I used to work at a secondhand game store where my life revolved around gaming, pop culture, energy drinks, and consoles – my favourite being the Nintendo Switch of course. Nothing much has changed, but it's safe to say that I know a thing or two about securing the best deals on gaming tech, and Black Friday has it all.
Rumour has it that a new Nintendo Switch console is on the horizon, which would mean we can anticipate big savings on the current-gen models. I'm delighted to report that these wishes have come true, as the Nintendo Switch OLED has an incredible price cut at Walmart – now just $299 which is the lowest price we've seen (see our live roundup of the best Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday deals for more details).

Nintendo Switch deals in the US
Switch OLED + Super Smash Bros. Ultimate + 3 months online membership: $349 at Walmart
Save over $70: This is an incredible deal considering that the Nintendo Switch OLED usually retails for $349.99 on its own. So with Smash Bros thrown in (which costs $59.99 individually) and three months' worth of Nintendo Online included (worth $12) you're off to a strong start.
Price check: $349.99 at Best Buy | $349.99 at Target
Nintendo Switch + Mario Kart 8 + 3 months online: $370 $269 at Amazon
Save approximately $70: This is another great deal for those looking to get a Nintendo Switch. You get one of the most popular games thrown in for free, plus three months' online subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. Note that on Amazon, the price will only appear once you've signed in and added the product to your cart.
Price check: $399.99 at Nintendo
Nintendo Switch OLED (white): $349.99 $295 at Walmart
Save over $50: If you're just after a console deal without a bundle, then this is a bargain price on the fanciest Nintendo Switch around (for now). It has a vibrant OLED screen and two joy-cons, and just like the standard Switch, you can use it on the TV as well as handheld.
Price comparison: Amazon $343 | Nintendo $349
Nintendo Switch Lite: $199 $197 at Amazon
Save $10: The Switch Lite doesn't usually see many discounts over Black Friday, so in all honesty, this price cut give or take a few dollars is probably as good as we're going to get.
Price check: $259.99 at Nintendo
Nintendo Switch Lite Blue + Paper Mario + 128GB microSD card Bundle: $319 $259.99 at Best Buy
Save on accessories: If you're a Mario fan (and who isn't?), this is a great deal. With the Switch Lite normally retailing at $199, and Paper Mario for around $50, you're basically getting a 128GB microSD card thrown in for free at Walmart. You also get a screen protector and adorable pawprint thumb grips!
Nintendo Switch deals in the UK
Nintendo Switch Sports bundle: £298 £259 at Amazon
Save £38.99: This Nintendo Switch bundles gets you Nintendo Switch Sports and 3 months of Nintendo Switch online membership, saving you around £39. Games include tennis, bowling, football and volleyball. These bundle deals are often the best offers we see over Black Friday, so are worth snapping up.
Price check: £279.99 at Game
Nintendo Switch OLED: £309.99 £279.95 at Amazon
Save £30: There are already some small savings to be had on the Nintendo Switch OLED in the UK, including £30 off the console alone at Amazon. The Nintendo Switch OLED is an improved version of the original Switch console with, naturally, an OLED screen for improved contrast, as well as a bigger storage capacity for games and a kickstand.
Nintendo Switch Lite: £199 $£197 at Amazon
Save £3: We can't leave out the Lite, even if this doesn't really feel like a deal worth reporting on. We're holding out for better deals to come when Black Friday "officially" kicks off tomorrow in the UK, but the Coral console is £3 off at Amazon right now which is something at least.

All you need to know
Is Black Friday a good time to buy a Nintendo Switch?
Black Friday is typically the biggest sales event of the year in the US, and it has spread to many other countries. So does that mean big Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals? Well, that may depend on where you are, and what your expections are. We don't tend to see massive deals on the Nintendo Switch at any time of the year, but what deals do come up tend to be concentrated around Black Friday.
Does Nintendo have Black Friday sales?
The Nintendo online store does sometimes have Black Friday deals in some countries. They're not always named as Black Friday, but it has previously offered discounts that coincide with the sales event. Often, the discounts are on games, but in the past we have also seen bundle deals timed to coincide with Black Friday, particularly in the UK.
How do I know if a deal is good?
It's worth bearing in mind Nintendo's recommend retail price for its three Nintendo Switch consoles to make sure that deal you see really is a deal. Sometimes we see retailers inflating the original price in order to claim that a subsequent reduction is a discount. Third party retailers on Walmart and Amazon are particularly guilty of this, and you sometimes see so-called Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals that are actually more expensive than the recommended retail price.
On this page, we'll only be highlighting genuine Nintendo Switch deals, but it may help you if you remember that the standard selling prices are as follows:
Nintendo Switch: $299.99 / £259.99
Nintendo Switch OLED: $349.99 / £309.99
Nintendo Switch Lite: $199.99 / £199.99
Below you'll find the best deals and lowest prices on the three Nintendo Switch models in your region and worldwide using our clever shopping widget.
