Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals: Big savings on physical games plus an unstoppable Mario Kart console bundle

Nintendo’s Black Friday deals for Switch hardware and games are live

Nintendo has given shoppers a heads-up about what to expect from 2021’s Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals, and oh my goodness, they’re doing it again — they’re rolling out the $300 Nintendo Switch and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle that we’ve seen for years.

I’m not complaining, mind you — it’s just a bit funny. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a freaky force of nature that continues to sell super well, and if you’re going to buy a Nintendo Switch for the first time in 2021, you’re probably gonna want Mario Kart to go along with it.

Apart from the pack-in game and the normal Switch console with a dock (not the newest and priciest OLED model), this bundle has a three-month subscription for Nintendo Switch Online (not the new Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack tier). Simple, but effective.

In terms of physical games, Black Friday (or should I say the days surrounding Black Friday) will bring a $20 off discount for select Nintendo Switch titles.

Nintendo will have deals starting November 21 at participating retailers, and there will also be a Nintendo eShop sale on digital games, though the timing isn’t announced yet.
