Nintendo has revealed its Black Friday deals, and there are some surprising omissions

You might not find the Switch deals you’re looking for

by · TechRadar

With Black Friday 2021 now only a few weeks away, you might be wondering what Nintendo Switch deals will be available come November 26. 

Well, thanks to Nintendo, we know now exactly what to expect… but not everyone will be happy.

These deals begin on November 21 and end on November 27, which means we wouldn't wait until Cyber Monday 2021 if you're looking to save on these Switch titles and console bundles.

First up, Nintendo will be offering a Black Friday Nintendo Switch bundle that includes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a three-month membership to Nintendo Switch Online for $299.99 – that’s a saving of $70.

Best Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals:

This is the same console bundle we saw last year, and it sold out fast. Sadly, the Nintendo Switch OLED model won’t be on sale, so expect to pay the full asking price if you’re after the Switch OLED. This offer begins on November 21 and likely won't last until Black Friday officially begins. Nintendo has also warned that it might not be able to meet Switch demand this holiday season. 

Nintendo Switch + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + 3 month Nintendo Switch Online membership: $299.99

Save $70 - Nintendo will be offering the same Nintendo Switch bundle that proved extremely popular during Black Friday 2020. With a saving of $70 and one of the best Switch games included plus online access, there's no doubt this deal will be sought-after again.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: $60 at Amazon
This remake of the classic Game Boy title breathes new life into a series favorite. While there's not much in the way of brand new content, the aesthetic overhaul is gorgeous enough to warrant a revisit for veteran players and is a fine Zelda adventure for newcomers, too.

Remember, you'll need a Nintendo Switch Online account to get the most out of this one.
