Nintendo has unveiled its Black Friday 2026 lineup, headlined by a $50 discount on the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle, plus $20 off a slate of first-party games including Donkey Kong Bananza and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.
The deals arrive as holiday shoppers face higher hardware prices and tight supply on Nintendo’s most coveted console, the Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition, which sold out almost immediately when pre-orders opened in September.
From Nov. 22 through Dec. 5, the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle will sell for a suggested retail price of $499.99, down from its usual $549.99. The bundle includes a Switch 2 system, a full download of Mario Kart World and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership.
The sale effectively brings the bundle back to where it stood before Nintendo’s first Switch 2 price hike. On Sept. 1, the company raised the standalone console from its $449.99 launch price to $499.99 in the U.S., meaning the Black Friday bundle now costs the same as the console alone.
Nintendo is also highlighting the Nintendo Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Bundle, which includes the console, the game and the same three-month Switch Online membership, for $529.99.
From Nov. 22 through Nov. 29, select physical games will be $20 off the suggested retail price at retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target and Walmart. The discounted titles are:
All offers are available while supplies last.
Shoppers who want a head start can check out a digital sale on the Nintendo eShop, the Nintendo Store website and the Nintendo Store app running Nov. 19 through Dec. 2 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Nintendo has not yet revealed the full list of discounted digital titles.
The promotions will also be available at the Nintendo New York and Nintendo San Francisco stores, which will feature festive window displays and holiday decor. The flagship stores will offer exclusive merchandise inspired by Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Pikmin and Splatoon, along with a limited-time gift with purchase for shoppers who meet a minimum spend.
Nintendo is also pointing holiday buyers toward its latest Switch 2 releases, including the recently released The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy, which launched Thursday. Other recent titles include Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, Splatoon Raiders and the Pokémon Pokopia Bundle. Fans can also pre-order the upcoming Metroid Ravenous.
“With these offers and the latest games from the worlds of Nintendo, now is the best time to experience Nintendo Switch 2!” the company said in its announcement.
