In November, the Japanese gaming giant revealed it’s sold more than 132million Switch devices worldwide, making it the company’s best-selling home console ever.
The Switch was first released back in 2017.
So if you’ve had yours for a few years a new set of Joy-Cons might be useful before the battery life dwindles.

They cost £59.99 at Argos as part of this offer, which is the usual price you’ll find them in most other retailers.
“Cracking bargain this,” one user wrote on HotUKDeals.
“I needed replacement controllers so the extra game was a bonus,” another said.
A third commented: “Great price with Metroid, outstanding game.”

Metroid Dread
Metroid Dread is an action-adventure game that was released in 2021.

Bayonetta 3
Bayonetta 3 is a 2022 action-adventure hack and slash title which comes eight years after the last award-winning game.
You return as the titular angel-hunting witch who now faces man-made bioweapons called Homunculi, as well as a foe called the Singularity threatening to destroy the multiverse.
Everybody 1-2-Switch!
Everybody 1-2-Switch! is a party video game released in 2023 that challenges players with a series of minigames.
Up to eight people can participate with the Joy-Cons with wacky movements, or a maximum of 100 with activity and trivia-based tasks on smartphones.
The most expensive of the bunch is Metroid Dread, which would normally set you back £37.99.
Bayonetta 3 usually sells for £29.99, while Everybody 1-2-Switch! is currently £19.99.
