The Nintendo Black Friday sale is bringing major savings for shoppers planning to buy a Nintendo Switch 2, new games, digital downloads and holiday gifts. Nintendo announced its 2026 holiday promotions on November 12, with offers rolling out across several dates and continuing while supplies last.
Powerful Nintendo Black Friday Sale Bundle Arrives November 22
The headline promotion is the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle. From November 22 through December 5, shoppers can purchase the package for a suggested retail price of $499.99. Nintendo says that represents a $50 saving compared with the bundle’s regular suggested retail price.
The package includes a Nintendo Switch 2 system, a full digital download of Mario Kart World and a three-month, or 90-day, Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership. The bundle will be available through participating retailers and the Nintendo Store website, while supplies last.
Nintendo is also promoting a second hardware package: the Nintendo Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Bundle. Priced at $529.99, it includes the console, a full download of Nintendo Switch Sports Resort and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership. Nintendo lists the savings for this bundle at $27.98 off its suggested retail price.
Surprising $20 Game Discounts Lead Black Friday Offers
Starting November 22, selected physical games for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch will be discounted by $20. The offer runs through November 29, creating a shorter window for shoppers seeking popular first-party releases at a lower price.
- Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
- Donkey Kong Bananza
- Kirby Air Riders
- Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2
- Super Mario Party Jamboree for Nintendo Switch
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for Nintendo Switch
The physical-game discounts are expected at major retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target and Walmart. The promotions will also be available at Nintendo New York and Nintendo San Francisco. Availability and participation may differ by retailer, so shoppers should check store listings before making a purchase.
Digital Deals Give Shoppers an Earlier Start
Fans who prefer downloads will not have to wait until Black Friday. A sale on selected digital games begins November 19 and runs through December 2 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. The offers will appear through Nintendo eShop, the Nintendo Store website and the Nintendo Store app.
Nintendo has not listed every digital discount in the announcement, meaning the final selection could vary by platform and region. Players looking for holiday gifts or games to enjoy immediately may want to browse the digital promotion early, as select deals will remain available only while supplies last.
Festive Shopping and New Nintendo Switch 2 Games
The Nintendo Black Friday sale is part of a wider holiday shopping campaign featuring seasonal displays, gift guides and Nintendo-themed merchandise. Nintendo New York and Nintendo San Francisco will offer games, hardware, apparel, collectibles and exclusive products inspired by characters such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Pikmin and Splatoon.
For a limited time, the two Nintendo stores will also feature festive shopping bags and a gift with purchase when shoppers meet the required minimum spend. These extras are available while supplies last.
Nintendo is also highlighting recently released and upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 games, including Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, Splatoon Raiders and Pokémon Pokopia Bundle. Metroid Ravenous is also available for preorder.
Additional holiday shopping options include Nintendo’s gift guide and a wish-list feature designed to help families organize potential presents. Both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch also include parental controls that allow adults to manage the content children can access.
What the Nintendo Black Friday Sale Means for Shoppers
With console bundles, major first-party games and digital promotions spread across multiple dates, Nintendo’s campaign gives shoppers several ways to save. The best value may depend on timing: digital buyers can start browsing November 19, while customers seeking the $50 Mario Kart World bundle or discounted physical games must wait until November 22.
Because the offers are limited and available while supplies last, popular bundles and games could attract strong demand during the holiday period. Shoppers should compare availability, confirm the promotion dates and check whether their preferred retailer is participating before checkout.
