Nintendo announces Switch 2 and Switch Black Friday 2026 deals

Nintendo revealed Black Friday 2026 offers for the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch from REDMOND, Wash., on Nov. 12, 2026. Nintendo framed the announcement as part of its holiday shopping options for families and friends ahead of Black Friday 2026. The announcement came in a Business Wire press release dated Nov. 12, 2026.

The headline offer is the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle, available from Nov. 22 through Dec. 5, 2026. It costs $499.99. Buyers get a Switch 2 system, a full download of Mario Kart World, and a three-month (90-day) Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership, which cuts $50 from the suggested retail price. Nintendo World Report says the price brings the Switch 2 back to what it cost before the Sept. 1 price increases, and the bundle is one of the headline offers in Nintendo’s Black Friday promotion.

A second bundle, the Nintendo Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Bundle, costs $529.99. It includes the system, a full download of Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and a three-month (90-day) Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership, which cuts $27.98 from the suggested retail price. Nintendo lists it as a second system bundle option alongside the Mario Kart World package, and the membership is the individual basic tier.

Select physical Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch games will cost $20 less than the suggested retail price from Nov. 22 through Nov. 29, 2026. The discount applies to games at participating retailers during the opening week of the Black Friday period.

Discounted Switch 2 games include Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby Air Riders, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Super Mario Party Jamboree. The Switch versions of Super Mario Party Jamboree and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond are also included, along with the Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV bundle. Nintendo Insider’s summary of the Black Friday sale includes the same Switch 2 and Switch games.

IGN says Nintendo told it the sale games will start at $39.99 each with a standard $20 discount. IGN expects Donkey Kong Bananza to sell for $49.99 because its manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) is $69.99. It also expects Kirby Air Riders and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond to sell for $49.99 because each has a $69.99 MSRP in the US. IGN explains that the higher MSRP titles should sell for $49.99 despite the standard discount.

Shoppers can find the physical offers at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Walmart, Nintendo NEW YORK, and Nintendo SAN FRANCISCO. The Mario Kart World bundle is also sold on the Nintendo Store website.

Nintendo’s digital sale on the eShop and Nintendo Store starts Nov. 19 and ends Dec. 2 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Nintendo says the sale gives shoppers an early opportunity to buy games before physical offers begin on Nov. 22. Digital items for the sale are to be determined.

Lifehacker reports that Woot has a Nintendo Switch 2 for $469, reduced from $499, and calls it the first major discount since the Sept. 1 price hike. Lifehacker says this discount appears ahead of Black Friday 2026 as an early deal on the new console. Nintendo Wire says Amazon starts its Black Friday 2026 sale on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2026. Nintendo Wire says no restocks are confirmed for the Zelda: Ocarina of Time Switch 2 console and Pro Controller, and it will update its guide if anything changes.

The Nintendo NEW YORK and Nintendo SAN FRANCISCO stores will sell exclusive products, collectibles, and apparel inspired by Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Pikmin, and Splatoon. The shops will feature festive window displays and seasonal décor. They will also offer holiday gift guides, festive shopping bags, and a limited-time gift with purchase requiring a minimum spend while supplies last. The release describes these stores as one-stop destinations for holiday shopping for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch systems, games, gifts, and exclusive items.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a recently released Nintendo Switch 2 game. Nintendo’s announcement urges shoppers to try Switch 2 with this title and the newly released Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy, which launched on Nov. 12, 2026. Other recent Switch 2 games include Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, Splatoon Raiders, and Pokémon Pokopia Bundle (Game + Expansion Pass). Nintendo Switch 2 works with physical and digital Nintendo Switch games, and shoppers can pre-order Metroid Ravenous.

Black Friday itself falls on Nov. 27, 2026, and Nintendo’s deals begin Nov. 22, five days before. IGN says retailers often tease offers before the Friday after Thanksgiving, while Nintendo starts its sale on Nov. 22 instead of waiting for Nov. 27. All Black Friday 2026 offers are available while supplies last.
