Black Friday 2025 is one of the strongest years yet for Nintendo deals. The original Switch, the OLED refresh, and the new Switch 2 all sit alongside a deep library of discounted games and accessories, with first‑party titles dropping to $29.99 or $39.99 and some third‑party releases cut by more than half.
The overview below focuses on current offers that are explicitly called out for the Black Friday and Cyber Deals window, with a mix of hardware bundles, major games and a few storage and controller essentials.

For the newest hardware, the Nintendo Switch 2 itself is not seeing straightforward price cuts, but Nintendo positions the system at a suggested $449.99 or as the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle at $499.99. Savings instead tend to land on the game side and on accessories such as high‑speed microSD Express storage.
Nintendo’s own Black Friday game line‑up
Nintendo’s 2025 holiday program includes an unusually broad slate of first‑party titles discounted in physical form from November 23 at participating retailers such as Nintendo NY, Nintendo San Francisco, big‑box chains and online stores.
| Game | Platform | Black Friday price | Key detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Princess Peach: Showtime! | Switch | $39.99 | Side‑story platformer with multiple Peach “roles” driving different mechanics. |
| The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom | Switch | $39.99 | Zelda‑led, top‑down adventure built around copying and re‑using “Echoes” of objects. |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns HD | Switch | $39.99 | HD reissue of the Wii Donkey Kong platformer with updated visuals. |

Three of those titles — The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Super Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 3 — have free Nintendo Switch 2 updates. On Switch 2 they can take advantage of smoother performance and higher resolutions without a separate upgrade purchase, which makes the $29.99 and $39.99 price points more attractive if you plan to move libraries forward.
Other notable Switch and Switch 2 game discounts

Discounts are often deeper on older Switch originals, with some third‑party games dipping as low as $6–$8 in current sales.
Accessory deals for Switch and Switch 2
Game prices get most of the attention, but storage, controllers and basic accessory kits are also discounted, including Nintendo‑branded and officially licensed hardware that is usually sold at full price.
| Accessory | Platform compatibility | Black Friday price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Switch Accessories Bundle deal | Original Switch only | $55.99 (down from $69.99) | 28‑item kit with dock, steering wheels, case, screen protection and other basics; not compatible with OLED or Lite. |

| Samsung microSD Express Card deal | Switch 2 | $74.99 (down from $99.99) | High‑speed microSD Express storage aimed at handling large Switch 2 game installs and expansions. |
On top of the online offers, Nintendo is promoting $20 off Samsung MicroSD Express Cards at Nintendo SAN FRANCISCO, Nintendo NEW YORK and select retailers from November 30, matching the wider discount and making it easier to expand Switch 2 storage for a growing digital library.
How to decide between Switch and Switch 2 in this sale cycle
With four active hardware form factors — Switch 2, original Switch, Switch OLED and Switch Lite — Black Friday can be confusing. The current patterns are fairly straightforward:
- Switch 2 hardware holds near full price, with value coming from game and accessory discounts, plus free updates for some older titles.
- The original Switch and Switch OLED see modest direct discounts and value‑driven bundles that pair the console with a recent Mario title or starter accessories.
- Game prices cluster at $29.99 and $39.99 for first‑party releases, with Switch 2‑only titles and deluxe editions often landing around $39.99 or $44.99.
If you already own a Switch 2, the most efficient use of this sale window is to stock up on cross‑gen games that include free Switch 2 enhancements (Echoes of Wisdom, Splatoon 3, Super Mario Odyssey) and a handful of native Switch 2 releases such as Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut, NBA 2K26 and Star Wars Outlaws Gold Edition while they sit in the $29.99–$44.99 band. If you are still on an original Switch and planning to wait on new hardware, the console + game OLED bundles and deep cuts on Switch‑only titles like Super Mario Odyssey and Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe deliver the best long‑term value.
Most of these promotions are scheduled to run through the Cyber Deals window that ends December 3, but stock of physical cartridges and special editions tends to be the limiting factor. If there is a specific game or controller on your list at one of the $29.99 or $39.99 price points, Black Friday weekend is the safest time to secure it.
