Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday Deals: Games, Consoles, and Switch Accessories

Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday Deals: Games, Consoles, and Switch Accessories

Here’s good news for Nintendo Switch owners (and prospective owners): Cyber Monday 2023 is happening, but it won’t last forever. For a limited time, tons of Nintendo Switch games, accessories, and console bundles are on sale, many for all-time low prices. Major game series like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Kirby have already seen price drops of $30 or more — and more discounts are coming online all the time. Even more, the new Nintendo Switch OLED Cyber Monday console bundle is still available to purchase if you missed out. Let’s take a look at the deals.

Nintendo Switch Super Smash Bros. OLED Cyber Monday Bundle

The new Cyber Monday Switch OLED bundle features a digital download of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. Priced at $349.99 MSRP, it offers approximately $67.98 in savings. This new bundle has been extremely popular, and will probably sell out fast — so make your purchase ASAP to avoid disappointment. These special editions rarely last long.

It gets you a Nintendo Switch console, a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and 3 months of individual Nintendo Switch Online — all for $299.99. That’s the normal price of a Switch on its own, so you’re essentially getting Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and three months of online service for free. That’s a better deal than you’ll find on Switch hardware any other time of the year, so grab it if you want it.

Another must-have Switch accessory, at least if you download digital games from the eShop, is a microSD card (which also compatible with Steam Deck and ROG Ally). Pop one of these tiny storage devices into your Switch, and you can keep more digital games on the device without having to re-download them when you want to play. You’ll can find deep discounts on microSD cards during Cyber Monday 2023, making it great time to add 128GB, 512GB, or even 1TB of storage to your Switch.

Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday Console Deals

Aside from the Switch bundle mentioned above, Nintendo has finally introduced a new Cyber Monday bundle for Switch. The new Nintendo Switch – OLED Model and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate bundle is now available.

This bundle offer will include a unique Switch OLED model, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (digital download), and three months of Nintendo Switch Online. It will cost $349.99 MSRP, with around $67.98 in savings. This offer marks it as one of the hot items to consider for Switch Black Friday & Cyber Monday sales.

Where to Find Nintendo Deals on Cyber Monday

We’ll provide plenty of links to all the best Nintendo deals on Cyber Monday, but here’s where you can expect to find them. In terms of Switch games, you’ll be able to find deals on them at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and the like. If you prefer to download games, you’ll be able to find digital Switch games at most of those retailers as well, plus the Nintendo eShop, which you can access directly from your Switch.

The same goes for Nintendo Switch accessories, including Switch headsets and Switch controllers, which should be discounted widely at the usual retailers.

The Best Buy Cyber Monday sale is live and the Walmart Cyber Monday and Amazon Cyber Monday sales are, too. Here’s the Nintendo Switch section at all of the following retailers:

Where will you do most of your online Cyber Monday shopping this year?

Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday Shopping Tips

Many of these tips are applicable no matter what you’re shopping for on Cyber Monday.

  1. Set a Budget – It’s safe to say many of us have massive video game backlogs. Just because you see a game you want on sale doesn’t mean you should buy it immediately. Set a budget and stick to it. Only buy the games you think you’ll play soon.
  2. Make a Wishlist – One of the best ways to keep your Cyber Monday spending under control is to make a wishlist of games or other items you want to buy, and stick to it. Ignore the deals that aren’t on items you would’ve bought otherwise.
  3. Compare Prices – Sometimes I’ll bite on a Cyber Monday deal that looks great (say, Link’s Awakening for $39.99). But then I’ll see the very same item on sale for 25% less at another retailer. Before you click the buy button, check the other popular retailers to see if they match (or beat) the sale price.
  4. Snag Particularly Good Deals Fast – If you see a hard-to-believe great deal on a Switch game or accessory, grab it sooner rather than later. Retailers only have so much stock, so it’s likely that the best deals will sell out before Cyber Monday ends. Grab great deals fast.
  5. Don’t Fret if You Miss Out – If you click on a killer deal and find that it’s sold out, don’t despair. Often times the exact same Cyber Monday deal will come back in stock on Cyber Monday. And even if not, the next Prime Day will be here before you know it.

8BitDo Arcade Stick For Switch And PC Gets Rare Discount For Black Friday

8BitDo Arcade Stick For Switch And PC Gets Rare Discount For Black Friday

8BitDo’s Arcade Stick controller for Nintendo Switch and PC is down to $72 (was $90) in Amazon’s and Best Buy’s big Black Friday sales. This stellar arcade stick rarely receives discounts, so this 20% discount is significant. Alternatively, Prime members can get the Xbox/PC edition of this fight stick for $96 (was $120) in black or white.

The 8BitDo Arcade Stick is perfect for fighting games like Mortal Kombat 1 or Street Fighter VI, as well as classic arcade games like Streets of Rage.

The controller features a joystick, eight face buttons plus dedicated Start, Select, turbo, and macro buttons, and toggles that swap between the various connection types, controller modes, and other settings, including an input toggle that changes the button labels depending on if you’re playing Switch or PC. It supports wired USB connection via the included USB-C cable or wireless pairing via Bluetooth or 2.4Gz, and it ships with a 2.4Ghz dongle that slots into a hidden USB port on the bottom of the controller.

8BitDo Arcade Stick
8BitDo Arcade Stick

The 8BitDo Arcade Stick’s simple design makes it easy to start playing right out of the box, but it’s also moddable–including support for swapping out the buttons and joystick with components from other fight sticks–for those who want to fine-tune the controller’s feel. PC users can also program their own button macros using the free 8BitDo Ultimate software. It’s also more affordable than most fight sticks, even at full price, making this discount all the more enticing. Make sure you grab the 8BitDo Arcade Stick at Amazon while it’s still available.

Other 8BitDo controllers and accessories are also discounted in Amazon’s Black Friday sale, including the Retro Mechanical Keyboard, which is discounted to just $90 (was $100) for the first time. Here’s a quick roundup of some of the most notable 8BitDo Black Friday deals at Amazon:

Where to Buy a Nintendo Switch on Black Friday

Black Friday is a great time to buy a Nintendo Switch for yourself or as a gift. Even in its seventh year on the market, the Switch has continued to see impressive first-party support with titles like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. With three models to choose from, you can streamline your experience depending on how you play. We’ve detailed all the Nintendo Switch deals for Black Friday below.

Where to Buy a Nintendo Switch This Black Friday

What to Look for in a Nintendo Switch

Will you play in Portable or Docked mode?

Something you should think about before purchasing is whether or not you are going to play in portable, docked, or both. Depending on your answer, you might gravitate towards a certain Switch model. If you plan to use both modes, the best Switch for you is the standard Nintendo Switch. On the other hand, if you think you won’t play your Switch on a TV, then you should purchase a Nintendo Switch Lite.

The Nintendo Switch OLED are where things get interesting since it is a premium model. Generally, it is a good fit for you if you’re looking to get the most out of the Switch and its games. If you tend to play more in Handheld mode than Docked mode, the Switch OLED is a worthwhile purhcase.

Do you want to play with friends?

If you want to play games locally with your friends, then the Switch Lite is something you want to avoid. Its portable-only nature doesn’t allow for it to connect to a TV and dock. Additionally, no kickstand or Joy-Cons means that it is tricky to attempt tabletop play for local multiplayer. Both the Switch and Switch OLED have the missing features listed above, so we recommend choosing one of those models if you want to play local multiplayer.

Check Out This Steeply Discounted Zelda Nintendo Switch Controller

While the Switch Pro controller is a more robust piece of technology to have on hand when you’re playing a game at home, it’s not exactly the most stylish peripheral around. Fortunately, this wireless controller from PowerA isn’t just a solid alternative, but also a flashy substitute that Legend of Zelda fans will appreciate. For Black Friday, you can pick one up for $38.49 (normally $60) and add some Hylian splendor to your gaming setup.

PowerA Legend of Zelda Switch controller
PowerA Legend of Zelda Switch controller

Like other PowerA premium controllers, this model works on a Bluetooth 5.0 frequency and has a rechargeable battery that offers up to 30 hours of play time. Other neat features include two mappable buttons, embedded anti-friction rings for smooth thumbstick control, a low-battery warning LED indicator, and an ergonomic shape to make it comfortable to hold for long sessions. The D-pad on this is also quite attractive, as it sports a metallic blue finish.

If you do run low on battery power, you can plug in the controller for a recharge and keep playing with the included USB-C charging cable. Additionally, there are some nice accessories to add to your purchase, like a matching Legend of Zelda carrying case for $14 or you can get one with a more minimalist design for $20. You’ll also have a two-year warranty on the controller just in case anything happens during a particularly stressful boss fight against Ganondorf.

The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Gets Steep Discount

The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Gets Steep Discount

Six years after releasing alongside the Nintendo Switch, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is still a must-have game. It’s also a game that rarely sees discounts these days, but for Black Friday 2023, you can pick up this masterpiece of open-world design for $40, a $20 savings. You can pair the game with the official hardcover strategy guide for only $23.

This chapter in one of Nintendo’s most popular franchises was groundbreaking when it was first released, and years later, it’s still as captivating as ever. A game about surviving the harsh Hylian frontier and taming it as you uncover more of the land, Breath of the Wild is full of surprises, engaging exploration, and intense action sequences where you’re free to go at your own pace.

“From its mysterious opening to its action-packed conclusion, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a revolution for Nintendo’s revered series,” Peter Brown wrote in GameSpot’s Breath of the Wild review, which awarded the game a rare 10/10 score. “It’s both a return to form and a leap into uncharted territory, and it exceeds expectations on both fronts. The game takes designs and mechanics perfected in other games and reworks them for its own purposes to create something wholly new, but also something that still feels quintessentially like a Zelda game.”

Earlier this year, Nintendo released The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, another brilliant entry in the franchise that used Breath of the Wild’s open-world Hyrule as a foundation and then innovated on the gameplay loop in surprising and wildly creative ways. You can get Tears of the Kingdom for $10 off at Amazon and the official collector’s edition strategy guide for only $27.

Plenty of other Nintendo Switch games are on sale for big discounts during Black Friday, too. You can check out the highlights below alongside a small list of stellar third-party controller deals, including the highly customizable 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth controller and Hori’s wonderful handheld Split Pad controllers. If you’re in the market for Joy-Con controllers for multiplayer, you’ll want to check out the Black Friday Super Mario Party bundle.

2023 Model
55″ Hisense U6K 4K Mini-LED QLED ULED Google TV
40% off $579.99
$349.99

Amazon just dropped the price of the new 2023 Hisense U6K 55″ 4K TV to $349.99. That is the best price we’ve seen and the lowest price ever for a Mini-LED TV. The U6K not only uses a Mini-LED panel, it also features quantum dot technology (QLED) and wide color gamut (ULED). This is easily the best TV in its price range for watching 4K HDR content in all of its glory. Although the U6K makes for a solid gaming TV, its panel is limited to 60Hz refresh rate at 4K. That means it doesn’t support 4K @ 120Hz gaming on PS5 and Xbox.

You’ll need this kind of power to run games comfortably on the laptop’s beefed up 2560×1600 or QHD+ display. The Alienware x16 R2 has the same powerful GPU but in a slimmer form factor. It’s $200 more than the m16, but it might be worth it for those who a lot of gaming power in a more portable laptop.

Save On Hori’s Official Nintendo Switch D-Pad Controller At Amazon

Save On Hori’s Official Nintendo Switch D-Pad Controller At Amazon

The Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Con controllers are decent but not perfect. One of the biggest issues (aside from joystick drift) is the lack of a dedicated D-pad on the left Joy-Con. Luckily, Hori’s Switch D-pad Controller fixes this shortcoming, replacing the left Joy-Con’s segmented four directional buttons with a single t-shaped D-pad like those found on the Switch Pro Controller and older Nintendo consoles. The Hori Switch D-pad Controller comes in multiple versions, but the Super Mario-themed variant is on sale at Amazon for just $19 (down from $30) for Black Friday 2023.

If you’re more of a Zelda fan, the Zelda-themed Hori Switch D-pad is also discounted to just $23.58 (normally $30) at Amazon. The Zelda Hori Switch D-pad is also available in a bundle with a comfort grip for $35 (normally $45) or a compact Switch stand for $37 (normally $45).

There’s also a Pokemon-themed Hori Switch D-pad Controller featuring Pikachu available for $25 (normally $30). Like the Zelda model, the Pikachu-themed Hori Switch D-pad is also included in bundles with Hori’s Comfort Grip for $38 (was $45), or a Switch Stand for $37.

Unlike other Joy-Con replacements, Hori’s Switch D-pad controller is just a single left Joy-con, rather than both the left and right pads–meaning you will need to keep using your existing right Joy-con. That said, the Hori Switch D-pad Controller is identical to the standard Joy-con’s design–minus the D-pad and unique paint job–and is officially licensed by Nintendo, so it should feel like a normal Joy-con when playing in portable or handheld modes. The Hori Switch D-pad Controller works with the standard Nintendo Switch and Switch OLED models.

Amazon has deals on other Hori controllers and accessories, including steep discounts on Split Pad Pro Joy-Con replacement controllers.
