Nintendo announces its Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2025 sale: Switch 2 bundles, Switch game deals and more

Nintendo Switch 2 Black Friday Gift Guide

Nintendo gear is always a top holiday gift, and this year is even more significant with the launch of the Switch 2 in the spring. While major discounts on the console for Black Friday are scarce—a typical pattern for Nintendo—there are ways to maximize value.

The marquee holiday offers from Nintendo focus on console bundles.

Console Bundles

The Switch 2 launched with two main purchasing options, both of which are still available:

• Console only: $449
• Console bundled with Mario Kart World: $499

A new bundle has also been added for the holidays:

• Console bundled with the new Pokémon Legends: Z-A: $499

Since the games themselves cost $70 each, choosing a bundle offers a slight saving compared to buying the console and game separately. These bundles are available at major retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.

Game Deals

While deep console discounts are rare, you can find deals on software:

• Digital Deals (Cyber Deals): The Nintendo eShop will host its Cyber Deals starting on November 20 and running through December 3, featuring "holiday offers on select games."
• Physical Game Discounts: Starting on November 23, select retailers will offer discounts on physical copies of various Switch games:
  • $40 Games: Princess Peach: Showtime!, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Luigi’s Mansion 3, and Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe.
  • $30 Games: Super Mario Odyssey, Nintendo Switch Sports, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and Splatoon 3.

Other Nintendo Gifts

Even without steep discounts on the console or new games, there are many gift ideas for the Nintendo fan in your life, including collectibles, clothing, plushies, and holiday decor.
