Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals 2024: everything you need to prepare for the sales event

Nintendo Switch (Neon) + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + 3 Months Switch Online: $299 at Walmart
Some new incarnation of this great value Nintendo bundle appears almost every year around the Black Friday period, suggesting its huge popularity. It includes the Switch console, a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a 3-month Switch Online membership.

Nintendo Switch OLED + Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Bundle: $349 at Walmart
This Super Smash Bros. Ultimate themed bundle was introduced this year and we expect it to be a big hit. It packs a Nintendo Switch OLED, limited-edition gray Joy-con controllers, three months of Nintendo Switch Online Membership and, of course, a copy of the latest Smash Bros. game.

Nintendo Switch OLED model: was $349.99 now $334 at Walmart
It's no secret that the latest Nintendo hardware hardly ever receives significant discounts so we suspect that this small saving is going to be one of the best offers this year. While we do think bundles are the way to go, this is a great way to save if you just want to get your hands on the console.

Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con: was $299.99 now $295 at Walmart
If you want to get your hands on a no-thrills Nintendo Switch console, Walmart currently has the system for almost $5 below its RRP. Though it's a nice little savings, we'd also advise shopping open box for further savings.

Nintendo Switch Lite: $199 at Best Buy
We don't expect many Black Friday Nintendo Switch Lite deals this year. We'll update this list the moment any become available but, for now, you can save on the console by trading in another system at Best Buy.

Super Mario Odyssey: was $59.99 now $49.99 at Walmart
Save $20 - I'm a big fan of Mario's latest big 3D outing, Super Mario Odyssey, which is comfortably still one of the Nintendo Switch's best exclusive games. Although it originally came out back in 2017, this discount is a great opportunity for anyone who hasn't gotten around to playing it yet to pick up the game for less. Charming platforming fun awaits.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: was $59.99 now $41.99 at Walmart
This is a great discount on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (which reached $29 on Amazon last December). It's a fantastic price point for one of the best RPGs of the year and well worth picking up.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope Cosmic Edition: was $39.99 now $14.99 at Best Buy
It's Mario with a gun, what more could you want? An excellent tactical shooter in the vein of XCOM 2, this is a turn-based take on Mario with the amusing Rabbids from the Rayman series thrown in. This "Cosmic Edition" also includes a download code for some bonus digital content, grabbing you a slice of extra value.

Sonic Frontiers: was $59.99 now $29.99 at Best Buy
It's not the most recent Sonic game anymore, but, this is still a great price for fans of the blue blur. In our review, we gave the game four and a half stars, calling it "a bold new direction." You're unlikely to see many discounts quite so steep on the more recent Sonic Superstars, either, making Frontiers a perfect way to save while still getting your Sonic fix.

Sonic Superstars: was $59.99 now $34.99 at Target
Although this price cut is not quite as much as you will save picking up the older Sonic Frontiers, this is still a fantastic discount on the most recent Sonic title. We loved it in our review, where we praised the title's excellent sense of "physics and momentum" alongside "fun, unique gimmicks."

Persona 5 Royal: was $59.99 now $24.99 at Best Buy
After years of being exclusive to other platforms, this hugely popular anime RPG has finally made its way to Nintendo Switch. With hundreds of hours of story, social simulation, and combat to experience, this is a great bargain on a comprehensive RPG package. This price point is also well below the previous record low of $29 at Amazon.

Assassin's Creed The Ezio Collection: was $39.99 now $14.99 at Best Buy
With the recent success of Assassin's Creed Mirage, now is the perfect time to explore the stealth series' roots. This collection packs three great games and all of their DLC content together in one place for a massively reduced price. At $25 off, the value for money here is staggering.

PowerA Enhanced Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch - Ancient Archer: was $27.99 now $13.99 at Amazon
If you're going to be picking up plenty of games this Black Friday, it might be worth investing in a new controller in advance. This wired pad from PowerA is a great choice and comes in a range of designs. We particularly like this Legend of Zelda-themed variant, which is currently at its lowest price ever.

SanDisk 400GB microSDXC card: was $69.99 now $48 at Amazon
It's not the highest capacity available, but 400GB is more than enough to no longer have to worry about running out of space when downloading Nintendo Switch games - at least for a little while! Although it's not the lowest price we've seen this Black Friday, this Nintendo Switch-compatible SanDisk card is still on a discount.

SanDisk 1TB microSDXC card: was $109.99 now $69.99 at Walmart
This huge 1TB capacity micro SD card is the ultimate Nintendo Switch storage solution. With fast speeds and plenty of space, you won't have to worry about an upgrade any time soon. This price is also significantly lower than the $133.85 price point the storage card reached on sale on Amazon last Black Friday.

PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch: was $59.99 now $41.99 at Amazon
PowerA's wireless Nintendo Switch controller is a fine choice for if the official Pro Controller is a bit out of your price range. It's got great battery life, and a few neat extras like back paddle buttons and a program button for custom mapping. There are plenty of colors to choose from, but this Legend of Zelda edition currently has the biggest discount.

HyperX Cloud Alpha wired gaming headset: was $99.99 now $49.99 at Amazon

Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 MAX Wireless: was $119.99 now $59.99 at Target
We rarely see high-quality wireless gaming headsets for the Nintendo Switch selling for under $100. Now you can finally go wireless for an even lower price. What's more, this Target-exclusive midnight red colorway is cheaper than the black on offer at the likes of Amazon. This Turtle Beach headset is also compatible with Xbox, PS5, PS4, and PC, too, so is perfect if you own other platforms.

Nintendo Switch OLED + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle: was $309,99 now £299 at Amazon
