Amazon’s upcoming 48-hour Big Deal Days event is effectively the reincarnation of Prime Day 2023. Running October 10-11, Prime Day Round 2 is sure to include heaps of great gaming deals, including discounts on Nintendo Switch games, accessories, and merch. In fact, rival retailers are already kicking off competing sales. Meanwhile, Amazon has a ton of enticing Nintendo Switch deals to shop ahead of Prime Day Round 2 next week.
