As the excitement builds for Amazon’s highly anticipated Prime Big Deal Days (also known as October Prime Day), we’re thrilled to report that some fantastic early discounts are already live. These are deals you absolutely won’t want to miss!
Right now, a selection of new Nintendo Switch 2 games are available at unprecedented low prices on Amazon. For example, grab Donkey Kong Bananza for just $53.54, a significant drop from its original $69.99. Other exciting titles on offer include Cyberpunk 2077, Mario Kart World, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Breath of the Wild. The best part? The additional discount is automatically applied at checkout, making saving super easy.
So, what’s the secret to these amazing prices? These are technically sold under Amazon Resale. Before you raise an eyebrow, let us assure you, this isn’t your typical ‘used’ marketplace. Our deals team eagerly anticipates these sales every year, knowing they offer some of the best opportunities for significant savings.
Many of the items we’re highlighting in this sale are categorized as “Used – Like New,” meaning Amazon considers them almost brand new, often never used, with only minor cosmetic damage to the packaging – not to the actual game or its contents. So, you’re getting essentially a new game without paying the full price, and definitely not something that looks like it’s been through a rumble in the jungle.
Beyond Switch 2 titles, Amazon Resale has previously featured other hot gaming gear, such as the PlayStation Portal, which temporarily dropped to around $140 (now sold out), and the DualSense Edge controller, also spotted for about $140. A crucial tip for these types of deals: stock is usually very limited, so if you see something you want, act fast to avoid disappointment!
This resale program is genuinely one of the smartest ways to get your hands on some of the most popular and often expensive new games, especially from publishers like Nintendo, who rarely offer direct discounts.
And don’t worry about buyer’s remorse – you still benefit from Amazon’s generous 30-day return policy. This makes it a much more secure option than purchasing used games from an unknown seller online.
Furthermore, if you’re hunting for even more fantastic Switch 2 game deals beyond the Resale section, we’ve also recently covered direct discounts on games sold by Amazon. These include titles like Split Fiction, Sonic x Shadow Generations, and Madden NFL 26, among others.
