LIVE: I'm on a Nintendo Switch deals hunt – bundles and games are winning so far

We've got years of experience seeking out the best Black Friday Switch deals, and these are the only ones we'd get right now.

Here comes our 2025 Nintendo Switch Black Friday blog! While we expect most deals this year to be on games and accessories, we have already been surprised that the UK is offering up some Nintendo Switch 2 bundles, like this pretty decent deal from Very, which includes the Switch 2 console, Mario Kart+Donkey Kong Bananza reduced from £484 to £439. It's not a price crash situation, but given the last few sales events have been slim pickings for Switch, it's not as bad as it seems.

It's possible we'll start seeing some OLED price drops though, and there are already reductions on imports – like this Nintendo Switch OLED (import) offer, which is reduced from $389 to $329 at Walmart. Don't worry about it being imported, they still work the same – you'll just need a plug adaptor.

It's a great time to stock up on accessories and games. In fact, we've already compiled a list of game deals – check out the Black Friday offers we found on games – there has been up to 50% off at Amazon. We also have a regular guide to Switch 2 prices.

You're in good hands on this blog, we've been doing this for a very, very long time and we've seen it all. We've got some real Switch enthusiasts bringing their experience to the sales event, recommending products they've had their hands on. And we've got an encyclopaedic knowledge of prices so you won't make a misstep.

There haven't been many deals on the Switch 2 at all, so £10 is measly, but not as measly as it sounds. If you're buying one, this is a nice bonus discount.

Another lowest-ever bundle is the Switch 2 console plus just Mario Kart (if you can take or leave Donkey Kong from my previous post). Argos is now offering that for £399.99 (was £429). So, with the magical £400 barrier breached, is this a sign of things to come today? Let's hope.

Do you have a cats-and-all-cutesy-stuff-mad child in your house? Is that kid slowly driving you insane with endless rewatches of Gabby's Dollhouse? Did you recently have to suffer through the warlike experience of taking said child to the movies to watch Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie?

While you may not be entitled to compensation, you can now get Gabby's Dollhouse: Ready To Party for the Nintendo Switch for the low low price of £22.99 (was £34.99). Y'know, to get them to stop laying waste to your Netflix algorithm for a bit, and instead hijack your gaming console.

What's winning out as well right now, on Black Friday Eve, is bundles. And the early MVP for me is this UK deal on a Switch 2 bundled with Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World at Very, slashing the full price from £484 down to £439. That's £45 off, for you maths fans out there.

These are two (count'em, TWO) arcadey games that are fun to play with the family (or your friends if you hate your family) plus an entire new-gen console, for under £450. Me likey.

Hi, this is Erlingur, I'll be taking over the Nintendo live blog for the next couple of hours. I am entirely unsurprised to see limited discounts on consoles so far, but there are some interesting games getting some interesting price slashes.

I'm a huge sports games fan, and I was thrilled (and more than a little tempted) when I saw that the latest Madden NFL, which has been out for all of 38 seconds (or a couple months, who's really counting), is a mahoosive 57% off, down to $29.99 from its sticker price of $69.99.

Even if you don't watch the NFL regularly, the Madden games are really entertaining and surprisingly easy to get into. And at this price? Affordable too. Result.
