Nintendo has unveiled its exciting Black Friday deals, bringing with it two fantastic surprises: a $75 discount on both the Nintendo Switch OLED and the standard Nintendo Switch holiday bundles at Target and Best Buy. Each bundle comes with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a 12-month membership to Switch Online. You can snag the Switch OLED Mario Kart bundle for just $275, while the regular Switch Mario Kart package is priced at $225.
These bundles are part of Best Buy’s new Doorbuster deals, and Target offers the discount automatically when you add the bundle to your cart.
Black Friday Nintendo Switch Console Bundle Deals
- Nintendo Switch + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + 1-Year Switch Online — $225 ($300)
- Nintendo Switch OLED + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + 1-Year Switch Online — $275 ($350)
Save $20 on Switch Controllers:
- Switch Pro Controller — $50 ($70)
- Neon Red And Blue Joy-Cons — $60 ($80)
It’s rare to see such generous deals on Nintendo Switch consoles without $80 in freebies, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at $60 and a $20 Switch Online membership. These Black Friday offers are the best we’ve seen in terms of discounts for Switch consoles from major retailers, so we anticipate they might sell out quickly.
With these savings, consider grabbing a discounted game or extra controller. The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and Neon Red/Blue Joy-Con Controller Set are at their lowest prices ever, with discounts of $20 each. This reduces the Pro Controller to $50 and the Joy-Con pair to $60.
Highlights from the Black Friday Switch game sale include Super Mario Odyssey for just $30, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom available at $40, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons also priced at $40.
Nintendo Switch Black Friday Game Deals
As for the bundles, one of the standout options is the Nintendo Switch OLED package. It’s available with white Joy-Cons and a matching dock, plus a 12-Month Switch Online membership and a voucher to redeem Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Nintendo eShop. If you were to buy these items separately, you’d be forking out $350 for the console, $60 for Mario Kart, and $20 for Switch Online. However, you’re also getting an additional $75 discount with this bundle.
The OLED model comes with a superior, larger screen, improved speakers, and increased storage space (64GB). Its built-in kickstand has also been vastly improved for tabletop gaming. This incredible bundle is available at both Target and Best Buy, and it’s uncertain if other retailers will match this offer.
The base model Switch at $225 is a steal even without extras. However, it includes a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe voucher and a 12-Month Nintendo Switch Online membership, making it an undeniably great bargain.
It comes equipped with a pair of Neon Red and Blue Joy-Con Controllers, Joy-Con Grip, wrist straps, a docking station, HDMI cable, and AC adapter. If you prefer handheld gaming, the OLED’s enhanced screen might justify the extra $50. For those who usually play on a TV and leave the console docked, the regular Switch is the way to go. This deal is found at Target and Best Buy, with other retailers’ plans as yet unknown.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains the best-selling game on Switch, especially bolstered by previous bundles. Debuting on the Wii U before being ported to the Switch, it has continuously expanded with DLC tracks. If you’re gifting this bundle, consider the $25 Booster Course Pass, adding 48 new tracks and doubling the game’s content.
The 12-month Switch Online subscription adds value by enabling online multiplayer, cloud saves, and access to a growing library of NES, SNES, and Game Boy titles. Although a Switch successor is anticipated next year, the current console will see a lineup of exciting new games in the remainder of 2024 and beyond.
For those eyeing the portable-only Nintendo Switch Lite, a new Hyrule Edition launched alongside The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on September 26. Priced at $210, this Zelda-themed Switch Lite doesn’t include the game but offers a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, unlocking even more classic Nintendo games.
