Nintendo's Black Friday 2026 deals are out. The big one is the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle for $499.99, which is $50 off. That runs from November 22 to December 5. On top of that, a handful of physical games get $20 off from November 22 to 29, and there's an eShop sale starting even sooner, on November 19.
Nintendo posted all of this on November 12. These are US prices and US stores. Here's everything, with the dates, so you know when to actually buy.
The quick version
| Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle | $499.99 ($50 off), Nov 22 to Dec 5 |
| Switch 2 + Switch Sports Resort bundle | $529.99 (Nintendo says $27.98 off) |
| Physical games | $20 off select games, Nov 22 to Nov 29 |
| eShop sale | Nov 19 to Dec 2, 11:59 p.m. PT |
| Where | Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Walmart, Nintendo's own stores |
The Switch 2 bundles
The Mario Kart World bundle comes with a Switch 2, a full digital download of Mario Kart World, and 3 months (90 days) of Nintendo Switch Online. Normally it's $549.99. The deal runs from November 22 through December 5, while supplies last, at select retailers and on the Nintendo Store website.
One small catch: the 3 months of Switch Online auto-renews at the normal price after it ends, unless you cancel. Worth turning that off if you don't want it.
Nintendo also listed a Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort bundle at $529.99, with the same 3 months of Switch Online. Nintendo says that's a saving of $27.98. If you'd rather have a party game for the family than Mario Kart, that's the other option, but the Mario Kart one is the better deal on paper.
If you're also picking between a PS5, Xbox and Switch 2 this year, we've got all three side by side in our Black Friday console deals guide.
$20 off games (Nov 22 to 29)
These are physical copies, at the retailers above and Nintendo's New York and San Francisco stores. Every one is $20 off the suggested 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 (Switch)
- Super Mario Party Jamboree (Switch version)
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (Switch version)
This one's only a week long, and it ends on November 29, the Sunday after Black Friday. So if you want one of these, don't wait for Cyber Monday. And again, it's while supplies last, so the popular ones might go quick at some stores.
Notice the Metroid Prime 4 and Mario Party deals cover both the Switch 2 Edition and the plain Switch version, so check which one you're grabbing. If you've still got an original Switch, the Galaxy double pack works on both systems.
The eShop sale (starts Nov 19)
For digital, Nintendo's running a sale on select games from November 19 through December 2 at 11:59 p.m. PT, on the Nintendo eShop, the Nintendo Store website and the Nintendo Store app. Nintendo hasn't put out the full list of games or discounts yet. We'll add the best ones once it's live.
November 19 is also GTA 6 day, which isn't on Switch 2. So if you're a Nintendo-only household, at least you get a sale that day.
Stuff to grab with a new Switch 2
If you're getting the bundle, a couple of things are worth knowing. The Switch 2 only takes microSD Express cards for extra storage, not the old regular microSD cards from the first Switch. So if you need more space, look for a microSD Express card specifically.
And Mario Kart is way more fun with a second player. The Joy-Con 2 split into two, but if someone's playing a lot, a Switch 2 Pro Controller is a nice upgrade, and it fits in a stocking.

Nintendo's own stores
If you're near New York or San Francisco, Nintendo's two US stores have all the same game deals, plus holiday gift guides, and for a limited time a gift with purchase if you spend a minimum amount. Nintendo didn't say what the gift is or how much you need to spend.
