Nintendo just detailed information on various Black Friday promotionsall of which air on November 24th and end on November 30th. These include some pretty steep discounts on first-party Switch titles, which rarely happen. The deals will be available at retailers like Best Buy, GameSpot, Target, and Walmart, though it doesn’t look like the Nintendo eShop will be hosting these sales.
Maybe the Black Friday crown jewels are $20 off The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The game is normally $70, so that brings the price down to $50. The game it’s an absolute blast and based on all the good things presented first Breath of the Wild. But this time, new abilities allow you to find more unique solutions to puzzles.
It also applies to sales prolonged pregnancy Pikmin 4 and great creator Super Mario Maker 2. Both will sell for $40. Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Belle of the ball of the COVID erawill also cost $40. It goes for the same Nintendo Switch Sports and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
Super Mario Odyssey, still the latest 3D platformer in the franchise, will drop down to just $30. The same price will apply to the remake collection Pikmin 1 + 2. Joy-Con controllers, bags and other accessories will also be on sale.
There will even be a deal on the actual Switch console bundle. The Nintendo Switch Lite: Hyrule Edition will cost $210, but it comes with some serious perks. This bundle ships with a gold colored console and a full year of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. It provides access to all kinds of retro games from NES to N64.
There is a caveat here. Nintendo Switch is not long for this world, because a sequel is inevitable. Adults may want to wait for the new console, but the Switch Lite is still a great gift for a kid. However, no one has any idea what Trump’s promised tariffs will do to prop up prices, so maybe the Switch Lite will cost $600 next year. Who else knows.
Check out all the latest Black Friday and Cyber Monday is busy here.
