Best Nintendo Switch Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals still live
Nintendo Switch OLED with ‘Super Mario Bros. Wonder’ and a 12-month Switch Online membership: Was £309.99, now £289.99, Argos.co.uk
Nintendo has just released a Nintendo Switch OLED bundle deal, which includes a free copy of Super Mario Bros. Wonder and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online membership. If you buy the bundle from Amazon, you’ll get an additional £20 sliced off the console’s asking price, plus the game and membership thrown in for free. Bargain. This really is the best deal I’ve ever seen on the Nintendo Switch OLED.
Nintendo Switch neon red/neon blue with Nintendo Switch Sports and 12-month Switch Online membership: Was £324.99, now £249, Amazon.co.uk
If you don’t need the larger or more vibrant OLED display, then this bundle deal on the OG Nintendo Switch will serve you well. It comes with Nintendo Switch Sports, a leg-strap accessory and a 12-month Switch Online membership thrown in for free. If you buy the bundle from Amazon, the retailer knocks off a further £10 off the console, saving you a total of £76.
Turtle Beach Recon 50: Was £19.99, now £14.99, Amazon.co.uk
The Turtle Beach Recon 50 is the entry-level option from this renowned gaming brand, which also happens to be behind the best gaming headset we’ve tested, the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro (was £279.99, now £249.69, Amazon.co.uk). “If you don’t want to spend too much on a gaming headset but don’t want any old cheap tat, pick up the Turtle Beach Recon 50,” I said in my review. The headset is great quality for the price, has a boom mic for multiplayer chat, and matches the Switch in its red and blue colourway.
Nintendo Switch Lite: Timmy & Tommy’s edition with ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ and 12-month Switch Online membership: Was £199.99, now £189.99, Amazon.co.uk
The Switch Lite is the spiritual successor to the Nintendo DS. With a smaller screen, the Switch Lite can only be played in handheld mode. This bundle gets you a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and a 12-month Switch Online membership thrown in for free, saving you a huge £85 on the game and the membership. It’s still available right now in its turquoise iteration, with a cutesy Animal Crossing theme.
Nintendo Switch Lite, yellow: Was £200, now £188, Amazon.co.uk
Featuring a smaller 5.5in display and up to seven hours of battery life, this is the console you should be eyeing up if you just want a gaming device that doubles up as a travel companion. You can’t dock this device or play it on the TV, but it is cheaper than the original Nintendo Switch and the OLED model. Something to note about this discount is that, technically, Amazon isn’t logging it as a deal – but it should be. Its RRP across the web is £200 on average, and I haven’t seen the lite this cheap since July 2023. Consider me swayed.
Nintendo Switch Minecraft: Was £24.99, now £19.99, Very.co.uk
Minecraft is a tried and true classic of the gaming world, and deservedly so. Now, you can enjoy the geometric world-building game on your Nintendo Switch, plus get 20 per cent off thanks to Very’s Black Friday sale. Let your creativity run wild, from building your own castle to battling mobs of zombies with your friends, the possibilities are endless.
‘Super Mario Odyssey’ Nintendo Switch: Was £49.99, now £37.99, Very.co.uk
One of my favourite Nintendo Switch games is currently more than 20 per cent off at Very thanks to the retailer’s Black Friday sale. In my review of the best Nintendo Switch games, I named Super Mario Odyssey one of the best to sink your teeth into due to its stunning visuals and unique twists. “It just narrowly misses out on the top spot for best Nintendo Switch game but only marginally. This really is one of the best Mario games out there,” I said.
‘The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’, Nintendo Switch: Was £59.99, now £45.99, Very.co.uk
My favourite Nintendo Switch game has just received a price cut for the first time ever. “Familiar but new, Tears of the Kingdom is breathtaking in its scope, engaging in its narrative, and the limitless freedom to explore meant we never wanted to put down the controller,” I wrote in my review. “You can craft weapons out of anything, splice objects together to build planes, sear fruits to your shield to dazzle enemies and explore for hours and hours on end.”
SanDisk MicroSDXC card for Nintendo Switch, 128GB: Was £34.99, now £11.49, Amazon.co.uk
This licensed memory card is specially designed for the Nintendo console system and instantly adds up to an extra 128GB of additional space, while also boosting transfer rates up to 100MB, to help load games faster. It also has a neat little mushroom design, just so you know it’s a Nintendo SD card.
PDP Nintendo Switch deluxe travel case - power pose Mario: Was £14.99, now £10, Argos.co.uk
One of the big perks of the Nintendo Switch is that you can play it on the go, but you don’t want to just chuck it in your bag and risk it being bashed about. Instead, pop it in a travel case like this one to protect your precious cargo between plays. The case also has an inner pocket where you can stash a few game cartridges to keep things fresh on your travels, and a massive great picture of Mario on the front, because, you know, Nintendo.
Just Dance 2025 edition, Nintendo Switch: Was £42.99, now £23.99, Argos.co.uk
It’s the game you know and love and, ahead of the New Year, it’s had a pop and rock upgrade. That’s right, the game’s 2025 edition will include recent hits like Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso and Jack Harlow’s Lovin’ on me and, thanks to Argos’ Black Friday sale, it’s currently reduced by 45 per cent just one month after its release. Though I haven’t managed to get my hands on the game’s latest edition just yet, gaming expert Jack did take a whack at its 2015 iteration, noting how everything it entails ensures that “it really is quite hard to not have a good time.”
How long will Nintendo Switch deals last?
Black Friday falls the day after Thanksgiving in the US, meaning this year the mammoth sale kicked off on Friday 29 November. Lasting four days, the deals were set to end on Cyber Monday (2 December 2024), but, many are still live today.
Cyber Monday falls on Monday 2 December this year. The main difference between the two sales is that Cyber Monday – as the name suggests – historically only takes place online, while Black Friday sees deals both online and in-store. This isn’t a hard and fast rule, however, as plenty of brands have continued their in-store sales into the following week.
So, if you’re looking to get a deal on something you really want or that might sell out, it’s wise to snatch the offer up as soon as you can because discounted products will likely go out of stock fast.
