Nintendo Switch OLED Deal - Save $126 on Import Model

Nintendo Switch OLED (Import Model) Discount

Gamers looking for a Switch OLED just found a steal – AliExpress has the console for just $223.61 after applying coupon code USAFF30 at checkout. What makes this deal even sweeter is the fast shipping from US warehouses (about one week delivery) and AliExpress' buyer protection that includes 15-day free returns and guaranteed refunds if your order doesn't arrive within 20 days.

While this is an authentic Nintendo product, it's worth noting these are Japanese or Hong Kong imports. This means potential warranty limitations in the US and foreign language packaging/manuals. But don't let that deter you - the hardware itself is region-free and works perfectly in North America. You'll get English language options and even a US power adapter included.

Why Upgrade to the OLED Model?

The $126 savings make the OLED particularly compelling. That premium screen delivers noticeably richer colors, deeper blacks, and sharper text compared to the base model's LCD panel. While only slightly larger (7" vs 6.2"), the reduced bezels make it feel significantly more immersive. Other nice touches include a sturdier kickstand, dock with ethernet port, and those slick white Joy-Cons you can't get with standard models.

Switch Game Deals: $20 Off Major Titles

Right now at Best Buy, several Switch essentials like Pikmin 4, Splatoon 3, and Breath of the Wild have dropped to $39.99 - a $20 discount. These aren't just old titles either; newer releases like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Kirby and the Forgotten Land are part of the sale too.

Whether you prefer physical or digital copies, these discounts make building your game library more affordable. And with Switch 2 confirmed to maintain backwards compatibility, these purchases won't become obsolete when the new console arrives.

About That Switch 2 Release...

If you're waiting for Nintendo's next-gen console, recent reports suggest it won't launch until after June 2025 - potentially much later. Expect pricing to start around $400, nearly double this OLED deal. While waiting might make sense for some, current-gen Switch owners can enjoy incredible games at record-low prices right now. The platform continues getting fantastic new releases too.
