Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers Get A Big Discount In Time For Christmas

Still looking for last-minute Christmas gifts for the Nintendo fans on your shopping list? Congrats! There's a great deal going on for one of the most popular Nintendo Switch accessories: the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. Most people consider the Pro controller the best controller for the console, and this sale is not only one of the few times we've seen it go on sale during the holiday season, but also one of the sharpest price drops we've seen all year.

Both Amazon and Walmart are currently selling the Switch Pro Controller for $55. Considering this Nintendo controller normally goes for a whopping $70 and rarely goes on sale, this is a hell of a deal and great opportunity for anyone looking to upgrade. Both come with free shipping, and if you have Amazon Prime, you should get free one-day shipping.

The Switch Pro Controller is an excellent investment if you're a new Switch owner looking to upgrade from the standard grip and Joy-Cons the Switch comes with. It has a more traditional shape that makes it easier to grip and comfortable to play with for long periods, and it has a nice weight to it. It made our list of the best Switch controllers you can buy, although there are other third-party options out there that are cheaper. For $55, though, you won't regret picking up the Pro Controller.

It's unclear how long this deal will last, and it's likely one of these stores is price-matching the other. So if the Pro Controller has been on your wishlist for some time now, we recommend snagging this deal before it sells out. You certainly won't have a better chance before Christmas.
