As the holiday season fast approaches, Nintendo has offered various discounts on its bundles of Switches while offering excellent deals for investors interested in this mighty console.
Since Black Friday is just around the corner, these deals bring great savings and opportunities for players who haven't gotten their hands on it yet or have played it a little while. Here's an in-depth look at the best Nintendo Switch bundles and discounts you should consider before year-end.
Price: US$274.99 (originally US$350)
Nintendo Switch OLED model, a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a 12-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online.
This bundle stands out as one of the most excellent console deals in years; by any means, it offers a significant saving of US$155 over buying the items separately.
The OLED model boasts a bright 7-inch screen that helps games pop, so it's great for either handheld or docked play. The additional Mario Kart 8 Deluxe guarantees hours of fun from the multiplayer gaming and classic titles offered by Nintendo within an extended online subscription.
Price: US$225
The package contains the standard Nintendo Switch console, a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
For those on a budget, the standard Switch bundle is always a good value. Its benefits are similar to those of the OLED bundle but come at a more affordable price point.
Families or casual gamers who want to experience Nintendo's range of options can certainly do so with it, of course, without overspending.
Price: US$210
Includes: SPECIAL EDITION CONSOLE with art inspired by The Legend of Zelda and a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack for one year.
The Hyrule Edition Lite is ideal for those who play only on the go. It has all the non-docked mode features of a Switch, but its portability and design make it preferable to many, especially to fans of The Legend of Zelda franchise.
Joining the doorbuster hardware deals, some of the best-selling first-party titles are also being discounted this Black Friday:
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - US$50 (was US$70)
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - US$40

These deals are a great chance to increase your game library without breaking the bank.
Besides the bundles with consoles and games, several accessories are also in store:

Tears of the Kingdom carrying case: Today already reduced by US$10
These accessories may improve your gaming experience, so it's worth spending during this promotion.
With speculation surrounding the next-generation console, often referred to as ‘Switch 2’, many gamers are considering whether to invest in current models or wait for new releases. However, these discounts make now an ideal time to purchase:
1. Significant Savings: The current bundles offer some of the best prices seen in years.
2. Quality Games Included: Bundles come with popular titles that enhance their value.
3. Extended Online Membership: A full year of the Nintendo Switch Online membership is a huge improvement over any offer that may have been made before.
As Black Friday approaches, discounted Nintendo Switch bundles are the ultimate opportunity for gamers. With the standard or premium OLED versions, the value offered in these bundles, with games included and online services, is truly second to none. Other games and accessories are also on sale, so this might be the perfect chance to improve your gaming setup.
Be sure to act quickly because these deals are going to fly off the shelves and will not last long as supply drops. Also, check on major retailers such as Target, Best Buy, or Walmart that offer price matching and other offers up until Black Friday.
