Welcome to our Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals live blog. At this time of year, we start to expect good savings on Nintendo's ever-popular games consoles, games and accessories, and we'll be tracking them all right here.

Kicking off our Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals live blog is a UK deal from Currys. So far, all the Switch discounts we've seen have been quite modest, and this is no exception. There's £20 off the Nintendo Switch OLED Neon with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe & SanDisk 256 GB memory card, taking it down to £349. This might not seem like much, but, as mentioned above, Switch consoles hold their value, and so any discount is worth snapping up if its on the device you want.
If you're looking for the original Switch, Very in the UK has good stock levels and some decent bundle deals on offer right now. One of the most popular is this one, which combines a Nintendo Switch console with the super-popular Animal Crossing game for £296.
The cheapest we could find Animal Crossing to buy separately was £37, added to the retail price of a Switch, and the total comes to exactly £296. So while this doesn't represent a saving, it offers both products at their lowest price possible, and it removes the hassle of trying to find, and purchase them both separately. It's also the cheapest you'll find this particular Switch combination on the web right now.
We couldn't do a Switch live blog without featuring this all-new limited edition Pokemon-themed OLED console – £319 at Argos. Released on the 4 November, the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Edition console features art inspired by the upcoming game of the same name. Famous Pokemon Koraidon and Miraidon feature on the front, and a design inspired by the series' iconic Poke Ball is featured on the back.
This edition is only a tenner more expensive than the bog-standard OLED console, which will be a small price to pay for any super Pokemon fans. Note: this price is for the console only, no games are included.
Any minute now, Amazon will be officially starting its Black Friday deals in the UK, and if there are any Nintendo Switch deals in there, you'll be sure to hear about it here. The most exciting Black Friday Nintendo Switch deal we've seen so far in the UK is this Nintendo Switch OLED bundle at Currys for £429 £399.
So Amazon's first official Black Friday deals are live in the UK, and there's good news for those holding out for a Switch OLED. There's a Nintendo Switch OLED + LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Classic Character Edition bundle for £359.98 £335.57, a saving of £30.
Here's another option for anyone still up in the UK and looking for a deal on the newest Switch console. Amazon also has a Nintendo Switch Black Friday deal on the Switch OLED edition + Pokémon Scarlet including an Adventure Pack digital bonus for £359.98 £332.98. It's a slightly smaller saving than the bundle we mentioned below, giving you £27 off.
