Whether you’re looking to purchase a new Nintendo Switch or Switch Lite, Nintendo has a few deals going on for this Black Friday. The Nintendo Switch, a popular console that’s seen the top of the charts for the past 10 months, has a few specials going on for holiday shopping.
Nintendo stated that starting Nov. 28, select retailers will offer a bundle that includes a Nintendo Switch system and a download code for one of its best-selling games Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for a total price of $299.99. Participating retailers are Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target and Walmart. While the discount doesn’t drop the price of the Switch — gamers will get the popular Switch version of Mario Kart for free — a $59.99 value at retail price.
