Wait a minute, before you go and waste your money on things you actually need this Black Friday like a washing machine and rent, you need to check out these Nintendo Switch/Switch 2 Black Friday deals. I'm just messing around, but there are some truly amazing early Black Friday Switch deals on controllers, accessories, and most importantly, games.
Frankly, it's great to see deals on Nintendo Switch 2 games considering it hasn't been available for that long. There's plenty of stocking fillers and backlog stuffers to choose from right now. I've also labelled which each deal is compatible with the Switch 1, Switch 2, or both consoles, so you know exactly what you're buying.

The Nintendo Switch 2 isn't getting any traditional discounts this Black Friday per se, but that doesn't mean you can't get a good deal on one. Case in point: this bundle that nets you the Nintendo Switch 2 console itself and a copy of Mario Kart World. A Switch 2 on its own is $449, and Mario Kart World alone is $79, so you're still seeing a savings of $30 by getting the bundle. If you need the Switch 2 system itself and want something great to play along with it, this is the best bet by far. You'll get hours of entertainment out of Mario Kart World and still save some cash. Win-win! Additionally, there are similar bundles to choose from that go in and out of stock, so it's best to keep checking back if there are certain games you're looking to score alongside your system.

Nice button action, amazing erganomics, and plenty of features such as complex macros, interchangable A, B, X, and Y buttons, and adjustable triggers. It's a very close call between the Pro 3 and the Ultimate 2 from 8BitDo, and don't get me started on the Arcade stick, but the Pro 3 wins for me personally. This gets picked up over my Switch Pro controller every day of the week.

Getting twice the normal storage to plug into your Nintendo Switch 2 is a godsend if you're bringing a big Nintendo Switch library with you. This 512gb Lexar option does the job well with $20.50 knocked off, so you're getting all of this extra storage for less than $100. That's enough room to fit an extra 20-51 Nintendo Switch 2 games between 10-25GB in size and even more Switch 1 titles.
