Nintendo Switch Consoles Hit Record Low Prices for Black Friday

Nintendo is making quite a splash this year, just in time for Black Friday, by offering some significant discounts on its popular Switch consoles. If you’ve been eyeing the regular Switch or the Switch OLED, now’s the time to act. They’re both marked down by $75, bringing their prices down to $224.99 and $274.99, respectively. It’s a limited-time offer, so you’ll want to move quickly. Plus, they’re part of a seasonal bundle that’s packed with $79 worth of extra goodies, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. This membership lets you dive into online multiplayer games, keeps your saved games stored safely in the cloud, gives you access to retro classics, and even includes the Nintendo Music mobile app.

Up until now, steep discounts like these have been rare since both consoles debuted. Sure, there were sporadic deals at certain retailers, but those vanished fast or demanded subscriptions to places like Costco. Historically, instead of slashing prices, Nintendo has sweetened the deal by bundling in games or offering trials to their online service. This time, you get the best of both worlds—a solid price cut and loads of extras. Whether these deals will make a return after Cyber Monday is a bit of a mystery, but with rumors swirling about the Switch 2 possibly launching in early 2025, it wouldn’t be shocking to see prices drop again as that release date approaches.

On top of console discounts, Nintendo has some enticing deals on gaming accessories and titles. You can grab $20 off their fantastic, durable Switch Pro wireless controller and save another $20 on sets of Joy-Con controllers. And don’t miss out on the lowest prices yet for some must-have Switch games. There are simply too many great offers to mention them all here, but you can find the full selection in our comprehensive roundup of the best early Black Friday gaming deals. We’ll keep that list fresh with updates all the way up to Black Friday on November 29.
