Nintendo has taken the gaming world by storm with its pre-Black Friday deals, slashing prices on Switch consoles for the first time in a major way. The standard Switch model now goes for $224.99, and the sleek Switch OLED is priced at $274.99, both reflecting a $75 discount. These deals also cover a seasonal bundle featuring Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and three months of Nintendo Switch Online, offering online play, cloud saves, access to classic retro games, and the Nintendo Music mobile app—all valued at $79.
Historically, these consoles have rarely seen such markdowns since their debut, apart from some fleeting retailer promos that often sold out swiftly or required a Costco membership. Nintendo’s usual strategy to enhance console appeal has been through bundling games or trial access to their online services. But this time, gamers can enjoy these price drops without sacrificing any bundled extras. Whether these deals will linger after Cyber Monday is uncertain, but many speculate prices might dip even further as the rumored launch of the Switch 2 approaches in early 2025.
Beyond console discounts, Nintendo is offering excellent deals across its range of gaming accessories and titles. Gamers can save $20 on the highly-rated Switch Pro wireless controller and Joy-Con pairs. Some of the top-tier games for the Switch are also available at their best prices yet. With so many bargains on the horizon, you’d do well to explore our comprehensive roundup of the best early Black Friday gaming deals. We’re keeping this guide up-to-date right up until Black Friday on November 29, so you won’t miss out on any sweet offers.
