Nintendo Black Friday Game Discounts: Switch 2 Bundles and Sales Set to Start Nov. 19

Nintendo has announced its Black Friday offers for the holiday season, with discounts on Nintendo Switch 2 bundles and selected games. An early sale on the Nintendo eShop and the Nintendo Store website starts Nov. 19 and runs through Dec. 2, while the main retail promotions begin Nov. 22.

Bundle and game offers in the US

The headline offer is the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle, which includes a Nintendo Switch 2 system, a full download of Mario Kart World and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership. Nintendo lists it at $499.99, a saving of $50 off the suggested retail price. This bundle runs from Nov. 22 to Dec. 5, or while supplies last.

A second bundle, the Nintendo Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Bundle, is priced at $529.99, which Nintendo says is $27.98 below the suggested retail price. Its offer details are also listed on Nintendo's site.

From Nov. 22 to Nov. 29, select Switch 2 titles such as Donkey Kong Bananza and Switch titles such as Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 are listed at $20 off. Nintendo says the physical versions of several games, including Super Mario Party Jamboree and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, will carry the same discount at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Walmart and Nintendo's own US stores, while supplies last.

Early deals ahead of the main sale

Outside Nintendo's official schedule, the retailer Woot has listed a new Switch 2 for $469, which is $30 below the usual $499 price. Mashable reported that the deal runs through Nov. 30 or until stock sells out. Mashable also noted that the console has rarely been discounted, and that Amazon and Best Buy were still listing it at $499 at the time of its report.

9to5Google described the Woot price as the lowest the console has been since Nintendo announced price increases in May, and said supplies were limited. The two reports agree on the $469 price but differ on the timing: 9to5Google described the sale as running for a single night, while Mashable said it would last until Nov. 30. Buyers should check the current Woot listing before ordering.

What to expect next

Nintendo says its promotions are available while supplies last, and some offers depend on participating retailers. Its New York and San Francisco stores will also carry the holiday deals, along with festive displays and limited gifts with purchase. Nintendo has not announced any further discounts beyond the dates listed, so shoppers should confirm prices at the point of purchase.

In short, the Switch 2 bundle deals and game discounts run from Nov. 19 to Dec. 5, with the earliest discounts coming from the eShop sale and third-party sellers.
