Black Friday Brings Massive Discounts on Over 200 Nintendo Switch Games

Black Friday video game sales are now live across major retailers, bringing extensive discounts to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 players. What started as a roundup of 85 game deals has expanded significantly, with Amazon's sale launch last Thursday pushing the list to 170 deals. The current collection now features over 200 game deals, including Switch exclusives at 50% off and Switch 2 games hitting new all-time low prices.

Walmart's Black Friday sale officially kicked off the shopping season, with all major retailers now participating in the promotional event. Nintendo Switch owners have access to an impressive selection of discounted games, with exclusive titles seeing particularly steep price reductions. The deals span both physical and digital formats, giving players flexibility in how they purchase their games.

For those specifically interested in first-party Nintendo titles, there's a dedicated roundup of official Black Friday deals. These exclusive games have been selling out quickly, but as of November 24 at 11 PM PT, Walmart maintains better stock levels and offers more 50% discounts than competing retailers. All nine games in the official sale are priced at $30 at Walmart, representing significant savings from their typical $60 retail price.

The official Nintendo Black Friday sale includes major titles like Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Luigi's Mansion 3, Princess Peach: Showtime, Nintendo Switch Sports, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Splatoon 3, and Super Mario Odyssey. Target and Best Buy also have several of these $30 deals available, though Amazon has largely sold out except for Luigi's Mansion 3.

If any of these games sell out, players can check retailer links for both physical and digital versions, as some retailers offer digital editions at the same discounted prices. This provides additional options for those who prefer digital downloads or need immediate access to their games.

Nintendo Switch 2 owners have their own selection of Black Friday deals to explore. Walmart's video game sale includes official Black Friday deals on Mario Kart World and Switch 2 Editions of several popular titles, including Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and Super Mario Party Jamboree. These deals come from a third-party reseller with Walmart's "Pro Seller" distinction, and orders are fulfilled by Walmart with eligibility for the retailer's holiday return policy until January 31.

All five Switch 2 games are brand-new, sealed copies of the US edition, ensuring buyers receive authentic products. The deals include Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World at $61, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at $56, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at $63, Mario Kart World at $63, and Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV at $64.

Walmart's Black Friday sale also features third-party Switch 2 games at surprisingly low prices, including Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S for just $15 and Star Wars Outlaws: Gold Edition for $30. Amazon has matched many of these deals, though some titles like Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S sold out quickly. Multiple Sega-published games are steeply discounted at Amazon, including Sonic X Shadow Generations for $25, Yakuza 0 Director's Cut for $30, and Raidou Remastered for $30.

JRPG fans can save $20 on the Switch 2 version of Persona 3 Reload, while other notable deals include Hitman: World of Assassination Signature Edition for $50, Hogwarts Legacy for $30, and Split Fiction for $30. Most titles listed are Game-Key Card editions, requiring players to download game data from the eShop after inserting the cartridge. Exceptions include Rune Factory, Daemon X Machina, and Story of Seasons, which are published by Marvelous.

For those looking to expand their Switch 2 storage, Amazon offers an incredible Black Friday deal on Samsung's new 512GB microSD Express Card. This storage solution provides ample space for digital downloads and game data, making it an essential accessory for serious Switch 2 players.

Walmart's Nintendo Switch game sale includes many of the same games found at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, but numerous deals are $5-$10 cheaper at Walmart. Amazon is matching many of Walmart's prices, though Amazon deals typically sell out faster than at other major retailers.

One of the most notable third-party game deals for Switch is Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, which Walmart is selling for only $30, representing a 50% discount from its original $60 price. Amazon hasn't matched this specific discount, likely because Amazon has an exclusive edition with a double-sided poster for $45. The standard edition at Amazon is currently sold out.

Walmart has a collection of Switch games available for only $15, including Hello Kitty: Island Adventure, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Dog Man: Mission Impawsible, My Sims Cozy Bundle, Hogwarts Legacy, Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit, Mortal Kombat 1, and more. Amazon has matched many of these $15 deals, though most of the listed games sold out at Amazon within an hour of going live.

Multiple recently released Bandai Namco games are on sale, including Once Upon a Katamari, Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac 2, and Tales of Xillia Remastered. Tales fans can also grab Tales of Graces f Remastered for only $20. Other JRPGs on sale for all-time low prices include Suikoden I & II HD Remaster for $30, Unicorn Overlord for $25, Persona 5 Royal for $25, and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance for $18.

The Nintendo Switch eShop Cyber Deals promotion is running alongside Nintendo's Black Friday sale at major retailers. Players can purchase the biggest games in the Cyber Deals sale at major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. Nintendo's digital deals lineup includes Paper Mario: The Origami King, Splatoon 3, Luigi's Mansion 3, and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Walmart also has digital codes for Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 listed for steep discounts, allowing players to grab the full Monolith Soft trilogy at a terrific price. Story expansions for the second and third games are also available at low prices, completing the collection for dedicated fans.

This year's Black Friday represents one of the best opportunities for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 owners to expand their game libraries at significant discounts. With over 200 games on sale across multiple retailers, players have unprecedented access to both exclusive and third-party titles at prices that won't be seen again until next year's holiday shopping season.

As the shopping season continues, players should act quickly on deals that interest them, as popular titles are selling out rapidly across all retailers. The combination of official Nintendo sales and third-party retailer promotions creates a perfect storm of savings for gaming enthusiasts looking to build their collections.
