The Nintendo Switch deals we’re shopping this Cyber Monday
Save up to 50% on Nintendo Switch games, consoles and accessories for Cyber Monday 2023
The Nintendo Switch is the hit handheld of the year (and the year before this, and the year before that...) and it's on sale for Cyber Monday. There's no better time to upgrade with new games and accessories than this weekend, when prices are at their lowest and only slated to go up from here. Sales have been epic — we're talking 50% off this screen protector (it's just $8) and an amazing Mario game for $15. Set the high score for gifts this year!
Of course, if you're more of a PlayStation fan, you can definitely find deals on their games and consoles. Same goes for Xbox accessories, which are on sale today and in our roundup.
Best Black Friday Nintendo Switch console deals
Yep, it's expensive, but we promise you'd rather spring for the Switch OLED today than on any other shopping day before Dec. 25. This console boasts the best graphics to date and softens the blow of that rather large price tag with the included Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game for a bundle you absolutely cannot beat.
Reviewers say this console lives up to every promise it makes in the graphics department: "With its OLED display, the graphics are vibrant and sharp, bringing games to life with vivid colors and enhanced contrast."
Lest you think this price tag's a tad hefty, keep in mind: You'll get the Nintendo Switch, plus Mario Kart 8 Deluxe AND three months of Nintendo Switch online — an added $72 in value — all for the price of the Switch itself.
The Nintendo Switch Lite doesn't come with a dock, but it's an ideal portable console at a budget-friendly price. Normally going for $200 just for the console, this bundle includes the full game download of Animal Crossing: New Horizons — a $60 value — as well as the Switch.

Revisit the classic Sonic you know and love in a brand-new adventure. Step into the shoes of Big Blue once more as you take on Dr. Eggman and all of his nefarious schemes. Speed through the levels, play coop with friends, and explore one of the best Sonic games to come out this year.
In the sequel to the critically acclaimed Legends of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, step into the same familiar world and take to the skies to explore never-before-seen regions of Hyrule. It's all the same sort of puzzles and adventure Zelda fans love, but better. This is one of the hottest games of the year, and one of the best sales we've seen.
Octopath Traveler II is the sequel to the much-acclaimed original, back with the same beautiful HD-2D graphics and deep, intertwined storylines of the original. It also boasts multiple classes and characters to get to know with hours of fun RPG action.
In this two-pack featuring a pair of the best Pokemon games in years, you get both Scarlet and Violet. Considering that a truckload of DLC just released for both of these, it's the perfect time to pick them up, especially if you're shopping for gifts for a couple of gamers.
Best Black Friday Nintendo Switch accessory deals
Planning to get yourself a Switch? Then make sure to pick up one of these. It'll protect the screen from scratches, bumps and other potential damage, and since you get three of them, you're looking at less than $3 each That's a tiny price to pay versus the repair cost of a new screen, and it makes a great stocking stuffer.
If you have a lot of controllers, it can be tough to keep them all charged at once. This replacement dock gives you charging stands for four separate Joy-Cons, along with the Switch itself. This is one of the biggest discounts we've ever seen (although not quite the absolute lowest price).
The Switch is primarily a portable console, and this case is designed to carry everything — including the dock! It even comes with 21 game cards to keep game cartridges safe while on the go.
If you — like a lot of other players — find that the handheld experience with the Nintendo Switch is a bit less than comfortable, try out this ergonomic controller designed for people with larger hands and folks who want extended play sessions without thumb cramps.
