UK retailer Tesco is selling half price Nintendo Switch consoles and games

UK retailer Tesco has been selling Nintendo Switch consoles for half their regular price on Monday.

In a surprise clearance sale, the standard Switch console has been made available for £115 (usually £230), and the price of the Switch OLED model has been reduced to £152.50 (usually £305).

It should be noted that you’ll be lucky to find a Switch console at one of these heavily reduced prices as the stock is limited, and it’s only available in-store at selected branches.

You can use the Tesco app to search for availability in your local area or phone stores to see if they have any in stock.

Tesco’s clearance sale also covers a number of heavily discounted Switch games, including:

• Pokémon Legends Arceus for £18.50 (was £37)
• Pokémon Brilliant Diamond for £18.50 (was £37)
• Pokémon Shining Pearl for £18.50 (was £37)
• Animal Crossing New Horizons for £18.50 (was £37)
• Luigi’s Mansion 3 for £20 (was £40)
• Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury for £20 (was £40)

As with the consoles, the software deals listed above are only available in selected stores.

Nintendo is reportedly planning to increase Switch production in its next fiscal year beginning in April to meet continued demand for the console, which will soon enter its seventh year on the market.

The company will announce its third-quarter earnings results on February 7.

It’s also been claimed that a new Nintendo Direct showcase could be held this week.
