Nintendo is setting the stage for an exciting Black Friday, rolling out some significant discounts on their popular Switch consoles. For a limited time, both the standard Switch model and the upgraded OLED version are available for $75 less than their usual price, now going for $224.99 and $274.99, respectively. This deal also includes a seasonal bundle worth $79, featuring the hit game Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. This service opens up a world of possibilities with online multiplayer, cloud saves, retro games, and even the Nintendo Music mobile app.
Historically, Nintendo hasn’t regularly offered substantial discounts on these consoles since their launches. The price drops we’ve seen were usually tied to specific retailers and involved purchase conditions, like signing up for Costco memberships or snagging a deal before stock disappeared. Instead of cutting prices, Nintendo has traditionally boosted value by adding games or trials to their bundles, but this time, they are offering actual discounts while still including the extra perks. Whether or not these prices stick around post-Cyber Monday is uncertain, but it wouldn’t be surprising if they continue to drop as we approach the anticipated release of the Switch 2 in early 2025.
On top of that, Nintendo is offering some impressive savings on accessories and games. You can get $20 off the highly acclaimed Switch Pro wireless controller known for its durability, as well as $20 off sets of Joy-Con controllers. Plus, some of the most popular Switch games are currently at their lowest prices ever. The list of deals is extensive and worth a look, so if you’re eager to snag some bargains, check out our detailed roundup of the top early Black Friday gaming deals. This guide will see regular updates leading up to Black Friday on November 29th.
