Black Friday is a time when sales are common, but even then the gaming industry giant,Nintendo, is not often seen to be joining the list of massive deals. The company is known for not having many discounts on any of their major games or consoles, even years after a release. With the expected announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 on the horizon, however, it seems that for 2024 there will be quite a few special deals given to savvy holiday shoppers.

Major retailers such as Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon, as well as many others, areoffering several deals on Nintendo Switch consoles and accessories as well as many of the popular gamesfor the system. Even newer, big-name titles such asThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomare getting discounts of close to 50%, as is the case atTarget, with console bundles seeing big sales as well.
