What kind of Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals should I expect?
Rather than any massive discounts on consoles, I would expect a few Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals to be special bundles. These allow you to pick up the console and get a top game like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for free plus a few months of Nintendo Switch online membership. These are fantastic value and make for excellent gifts.
Of course, there will also be a wide range of savings on Nintendo Switch games, accessories, and controllers. This will likely include headphones, cases, video games, and SD cards.
