Nintendo of America announced its 2026 Black Friday offers on November 12. The headline deal is a Switch 2 and Mario Kart World bundle at $499.99, running November 22 to December 5, plus $20 off select physical games from November 22 and a digital sale from November 19. Black Friday itself is Friday, November 27, 2026, the day after Thanksgiving. All details below are US offers in US dollars, from Nintendo’s announcement as reported by Nintendo Everything and 9to5Toys, and Nintendo’s own Black Friday page.
Nintendo Black Friday 2026 deals: dates at a glance
- November 19 to December 2: digital sale on the Nintendo eShop and Nintendo Store, ending at 11:59 p.m. PT.
- November 22 to December 5: Switch 2 and Mario Kart World bundle offer.
- November 22 to November 29: $20 off select Switch 2 and Switch games, while supplies last.
- November 27: Black Friday.
Nintendo’s page still marks the offers “coming soon” with a start date of 11/22/26, so nothing is on sale yet.
Switch 2 Black Friday bundle deals
- Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle: $499.99. Nintendo’s announcement calls this a $50 saving. It includes the Switch 2 system, a full download of Mario Kart World and a 3-month (90-day) Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership, which per Nintendo’s page auto-renews at the then-current price unless cancelled. Nintendo’s page words the offer as “an additional $50” off the bundle until December 5. The sources also say it will be on the Nintendo Store website.
- Nintendo Switch 2 + Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Bundle: $529.99. Nintendo Everything lists this with a $27.98 saving and the same 90-day membership. The sources we read give no date range for this one.
One caution on the “saving”: Nintendo’s own 2025 Black Friday announcement listed the Mario Kart World bundle at $499.99 as well. The sources for this year do not state the bundle’s current regular price, so we cannot say what the $50 is measured against. Check the price at checkout.
Black Friday Nintendo Switch games on sale
From November 22 to November 29, Nintendo says select Switch 2 and Switch games are $20 off suggested retail price, while supplies last, at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Walmart and both Nintendo US stores. 9to5Toys says first-party games start at $40. The titles named so far:
- Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
- Donkey Kong Bananza
- Kirby Air Riders
- Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Switch)
- Nintendo Switch versions of Super Mario Party Jamboree and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
Nintendo’s page names Donkey Kong Bananza and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition as examples and shows savings amounts rather than final prices. Both outlets say more deals may follow than Nintendo has announced so far.
Digital sale and store events
The digital sale runs from November 19 to December 2 on the eShop, the Nintendo Store website and the Nintendo Store app. The announcement as reported does not list titles or discount levels yet. Nintendo NEW YORK and Nintendo SAN FRANCISCO will also have holiday displays and a limited-time gift with a minimum purchase, while supplies last, according to Nintendo Everything.
When does Nintendo usually announce Black Friday deals?
Last year Nintendo published its Black Friday and Cyber Monday announcement on its own site on November 10, 2025. That 2025 post listed the Switch 2 at $449.99 with no discount, a digital sale from November 20 to December 3, physical game deals from November 23, $10 off select amiibo and $20 off Samsung microSD Express cards from November 30. This year’s announcement came two days later, on November 12.
