Nintendo is kicking off the holiday shopping season with a bang by dropping the prices on their popular Switch consoles, just in time for Black Friday. For a short period, you can snag the standard Switch for $224.99 and the upgraded Switch OLED for $274.99, both featuring a $75 discount. As part of the seasonal bundle offer, you’ll also enjoy $79 worth of extras, including the ever-popular Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. This means you’ll be able to dive into online multiplayer action, benefit from cloud saves, access a selection of retro games, and enjoy the Nintendo Music mobile app.
These consoles rarely see major price cuts following their release, except for a few store-specific promotions that are usually short-lived or tied to Costco memberships. Instead of slashing prices, Nintendo historically has added value by bundling in games or online service trials. Yet now, they’re offering genuine price reductions without skimping on the extras. Whether these discounts will hold after Cyber Monday is still a mystery, but with the potential release of the Switch 2 on the horizon in early 2025, we might just see more price drops soon.
Besides the console deals, Nintendo is rolling out fantastic savings on accessories and games too. You can grab the excellent Switch Pro wireless controller and Joy-Con controllers, each $20 cheaper than usual, and enjoy the best prices we’ve seen on some of the Switch’s top games. There are so many great offers, it’s tough to cover them all here. Be sure to check our detailed roundup of the best pre-Black Friday gaming deals, which we’ll keep updating until the big day on November 29.
