Here’s good news for Nintendo Switch owners (and prospective owners): Black Friday 2023 is here. And tons of Nintendo Switch games, accessories, and console bundles are on sale, many for all-time low prices. Major game series like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Kirby have already seen price drops of $30 or more — and more discounts are coming online all the time. Also, one of the Nintendo Switch Black Friday console bundles is already available to purchase. Let’s take a look at the deals.
Nintendo Switch Super Smash Bros. OLED Black Friday Bundle
The new Black Friday Switch OLED bundle features a digital download of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. Priced at $349.99 MSRP, it offers approximately $67.98 in savings. We’re predicting this new bundle to be extremely popular, and will likely sell out by Cyber Monday on November 27 — so make your purchase ASAP to avoid disappointment. .
Standard Black Friday Nintendo Switch Console Bundle (Best Deal)
Black Friday comes early for anyone in the market for a Nintendo Switch console, because one of the best Nintendo Switch deals around is available right now. Granted, it’s the same deal Nintendo offers every year around Black Friday, but it’s a good one nevertheless. It gets you a Nintendo Switch console, a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and 3 months of individual Nintendo Switch Online — all for $299.99. That’s the normal price of a Switch on its own, so you’re essentially getting Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and three months of online service for free. That’s a better deal than you’ll find on Switch hardware any other time of the year, so grab it if you want it.

MicroSD Card Black Friday Deals
The Nintendo Switch doesn’t come with all that much onboard storage. If you’re bumping up against the limits of your Switch’s capacity to hold digital games, simply pop in a microSD card to boost its capabilities.
Nintendo eShop Sale is Live
Nintendo is running a big sale of its own on the Nintendo eShop. If you prefer buying your games in digital format, make sure to stock up on digital currency, on sale now for 10% off at Amazon. Do that, and it’s like getting a discount on top of a discount.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is $9.99
While this isn’t a game, it’s certainly Nintendo-related. You can grab a 4K copy of The Super Mario Bros. Movie on sale for under $10. Great deal.

Or you can save 10% while subscribing to Nintendo Switch Online, getting you access to things like cloud saves and NES and SNES classics.
Super Mario Party + Joy-Con Bundle
Nintendo has released a new bundle that gets you some delightful blue and red Joy-Con, plus a digital copy of Super Mario Party for $99.99. That’s a big savings on buying the two items separately. And Mario Party is a great local multiplayer game, so it’s definitely worth picking up if you have friends/family over.
Nintendo Switch Black Friday Accessory
One of the best Switch accessories is the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. Last year, it got a Black Friday sale price of $49.99, which is $20 off its usual price. Somehow, no deal on the Pro Controller, or on Joy-Cons aside from the Smash Bros. bundle above, have gone live. Fingers crossed for a surprise discount on Black Friday.
Another must-have Switch accessory, at least if you download digital games from the eShop, is a microSD card (which also compatible with Steam Deck and ROG Ally). Pop one of these tiny storage devices into your Switch, and you can keep more digital games on the device without having to re-download them when you want to play. You’ll can find deep discounts on microSD cards during Black Friday 2023, making it great time to add 128GB, 512GB, or even 1TB of storage to your Switch.
Nintendo Switch Black Friday Console Deals
Aside from the Switch bundle mentioned above, Nintendo has finally introduced a new Black Friday bundle for Switch. The new Nintendo Switch – OLED Model and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate bundle is now available.
This bundle offer will include a unique Switch OLED model, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (digital download), and three months of Nintendo Switch Online. It will cost $349.99 MSRP, with around $67.98 in savings. This offer marks it as one of the hot items to consider for Switch Black Friday sales (which run November 17-24 this year).
Where to Find Nintendo Deals on Black Friday
We’ll provide plenty of links to all the best Nintendo deals on Black Friday, but here’s where you can expect to find them. In terms of Switch games, you’ll be able to find deals on them at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and the like. If you prefer to download games, you’ll be able to find digital Switch games at most of those retailers as well, plus the Nintendo eShop, which you can access directly from your Switch.
The same goes for Nintendo Switch accessories, including Switch headsets and Switch controllers, which should be discounted widely at the usual retailers.

Nintendo Switch Black Friday Shopping Tips
Many of these tips are applicable no matter what you’re shopping for on Black Friday.
- Set a Budget – It’s safe to say many of us have massive video game backlogs. Just because you see a game you want on sale doesn’t mean you should buy it immediately. Set a budget and stick to it. Only buy the games you think you’ll play soon.
- Make a Wishlist – One of the best ways to keep your Black Friday spending under control is to make a wishlist of games or other items you want to buy, and stick to it. Ignore the deals that aren’t on items you would’ve bought otherwise.
- Compare Prices – Sometimes I’ll bite on a Black Friday deal that looks great (say, Link’s Awakening for $39.99). But then I’ll see the very same item on sale for 25% less at another retailer. Before you click the buy button, check the other popular retailers to see if they match (or beat) the sale price.
- Snag Particularly Good Deals Fast – If you see a hard-to-believe great deal on a Switch game or accessory, grab it sooner rather than later. Retailers only have so much stock, so it’s likely that the best deals will sell out before Black Friday ends. Grab great deals fast.
- Don’t Fret if You Miss Out – If you click on a killer deal and find that it’s sold out, don’t despair. Often times the exact same Black Friday deal will come back in stock on Cyber Monday. And even if not, the next Prime Day will be here before you know it.
