FAQs

The best Nintendo Switch Joy-Con deals are well worth keeping an eye on if you're in search of a replacement pair or a new color scheme for your hybrid handheld. But, as one of Nintendo's most esteemed accessories, they don't come cheap, and discounts on the controllers can be pretty uncommon, but that doesn't mean there are none whatsoever.

There's a lot of neat technology packed into these controllers that make them a key part of the Nintendo Switch experience, which explains their pretty hefty price tag. Tech like HD Rumble, gyro aiming and the fact they function as two controllers for the price of one for certain games lend them incredible value.

You can check out all the best Nintendo Switch bundle deals for the latest offers on consoles or browse the latest Nintendo Switch game deals for the best prices on new and classic releases. Or, for a more traditional experience, it might be worth browsing through all the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller deals available today, too.

One of two standard Joy-Con variants, the other being plain gray. If you're looking to replace an older pair and not too fussed about alternate colorways, then this price is your best bet right now.

Best Nintendo Switch Joy-Con deals - FAQs

Is the Joy-Con worth it?

The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con price is actually $10 more than the Pro Controller, despite being the standard issue controller for the console. However, you are technically getting two gamepads for the money, doubling up your multiplayer capacity from the off and giving you more color combinations for your Switch as well. 

Where can I find the best Joy-Con deals?

Nintendo Switch Joy-Con deals are fairly limited to particularly busy shopping periods. That means your best bet for reliable discounts will be holiday sales in November or December, however that's not to say you can't find some cheap Joy-Con throughout the rest of the year. 

We usually see US and UK retailers shave a little off the price of Joy-Con controllers throughout the year but these savings are sporadic and infrequent. Check out the comparison charts above for the latest prices, but just know that if you're pay under $79.99 (£59.99 / AU$119) it's likely you're getting a great deal.
