In an exciting move leading up to Black Friday, Nintendo is offering significant discounts on their Switch consoles, making waves in the gaming community. For a limited time, both the standard Switch and the enhanced Switch OLED are available at $75 off. This means you can pick them up for $224.99 and $274.99, respectively. These deals are part of a seasonal bundle packed with $79 worth of extras, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. This subscription gives you access to online multiplayer, cloud saves, retro games, and even the Nintendo Music mobile app.
Historically, substantial discounts on these consoles post-launch have been rare, with promotions typically tied to specific retailers and often requiring a membership, like those at Costco. Nintendo’s strategy has been to add value rather than cut prices, by bundling consoles with games or online service trials. However, this time, they’re slashing prices while keeping all those extra perks intact. Whether or not these offers will be available after Cyber Monday is uncertain, but as we move closer to the anticipated release of the Switch 2 in early 2025, further price drops wouldn’t be surprising.
Beyond consoles, Nintendo is also offering fantastic deals on accessories and games. You can save $20 on the exceptional and durable Switch Pro wireless controller and on pairs of Joy-Con controllers. Plus, some of the Switch’s top games are priced at all-time lows. There are just too many great offers to cover in one go, so be sure to check out our comprehensive guide to the best early Black Friday gaming deals. We’ll keep updating it as we approach the big day on November 29.
