When it comes to games, my top pick is Super Mario Odyssey right now, which ranked fourth on IGN’s “Top 100 Nintendo Games of All Time”, for just 30 bucks.

There’s also Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Remake, Splatoon 3, and more down to $29.99, alongside Luigi Mansion 3, Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD at $39.99.

Several third-party games are also discounted as part of the sale, including Star Wars Outlaws (including all its DLC) for $39.99 on Switch 2, $20 off its original list price.

Final Fantasy’s 1-6 Pixel Collection is also down to $39.99. That’s $35 off, and the lowest price ever on the game. There are also several other big Black Friday discounts on Switch games like the Dragon Quest HD-2D Remakes, Just Dance 2026, and more.

There’s also a whole bunch of great amiibo deals that are absolutely worth your attention.

Amazon has dropped Tears of the Kingdom amiibo, Riju and Sidon to $9.99, while Best Buy has matched that price on Tulin and Yunobo. Street Fighter amiibo are also discounted, sitting at $14.99 at Best Buy.

However, not all deals are yet live, and fans should keep an eye out for more discounts over the coming days as well.

There’s also Nintendo’s Cyber Monday offerings to consider, from Nov. 30 – Dec. 1, including a $20 discount on more Switch 2 microSD Express cards.

If the Samsung P9 microSD card deal is still a little too steep for you, you’re better off waiting until Cyber Monday to secure a discount on the 256GB memory cards instead.

Dropping from $59.99 to $39.99, this will certainly catch the attention of Switch 2 owners, especially since microSD Express cards are the only option for expanding their console’s internal storage.

This is a great deal, but I’d personally still opt for the $74.99, 512GB option, as that’s definitely the best deal for Switch 2 owners right now.

You can find all of Nintendo’s Black Friday deals at the digital Nintendo eShop, as well as at participating retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart.

But, notably absent from the sale are the Switch consoles. For most of the original Switch’s life cycle, Nintendo would offer the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Switch bundle during its Black Friday sale.

But this year, it’s nowhere to be seen. With the Switch 2 now regularly available, the infamous bundle offering appears to have been retired, at least for now.

Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle

That said, while Nintendo isn’t offering any console discounts, you can still easily find the standard-priced Nintendo Switch 2 bundles in stock at all retailers.

They’re slightly discounted compared to buying the console and game separately: Mario Kart World’s bundle saving you $30, and the Pokémon bundle saving you $20.

Unfortunetly, there also aren’t any official discounts on Nintendo’s first-party Switch 2 games like Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Pokémon Legends Z-A. But, we’re still on the look out for any surprise discounts in the meantime.

How Do These Deals Compare to Last Year?

In all honesty, this year’s deals are a mixed bag. $30 for a Switch game like Super Mario Odyssey is a genuinely strong offer, but some other standout Switch or Switch 2 titles aren’t seeing similar discounts. It’s the kind of deal that makes you sit up and take notice, but it’s also the exception rather than the rule.

Take The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Last year, the original Switch version fell to just $29.99, which was a huge saving and a no-brainer for anyone who hadn’t picked it up yet. This year, there’s a Switch 2 edition, which changes the dynamic completely.

Nintendo hasn’t discounted it, and at $70, it’s a tough sell unless you’re set on upgrading. The lesson is clear: the game is still desirable, but Nintendo isn’t willing to undercut its new hardware launch.

That’s the broader picture this year. With Switch 2 now on the market, Nintendo is holding firm, offering few bargains unless absolutely necessary. That goes for consoles, the biggest new games, and pretty much everything else. Deals exist, but they’re selective, and if you’re hunting for the same kind of price drops we saw last year, you’re going to be disappointed in some areas.

More Black Friday Deals

Nintendo wasn’t the first to kick off its Black Friday sale, as PlayStation started things off a few days ago, discounting plenty of games and dropping the price of its PS5 consoles by at least $100.

Amazon and Best Buy have already long started their official Black Friday sales, both of which will carry on all the way through to Cyber Monday on December 1.

Walmart is already featuring deals from both PlayStation and Nintendo’s sales, but its official discounts don’t start until November 25, or November 24 for those with a Walmart+ membership.
