While everyone else is shopping for the best Black Friday deals on TVs, PCs, smart home goods and more, some of us are looking for great deals on gaming consoles, specifically the Nintendo Switch. If that’s you, listen up because we’ve scoured the shopping world for some truly amazing Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals, some you can even shop today. We’ve found deals on the console itself, including bundles, popular games, and even some accessories.
The best Black Friday deals on Nintendo Switch
One of the best shopping deals is Best Buy’s bundle that includes a Nintendo Switch (non-OLED) with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as a full game download, plus three months of Switch Online membership for just $300. Normally the Switch doesn’t come with a game, and it certainly doesn’t come with three months of free online. Mario Kart alone costs $50 on sale, so you’re saving at least that with the bundle plus $8 for the online membership.
- Nintendo Switch with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and 3 Months of Nintendo Switch Online —
$300, worth $358
- Nintendo Switch OLED with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and 3 months of Nintendo Switch Online —
$350, worth $418

How we picked these Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals
We started looking at our reviews – what we liked and what we didn’t. Then we go out and find the best deals on those items, so we purposefully curate instead of filling the list with products that are just discounted. We think a smaller, more specific list is better than a list with a thousand products.
We also include things we haven’t reviewed where it makes sense, doing our research to make sure it’s a quality product. We look at reviews from subject matter experts and from the shopping platforms themselves and compare the product to the alternatives. If we think it’s all checked out, it makes the cut.
Once we’re confident we’ve found all the best Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals, we’ve listed them from cheapest to most expensive. We recommend scrolling down to the product at the higher end of your budget, and rest assured that we think this is the best value you’ll get at this price point.
Of course, we also use price and history comparison tools, as well as our own first-party data, to make sure you’re getting a good deal. This is something you can do while shopping on your own too, using tools like CamelCamelCamel, which shows you historical prices for items on Amazon.

Should you shop these deals or wait for Cyber Monday?
Shop now! This is our advice.
There’s no guarantee that the best Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals we see today will be available tomorrow, let alone Cyber Monday, and it’s even less likely that those items will be cheaper then. The same deals we see on Black Friday are usually held over the weekend during the Cyber Monday deals event.
In the unlikely event that the item you purchased today is cheaper on Cyber Monday, you can always purchase it again and cancel or return the original order. Better to bag something than miss out on what could be the bargain of the year. Time is not on our side when it comes to Black Friday deals.
But that’s what we’re here for: we help you find the best deals. If we’ve included anything on this list, we don’t think it’s going to drop any more in price between now and Cyber Monday—and if it does, it won’t be by anything significant (a few bucks at most), so it’s still a significant savings , which are not to be dropped.
