Nintendo Switch / CNET

There's no doubt that the Nintendo Switch 2 is the chase console at the moment, but that's not because the Nintendo Switch OLED is anything less than fantastic. Actually, if you're not fussed about missing out on the small library of Switch 2 exclusives, now might be the best time to grab the original console.

Woot currently has an amazing deal going on alongside Prime Day. You can get your hands on a Nintendo Switch OLED for as little as $249 right now. That's $101 off the normal price, and you can even get it with Mario Kart 8 for just $275. This is the international model, but it won't put up many barriers, and at this price, it's definitely worth considering. But hurry: With such a big discount, the console is likely to sell out today.

The Nintendo Switch OLED may no longer be the best Switch console on the market, since the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 has finally launched. However, the OLED still has a larger screen than both the original Switch and Lite models, with a 7-inch OLED display offering more vivid colors and greater contrast.

The device also has a redesigned kickstand and TV dock, along with 64GB of internal storage. Whether you're investing in a Nintendo Switch for the first time, want to upgrade your current device or are buying a console as a gift, this deal makes it much more affordable.
