Nintendo’s Black Friday Deals Are Actually Pretty Good.
Black Friday is just around the corner. From now until Cyber Monday, retailers and companies are offering discounts on their products. While I always keep an eye on Nintendo deals from stores like Amazon and Best Buy, it looks like the company is offering its own discounts this year —and surprisingly, they’re quite substantial.
Nintendo Black Friday Deals
On Thursday, Nintendo announced its Black Friday deals. We’ve already seen Switch 2 sales ahead of Black Friday, but now Nintendo has confirmed an official discount on the console. From November 22nd to December 5th, you can get the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle for $499.99, a $50 discount from $549.99. The bundle includes the console, a download of Mario Kart World , and a 90-day Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
If you already own a Switch 2 console and/or Mario Kart World , you won’t be left out of Black Friday deals. From November 22nd to 29th, Nintendo is also running discounts on a number of popular Switch and Switch 2 games. As part of this promotion, the following games are each priced at $39.99:
-
Donkey Kong Bananza
-
Kirby Air Riders
-
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
-
Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2
-
Super Mario Party: Jamboree
Nintendo rarely offers official discounts on some of its most popular games, especially in these times. Games like Donkey Kong Bananza start at $69.99, so you can save up to $30 with this week-long promotion. Nintendo also announced a sale on its digital storefront that will run from November 19th to December 2nd, though it didn’t specify which games would be discounted. Just keep an eye on these dates: the Switch 2 console promotion will last longer than the physical and digital game discounts, and the digital sale will last longer than the physical sale.
Nintendo says these discounts will be available at “select retailers,” as well as its brick-and-mortar stores in New York and San Francisco. You can also purchase a Switch 2 bundle on Nintendo’s website.
