Save Some Bucks on the Nintendo Switch 2 Before the Price Hike Hits

If there was one gaming console that took home the gold last year, it was the Nintendo Switch 2. After nearly eight years of gameplay with the original handheld hybrid, Nintendo finally released the new model and didn't pull its punches—and the raving reviews had it flying off shelves faster than you fly off the edge of Rainbow Road.

Nothing scratches a good savings itch like seeing how low you can go on gaming consoles. Right now on Woot, you can take an extra $15 off a brand-new Nintendo Switch 2 with the code NEW15 at checkout. The only catch is that it's only for new customers, so if you haven't shopped at Woot before, you're in luck—with the $50 price hike coming in September, it's likely that this beloved console won't ever be this cheap again.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is better than the original in nearly every way, with a much bigger display that still doesn't feel bulky, smarter Joy-Con 2 controllers, beautiful 4K graphics (finally), and a 120Hz refresh rate that makes your gaming feel sharper, smoother, and more vibrant. It also supports high dynamic range (HDR) video to expand the color and contrast, while a variable refresh rate (VRR) on the console's display automatically adjusts the refresh rate in real time to tamp down judder and screen tearing. And because the Switch 2 has excellent (and nearly perfect) backward compatibility, nearly all your original Switch games will work on the new console, so don't let the worry about leaving your favorite games behind hinder your upgrade.

Your gaming skills might actually get even better, especially since Nintendo ships the Switch 2 with smarter Joy-Con 2 controllers. They have a new mouse mode that gives you meticulous control over movements, which is a huge advantage for shooters, strategy games, and other genres that need a precise touch. And the Switch 2 still ships with two accessories—a double grip to hold both the Joy-Con 2s at the same time, and a pair of wriststraps so the controllers don't fly across the room during particularly passionate gameplay.

The original Switch was good, but the Switch 2 is by far the better console. In our review, expert Will Greenwald gave the Switch 2 an "Excellent" rating, saying that it puts "Nintendo on the same playing ground as Microsoft and Sony when it comes to graphical fidelity," and that it's "far more versatile than the PS5 or the Xbox Series X, thanks to its hybrid handheld nature." It's the reason why we gave it our Editors' Choice award and crowned it our top pick for gaming systems.
