Don't be fooled into thinking that it'll be easy to find a Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals just because much of the gaming world will have turned its attention to the new PS5 and Xbox Series X launches, though. We still expect both the regular Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite to sell out on a regular basis right through Black Friday and Christmas.
Why? With so many people spending much more time at home than originally planned in 2020, the Switch has surged again in popularity. For most of the pandemic, it has actually been sold out completely. Recent weeks have seen stock making a comeback, however, so we're optimistic about some Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals. The popular Nintendo consoles rarely get a price-drop themselves, but we are expecting Nintendo Switch bundles with extra games or accessories to get discounts.
The reductions are starting earlier than usual this year at many stores rather than bottlenecking on November 27 (the official Black Friday date), so keep your eyes on this page as we're updating it regularly to bring you the latest deals on consoles, games, Switch memory cards, extra controllers, headsets, and any of the other best Nintendo Switch accessories.

Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals - consoles
Looking for a console offer in the Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals? We'd suggest looking for the 'standard' model. Because it can be used on the TV or in handheld mode, it provides maximum flexibility. That means you can seamlessly swap from a Mario Kart tournament on the big screen to a solo session of Breath of the Wild on the sofa.
To get a wider range of discounts, be sure to check in with the best Nintendo Switch bundles.

There's currently a very special, unique Animal Crossing console available at Amazon and Best Buy. It's a real beauty, and perfect for fans of the laid-back franchise. Although it doesn't include the game, it's still a bargain for a limited edition. We've also seen this price at Amazon, although stock has been in and out.
© Provided by GamesRadarUSA: Nintendo Switch | $299.99 at Amazon Nintendo Switch stock has started making a modest comeback over the last few weeks after being sold out for most of the pandemic. We wouldn't get complacent though, especially if you're thinking of picking one up for Christmas as we expect them to start selling out again soon. BestBuy had stock recently too, although it seemed to be sold out when we checked today. It's worth you double-checking though as we expect more soon.

Considering how scarce Nintendo Switch bundle stock has been of late, this is a great deal on the rare Nintendo Switch Fortnite Edition. It comes with a unique design on the dock, but more importantly, a pair of blue/yellow Joy-Cons that really make this one stand out. Fortnite is of course already free, but you do get some premium DLC extras like the Wildcat Outfits, Sleek Strike Back Blings and 2000 V-Bucks.
Nintendo Switch Lite Black Friday deals
The Nintendo Switch Lite is much cheaper than the regular Nintendo Switch, and that's because it can't be used on the TV and must be played in handheld mode only (there are no detachable controllers either). However, it does still play all the same games. What's more, the smaller 5.5-inch screen is just as good and features the same touchscreen interactivity. Basically, the Switch Lite is great if you're just buying for yourself, a child, or as a second console if you already have a regular Switch. It's also perfect if you prefer to game in handheld mode away from the TV.
Although it's already very competitively priced, we're expecting some modest price cuts and maybe even some discounted Nintendo Switch Lite bundles if we're lucky. Check out today's prices below.

Extra storage space would be one of our first recommendations for any new Switch owner as you only get 32GB of on-board storage which soon disappears.

You're getting the same memory card in this deal and you can also choose between Gray, Turquoise, or Yellow consoles at Amazon.

Given how most stores are charging over the normal price for a Switch Lite right now, this is one of the only decent bundles around. But hey, it is for the biggest game of the year so far on the Switch, so count us in! Available in turquoise or gray.
© Provided by TechRadarUK: Nintendo Switch Lite | Super Mario 3D All-Stars | £229 at Currys Saving £15 on this brand new game is excellent value given how darn long it takes for Nintendo's first-party games to come down in price. It's a fab trilogy to play through on your new Switch Lite, with Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy included. You've got the full selection of console colours to choose from too in Grey,Turquoise, Yellow and Pink.

Want the latest Pokemon to go with your new Switch? Very has you covered with this Shield Version bundle. It's certainly cheaper than buying both items separately! The console bundle is also available in Grey or Turquoise.
Mario Kart Live deals
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit has been a big hit since releasing recently and has been selling out at most stores in the US, with UK availability being a bit better. It should only cost $99.99/£99.99 for the home circuit with either a Mario or Luigi kart included, but prices have gone up at some stores. There's a price comparison chart below with the latest prices. If they've gone up past the usual price, we'd hold out for regular stock to return rather than pay over the odds. We wouldn't hold out for any major discounts on the MSRP though before Christmas, so if it's on your list, bag one while you can.
Nintendo Switch Black Friday game deals
First-party Nintendo games are notorious for holding their value long after launch, just ask anyone trying to find a cheap price on Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Black Friday is the most likely time of year to see a deal on a Mario title or Animal Crossing though. We expect plenty of third-party games from other publishers to get some big price-cuts too and we'll be updating this list on a regular basis with our latest findings. Want more right now? Check out our guide to the best cheap Nintendo Switch game sales happening right now.

Even after all this time, Breath of the Wild is still the best game on Switch. Everyone on the planet should play it. It revolutionized Zelda as we know it, and it outdid virtually every other open-world game not by making the biggest world ever, but by making a perfectly sized world that's overflowing with creativity.

Fittingly, Super Mario Odyssey is to 3D Mario games what Breath of the Wild is to Zelda. It's a bold step forward for the series that preserves what makes these games so special. Super Mario Odyssey is easily the best 3D Mario game ever made, and it's a shoo-in for top five Switch games.

The latest Mario Kart is comfortably one of the best in years, and it's perfect for the Holiday season - especially if you're stuck at home. Besides racing tournaments, you can also set up battles to duke it out to see who's the best driver. A must-have game for any Nintendo Switch owner.
Nintendo Black Friday Price
Black Friday Nintendo Switch controller deals
It's always a good idea to grab extra controllers just in case you want to play multiplayer games over the Holiday season and beyond. The Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals offer the perfect chance to get them for less.
You've got three choices: the standard Joy-Cons you got with the standard console in the first place, the Pro Controller for a more traditional experience, or cheaper third-party alternatives if you want to save cash. We've got the latest offers on all of these below, and you can find more bargains in our guide to cheap Nintendo Switch controller deals.
Joy-Cons
You get two Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons in the box with the console, so you might not immediately need to buy any more. There are lots of fun four-player party games on the Switch though and you might find you need to pick up an extra pair and the Black Friday shopping season sometimes gives these official Joy-Cons a bit of a price drop. Check out the latest prices below.
Pro Controller
The Nintendo Switch Pro controller is ultimately the best Nintendo Switch controller to use for most 'traditional' games on the console, especially something long-term like Zelda: Breath of the Wild or an RPG. It's damn good, damn popular, and officially made by Nintendo, which is all rather damning news for any hope of a decent discount for most of the year. We'll keep our eyes peeled though and the price comparison widget below is always scanning for reduced Pro controller prices.
Third-party alternatives
Looking for something a bit cheaper or with a wider range of colors to choose from? We think the PowerA Enhanced Wireless controller is the best third-party option. It lacks vibration or NFC (for Amiibos) features but it has a decent build quality, extra mappable buttons on the back (the official Pro doesn't), and motion-controls too. The wireless models are powered by two AA batteries.
