On Thursday, Nintendo finally announced the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2! I can't wait to get my hands on one, but there's still a while left to wait. Nintendo hasn't announced an official release date yet, but we do know the Switch 2 will arrive sometime this year, most likely the spring.

So, whether you're upgrading your current Switch setup to ride out the wait or just looking for some new gear to scratch the Nintendo Switch 2 itch, I found a handful of great deals on Switch controllers on Amazon that might do the trick.

While we don't know for sure yet if all of these will be compatible with the Switch 2, it's certainly possible since most simply connect via Bluetooth. You can also use most of these controllers with other devices like your PC, phone, or tablet.

For example, the PowerA Enhanced Wireless is one of the best Switch controllers and just a great all-around game controller. Right now it's down to just $35 on Amazon! I've personally used one of these controllers for PC and Switch for years and love it — the buttons are just the right amount of clicky, performance is consistent, and the shape and size are perfect for me.

If the PowerA Enhanced isn't to your liking, there are other great deals on Switch controllers you can snag this weekend.
