The Nintendo Switch is still one of the most popular consoles on the market in no small part because of the wide array of games it offers. Games like Splatoon 2 and Paper Mario are offered up alongside more "adult" games like Control and Wolfenstein. Of course, the real success of the console is the first-party Nintendo games that can't be played on any other console and that's why they make such a good present for the Holidays, especially if the gamer already has the Switch at home.

If there is a drawback to shopping for Nintendo Switch games for the holidays, it's that these games rarely go on sale. Even games like the aforementioned Splatoon 2 tend to stay selling for $59.99 even for years after their official release. The good news there is they usually aren't hard to find; it's just a matter of finding a copy that doesn't cost such a pretty penny.

While Nintendo games rarely go on sale, it appears there's going to be a bit of reprieve for those who are looking for the perfect title to go alongside the new Nintendo Switch OLED. Just ahead of its Black Friday sale going live, Nintendo has announced a swath of games that will have their prices reduced by $20 for the biggest shopping season of the year. Splatoon 2 being included in those games means that smart shoppers can grab it for $39.99 at all participating retailers when the limited-time sale goes live on November 21 (see details in the official announcement below).

That means that between November 21 to November 27, shoppers can grab Splatoon 2 for $39.99 at Walmart, Best Buy, and Target as well as some other big retailers. As is always the case, anyone who wants to get one of the most popular Switch games ever will need to check with their favorite store to make sure they're participating in this offer.

It's also important to note that this is likely going to be the best deal around during the Black Friday period supply shortages and the popularity of Splatoon 2 could mean it will be hard to find once this sale kicks off. For those who are wanting to pull the trigger on their holiday shopping a bit earlier, Amazon currently offers the best deal as of this writing.
