When people talk about the console wars, they are usually talking about Xbox One (X) vs. PS4 (Pro) (Sony vs. Microsoft). The Nintendo Switch seldom gets a mention and yet it’s the most popular current-gen console in Japan and North America.
The fact of the matter seems to be that no one takes the Nintendo switch seriously or its gamers. But here at GameGavel, we do. That’s why we’ve created this guide. It’s for anyone who wants a taste the magic of the Nintendo Switch or its games but couldn’t afford to do so sooner.
In this guide, we’ll discuss how you can save on the Nintendo Switch and its accessories and games during Black Friday.
Black Friday Nintendo Switch Deals
In this guide, we’ll cover which retailers are hosting the best Nintendo Switch deals on Black Friday. For those of you who cannot wait for Black Friday, we have included a list of the most current pre-Black Friday Nintendo Deals. The guide then ends with a few tips and tricks to make hunting for the best Nintendo Switch specials a lot easier for you.
Best Places to Get Nintendo Switch Deals
Amazon
The best part about shopping at Amazon is it gives you access to a myriad of bundle deals and rebates. You can be assured that they will ramp these up and fortify their servers during Black Friday and the holiday shopping experience.
So what can we expect from Amazon? The best way to gauge this is by looking at Amazon’s Nintendo Black Friday Deals from last year. For instance, they had the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition Nintendo Switch on sale for $299.99, reduced from $359.99.
Nintendo Joy-Con (L/R) – Neon Pink / Neon Green – $59.99 (Save $20)
This Black Friday, Nintendo Joy-Con (L/R) – Neon Pink/Neon Green is on a 25% discount, down from $79.99 to $59.99.
Razer Kraken Tournament Edition THX 7.1 – $54.99 (Save $45.00)
Switching over to Switch-related gear, let’s take a look at a headset from Razer. The Kraken (Tournament Edition) is available for 45% less than usual to Black Friday.
APEX Game Keyboard and Mouse – $67.98 (Save $72.01)
Down from $139.99, this awesome keyboard and mouse console combo is on a whopping 51%Â Black Friday discount.
Walmart
If you don’t like shopping online, you have a multitude of Walmart’s chain stores to shop from. Like many other multi-national retail chain stores, they have their own web store too. However, you may benefit from shopping at one of their brick-and-mortar stores because they tend to have special store-only Black Friday deals.
They also had the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe version of the Nintendo Switch on sale for $299.99. It’s currently priced at $424.95.
Target
Another great place that will be hosting both online and in-store deals during Black Friday is Target. One reason players may be afraid to switch to the Nintendo Switch is that they’re afraid they’ll miss out on title like the Fortnite. You can’t blame them, it’s considered as one of the best Battle Royale Games on any system.
To ease players’ worries Nintendo released the Switch Fortnite Double Helix Bundle, which was on sale for $299.99 from Target – reduced from the price of $329.
Best Buy
Usually, on Black Friday, Best Buy has the most competitive pricing for electronics. So if you’re hunting for Nintendo Switch deals, this should be one of the first places you start your search from. They have brick-and-mortar stores with in-store promotions as well as an online store.
Last year, they cut up to 40% off the listed prices on all Nintendo Switch accessories.
Google Shopping
Google Shopping went through quite a few name changes before it settled on the name Google Shopping. Previously it was known as Google Shopping Express, then just Google Express. Not only does the service allow you to compare prices from online and offline stores but also it gives you access to over 2000 of Google’s partner stores.
During last year’s Black Friday, they had the Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Red Joy‑Con and PokĂ©mon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! Bundle on sale for $287.99, reduced from its regular price of $359.99.
Current Pre-Black Friday Nintendo Deals
Many retailers will be unleashing some of their door-buster deals a little early to drive traffic and have an edge on the competition during Black Friday computer/tech sales. In this section, we’ll talk about the best current pre-black Friday Deals and a few upcoming ones.
Nintendo Switch with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Console Bundle
Shoppers who missed this Black Friday bundle deal last year can still get it for $299.99 at BestBuy. It comes with a neon blue and red controller.
Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons
The Nintendo Switch offers some of the best multiplayer experiences of any console. That’s why it’s important to have an extra set of Joy-Cons lying around. Amazon is selling the Nintendo Joy-Cons for $66.99, reduced from $79.99.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Rated as one of the best modern RPGs of all time, Breath of the Wild isn’t just a game, it’s an experience. For gamers who previously could not afford to purchase it, now is your chance. Walmart will be selling the game for $30, reduced from $43.94. This pre-Black Friday Nintendo deal begins on the 27th of November.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition
This entry will not go on sale until Black Friday but we thought it was still worth mentioning. The Witcher 3 made it on our list of the best RPG games of 2019 and it is not hard to see why. Nintendo gamers found themselves blessed when the Switch port of the complete edition came out in October 2019. It usually sells for $59.99, but gamers will be able to get it for $45 on Black Friday.
Nintendo Black Friday Deals Tips
In this section, we cover the best tips to make your search for the greatest Black Friday Nintendo deals even easier.

Just make sure you look out for unique Black Friday bundle deals where you can get the entire set in one foul sweep.
Use Price Comparison Sites
As we’ve mentioned before, Google shopping can be used to compare prices from a collection of online and offline stores. Other great price comparison sites include CamelCamelCamel.com, Pronto.com, and Shopzilla.com. We suggest you bookmark them and compare Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals when the 29th of November comes around.
Know the Terms and Conditions
Some deals will require you to do something before you can unlock the deal completely. For instance, you may be required to sign up for a service or newsletter. Some deals are online only while others are in-store only.
Before you put the item in the cart, make sure you understand the Ts and Cs.
