Nintendo outlined some of its plans for Black Friday 2019 today. One deal, which is returning from last year, bundles the Switch console together with a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for $299.99. Much like last year though, you’ll be getting the old Switch model.

Nintendo clarified that the Switch model consumers will be getting is HAC-001. That’s the system with battery performance ranging from 2.5 to 6.5 hours. A few months ago, a new and improved Switch came to market as model HAC-001(-01) featuring battery life between 4.5 – 9 hours.
