $16.79 at Amazon
Here's a game deal straight from my personal wishlist. Don't be put off by the slightly weird title, Unicorn Overlord is an absolutely phenomenal fantasy tactics RPG with hundreds of hours of content that is currently down to a new lowest-ever price at Amazon.
Under $30 is an absolute steal and the only thing stopping me from picking this up is my absolutely gigantic game backlog that I want to try and clear through first. This title only came out in March this year, so a discount this steep is very welcome indeed.
The one sticking point to consider is that this is a seriously complex game. If you're new to the genre you might struggle to understand some of the mechanics without checking online guides or videos. This, in addition to its mature story, also makes it a poor fit for younger gamers despite the attractive cartoon art style.
Unicorn Overlord: was $59.99 now $29.99 at Amazon
After a great, low-cost gift for the Fortnite fan in your life? The Fortnite Transformers Pack is on sale over at Argos in the UK, letting you pick it up for about the same cost as a decent dinner. You get a physical box, which is good news if you want to wrap it, with a code inside for some cool in-game items.
This grants three Transformers-themed outfits with matching back bling, pickaxes, and two emotes. You even get 1,000 V-Bucks thrown in, which goes for roughly £6.99 on its own so it's a pretty great value bundle.
Fortnite Transformers Pack: was £18.49 now £11.99 at Argos
Here's a fantastic storage deal on a great Nintendo Switch SD card. The officially licensed SanDisk 1TB Pokemon Snorlax microSD card for Nintendo Switch has had its price slashed by 38% in the UK, taking it all the way down to a new lowest-ever rate.
That's a solid discount for a 1TB card that carries Nintendo Switch branding. Unlike some cheaper models, you don't need to worry about compatibility at all with this one. It also has a cute design featuring the Snorlax Pokemon, making it a more exciting gift option than just a plain micro SD card.
SanDisk 1TB Pokemon Snorlax microSD card for Nintendo Switch: was £127.99 now £79.99 at Amazon
Wondering why you can trust my expertise over Black Friday?
As Hardware Writer at TechRadar, it's my job to keep a close eye on the prices of many of the latest gaming products, including the Nintendo Switch family of consoles plus its games and accessories. I have covered multiple sales events and have heaps of experience from both my time at TechRadar and at gaming magazines.
Anyone who has followed my work will know that I regularly take the time to seek out the very best savings, a practise that started all the way back in the "Dash's Dazzling Deals" column in PLAY Magazine where I spotlighted killer gaming discounts for those on a tight budget.
It's not just me though, as I am also joined by our wider team of gaming experts who all bring years of experience to the table. Together, we have spent countless testing a wide range of products so know which ones are definitely worth your while. If it's high-quality and on sale, you can bet that it will be spotlighted here.
If you're shopping in the UK, now might be the time to get yourself a Peely pad. The Fortnite Peely edition of the PowerA Nintendo Switch Wireless Controller is 25% off at Argos - making it a great choice for fans of the battle royale game. A code for a bonus in-game item, the Prickly Axe, is even included in the box which is sure to delight dedicated players.
This mellow yellow controller boasts a cute design inspired by everyone's favorite sentient banana, Peely. This price is also matching Amazon's lowest-ever, so you're getting a great deal here.
In terms of overall features, this is a rechargeable wireless controller with a 30 hour battery life. It also has two remappable buttons, which you could potentially program to swap between your favorite weapons or quickly open the build menu in game.
PowerA Nintendo Switch Wireless Controller - Fortnite Peely: was £44.99 now £33.75 at Argos
Here's a great deal for those in the UK. The Nintendo Switch Lite Animal Crossing Bundle is not only back in stock at Argos but has even been discounted by £10!
This bundle was everywhere last year, which is when I personally picked one up, but has become quite hard to find as of late. It's not difficult to imagine why, as it has a special edition Nintendo Switch Lite console with a super cute Animal Crossing design.
You also get a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which is pre-installed. You even get a 12 month Nintendo Switch Online membership too, which I haven't seen included previously and didn't come with my model back in the day.
I often recommend the Nintendo Switch Lite as the best system for those on a tight budget, as it comes in under £200 and boasts all the same performance as the pricier Nintendo Switch in a much more compact form factor. It's also a great option for kids, as it's quite durable and can withstand drops a bit better than other systems.
Nintendo Switch Lite Animal Crossing Bundle: was ££199.99 now £189.99 at Argos
The Nintendo Switch Pro controller is one of the best Nintendo Switch controllers out there today, but this official pad rarely receives substantial discounts. That's all changed now, though, as it has received a massive $20 discount at Best Buy.
This is a pretty huge deal and whether you're buying for the first time or looking for a spare or replacement, this is a great price. The Nintendo Switch Pro controller is bursting with features like NFC, gyro support, and HD Rumble and also has some of the absolute best battery life on the market. Seriously, this thing takes ages to run out of juice.
Nintendo Switch Pro Controller: was $69.99 now $49.99 at Best Buy
