Quick update — Switch 2 price drop
Hot tip: the Nintendo Switch 2 (Extra Option) can still be had for €346 with the codes ESNS50 or DSES50 when you pay via PayPal — that’s a nice slice off the usual €469 list price. No links, no fuss, just a cheaper console if you move fast.
Why AliExpress is doing this (short version)
AliExpress got annoyed by that tiny-but-annoying €3 customs fee and launched a cheeky “Duty Savings” promo to make Spain-bound orders easier on the wallet. The campaign runs from August 17 to August 26, and Nintendo stuff is one of the categories they pushed hard — so we hunted down the best Switch and Switch 2 bargains for you.
Top game deals worth eyeballing
Here are the discounted titles we found (prices already have the coupon applied):
Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition — €53.15. Big RPG energy, big value.
Splatoon Raiders — €44.95. Ink, chaos, and probably some celebratory squid dances.
Resident Evil Requiem — €50.31. New-ish horror with a surprisingly decent price tag.
Monster Hunter Stories 3 — €47.67. Cute monsters, surprisingly serious loot.
Pragmata — €46.79. Lunar vibes and a price that doesn’t make you cry.
Final Fantasy I–VI Anniversary Edition — €45.03. Classics for less — nostalgia win.
Final Fantasy IX — €38.87. The surprise bargain of the bunch.
Quick note: Requiem, Monster Hunter Stories 3 and Pragmata are fresh(ish) releases from this year, so seeing them under €51 feels like a mini celebration. We’ve written reviews for some of these if you want extra convincing — but honestly, cheap FF and a new horror game? Tempting.
Switch 2 console options (which one to pick?)
There are several Switch 2 listings in the promo, all with the site coupon applied and an extra €33 discount if you check out with PayPal. Prices change a little depending on the exact option, but here’s the gist:
Option 1 — European version with Nintendo Spain warranty: €324.10 with PayPal (€357.10 without PayPal).
Option 2 — European version with Nintendo Spain warranty (alternate bundle): €324.59 with PayPal (€357.59 without PayPal).
Option 3 — Another European version with Nintendo Spain warranty: €324.10 with PayPal (€357.10 without PayPal).
Option 4 — EU version with local warranty: €347.20 with PayPal (€380.20 without PayPal).
Option 5 — Spanish version, European warranty, 256 GB: €354.01 with PayPal (€387.01 without PayPal).
If you want the steepest discount, watch the first two options — they’re the ones that land around €324 with coupon + PayPal, which is roughly €145 below retail in some cases. In short: add to cart and don’t dilly-dally if you want one.
Timing and final thoughts
Important dates: the coupons go live at 00:00 on Sunday, August 17, and expire at 23:59 on Monday, August 26. That’s your window. You can always start filling your cart now so checkout is quick when the discount hits.
So — planning to grab a shiny new Switch 2 or a bargain game? Either way, this promo is a decent chance to save a chunk of change. No pressure, but your future self (and your game backlog) will probably thank you.
