Nintendo is gearing up to make waves this Black Friday with some enticing discounts on their Switch consoles. For a limited period, both the standard and OLED models are getting a $75 price cut. This means you can snag the regular Switch for just $224.99 and the OLED version for $274.99. To sweeten the deal, this offer is part of a seasonal bundle that throws in an impressive $79 worth of extras, including a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and three months of Nintendo Switch Online. This service not only lets you dive into online multiplayer battles but also offers cloud saves, access to classic games, and the Nintendo Music mobile app.
These are the first significant price drops for these consoles since they launched, aside from fleeting retailer-specific deals that often vanished within hours or came with requirements like a Costco subscription. Nintendo typically enhances the value of console bundles by adding games or online service trials instead of slashing prices. However, now you can enjoy actual savings without sacrificing the bonus content. Whether these discounts will make a comeback after Cyber Monday is anyone’s guess, but with the expected launch of the Switch 2 in early 2025, we might just see prices dip again.
On top of that, Nintendo is rolling out other exciting gaming deals. You can get $20 off their fantastic and durable Switch Pro wireless controller, and the same discount applies to pairs of Joy-Con controllers. Plus, some of the Switch’s must-play games are hitting record low prices. The list of great deals is simply too extensive to cover here, so make sure to check out our roundup of the best early Black Friday gaming deals. We’ll keep updating it regularly as we approach the big day on November 29.
