Nintendo has officially announced its Black Friday deals for the year, and fans of the popular gaming company have a lot to be excited about. While there are no direct cash discounts on Switch hardware, Nintendo is offering a new Switch OLED bundle that comes with a digital copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and a three-month individual Nintendo Switch Online subscription for no additional cost. This bundle is priced at $350 and is available at various retailers, including Walmart, Target, GameStop, Best Buy, and Nintendo’s online store.
The OLED version is Nintendo’s primary Switch bundle for Black Friday 2023, and it offers great value to both new and existing fans. Typically, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate retails for around $50 to $60 and the Switch Online membership goes for $8, so by purchasing this bundle, customers are saving on the cost of the game and subscription. The console itself has been seen sold for less on its own, making this bundle an attractive option for those interested in getting a free game during their purchase.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which was released in 2018, continues to be a popular game among Nintendo fans and holds a cherished spot on the list of the best Switch games. In addition to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate bundle, Nintendo has also discounted a number of its Switch titles. Popular games like Luigi’s Mansion 3, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Mario Strikers: Battle League, and Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes are available at reduced prices, starting as low as $15.
Among these game discounts are The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey, both of which are advertised to be on sale for $40 each, but according to Walmart, they will be available for $30 starting November 22. Those interested in games not published by Nintendo will also find Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope for $15, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 at $40, and Shin Megami Tensei V back at an all-time low of $20. While some newly released games are not part of the sale, there are still plenty of options for customers to choose from.

In addition to game discounts, there is a bundle that includes a red and blue set of Joy-Cons paired with a digital copy of Super Mario Party for $100. Given that the controllers usually retail for $80, this bundle effectively brings the cost of the game down to $20, making it an appealing deal for those interested in the game as well as the controllers.
For customers who are not interested in purchasing the Switch OLED, Nintendo is still offering holiday bundles for the standard Switch and the Switch Lite. While the systems themselves are not discounted, the Switch is available with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the Switch Lite comes with Animal Crossing: New Horizons at various retailers. Both these games have been around for some time, but they continue to be popular choices among fans.
However, it is worth noting that the Switch may be nearing the end of its life cycle, as reports suggest that Nintendo may be releasing a new version of the console in 2024. Therefore, for those who are not in a hurry to catch up on Switch games, it may be wise to wait for more details about the potential new console.
Despite possible new releases in the future, the Switch console continues to have a strong library of games, making these Black Friday deals an attractive offer for both new and existing fans. With a lineup of discounted games and attractive bundles, Nintendo fans have even more reason to celebrate the holiday season.
