Black Friday is nearly here, which means major retailers are gearing up for massive holiday shopping discounts. Video game companies will be getting in on the action as well, providing all kinds of discounts for consumers to jump on, and Nintendo is no exception. With Black Friday only a couple of weeks away at this point, Nintendo has pulled the curtain back on what kinds of deals fans can expect this year.
Nintendo is bringing back its usual $299.99 Nintendo Switch holiday bundle, which includes a standard Nintendo Switch console, a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and three months of Nintendo Switch Online. The Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle will be available to purchase from Sunday, November 21 until they're all sold out, so they will likely be available throughout the holiday shopping season for those interested.
Nintendo will also be lowering the price of select Switch games from the usual $60 asking price to $39.99 from November 21 to November 27. Nintendo-published games rarely ever go on sale, so anyone that wants to get these games for a little cheaper should definitely jump on the opportunity to do so. This year, Nintendo Switch gamers can grab The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Super Mario Maker 2, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Splatoon 2, Paper Mario: The Origami King, Kirby Star Allies, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Astral Chain, and Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition for $40 each.
