It’s here! It’s finally here! The Nintendo Switch is here!! Nintendo’s next-generation console was officially unveiled just two short months ago, but it feels like we’ve been waiting an eternity for the Switch to be released. Of course, that can likely be attributed to the fact that Wii U was a total mess, so Nintendo fans have been waiting for a hot new console ever since 2012. Well, the wait is over and the Switch is finally here. Of course, there’s still one big problem: There are barely and games available for the Switch right now.

If you pick up a new Nintendo Switch right now, you’ve got a few good choices as far as games go. Here they are:

Of course apart from Zelda, there are two games in particular that people can’t wait to play. Sadly, we have no choice but to wait, but there is consolation to be found. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will be released next month and Super Mario Odyssey is coming in late December. However, if you preorder either or both of these hot games right now on Amazon, you’ll save 20%. That means these hotly anticipated titles can be yours for $47.99 each instead of the regular retail price of $59.99.

The deal is available to any and all Amazon Prime subscribers, and you can sign up for a free 30-day Prime trial if you’re not already a member, and you’ll get the deal without having to pay for Prime.
