Black Friday is just around the corner, which means that players should now expect tons of deals on games, consoles, video game accessories, and more. While most retailers still haven't revealed their complete Black Friday offerings this year, some, like Amazon, are already holding early promotions such as Amazon's Buy 3 for the Price of 2.
Last week, Nintendo also revealed its Black Friday offerings for 2021, which is exciting given that first-party Nintendo games rarely go on sale. One of the biggest games that will be discounted on Black Friday is Fire Emblem: Three Houses, which is the latest mainline entry in the franchise released in 2019.
According to Nintendo, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, alongside other first-party Nintendo games such as Paper Mario: The Origami King, will be available for $39.99 or 33% off its original price of $59.99. It is worth noting that Nintendo's Black Friday deals aren't live yet at the time of writing. However, the company did confirm that its deals would become available on all participating retailers between November 21 and November 27. For the uninitiated, Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a tactical role-playing RPG featuring turn-based combat, a defining franchise feature. However, Three Houses also feature new elements such as social simulation and time management mechanics.

Players who couldn't wait until November 21 would be happy to know that some retailers are already offering discounts on Fire Emblem: Three Houses, but not as cheap as what Nintendo announced. At Walmart, Best Buy, and Target, players can snag a copy of Fire Emblem: Three Houses for $49.94 or 15% off. But, of course, given that Nintendo's Black Friday deals are only a few weeks away, it is best for players to wait to get the best price possible.
Apart from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Nintendo also offers other first-party games such as Xenoblade Chronicles, Splatoon 2, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and more. There will also be a Switch bundle available for $299.99, including the original console, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a three-month Switch Online membership. Although it is expected that Black Friday 2021 will offer better deals than last year, some retailers are prioritizing online sales to prevent crowds from forming in stores. There may be supply shortages on stocks of the Nintendo Switch, especially for the newly released Switch OLED, as a result of the pandemic.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is available now exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
