Nintendo\u2019s making a huge splash ahead of Black Friday<\/a> with the first big discounts on Switch consoles. Both the regular model<\/a> and the Switch OLED<\/a> are $75 off for a limited time, selling for $224.99 and $274.99, respectively. These price cuts are in effect for the seasonal bundle that includes $79 worth of extras like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/em> and three months of Nintendo Switch Online service for online multiplayer, cloud saves, access to retro games, plus access to the Nintendo Music mobile app<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Neither console has gotten a serious discount following their respective launches, save for retailer-specific promos that typically sold out in hours, or required subscriptions to Costco. To avoid cutting prices, Nintendo has instead opted to enrich the value of console bundles by include games or trials to its online service, but now we have actual price cuts without losing out on the added goodies. Whether these discounts return after Cyber Monday remains to be seen, though it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see the prices fall as the official unveiling of the Switch 2<\/a> nears in early 2025.<\/p>\n

Nintendo has other fantastic gaming deals on accessories and games including $20 off its stellar, long-lasting Switch Pro wireless controller, $20 off pairs of Joy-Con controllers, and the lowest prices we\u2019ve seen on some of the Switch\u2019s must-play games. There are simply too many good deals to list here, so check them (and many others) out in our roundup of the best early Black Friday gaming deals<\/a>, which will be updated regularly before Black Friday on Nov. 29.<\/p>\n
