Black Friday deals are already dropping, despite the event itself still being a few weeks away. But will there be discounts on the ever-popular Nintendo Switch? The RadioTimes.com<\/a> team are on hand to investigate and help you find a deal.<\/p>\n

Nintendo\u2019s hybrid console has seen enduring popularity since its first release in 2017. It appeals across age ranges with a huge library of games and \u2014 though it lacks the power of PlayStation and Xbox alternatives \u2014 the Switch offers some amazingly immersive gaming experiences.<\/p>\n

In 2021, we saw the release of the updated Nintendo Switch OLED. It offers the same tech that gamers know and love with a larger, clearer OLED display, so your favourite games look better than ever. If you\u2019re looking for a cheaper option, there\u2019s also the Switch Lite from 2019. The Lite model is a great handheld but doesn\u2019t offer the docking capabilities of the other editions.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be hunting down deals on the standard Switch, the Switch Lite and the Switch OLED as Black Friday<\/a> approaches.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re looking for family-friendly racing fun with the likes of Mario Kart and Splatoon 2, or hellish gory action with Doom and Dark Souls Remastered, there\u2019s something for everyone amongst the best Nintendo Switch games<\/a>. That\u2019s why the console has had such longevity.<\/p>\n

Add to that its hybrid nature \u2014 it can be used as a handheld portable games platform or docked and used as a traditional console \u2014 and you\u2019re onto a winner.<\/p>\n

If that sounds good, read on for our guide to finding and bagging a Black Friday Nintendo Switch deal.<\/p>\n

Will there be Nintendo Switch deals this Black Friday?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s the bad news: Nintendo Switch consoles hold their value very well because of their amazingly long-lived popularity. Having launched at \u00a3279.99, the standard price of a standard Nintendo Switch now is \u00a3259.99. Yes, it\u2019s only dropped \u00a320 in five years.<\/p>\n

Essentially it\u2019s a battle of supply and demand. High demand is keeping Switch prices from being slashed too readily during the seasonal sales, but given the ageing technology, it wouldn\u2019t be a complete surprise to see some better deals on Nintendo\u2019s hybrid consoles this year.<\/p>\n

Oddly, for deals hunters, it\u2019s the OLED and Lite models that are seeing more notable price-slashing at the moment.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the standard model, right now, that normal price is hanging on in there, but as Black Friday approaches we do expect to see one or two deals. We\u2019ll update this page as and when they arrive.<\/p>\n
