In the US, Best Buy and Walmart have just started their big seasonal sale events while those in the UK can find some fantastic opportunities to save at both Argos and Currys.
I've already seen some of the strongest Nintendo Switch deals of the year up for grabs, particularly this killer value Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle for just $299.99 at Best Buy in the US and this Nintendo Switch Sports Bundle for £249.99 at Argos in the UK.

As TechRadar's Hardware Writer, I am on the frontlines of our deal-finding efforts fighting to make sure that you make an informed purchasing decision while saving as much cash as possible. I've been a Nintendo Switch owner for almost seven years and have covered previous sales events. I'm also in charge of all our Nintendo Switch buying guides. This all means that I know exactly what makes for that perfect Nintendo Switch discount.
I would highly recommend keeping links to a few retailers in your bookmarks bar so that you can quickly check if any good deals are live as we get closer to the big day.
Plenty of popular retailers offer their own Black Friday deals, but here are the best ones to watch depending on your location:
US
Amazon: flash deals on bundles and games
Best Buy: discounts on games and accessories
Walmart: excellent Switch bundles
GameStop: offers on games, accessories and more
UK
Amazon: Switch bundles with many different games
Argos: significantly reduced games
Currys: a wide range of different console bundles
Nintendo Store: regularly includes freebies with bundles
Very: a variety of bundles with top games
Those in the UK also have a fantastic Nintendo Switch OLED bundle at their fingertips. This newly released package offers a Nintendo Switch OLED (in white), a digital copy of the superb Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and 12 months of Nintendo Switch Online. As in the US, the game and membership come at no additional cost.
This is my personal favorite bundle of the year so far, as Super Mario Bros. Wonder is an absolute treat and, in my opinion, a much better showcase of the hardware than Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's comfortably one of the best Super Mario games that I've ever played and a must-have for any potential Nintendo Switch owner.
Nintendo Switch OLED Super Mario Bros. Wonder Bundle: £299 at Currys
Here's one of those bundles that I just mentioned and it happens to be possibly the best Nintendo Switch OLED deal in the US right now. In the box, you get a Nintendo Switch OLED console in its clean white colorway, a download copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a 12 month Nintendo Switch Online membership.
Best of all, this bundle costs the same as just the Nintendo Switch OLED on its own - effectively giving you the game and membership for free.
Nintendo Switch OLED: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle: $349.99 at Best Buy
Wondering what kind of deals to expect this Black Friday?
Rather than any particularly massive discounts on individual consoles themselves, I would expect the best value Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals to be console bundles. Nintendo often releases a couple at this time of year and we’re already seeing them on sale in both the US and UK.
These bundles allow you to pick up the console and get a top game like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Super Mario Bros. Wonder at no additional cost, plus a few months of Nintendo Switch online membership which is great if you want to play with friends. These are fantastic value and make for excellent gifts, too.
Of course, there will still be a wide range of savings on Nintendo Switch games, accessories, and controllers. I'm already seeing discounts on headphones, cases, SD cards, and more, making this a great time for existing owners to upgrade their setups.
Hello gamers! Welcome to the first day of my Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals coverage extravaganza. I’ve been locked in a dimly-lit room in the TechRadar Gaming HQ, forced to comb through the endless stream of sales to find the very best savings for you. Throughout the sales event, I’m going to be listing some of the top deals as they come in. With everything from unbeatable value console bundles to my own personal picks and must-have accessories, there’s more than likely going to be something worth your time.
I have been a dedicated Nintendo Switch player since day one, owning the console since its launch period back in 2017. I, alongside the wider team at TechRadar, have tested a huge range of Nintendo Switch games, controllers, headsets, storage devices, and more to work out which are the absolute cream of the crop. I’ll be making sure that all of the products recommended here have either scored highly in our reviews or come personally endorsed by me.
