Original Article: Nintendo has provided a sneak peek preview at some of the Black Friday offers that will be available this year from 20th November. There looks to be discounts on Switch console bundles, a selection of games and there are even savings to be had on Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit!
The headline offer this year (as is to be expected) is the Neon Red/Blue Switch console bundled up with a download code for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a three month Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership for a suggested retail price of $299.99.
Elsewhere, Nintendo will be offering $20 discounts on a whole host of popular titles including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Mario Party Superstars and many more. That brings these games down to $39.99 during the sale period. Bigger savings can be made on Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, which is being chopped by $40 for a suggested retail price of $59.99.
There are also bargains a-plenty on LEGO Mario sets (many of which are seeing a 20% discount), and big offers applied to party titles WarioWare: Get it Together! and Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain.
What products do you have your eye on this year? Let us know what you are after in the comments below!

Have my eye on Mario Party and Mario Kart...
Maybe even BOTW if i have the money
I'll keep an eye out for the deals the closer we get to Black Friday, but I doubt I'll do any major spending this year.
With Tactics Ogre dropping next week, and hopefully new Splatoon 3 content coming sooner rather than later, I'm set for gaming until 2023.
I wish I have some money to buy a PS5 machine with discounted price.
It might be too soon, but I hope Kirby and the Forgotten Land is included.
Cool, but the same 20$ discount chop for the last three years.
Cool, $20 off games that are several years old. Nintendo always offers such generous discounts.
Removed - unconstructive
should be less than $30
I’ll finally grab three hopes
@Anti-Matter Were still 2-3 years away from PS5 discounts
Maybe I’ll pick up Brain Vs. Brain, since i really liked the original Big Brain Academy.
So question for Fire Emblem fans: is Three Hopes worth getting? I started Three Houses, but never made much progress because I was playing other games at that point, but I do want to pick it up again, but is it a good idea to either play this after getting to the time skip or after playing Houses? I didn't want to pick this one up at full price, but seeing that it's getting a discount is making me feel tempted.
Recently bought Bravely Default 2 physically for €19,99 on a sale, brand new. Over a hundred hours in now, and it's been well worth it. The digital discounts of Nintendo are bad though, and I've actually skipped many first party and big third party releases whereas I used to buy all of them (up until late Wii U / 3DS). Anyway, I haven't noticed any lack of great games to play, even after I dropped my average price per game a lot, digitally to below €5 on average, physically about 20 to 25 on average.
I might get Link's Awakening. I'll be keeping tabs on this sale, as they will likely add other titles to the sale. Too bad the sale is never more than $20 off, though it could also be less of a discount.
I will sit on my funds until we get closer to BF. Looking at the leaked ads though I may not be buying many games this year.
I'm set on games for awhile, but I might cave for The Mighty Bowser LEGO set if that's included with the discounts. 🤔
$20 per game please. Is that unrealistic nowadays? Heaven help us if it is.
I’m hoping to see discounts on the two ninja turtles games that came out this year.
@KayFiOS
It is a Warriors game at its core. That said, it has more in common with Three Houses than, for instance, Age of Calamity has with BoTW.
You can choose class (moveset) for each character, assign special abilities, equip particular weapons and combat arts, and direct CPU-controlled units across the stage.
The best thing to do is just play the free demo. Choose your favorite house and give it a whirl.
@Tyranexx I think it will be if you're a VIP on the Lego store site.
I'm 100% though, just going off what they've done before from what I remember.
Need more discounts on 1st party digital. Would love to get my kids Mario Party, but not physical where the cart will get lost before New Years.
Reminds me of that meme of the dad opening a gift containing the same shirt he is currently wearing. That dad is all smiles.
I want to see discounts on Luigi's Mansion 3 and Metroid Dread (physical), it's time for a $20 discount.
@nukatha Oh I didn't know there was a demo. If it does as good a job at integrating the source material's mechanics into the Warriors gameplay like Persona 5 Strikers, then I might have a really good time with it then. I'll definitely try that demo!
cowabunga collection & mario rabbids 2 are the main two for me.
And those whom got already too late.
@strollin_stu played it on my wii u, but never finished it.
I'll definitely pick up MK Live: Home Circuit thats a steal
Oh, look. More not-really-that-great-of-a-deal discounts on first-party games.
I just want a deal on Mario Odyssey, been locked out of it ever since my brother got an OLED and set it to be his primary Switch (I love console bundles coming with digital game codes so much!!!)
I've been wanting the ports of DK Tropical Freeze and Super Mario 3D World/Bowser's Fury. But good grief they almost never go on sale--I've seen both for $50 (Wal-Mart in-store price), but honestly I'd like to see them under $30 but would buy for $40. I'm not paying $60 for games that came out in 2013 and 2014!
Only thing included I'm really all that curious about that I don't already have is Bravely Default 2 and I dunno if I'm $40 curious about it given how widely meh its reception was.
Probably just wait and see what third party deals there are.
@Kermit1 I see. The main thing that's kept me from picking up the set is the price. The ? Mario Block set was a fun build, but was definitely cheaper. In fact, that one went up a little in price as well because thanks post-pandemic woes + inflation.
@Tyranexx I haven't gotten any of the Lego Mario sets because of the price and I don't have a phone to sync up Mario and co.
@Kermit1 Oh no, I haven't grabbed any of the regular Mario sets - I find his larger size and appearance off-putting - but I'll gladly make an exception for King Bowser.
@Tyranexx I would too... It costs more than a Switch lol
Sigh. Nintendo Selects. Where are you?
Whatever happened to Nintendo dropping prices on games like Sony and Microsoft? I miss $39.99 N64 games and $19.99 DS games.
Nintendo knows they don’t need to 90% discount their 1st parties when people are still happily buying their first parties from years ago full price to this day.
Well, technically the games cost less than they did at release, discount or not, due to inflation.
(But only if wages rose at the same rate)
I never wait for sale on any Nintendo published game. I buy all i want on day 1.
Local stores sells new Switch games for up to 25-30% less than digital versions, so there is no point in waiting on sale for me.
while I'm glad they're going on sale at all, some of these "sales" are underwhelming to say the least, especially for the older 1st party Switch games. BOTW and other titles have been out for 3-5 years now and should be on sale for $30 if not, dare I say, $20 for a BF sale.
Guys, Why Nintendo US black Friday offers says "Black Friday Offer for digital and physical games" while I couldn't find any digital offer yet ?
