It’s-a me, Black Friday. If you haven’t yet joined the Mario party, now’s your chance, because this year’s sale is already seeing discounts on the Nintendo Switch 2. Retailers up and down the country are busy slicing prices on consoles, bundles, games and accessories, and you won’t want to miss out.
The likes of Very, EE and Argos have already begun slashing the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 console, and are offering discounted bundles with EA Sports FC 26, Mario Kart World, Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Donkey Kong Bananza and more.
Nintendo has also kicked off its own Black Friday sale on the eShop and My Nintendo Store, with thousands of discounted Switch 2 games, bonus months for Switch Online memberships and savings on selected accessories and merch, plus a Switch 2 bundle that includes a 12-month Switch Online membership thrown in for free. Here, I’ve rounded up all the best Black Friday Nintendo Switch 2 deals to shop now.

Best Nintendo Switch 2 Black Friday deals:
Nintendo Switch 2: Was £395.99, now £385.99, Argos.co.uk
Sound the alarm. Argos has just discounted the standalone Nintendo Switch 2 console, making it the first retailer to do so since the console first launched over the summer. Sure, it’s only a £10 saving, but to get a discount on the console this early in its life cycle is absolutely unheard of. It’s the small things that really make the Nintendo Switch 2 such a brilliant system, as I noted in my Nintendo Switch 2 review. The magnetic Joy-Cons, the improved mic, the snappier UI, GameChat, and accessibility – the small upgrades just make using it more enjoyable to play day to day.
Nintendo Switch 2 with ‘Mario Kart World’: Was £429, now £409.99, Argos.co.uk
The Nintendo Switch 2’s official bundle with Mario Kart World has just received its first-ever price cut ahead of Black Friday. Amazon has slashed the price of the bundle to just £409, a saving of £20. That essentially means you pay just £10 for the game. Mario Kart World sees big updates to its predecessor, which tech critic Steve Hogarty put to the test in his review.
“Players can now roam anywhere in a wide-open world, with grand prix tournaments charting long routes,” he said. “The maximum number of racers is also doubled to a chaotic 24 karts, and a new Battle Royale-style knockout mode sees players competing to stay in the race, with slower racers knocked out each lap.”
Nintendo Switch 2 with ‘Mario Kart World’, 12-month Nintendo Switch Online and Yoshi Christmas ornament: Was £488.96, now £429.99, Nintendo.co.uk
Nintendo has just kicked off its own Black Friday sale, and if you buy the official Mario Kart World bundle, the gaming giant will throw in a free 12-month Nintendo Switch Online membership, something you’ll need if you want to race online with friends or compete against others around the world. And because Nintendo is full of festive cheer, it’s also chucking in a free Yoshi Christmas ornament worth £7.99. Altogether, you’re saving £58.97 compared with buying everything individually.
Nintendo Switch 2 with ‘Mario Kart World’ and ‘Donkey Kong Bananza’: Was £489, now £439, Very.co.uk
There aren’t too many Switch 2 exclusive games out right now, but if you want to pair a Switch 2 console with two exclusives, then Very currently has a pretty tasty bundle deal on the Nintendo Switch 2. You get Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza for just £22 each – that’s half price for the two games. Both appear on my and gaming correspondent Jake Brigstock’s list of the best Switch 2 games.
Refurbished Nintendo Switch OLED 64GB: Was £209, now £195.95, Backmarket.co.uk
Not only does a refurbished Switch OLED save you £90 versus buying a brand-new one, but with Back Market's extra 8 per cent discount (using code "GIFT4UUK"), you'll benefit from a saving of more than £100, compared with buying a fresh-out-the-box device. When I put the OLED through its paces, I loved the sleek, modern feel of the console with its premium glass display. This Back Market early Black Friday discount ends on 23 November, so act fast if it's a deal you want to snap up.
Nintendo Switch 2 with ‘Mario Kart World’ and two Goji Joy-Con racing wheels: Was £432, now £409, Currys.co.uk
Like Amazon, Currys has slashed the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle by £20 for Black Friday. But to sweeten the deal even further, the retailer is also throwing in two pairs of Goji Joy-Con wheel attachments for absolutely nothing. If you’re a die-hard Mario Kart fan and want it to feel like you’re actually racing around the circuit in your living room, this is the bundle to get.
Nintendo Switch 2 with ‘Pokemon Legends: Z-A’: Was £454.99, now £429.99, Very.co.uk
This bundle pairs the Nintendo Switch 2 console with the all-new Pokemon Legends: Z-A game for just £430, meaning you’re getting the game for just £30 instead of the usual £55 when bought separately. “There’s a new active battle system, and the game takes place entirely within Lumiose City – the heart of the Kalos region first introduced in Pokemon X & Y,” we said in our roundup of the best Switch 2 games. “Don’t be put off by the single setting, though. Lumiose feels expansive, detailed and packed with things to see and do. Z-A is fantastic fun, offering plenty to keep Pokemon fans hooked long after the credits roll.”
Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 controllers: Was £41.99, now £34.99, Very.co.uk
Nintendo’s all-new Joy-Con 2 controllers have just received their first-ever price cut at Very thanks to Black Friday. If you need a second pair to game with your friends and family on the couch, you’ll want to pick these up in the sale. “The rumble has been improved (HD Rumble 2 is noticeably more precise), and the big new feature is the addition of mouse-style motion controls,” gaming correspondent Jake and I said in our review. “The new dedicated GameChat button is a nice touch too, letting you quickly mute or jump into a chat during online games, something Nintendo’s never really tackled before.”
'Super Mario Party Jamboree' and 'Jamboree TV' Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: Was £67, now £55, Ee.co.uk
EE has discounted one of the first OG Switch titles to get an official Switch 2 upgrade: Super Mario Party Jamboree. Plus, the new Jamboree TV: Switch 2 Edition adds a full extra mode built around the console’s upgraded hardware. It features 20 new mini-games that use the Switch 2’s camera, microphone and motion controls – your face can even appear on screen.
Nintendo Switch 2 pro controller: Was £74.99, now £67.99, Ee.co.uk
If you want to take your Nintendo Switch 2 experience up a gear, I highly recommend picking up the Nintendo Switch 2 pro controller. Currently on offer with a modest saving of £7 at the EE Store, the all-new pro controller includes a new chat button, mappable GL and GR buttons and an audio jack for wired headphones. It's a more comfortable controller for Switch gamers.
‘EA Sports FC 26’, Nintendo Switch 2: Was £49.99, now £27.85, Amazon.co.uk
Football fans can save a huge 54 per cent on the latest entry in EA’s football series this Black Friday. EA Sports FC 26 is the most realistic-looking instalment in the franchise yet, with improved animations, sharper visuals and new gameplay that makes every match feel more authentic. There are now new manager career live challenges, where players can earn rewards by tackling real-world scenarios, and alternative storylines that can span from quick sessions to full multi-season campaigns.
‘Hogwarts Legacy’ digital deluxe edition: Was £59.99, now £8.99, Nintendo.com
Harry Potter fans, Nintendo has just slashed the price of Hogwarts Legacy by a huge 85 per cent in its Black Friday sale. The game takes place a whole century before Harry Potter steps foot inside Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and several decades before the rise of Lord Voldemort, seeing gamers take the role of a fifth-year student who holds the key to an ancient secret that threatens to tear the wizarding world apart.
When will Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals start?
As always, Black Friday will take place on the Friday after Thanksgiving in the US. This year, Black Friday falls on Friday 28 November. Officially, the deals will end on Cyber Monday (1 December), but no one really sticks to the official dates anymore.
For years now, Black Friday has pretty much lasted throughout the month of November, and that’s not changing in 2025. Currys, Argos and Very have all started their Black Friday sales early this year. You can expect expect deals to land on the the official My Nintendo Store from 20 November.
The best Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals to expect in 2025
Last year’s Nintendo Black Friday deals weren’t particularly exciting. The only discounts available were on bundles, which were lacklustre compared with the year before.
The Nintendo Switch OLED bundle with Super Mario Bros. Wonder and 12 months of Switch Online for £289.99 was the highlight but, beyond that, the price cuts were lacking. The Lite dropped by little more than a tenner at most shops, Super Mario Odyssey went down to £37.99, but I didn’t see the original console get any discount at all.
That’s why I think this year could be the big one for Nintendo Switch deals. Now that the Nintendo Switch 2 is out, retailers have every reason to clear their shelves of the Nintendo Switch OLED and original console, and that should hypothetically translate into the best discounts we’ve seen.
That doesn’t mean we won’t see Nintendo Switch 2 deals, however. In fact, Very has already slashed the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 console by £20 ahead of Black Friday, almost guaranteeing bigger discounts on the next-gen machine later next month. I’m also hoping to see new bundle deals on the Nintendo Switch 2, potentially a bundle deal that throws in Mario Kart World and a three-month Switch Online membership for the same price as the console on its own.
