Nintendo details Black Friday 2019 deals

With Black Friday 2019 quickly approaching, Nintendo has announced some of the deals it has lined up for the big shopping event.

We first heard about this through Target’s ad yesterday, but the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Switch bundle has been reconfirmed. Returning from last year, the package offers the game and console for $299.99.

Other highlights include select Switch titles for $20 off including Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, and more. The Joy-Con will be $20 off as well while the Poke Ball Plus will be lowered to just $19.99.

Here’s the full announcement from Nintendo:

With Nintendo Switch, anyone in the family can find something they are looking for – from traversing the beautiful island and trap-ridden dungeons of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, to embarking on a fantasy adventure that’s powered by real-life movements and exercise in Ring Fit Adventure, to exploring a haunted hotel and solving puzzles in Luigi’s Mansion 3.

And coming soon, Nintendo Switch owners can experience a new generation of Pokémon with the Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield games, launching on Nov. 15. Families can also fill their holiday season with some family-friendly fun by checking out the colorful adventure New Super Lucky’s Tale, launching on Nov. 8, as well as the ultimate dance game Just Dance 2020 and sports party game Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, both available now.

Nintendo Switch is also home to well-received games like Super Mario Maker 2, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, all of which can be enjoyed together with the entire family. And any game that is compatible with Handheld mode can also be played on the recently released Nintendo Switch Lite system. Nintendo Switch Lite is a dedicated handheld system that’s ideal for people who have lots of opportunities to play on the go. It’s also a great option for families who want a choice of a Nintendo Switch system that fits their play styles.
