Nintendo Switch 2 deals in Australia: the best console and accessory bargains right now

Good news, gamers. The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally available on Amazon in Australia, and it’s being offered for one of the cheapest prices, at the time of writing.

The Nintendo Switch 2 releases on 5 June in Australia, along with Mario Kart World and a range of new accessories. The console on its own has an RRP of AU$699.95, but Amazon’s offering it for just AU$696. It’s a price that beats most other retailers in Australia, and with Nintendo’s next device generation so close that you could touch it, Amazon’s listing might push you to make a purchase – especially if you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber, or have just been holding out until now.

Want the Mario Kart World bundle? That’s available on Amazon too – for AU$766 (also discounted by AU$3.95).

What’s new with the Nintendo Switch 2?

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a bigger and more powerful console than its predecessor, which was released in 2017. It has a huge 7.9-inch 120Hz 1080p LCD display (bigger than the 7-inch screen on the Switch OLED).

But the screen’s not the only thing that’s gotten an upgrade. The Joy-Cons now magnetically attach to the console, and just like the original Switch, the gamepad can be slotted into a docking station to project your gameplay onto a TV or monitor.

The controllers are fundamentally the same as when the Switch first debuted, apart from four changes. The aforementioned magnetism, an extra trigger on the backside, a new button on the front for Game Chat (a quick tool for communicating with friends in-game) and the ability to convert the controller into a mouse on the fly.

A 5,220mAh battery is built-in with 256GB default storage and a MicroSD Express card slot, allowing for up to 1TB of extra space. As for performance, the Switch 2 uses a new custom chip by Nvidia which reportedly allows for up to 10x the graphical performance vs the OG Switch.

DLSS and ray tracing are also possible on the new console, though titles using these features have not been revealed (apart from Hogwarts Legacy). Select original Switch games will be getting upgrades to match the Switch 2’s performance, and most Nintendo Switch games (including those on cartridges) will be compatible with the new console.
