[GameSpot] - Best Black Friday Switch Deals: Console Bundle, First-Party Games, Accessories, And More

[343iBot]

Black Friday always offers the best opportunity to stock up on gaming products at steep discounts. And if you're a Nintendo Switch user (or are eyeing a console this holiday), Black Friday tends to be even more noteworthy. Nintendo games and accessories don't receive the same year-round discounts that we regularly see for PlayStation and Xbox. Now's your chance to stock up on a bunch of Switch games for less. Also, if you're looking for a Nintendo Switch bundle, Nintendo has brought back its familiar holiday bundle. We've rounded up the best Black Friday deals for Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo Switch Black Friday console deals

As always, you can't count on outright discounts on the Nintendo Switch by itself, but there is a chance we'll see retailer-specific bundles. In previous years, we've seen Switch and Switch Lite bundles that include additional games and/or accessories and collectibles. That said, we don't expect to see any Switch OLED deals. However, we'll likely see it in stock at major retailers throughout the week.

While we've seen more deals on Switch games than we've seen in previous Nintendo console generations, first-party Switch games still tend to hold their retail price far longer than games on PlayStation and Xbox. Often times, $50 (10 bucks off) is a great deal for popular Switch games, but a few times a year we see even steeper discounts, including on Black Friday. There are plenty of great Nintendo Switch game deals right now, including some of the best prices we've ever seen on first-party games such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Link's Awakening, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, and more.
