Nintendo Switch with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle
$300
If you're looking to purchase a Nintendo Switch, the best deal you'll find is this familiar bundle. You can get the Switch console (new model with better battery life) with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online for $300 at most major retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, and Kohl's.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
$30 (was $60)
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is a wonderfully realized remake of the top-down Game Boy classic. Brimming with vibrant colors and a bunch of new secrets, Link's Awakening is ideal for those looking for a traditional Zelda experience. It's nostalgic in the best ways while also feeling delightfully modern. Walmart will have Link's Awakening for $30, its lowest price yet.
Luigi's Mansion 3
$30 (was $60)
Luigi's Mansion 3, the latest adventure starring Luigi the ghost hunter, will be on sale for $30 at Walmart--a new low price. Luigi must make his way through a haunted hotel to save his friends. Filled with clever puzzles and lots of charm, Luigi's Mansion 3 is a must-play Switch game.
Pokemon: Let's Go
$30 (was $60)
Pokemon: Let's Go (Pikachu and Eevee versions) will be slashed to $30 at Walmart. These remakes of Pokemon Yellow bring Pokemon to the overworld map to eliminate random battles and use a Pokemon Go-like catch system. It's a more streamlined Pokemon RPG experience, making it great for both young kids and those looking to relive their childhood.
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
$30 (was $60)
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe compiles a pair of great Wii U platformers. This is classic side-scrolling Mario through and through with smart level design, colorful visuals, and several playable characters with unique styles. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is worth the price of admission even at retail cost, but for $30 it's a downright steal.
Splatoon 2
$30 (was $60)
Splatoon 2 is one of the best competitive multiplayer games on Switch. The unique paint-splatting combat offers fun for all ages, and there's plenty of differentiated content to enjoy, including multiple competitive and casual modes, a cooperative mode, and a single-player campaign.
Yoshi's Crafted World
$30 (was $60)
Extremely cute and surprisingly inventive, Yoshi's Crafted World is a fantastic side-scrolling platformer that is perhaps the best Switch game for young kids who are just starting out on their gaming journey. The levels are designed to look as if they were made out of cardboard, giving them a childlike charm. Crafted World can be played solo or via local co-op with two players.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
$30 (was $60)
One of the best role-playing games on Switch, Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a deep and enriching experience from top to bottom. The story is superb and is affected by your choices, while the turn-based tactical combat is constantly enjoyable and filled with a ton of depth. Walmart will have Fire Emblem: Three Houses for its lowest price yet since releasing last year.
Super Mario Maker 2
$30 (was $60)
Super Mario Maker 2 is great whether you want to create your own side-scrolling levels with the intuitive course creator or are merely interested in playing a seemingly endless suite of levels. In addition to enjoying player-created levels via the online database, you can run through a rather lengthy single-player campaign. Like other Switch exclusives mentioned so far, Super Mario Maker 2 will hit its lowest price yet at Walmart.
Mario Tennis Aces
$30 (was $60)
The latest in the long line of Mario sports games, Mario Tennis Aces is an easy to pick up arcade sim that features an engaging solo campaign and multiplayer suite that's great for both local and online play. It'll be on sale for $30 at Walmart.
BioShock: The Collection
$15 (was $50)
BioShock: The Collection compiles all three games (and every piece of DLC) in the stellar first-person shooter series in one package. Whether you've played them before or diving in for the first time, the Switch version is a great option, especially at this ridiculously low price. Keep in mind that you do need a microSD card to install the complete collection.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
$15 (was $60)
Ubisoft's Mario meets Rabbids mashup is as zany as you'd expect, but it's also a wonderful XCOM-esque game that is approachable for newcomers of the tactics genre.
Minecraft Dungeons - Hero edition
$20 (was $30)
Minecraft Dungeons is a Diablo-like RPG that uses the world of Microsoft's popular sandbox as its foundation. You don't necessarily have to be a Minecraft fan to have fun here, and this is a great option for those looking for a solid co-op game to play with family on the couch.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete edition
$40 (was $60)
It's impressive that CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3 works as well as it does on the comparatively underpowered Nintendo Switch. Though the graphical fidelity is on the weaker side, it runs smooth and you can't beat getting to play one of the best RPGs of all time in handheld mode.
Collection of Mana
$20 (was $40)
For nostalgic gamers, Collection of Mana is a neat compilation celebrating one of the most beloved classic RPG series. The collection includes Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy Adventure, and the original version of Trials of Mana, which is the first time it's been released in the west.
NBA 2K21
$27 (was $60)
Basketball fans can pick up NBA 2K21 for only $27 during Black Friday. That's more than 50% off, which is a stellar deal considering the sim only released this fall. While 2K21 is more of the same, it's still a great basketball sim nonetheless.
PGA Tour 2K21
$27 (was $60)
PGA Tour 2K21 is arguably the best sports game released in 2020. Featuring an exciting PGA Tour Career mode, a robust online suite, and an easy-to-use course creator, PGA Tour 2K21 is loaded with content. It's certainly a simulation golf experience, but you can fine-tune the difficulty to find the right settings for your game.
Trials of Mana
$20 (was $50)
If you want a more modern Mana experience, the Trials of Mana remake brings the classic game to 3D. It's a wonderful action-RPG that remains authentic to the original while adding a bevy of modern flourishes to make it feel new again. At $20, Trials of Mana is a really good deal.
Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Kollection
$25 (was $50)
Mortal Kombat 11 is one of the best fighting games on Nintendo Switch, and during Black Friday you can grab the Aftermath Kollection for 50% off. It includes both the base game and the robust Aftermath DLC.
Nintendo Switch eShop Gift Cards
10% off
Best Buy will be selling Nintendo Switch eShop gift cards for 10% off during Black Friday. While not a tremendous savings, it's still essentially free money.
PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller
$30 (was $45)
PowerA Enhanced wireless controllers are a worthy alternative to the pricey Nintendo Switch Pro controller. Walmart will have multiple different variants on sale for $30.
