Black Friday is right around the corner and retailers are gearing up to get their deals out the door on the holiday sales event. That includes publishers as well. Nintendo is always one of those groups where we seldom see big sales on its first-party products until this time of year and it just recently delivered a glimpse of what we can expect. Nintendo just revealed what games, consoles, and other hardware and software players can expect to see on sale when Black Friday arrives this month.

Nintendo showed off its upcoming Black Friday sales and deals with an announcement on its Twitter and website on November 8, 2021. With Black Friday coming on November 25, 2021, Nintendo put up a full page of game deals that will be on discount at participating retailers this month. Headlining the whole thing is a Nintendo Switch Black Friday Bundle at $299.99 USD, featuring the best-selling Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and three months of Nintendo Switch Online service (not the + Expansion Pass, mind you).
