“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” seems to be the mantra at Nintendo of America for this year’s Black Friday deals. The company is running the exact same promotion as last year, where most retailers will carry the Neon Red/Blue Switch with a digital code for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for $299.99. This deal is so completely copy and paste of last year that they’re even using the same old Switch hardware! That’s right, those of you who pay attention will remember that Nintendo put out a revised Switch model in August that features better battery performance. According to Nintendo’s official PR these special bundles will include the original hardware, not the improved units. I guess they’re trying to clear out old stock?
Some of Nintendo’s first party lineup is receiving a $20 price break. That includes games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Mario Tennis Aces. Keep in mind those three in particular are even cheaper in Target’s Black Friday ad ($30 off). Also seeing a drop to $39.99 are: Super Mario Party, Splatoon 2, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Kirby Star Allies, Octopath Traveler, and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Standard Gray and Neon Red/Blue Joy-Con two-packs will also see a $20 reduction to $59.99.

Nintendo Switch system and a download code for the
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game, at a suggested retail price of only $299.99*. That’s the price of a Nintendo Switch system with a game for no extra cost!
With the multiplayer fun of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and two Joy-Con controllers included with the Nintendo Switch system, families can open the bundle and start playing together right away.

With Nintendo Switch, anyone in the family can find something they are looking for – from traversing the beautiful island and trap-ridden dungeons of
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, to embarking on a fantasy adventure that’s powered by real-life movements and exercise in
Ring Fit Adventure, to exploring a haunted hotel and solving puzzles in
Luigi’s Mansion 3.
Nintendo Switch is also home to well-received games like
Super Mario Maker 2,
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, all of which can be enjoyed together with the entire family. And any game that is compatible with Handheld mode can also be played on the recently released
