Black Friday is here, and Nintendo Switch fans are in for a treat! Amazing deals pop up everywhere, with discounts of up to 50% on games, accessories, and lots more.
First off, there’s a popular Switch 2 Mario Kart 8 bundle. You can save $30 compared to buying items separately. This bundle makes it a great time to kickstart your game collection!
Looking for accessories? Joy-Con controllers are priced at $71.99 at Woot. Plus, the Samsung P9 512GB microSD Express card is only $74.99. It’s the best way to increase your Switch’s storage.
Game lovers will be excited to see big discounts on titles like Super Mario Odyssey, now just $30. Even the much-anticipated “Tears of the Kingdom” is down to $38, with an upgrade option for the Switch 2 for just $10 more.
You can find all these deals on the Nintendo eShop and other retailers like Amazon and Best Buy.
Are There Discounts on the Switch 2 Console?
Despite the demand, the Switch 2 console itself isn’t on sale this Black Friday. However, bundles like the Mario Kart offer are the best way to save if you’re looking for the console.
The Mario Kart bundle not only gets you the console but also the game, all while being in stock. It’s a popular choice for holiday gifts, so grab it while you can!
Game Discounts Worth Noting
Among the best game deals is Super Mario Odyssey. It ranks fourth on IGN’s “Top 100 Nintendo Games of All Time.” You can also snag titles like Paper Mario and Splatoon 3 for only $29.99 each.
Walmart’s Black Friday sale even offers some titles, like Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Donkey Kong Country, for just $30. That’s a steal!
Additionally, there are fantastic deals on third-party titles too. “Star Wars Outlaws” is $30, and “Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds” has a whopping 50% discount, bringing it down to $30.
Accessory Deals That Impress
For those setting up their new Switch or upgrading, it’s a perfect time to grab some accessories. The pair of Switch 2 Joy-Cons can be found for about $72 after discounts.
MicroSD Express cards are also in the spotlight, with the 512GB version priced at just $74.99, perfect for expanding your game library. If that’s still above your budget, keep an eye out for Cyber Monday for better deals on 256GB cards.
Comparing Last Year’s Deals
Looking back, the deals this year offer a mix of excitement and disappointment. There are some great savings on controllers and games, but not much for the console itself, which many were hoping for.
Last year, “Tears of the Kingdom” was priced at $29.99. With a new upgrade path for this year’s Switch 2, more consumers are expected to pay full price for these new favorites.
In conclusion, while Black Friday is full of enticing game deals and accessory discounts, it falls short of what some may have hoped for in console savings. Let’s hope for even better bargains as we look ahead to next year!
