Many products across multiple tech categories are discounted, including dozens of video games and accessories.

Also, if you’re a Prime member who links their Amazon account, you’ll get free shipping.RelatedThe best deals we’ve found from Amazon’s Big Spring Sale (so far)I’ve tested the latest Switch 2 controllers, and this one is the bestOf the grab bag of products, the Nintendo Switch 2-related discounts stood out the most. For instance, you can get the physical version of Mario Kart World at Woot for $52 ($28 off). If your Switch 2 didn’t already include a digital copy of the exclusive, World is a must-have racing title that’s fun to play alone or with others (my colleague Andrew Webster called it “the perfect launch game” in his review). It includes an open world chock-full of challenges — a series first — or you can race through different course-filled cups, just like in the old days.Mario Kart World$52$8035% off$52$52 at Woot (with code SAVETWENTY)Additionally, 8BitDo’s fantastic Ultimate 2 and Pro 3 controllers — both compatible with the Switch 2 and other platforms — currently cost $36 and $37.60, respectively. Considering that both gamepads typically cost over $50 each, the savings are steep enough to consider getting more than one gamepad. The Ultimate 2 and Pro 3 have a similar set of features — rumble, motion controls, TMR joysticks, customizable back paddles, an extra shoulder button, and adjustable triggers — but their button and stick layouts cater to different gamers.8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller$36$7049% off$36$36 at Woot (with code SAVETWENTY)While the Ultimate 2 is arranged like a Switch 2 Pro (which itself is an Xbox-style layout), the Pro 3 is more akin to a PlayStation controller, with sticks close together in the middle. One neat feature of the Pro 3 not found in the Ultimate 2 is the ability to pull off its magnetic buttons and swap their positions, which is handy if you’re switching platforms. Both models also feature a 90-day Woot warranty.

Cameron Faulkner’s report details a limited-time promotion offered by Woot, a subsidiary of Amazon, coinciding with the launch of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale 2026. The core of the offering centers around discounts for the Switch 2 controllers and games. Specifically, the title *Mario Kart World* is available for $52, representing a 35% reduction from its typical price of $80. Alongside this, 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2 and Pro 3 controllers, both compatible with the Switch 2 and other platforms, are discounted significantly, with the Ultimate 2 seeing a 49% drop to $36 and the Pro 3 a 46% reduction to $38. Faulkner highlights that these savings represent substantial value compared to their typical retail price, emphasizing the attractive investment opportunity for Switch 2 owners looking to expand their gaming library or diversify their controller options.

Further reinforcing the promotional scope, Faulkner catalogs a selection of other discounted titles, including *The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom*, *Pokémon Legends: Z-A*, *Super Mario Bros. Wonder*, *Metaphor: ReFantazio*, *Silent Hill F*, and *Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Switch 2 Edition*, alongside the *Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon* title. These additional games span various genres and platforms, suggesting a broad appeal and catering to a range of user preferences. The availability of these titles on both the Switch 2 and other consoles is noted, acknowledging the potential for cross-platform gaming.

The article incorporates several key incentives to encourage immediate purchase decisions. Faulkner stresses the urgency of the offer, specifying that the discounts are valid only for today, March 26th, 2026, and emphasizing the inclusion of a 20% discount through 12:59 AM ET if the user employs the code "SAVETWENTY.” Further, he points out that Prime members benefit from free shipping, streamlining the buying process. Faulkner acknowledges the existence of a 90-day Woot warranty on both 8BitDo controllers, bolstering consumer confidence. The discussion briefly touches on the features of the controllers, such as rumble, motion controls, customizable paddles, and adjustable triggers, offering details relevant to potential buyers. Faulkner’s writing reflects a consumer-focused approach, positioning the deals as accessible and beneficial opportunities for existing and prospective Switch 2 owners, while simultaneously referencing his prior experience with the hardware, a valuable attribute for a commerce editor.
