Console bundles and discounted games will be part of Nintendo’s Black Friday line-up, including money off all three models of console.
Technically, Black Friday 2023 isn’t until November 24 but as has been the case for years now, as far as some companies are concerned it lasts practically the entire month. And even when it doesn’t they like to get people ready for upcoming deals as far in advance as possible.
That’s already started to happen with Sony and their Call Of Duty bundles, as well as leaks suggesting major price cuts for the Xbox Series X. And now even the usually secretive Nintendo has started teasing what their offerings will be in the UK.
It’s more than a tease really, they’ve just flat out stated what they’ll be. The only complication is that they haven’t yet said how cheap the games will be, but we’d avoid paying full price for any of the below until after this month.
This is Nintendo, so you probably shouldn’t be expecting any massive savings. But then again, this may well be the Switch’s last Christmas before the introduction of its successor, so they may be a little more generous than usual.
As you can see, the sales will start on Thursday, November 16 but the newer and/or more high profile games won’t be discounted until Monday, November 20. In both cases, the deals will last all the way until December 2.
Although they’re not currently labelled as Black Friday on the Nintendo Store, the Switch Lite Aloha Edition console, which comes with a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, is already £50 off at £199.99.
There’s also a Nintendo Switch Sports bundle that comes with the game, the standard (not OLED) model console, three months of Nintendo Switch Online, and a leg strap (for the Joy-Con) and a free water bottle for £259.99, which is a saving of £46.
On top of this is a Super Mario Bros. Wonder bundle that has a more modest saving of £20, that includes the game, a red Switch OLED Model, a case, and a set of pin badges for £359.98.
Considering Wonder is brand new that’s still a pretty good deal, and while there may be other hardware deals once Black Friday starts they’re probably not going to be a whole lot cheaper.
Update: Nintendo has just announced a new Mario Kart bundle as well, so there may well be more to come. This one is £309.99 from the Nintendo Store and features the OLED Model, but it won’t be live until Monday.
Oh, and just as a reminder, there’s an Indie World livestream planned today for 5pm, which leaks suggest will include the Switch version of Outer Wilds, possibly as a shadow drop.
