Nintendo Black Friday deals are set to give holiday shoppers more ways to save on Nintendo Switch 2 systems, popular games and digital downloads. Nintendo announced its 2026 holiday promotions on Nov. 12, highlighting a major bundle discount, reduced game prices and seasonal offers for families and longtime fans.
The promotions will roll out in stages. Digital discounts begin Nov. 19, while the main Black Friday offers launch Nov. 22. Nintendo said the promotions will remain available while supplies last, making early shopping particularly important for customers looking for hardware bundles and physical game copies.
Breaking Nintendo Black Friday Deals Include a $50 Switch 2 Saving
The headline offer is the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle, which will be available for $499.99 from Nov. 22 through Dec. 5. That price represents a $50 saving compared with the manufacturer’s suggested retail price before the promotion.
The package includes a Nintendo Switch 2 system, a full digital download of Mario Kart World and a three-month, or 90-day, individual Nintendo Switch Online membership. For shoppers already considering Nintendo’s latest console, the bundle combines hardware, a major first-party game and online access in one holiday package.
Nintendo also listed a second system package for holiday shoppers. The Nintendo Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Bundle will sell for $529.99 and includes the console, a full download of Nintendo Switch Sports Resort and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online membership. Nintendo described this offer as a $27.98 saving from the combined suggested retail price.
Powerful $20 Discounts Arrive for Switch Games
From Nov. 22 through Nov. 29, selected physical Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch games will be discounted by $20. The offers will be available at participating retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target and Walmart, as well as Nintendo’s New York and San Francisco stores.
The discounted lineup includes several major releases and updated editions:
- Donkey Kong Bananza for Nintendo Switch 2

- Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2
- Super Mario Party Jamboree for Nintendo Switch

These discounts give shoppers a chance to expand their game libraries alongside a new console or pick up gifts from some of Nintendo’s strongest franchises. Availability may vary by retailer, and Nintendo emphasized that the offers are limited to remaining stock.
Digital Deals and Festive Shopping Extras
A separate sale on selected digital games will run from Nov. 19 through Dec. 2 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. The discounts will appear through Nintendo eShop, the Nintendo Store website and the Nintendo Store app. Nintendo did not provide a complete list of digital prices in its announcement, so shoppers will need to check the stores once the sale begins.
The company is also preparing its retail locations for the holiday season. Nintendo New York and Nintendo San Francisco will feature festive window displays, seasonal decorations, holiday gift guides and special shopping bags. For a limited time, shoppers may also receive a gift with purchase when meeting a minimum spending requirement, though supplies will be limited.
Holiday merchandise will include collectibles, apparel and character-inspired products connected to Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Pikmin and Splatoon. Nintendo’s official gift guide is also aimed at shoppers seeking presents for children, families and fans of its major game worlds.
What Shoppers Should Know Before Black Friday
The Mario Kart World bundle offer starts Nov. 22 and ends Dec. 5, while the $20 game discounts run only through Nov. 29. Digital offers begin earlier, on Nov. 19, and end Dec. 2. These different windows mean shoppers should compare dates carefully before waiting for a preferred deal.
Nintendo Switch 2 owners can also explore newer releases such as Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave and Splatoon Raiders. However, Nintendo reminded customers that some Nintendo Switch games may not be fully supported or compatible with Nintendo Switch 2.
