Remember when the Nintendo Switch 2 launched at AU$699? Those were the days, right? Well, Amazon is currently offering the console for exactly that price—AU$699, down from its current AU$769 RRP. If you missed JB Hi-Fi's recent deal, here's your second chance.
So why is this such a big deal? Back in September, the Switch 2's RRP jumped to AU$769. That means Amazon's offer is essentially a flashback to pre-price-hike times. With gaming costs climbing every month, snagging a Switch 2 for AU$699 is becoming increasingly rare. If you've been on the fence, this is a solid opportunity to save AU$70.
This is the standalone console—no bundled games. But think about it: that AU$70 you save could go toward a game. For example, the Ocarina of Time remake is currently AU$108 on Amazon. Games are pricey in 2026, huh? Still, every bit of savings helps.
As Black Friday approaches, you might wonder if the Switch 2 will get even cheaper. Honestly? Don't count on it. With the AI-induced RAM crisis driving up hardware prices, I'd be shocked if we see a better deal than this. In fact, it might not drop much below AU$699 at all.
But wait—there are other deals on Amazon right now too. Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, which just launched last week, is down to AU$84 from AU$89.95. Star Fox is AU$69 (was AU$74), and Metroid Prime 4 is AU$79 (was AU$89.95). If you're building your Switch 2 library, these are worth a look.
So, will you grab the Switch 2 at this price? Or are you holding out for Black Friday? Let us know in the comments!
