The best Nintendo Switch deal of 2019 is back, plus the selection of games has changed to include the best non-Mario titles as well as the Mario ones. Choose between a neon or gray Switch along with one of five games (Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Party, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, or Splatoon 2), an exclusive Mario Pin, and a card reader all for only $329.99. This deal won’t last long.

The price of this bundle has dropped an additional $30 today, which means that you’re getting the Nintendo Switch console with Starlink Starter Pack (including the game), and your choice of Starlink Accessory for a few dollars cheaper than getting the Switch by itself. The Switch version of Starlink includes the Starfox character as well as the iconic Arwing starfighter, the closest thing you’ll get to playing a Starfox game on the Switch.

This is one of very few themed Switch consoles (if you don’t count the ones that are “themed” with different colored Joy-Cons). It’s been sold out for most of the time since it was released late last year, but inventory has been replenished today. The bundle includes the Switch with yellow and gold Joy-Cons as well as a custom designed back and dock, a copy of Pokemon: Let’s Go! and the Poke Ball Plus. There’s no upcharge compared to buying this bundle separately, and you won’t get this design any other way.

At this price, the 200GB memory card for your Nintendo Switch is the best bang for you buck. There’s a 256GB model out there for $39.99 and a 128GB model for $19.99, both of which you’d be paying 15.6 cents per gigabyte. Do the math and you’ll see that you’re paying 12.5 cents per gigabyte for the 200GB model, which is probably more than enough storage for most gamers.
- Get it on Amazon for $25
This power bank is officially licensed and recommended by Nintendo. The Nintendo Switch supports the USB Power Delivery standard, which basically means it can charge alot faster with a USB-PD power bank like this one compared to a standard USB power bank. You can charge your Switch from empty to full in only 3.5 hours. The 20,100 battery capacity is enough to fully charge your Switch up to 2.5 times. This is the lowest price we’ve seen.

Wow, paying $61.18 for a Arctis 7 headphones is an insane price, considering the headphones normally sell for $150 new. This is IGN Deals’ best selling gaming headset and for good reason. We rated it a 9.8/10 here at IGN and I wholeheartedly agree. In fact, I think this is the best headset you can get at this price range. The 2019 edition improves upon the older model with thicker ear cushions, redesigned headband to fit larger heads, redesigned on-ear controls, more bass output, and the inclusion of DTS Headphone:X v2.0 for better sound.
Make sure you select “Amazon Warehouse” as your vendor.

The Sega Genesis Mini is now up for preorder with a slated release date of September 19. 40 games will be pre-loaded onto the console. The 10 we know of at the moment are:
- Ecco the Dolphin
- Castlevania: Bloodlines
- Space Harrier 2
- Shining Force
- Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
- Toe Jam & Earl
- Comix Zone
- Sonic the Hedgehog
- Altered Beast

All reports indicate that Sega is going to do this release right. According to our own Seth Macy, “if you have emulation worries, Sega has M2 working on the emulation for its mini console. If you’re unfamiliar with M2, it handled the excellent Sega Ages Collections and also the delightful Sega 3D Classic collections for Nintendo 3DS. It would be hard to find a developer with a better pedigree to handle the software for the first-party Sega Genesis Mini.“
