Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals have just been announced - including this bundle299 bundle

Nintendo has released its Black Friday Nintendo Switch sale deals. While the deals won't run until November 21, Nintendo has already confirmed what discounts will be available on the Nintendo Switch console and various first-party games.

The most prominent one is the Black Friday Bundle, a $299 package that includes a regular Nintendo Switch console, a digital copy of "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe," and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online membership. The bundle is a $70 savings and essentially includes the game and online membership at no additional cost.

These aren't the only deals Nintendo has announced. Some games will also be discounted by $20. These are not bargain titles either; some of the best Nintendo Switch games are included in this campaign, including "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "Splatoon 2". The campaign will run from November 21 through November 27, the day after Black Friday.

Other deals running from November 21-27 include a $40 discount on Mario Kart Live: all of these deals are subject to availability and are offered by participating retailers, so they are not exclusive to the Nintendo Store.

The Nintendo Switch Black Friday Bundle is not a new promotion and has been held in previous years, but it is a welcome return. It's rare to get any sort of discount on Nintendo's hugely popular home console/portable console hybrid, so the $70 discount is hard to pass up.

Unfortunately, the odds of the Nintendo Switch OLED being discounted are virtually nil, but some retailers may restock the Nintendo Switch OLED to celebrate the annual sales event. Since Nintendo's refreshed Switch has been out of stock since its launch, its availability at retail prices should essentially be considered a bargain.

These promotions from Nintendo are not the only Black Friday gaming deals available in the coming weeks. In fact, several retailers have already launched price reduction promotions on Switch games and accessories.
