If you want that elusive Nintendo Switch then the time is now. Nintendo has already had some great offers on the Switch in the early Black Friday deals and we have been keeping track of all the best around so you don’t have to.
Animal Crossing: New Horizon (AKA one of the biggest game success stories of the year), Mario Kart Live and Ring Fit Adventure flew out of stock faster than you could say “get me a vaccine now”. Thankfully, the stock has returned (for the most part) and it could not be better timed as that means more deals on Black Friday.
These Nintendo Switch deals do tend to vanish quickly, so in short – be sure to snap a Nintendo Switch up when you see a bundle or console you like as you may just miss out if you hesitate.
If you need a little helping hand knowing what to buy (we’re looking at you, parents!) keep an eye out for Animal Crossing: New Horizons or the new Mario game which has been reduced by £4 at Amazon. Also for you parents out there, that game includes Mario 64 if you want to revisit your childhood – age dependent, of course.
Just Dance 2021 is also on sale for 32% less if the thought of dancing away your Christmas appeals – it’s not like we’ll able to go clubbing so this will do for now. Also, directly with Nintendo, you can also get 25% off memory cards with any Switch console or game and the official SanDisk Nintendo Switch memory card is just £39.99 at Amazon (save £38 or 49%) – perfect for some extra space which fills up extremely quickly on the Switch.
We’re updating this page with the latest Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals regularly over the entire Black Friday weekend, so keep us bookmarked so you don’t miss a bargain.
If you’re looking for the best Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals right now these are the bundles and games to look out for – but move fast.

One clever way to make savings on new consoles is to invest in bundle deals which include the main device along with various games for a discounted overall price.

Will Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals be in stock?
Nintendo Switch has been in and out of stock this year, it’s been somewhat of a rollercoaster throughout the pandemic. Despite the demand, it seems supply has finally settled down with Nintendo Switch bundles cropping up on Prime Day, which is a good sign. The only caveat to that is as soon as they appeared in stock they were swiftly whisked off to someone’s basket – so our advice? Move fast.
We’re seeing Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals with slightly better discounts than we saw on Prime Day, which was a little underwhelming with price drops. That said, Amazon’s bundles still sold quickly on the day. With a new device potentially on the cards for next year, we may well see some impressive deals and bundles on offer over the weekend.
We know with more sales online now that competition will be fierce so changing prices should reflect that. Currys, Amazon and Very are all good places to keep an eye on.
We’ve also now seen Ring Fit Adventure back in stock. The item and game would barely come into stock before it sold out so keep an eye out for deals.
Should I buy a Nintendo Switch now if it’s in stock?
The US has had more stock issues with the Nintendo Switch than the UK, so if you’re across the pond then you may want to snap up stock when you see it. In the UK demand seems to have evened out a bit meaning more stock so there’s not as much of a mad rush to buy the console when it pops up. However, the Nintendo Switch didn’t see huge discounts in 2019, so if you see a good deal – buy it then and there.
Amazon has extended its returns until 31st January made between 1st October and 31st December so you can always change your mind while making sure you snap up a console when you see a good deal.
Just remember, on Black Friday more games and items get thrown into bundles so, in the long run, you save a bit more by waiting. Keep an eye on this page for the best bundle deals so you can get more for your money.
How to find the best Nintendo Switch Black Friday deal
We’ll update this page regularly across the Black Friday weekend and into Cyber Monday because we know it can be quite stressful checking through every brand when you just want to buy the cheapest deal.
So first up, bookmark us! Secondly, know your price point and know what you want. Do you want a particular game with the Switch?
Also keep in mind the rush for the Switch earlier in the year, while we expect retailers to have prepared for this, we expect deals to go fast.
Best bet is to look at retailers who had good stock last time, so in the USA that’s Best Buy, Walmart and in the UK that was Amazon, who kept getting re-stocked and GAME for bundles.
Currys and Very were also good shouts. Of course, we’ll be checking all of them too.
What is a good price for the Nintendo Switch?
With the UK just having lockdown and things not getting quite back to normal we know everyone is keen to keep themselves entertained. We saw back in March that stock went fast for the Nintendo Switch and then again with Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Stock is now back to normal in the UK, so here’s hoping that continues. Good news is the UK looks better prepared (than the US) with stock there we may see better deals and prices over this Black Friday weekend. Nintendo itself has said there will be a few games half-price including Pokemon ranges and Minecraft will see a discount too.
But what does this mean when it comes to price? These days the Nintendo Switch is priced at about £279 max. For the Nintendo Switch Lite, it should be about £199 without a game. Last year you could get about £20-£30 off that price, which isn’t as much but expected as it’s the cheaper console.
Last year, we saw the Nintendo Switch with a Free Labo Kit for £279.99 at Argos. The Nintendo Switch Lite console was down from £199 to about £179 mark mostly, with Currys staying at that price.
Argos also sold two games for £30, not just for the Switch but for PS4 and Xbox One too. Plus eBay had the Pokemon Sword Nintendo Switch game for £39.99, not bad when this was a popular buy.
And then there is Aldi who will be having some amazing Nintendo Switch deals of their own. Look to be able to pick up a console for just £229.99, one of the cheapest that we have seen, along with a Switch starter kit for £7.99. Asda has also said it will sell the Nintendo Switch for £229.99 – so we’re expecting this to be the cheapest the Nintendo Switch will go.
What is the Nintendo Switch?
If you’re still unsure. The Nintendo Switch console offers three ways for gamers to play. The device consists of a main tablet-like screen to which two “Joy-Con” controllers slot in and out of either side.
By docking the device into your TV you can enjoy HD gaming at home. The flip stand on the back of the screen allows the Nintendo Switch to flip into what it calls “tablet mode” meaning you can play multiplayer games out and about.
Finally, the familiar hand-held mode is the third way to play and is the single-player mode, used with the controllers slotted in.
You can add in external micro SD cards for Nintendo Switch (memory cards) to expand the device’s capacity and we’ve tracked down the best power banks for Nintendo Switch so you can keep gaming for longer.
There are also loads of exciting games and extras like the Nintendo Ring Fit and the new Animal Crossing. The Nintendo Switch Lite is currently available in four colours, with the newest coral colour proving exceptionally popular.
Bundles can also be a sneaky way to get your hands on popular tech, especially when it comes to gaming devices like the Nintendo Switch. Some of the big-name retailers offer great games including popular options such as Mario Kart and Pokemon with the console as a package.
If you’re not sure which Switch to buy, read our guide comparing the Nintendo Switch vs Nintendo Switch Lite. The Lite is purely a handheld console, while the Switch, while more expensive, is more versatile and can be played multiplayer, making it popular with families.
