Here's Your Last Chance to Get a Nintendo Switch 2 Console for $399.99 Before the September 1 Price Hike

Woot, a subsidiary of Amazon, is offering a last-minute deal on a refurbished Nintendo Switch 2 console for $399.99. This deal is available to buyers while stocks last, with Prime members enjoying free shipping and non-Prime users paying an extra $4.99 for delivery. The deal includes a 90-day warranty from Woot, guaranteeing minimal cosmetic damage and successful diagnostic testing, ensuring like-new functionality and removal of any personal data from the previous user. The unit comes with OEM accessories and is packaged in a generic white or brown box.

Nintendo announced that the Switch 2 console will increase in price from September 1, raising it from $449.99 to $499.99. In response, Woot is offering the console at the lower price before the increase takes effect. After the price hike, two new bundles will be available: the Mario Kart World bundle, which includes 3 months of Switch Online membership for $550, and the Switch Sports Resort Bundle, priced at $530 and also including 3 months of Switch Online.

Upgrading to the Switch 2 from the original Switch provides several advantages. Several high-profile games have been released exclusively for the Switch 2, including Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Kirby Air Ride, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Pokemon Pokopia, and more. Additionally, major titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade have been ported to the Switch 2, making it a strong competitor to pricier handheld gaming PCs.

The Switch 2's hardware is powerful enough to run these games with decent performance, a capability that wasn't possible on the original Switch.
