Black Friday Nintendo Switch Deals in 2024: Holiday discounts offered all year

Nintendo Switch deals in 2024: what to expect

Since 2017 when the Nintendo Switch was first released, it has always cost $299.99 and 7 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 2023, 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, Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Super Mario Bros Wonder, as well as other popular $60 games).

In 2024, 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/or a Switch Online membership, which usually saves you around $50-80.

A better option is to let everyone else fight over the 'best' Holiday deals, while you save on a refurbished Nintendo Switch console any time of the year. You can find savings on Back Market where we currently have Nintendo Switch consoles starting at $228*. This will allow you to save on 24% 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'.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy a Nintendo Switch?

Yes and no. You'll definitely find ways to save on Holiday deals starting as early as October. We're already seeing the bundle deals mentioned above at some big retailers. This is ideal, especially if you already know you want a popular Nintendo game to go along with your Switch purchase. It's worth noting, this early into the season, the only bundle deal I've found is for Mario Kart 8. You'll likely find more games get bundled the longer you wait.

However, if you have other games you want to invest in and are really just looking for the best price on a Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite or Switch OLED, then you don't need to wait for Black Friday or Cyber Monday. You can get the best discounts all year long on Nintendo products by shopping for verified refurbished consoles on Back Market, where we ensure quality is just like new for a fraction of the price of new.

What's the cheapest price for a Nintendo Switch?

This year, you can find the cheapest prices for any Nintendo Switch model on Back Market.

Nintendo Switch Lite Black Friday deals

The best Nintendo Switch Lite deal you can get right now is on Back Market for $180* or $19 off on a 10% discount.

In 2023, we saw retailers drop Nintendo Switch Lite prices down to around $175** for $25 off or a 12.5% discount during the Black Friday sales season. This year, you can expect much of the same as Nintendo has not changed the retail price of the Switch Lite.

Nintendo Switch OLED Black Friday deals

The best Nintendo Switch OLED deal you can get right now is on Back Market for $270* or $80 off on a 22% discount.

In 2023, we saw retailers drop Nintendo Switch OLED prices down to around $315** for $35 off or a 10% discount during the Black Friday sales season. Some of these deals included a popular game, which would save you an additional $60. Again, you'll find similar deals in 2024 since Nintendo has not changed the retail price of the Switch OLED.

**Lowest price deals found on popular retail sites in Nov 2023 including Walmart, Best Buy, Target and Amazon.

Bottom line: Get Nintendo deals on Black Friday OR any time of year

Ultimately, if you're waiting for the Holiday sales season, you're going to find ways to save on the Nintendo Switch by bundling it with a game or a free Nintendo Online offer. You can also get deals up to 25% off on the console itself any time of the year when you shop on a certified refurbished marketplace like Back Market.

Are Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals worth it?

Yes, Nintendo Switch deals during the Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales seasons are worth it, particularly if you're already interested in a popular game that is normally included with a console bundle. However, it may not be worth it if you're not interested in these pre-downloaded games because you likely won't find any deals under the console's retail value.

However, if you're simply looking for the lowest cost Nintendo Switch, then you don't have to wait for Black Friday for a worthwhile deal. The best deals are found on Back Market, where you'll get a discounted Switch console that performs as good as new and comes with free standard shipping, a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 1-year warranty.
