Macworld TL;DR: Despite RAM shortages, this Nintendo Switch Bundle is still only $219.99 (reg. $299.99). RAM shortages are already affecting game consoles, which might be why it’s so hard to find an affordable Switch 2 or Steam Deck. If you want to play your favorite games on a budget, the original Nintendo Switch is actually pretty affordable right now. Instead of paying $299.99, you can get a near-mint condition Nintendo Switch for $219.99. This refurbished bundle comes with the console, the dock, left and right Joy-Con controllers in red and blue, Joy-Con grips, an HDMI cable, and a USB-C charging adapter. Games aren’t included, but because the Nintendo Switch is already an established console, there are a ton of games already out. Battery life lasts around 4.5 to 9 hours, depending on the game. The Joy-Cons can attach to the sides for handheld play, snap into the grip for a more traditional controller feel, or split so each person holds one for local multiplayer. Motion controls are built in, so games that use movement still work the way they’re supposed to. This unit is a refurbished Grade A model, listed as near mint with minimal to zero scuffing, and it’s on sale now. Get a Nintendo Switch for just $219.99.
