Prime Big Deal Days 2026: Early Nintendo Switch Deals, Donkey Kong Bananza DLC & Capcom Remake Updates

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days returns in October, and Nintendo platforms and products are once again a focal point for early discounts. Prime Big Deal Days 2026 is scheduled to run October 6–7, and retailers — including Amazon — have already begun listing Nintendo-related price cuts on Switch games, official merchandise and hardware accessories ahead of the main event. Amazon has stated that Prime Big Deal Days will run from October 6 through October 7, and several Nintendo-focused discounts are already live. The retailer is also updating its deals guide throughout the sale window to reflect short-term promotions and restocked items across the Nintendo Switch catalog. Early Deal Landscape: What to Watch - Switch games and digital content: Publishers often discount physical Switch titles and occasionally offer bundles or price drops on boxed releases leading into Prime events. Nintendo eShop gift cards and third-party Switch accessories such as controllers, cases and memory cards commonly see promotions as well. - Accessories and merchandise: Official Nintendo controllers, carrying cases and licensed merchandise are frequent highlights of Amazon’s early deals, with third-party manufacturers matching or beating those prices on occasion. Donkey Kong Bananza DLC Rotation Nintendo’s DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC for Donkey Kong Bananza, released in 2025, introduced monthly, time-limited events that rewarded players with collectible statues for island decoration. For months players assumed those rewards would be unobtainable after each event window closed. Nintendo has now returned those time-limited events in a monthly rotation, giving players repeated opportunities to earn previously time-gated cosmetic items. Capcom and the Resident Evil Remake Roadmap Over the past decade Capcom has pursued a remake strategy for several mainline Resident Evil titles, notably the Resident Evil 2 remake (2019) and the Resident Evil 4 remake (2023), both of which were commercially successful and broadly well-received by critics. Industry reporting indicates Capcom is planning how to proceed as its remake schedule aligns with the current series continuity, with the company mapping future steps for the franchise’s remakes as they approach parity with newer entries. How to Prepare Monitor Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days listings and set alerts for specific Switch titles, accessories and Nintendo merchandise.
