In a move that’s sure to excite gamers everywhere, Nintendo is making waves just in time for Black Friday with some of the first significant discounts on its popular Switch consoles. You can snag the standard Switch for just $224.99 and the Switch OLED for $274.99—both are $75 off their usual prices. These deals come as part of a seasonal bundle that throws in extras worth $79, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. This service gives you access to online multiplayer, cloud saves, retro games, and the Nintendo Music mobile app.
Historically, it’s been rare to see such markdowns on these consoles after their launches. Until now, Nintendo has generally stuck to enhancing bundle value by adding bonus games or online trials rather than slashing prices. We’ve seen some store-specific promotions, but they often sold out quickly or were tied to memberships like Costco. With this latest offer, you’re getting the discount and keeping all the extras. Whether these prices will hold after Cyber Monday is up in the air, but don’t be surprised if they dip again as we edge closer to the anticipated release of the Switch 2 in early 2025.
Nintendo isn’t stopping at consoles; they’ve rolled out some tempting deals on accessories and games too. There’s a $20 discount on the durable and much-loved Switch Pro wireless controller and the same savings on pairs of Joy-Con controllers. Plus, some of the Switch’s must-have titles are now at their lowest prices. There are so many great bargains that it’s hard to mention them all. For a comprehensive list of these and other fantastic early Black Friday gaming deals, be sure to check our regularly updated roundup leading up to the big day on November 29.
