Nintendo Switch deals in 2023: what to expect
Since 2017 when the Nintendo Switch was first released, it has always cost $299 and 5 years later you can still find the exact same price on the Nintendo site for a brand new console. But that doesn't mean you couldn't find ways to save on the popular gaming device over the years.
One of the best ways to find Nintendo Switch deals is by shopping during Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Last year in 2022, shoppers took advantage of bundle deals, where they could get a new console and a pre-downloaded game for around $300. So, while it was technically the same price, you basically got a game for free, which is great, but your game choices are limited (last year we saw offerings for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Ring Fit Adventure, Animal Crossing as well as other popular $60 games).
In 2023, you can expect similar Switch deals from retailers like Walmart, Target, Best Buy and Amazon: you won't find much under $300, but you'll get bundle offers for games and accessories to go along with your new Switch usually saving you around $60-80. You might also see offers for a free 3-month subscription to Nintendo Online, which sounds nice but is actually only an $8 value.
Another option is to let everyone else find and buy the new deals, while you save on a refurbished Nintendo Switch console any time of the year. Let other shoppers stress about finding the best Black Friday offer and wait in lines during the Holidays. Instead, you can find savings on Back Market where we currently have Nintendo Switch consoles starting at $239*. This will allow you to save on 16% on a Switch and still give you the flexibility to buy the game that you prefer rather than a pre-downloaded game that you have to buy in order to get a 'deal'.
