Best Nintendo game consoles under $300
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 3, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: Nintendo Switch OLED with Accessories Kit — the OLED screen is the biggest upgrade you can get for the money, and the bundled kit saves you buying a case and extras separately. Best all-rounder for docked-and-handheld play.
Who the others suit:
- Switch OLED 64GB with Joy-Con — same OLED screen, plain bundle, if you already own accessories.
- Switch Lite — handheld only, no TV output: the pick for a kid or a commuter.
- Switch V2 / HAC-001(-01) — cheapest way into the full Switch library with TV play.
- Mario Red & Blue Edition — for collectors who want the special colourway.
The Switch 2 is the newest generation but sits above your cap, so it's left out here.
