Nintendo has rolled out its official Black Friday deals, and they come with some delightful surprises: a hefty $75 off on both the Nintendo Switch OLED and regular Nintendo Switch holiday bundles, available at Target and Best Buy. Each bundle is an absolute steal, as they both include Mario Kart 8 Deluxe plus a year-long Nintendo Switch Online membership. You can snag the Switch OLED Mario Kart bundle for just $275, while the regular Switch Mario Kart bundle is down to $225.
### Black Friday Nintendo Switch Console Bundle Deals
These bundles are part of the latest Doorbuster deals at Best Buy, and you’ll see that sweet $75 discount pop up at Target once you add the deal to your cart.
– Nintendo Switch + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + 1-Year Switch Online — $225 (originally $300)
– Nintendo Switch OLED + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + 1-Year Switch Online — $275 (originally $350)
### Save $20 on Switch Controllers:
– Switch Pro Controller — $50 (originally $70)
– Neon Red And Blue Joy-Cons — $60 (originally $80)
Historically, major retailers haven’t offered direct discounts on Nintendo Switch consoles that bundle in $80 worth of freebies—Mario Kart 8 Deluxe typically goes for $60, and Switch Online is $20—making these Black Friday offers the most compelling Switch deals we’ve ever seen. It’s likely these will fly off the shelves, so you might want to act fast.
With the money you save on the console, consider picking up a deeply discounted game or an extra controller. Not only do you have these exceptional console deals, but the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and the Neon Red/Blue Joy-Con set are also seeing their biggest price drops yet—$20 off each, bringing the Pro Controller to $50 and the Joy-Cons to $60.
There’s more from the Black Friday sale with some stellar Switch-exclusive games. You can pick up Super Mario Odyssey for just $30, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for $40, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, also at $40.
### Nintendo Switch Black Friday Game Deals
Diving into more details, the Nintendo Switch OLED Mario Kart bundle sports a sleek console with white Joy-Cons and a matching docking station, alongside a 12-Month membership to Switch Online and a voucher for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe from the Nintendo eShop. When you do the math, this bundle gives you $80 of extra content compared to buying each item separately at $350 for the console, $60 for Mario Kart, and $20 for Switch Online. And now, add a $75 discount to the mix.
The OLED version boasts a vibrant larger screen and several quality-of-life improvements over the base model, including a wider dock featuring an ethernet port, superior speakers, and double the internal storage at 64GB. Plus, the upgraded built-in kickstand works wonders for tabletop gaming.
This discounted Switch OLED holiday bundle is accessible at both Target and Best Buy, but whether other retailers will offer similar deals is still up in the air.
On the other hand, the base model Switch at $225 is a fantastic get, even if it came without extras. It includes a voucher for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a 12-Month Nintendo Switch Online membership, adding to its value.
Bundled with the classic Neon Red and Blue Joy-Con Controllers, a Joy-Con Grip and wrist straps, a docking station, HDMI cable, and AC adapter, this bundle offers real bang for your buck. If you’re someone who enjoys playing in handheld mode, the OLED’s superior screen makes the extra $50 worth it. For those who keep their Switch in the dock to play on TV, the regular version might suit you just fine.
Like the OLED deal, this discounted bundle is also available at Target and Best Buy, with no word yet on whether other stores will match the offer.
The included Mario Kart 8 Deluxe download is a crowd-pleaser—it’s the top-selling Switch game historically, thanks in part to its inclusion in some prior console bundles. Initially launched on the Wii U and later adapted for the Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has grown over the years with new DLC tracks. If you’re buying this as a gift, consider the $25 Booster Course Pass, which adds 48 additional tracks to the game, effectively doubling its size.
A 12-month Switch Online subscription vastly enhances your gaming experience by unlocking online multiplayer, cloud-based game save storage, and an ever-expanding library of NES, SNES, and Game Boy titles. Though a successor to the Switch might be announced next year, you’ve got plenty of promising games slated for the current system well into 2024 and beyond.
For those keen on a more portable experience, the Nintendo Switch Lite comes in a new Hyrule Edition, launched alongside The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on September 26, priced at $210. While it doesn’t include the game, it does come with a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, opening the door to even more retro gaming options.
