This Nintendo Switch Lite comes with 'Animal Crossing' — the additional $40 off is just icing on the cake

SAVE $100: Nintendo's Switch Lite console is down to one of the lowest prices we've seen it at, with Walmart selling it for $159. Not only is that a $40 discount, but this bundle comes with Animal Crossing: New Horizons, one of the Switch's most popular games.

Prime Day may be primarily an Amazon event, but that doesn't mean other retailers can't join in on the action. One of the best gaming deals of the day comes from Walmart, for example, which is selling the Nintendo Switch Lite with Animal Crossing: New Horizons for just $159. Compare that to the roughly $260 it would have cost to get a Switch Lite with Animal Crossing back when the game first came out — and you've got yourself a tantalizing gaming deal.

There are, of course, tons of great Switch games (including many that are currently on the way), so getting a cheap Switch Lite, even with the rumored Switch 2 on the way, could be a steal. Even if you choose not to buy any other Switch games for a while, though, Animal Crossing should keep you occupied with its unique real-time calendar features and omnipresent sense of stress-free whimsy. In our review, Kellen Beck called it a "little beacon of hope."

"Playing it makes me feel like I'm taking the video game version of a breath of fresh air, or going on a little vacation away from everything that feels like it could make me collapse into a pile of jittering slime," Beck said.
