Nintendo black Friday game discounts are coming to shoppers in the United States, with savings planned across Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch games, hardware bundles, and digital titles. Nintendo announced its holiday promotions on November 12, outlining several offers scheduled to begin later this month.
The headline deal is the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle, which will be available from November 22 through December 5 for a suggested retail price of $499.99. Nintendo says the promotion represents a $50 saving compared with the bundle’s regular suggested retail price.
Nintendo Black Friday Game Discounts Bring Major Savings
The bundle 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. The offer will be available while supplies last through participating retailers and the Nintendo Store website.
For shoppers interested in additional hardware options, Nintendo is also promoting a Nintendo Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Bundle. Priced at $529.99, the package includes the console, a full download of Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online individual membership. Nintendo lists the value of that promotion as a $27.98 saving.
Powerful $20 Game Discounts Arrive November 22
Several popular games will receive $20 discounts beginning November 22 and running through November 29. The offers apply to select physical Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch games, with availability dependent on stock at participating retailers.
- Donkey Kong Bananza
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
- Kirby Air Riders
- Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV
- Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2
- Super Mario Party Jamboree for Nintendo Switch
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for Nintendo Switch
The list gives Nintendo fans a broad selection, from colorful multiplayer experiences to major adventure and action releases. The inclusion of both current-generation and original Nintendo Switch versions also gives shoppers more flexibility depending on which console they own.
Digital Deals Launch Before Black Friday
Nintendo is starting its digital holiday sale earlier than the main physical game promotion. Discounts on select digital games will begin November 19 and continue through December 2 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.
The digital offers will be available through Nintendo eShop, the Nintendo Store website, and the Nintendo Store app. Nintendo has not listed every discounted digital game in the announcement, so shoppers will need to check the sale when it begins for the complete lineup and final prices.
This earlier start could appeal to players who want immediate access to new games without waiting for shipping or visiting a store. It also gives families an opportunity to purchase downloadable gifts before the busiest part of the holiday shopping season.
Exclusive Nintendo Switch 2 Games Add Holiday Appeal
Nintendo is also highlighting several recent and upcoming games for Nintendo Switch 2. These include 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 the Pokémon Pokopia Bundle.
Players can also pre-order the upcoming Metroid Ravenous game. Nintendo says the system remains compatible with physical and digital Nintendo Switch games, although some titles may not be fully supported or compatible with Nintendo Switch 2.
Beyond games and consoles, Nintendo’s New York and San Francisco stores will offer seasonal decorations, holiday gift guides, exclusive merchandise, collectibles, apparel, and special shopping bags. A limited-time gift with purchase will also be available with a minimum spend while supplies last.
What Shoppers Should Know Before Buying
All promotions are subject to availability, and Nintendo notes that actual savings may vary by retailer. The Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle promotion is scheduled for November 22 through December 5, while the physical game discounts are limited to November 22 through November 29.
With digital deals arriving November 19, shoppers should compare offers across Nintendo eShop, major retailers, and Nintendo’s own stores. The combination of hardware bundles, discounted games, and holiday merchandise could make this one of Nintendo’s biggest seasonal shopping events of the year.
