Nintendo has already confirmed that the price of the Switch 2 will increase to $500 this September, a move that aligns with rising component costs. But that is exactly what’s making today’s deal look a lot more attractive.

Right now, you can save $15 on the Nintendo Switch 2 by using promo code NEW15 at checkout at Woot. The promotion runs through the 19th of this month, giving gamers a small but meaningful opportunity to buy the console before the upcoming price increase takes effect.

Why Choose the Nintendo Switch 2?

One of the most noticeable upgrades on this console is the larger 7.9-inch display. The vibrant 1080p screen supports HDR and refresh rates up to 120fps in compatible games, providing smoother gameplay and detailed visuals.

It also has a redesigned dock that supports up to 4K output on compatible TVs, allowing supported games to look sharper and more immersive. You get up to 256GB of internal storage, which can be expanded with microSD Express cards.

Additionally, since the updated controllers now connect magnetically, attaching them to the console is easier and more secure. They also feature mouse-style controls in compatible games, opening the door for new gameplay possibilities that weren’t available on previous Nintendo hardware.

The Switch 2 supports both physical and digital Nintendo Switch games, allowing you to bring portions of your current game libraries with you rather than starting from scratch. Plus, the new GameChat feature lets you voice chat, share gameplay screens, and even participate in video chats when paired with a compatible USB-C camera.

While a $15 discount may not sound huge at first glance, context matters. Discounts on Nintendo hardware are notoriously rare, and with the Switch 2’s price scheduled to jump to $500 in September, any opportunity to save before that increase arrives feels much more valuable.

For gamers planning to buy a Switch 2 anyway, this limited-time Woot promotion offers a chance to lock one in at a lower price before Nintendo’s upcoming price hike takes effect.
