Resident Evil Switch 2 Controller and Bundle Deals
Handheld gamers often get overlooked in deal roundups, but this week’s sales have a few gems for portable players. The highlight? A rare discount on the Resident Evil-themed Switch 2 Pro Controller and a refurbished Switch 2 bundle that makes the upcoming price hike a lot less painful.
The Resident Evil Pro Controller: A Stylish Upgrade for Switch 2 Players
The Resident Evil: Requiem Edition Switch 2 Pro Controller is down to $89.99 — its lowest price yet and just $10 off the standard version. For a special edition that channels Raccoon City nostalgia with newspaper-clipping art, that’s a solid deal for fans. As a handheld-focused player, you might wonder: why buy a Pro Controller at all? In handheld mode, the Joy-Cons are fine, but when you dock your Switch 2 for tabletop or TV play, the Pro Controller’s larger sticks and tactile buttons make a real difference, especially in action-heavy titles like Resident Evil 4. Plus, this controller retains all the Switch 2-specific features like improved ergonomics. If you’re a collector or just want a backup controller with style, $90 is a fair price.
Refurbished Switch 2 Bundle: Save $80 Before the Price Hike
Amazon-owned Woot is offering a Grade “A” Refurbished Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Console Bundle for $419 — that’s $80 off the $499 retail, matching the refurbished Switch 2 deal we covered earlier. It includes a full download code for Mario Kart World. The refurbished unit comes with a 90-day warranty, so you’re covered for initial defects. Given that Nintendo is raising the Switch 2 price in September (a move that will affect all bundles), now is the time to lock in savings. For handheld gamers who missed launch, this is the most affordable entry point to date. Just remember: refurbished means it could have minor cosmetic blemishes, but Woot’s Grade A designation usually means it’s practically new.
