Top Nintendo titles like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Pikmin 4, Kirby and the forgotten landand more will be $20 off at retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart once the sale begins. Plus, Switch accessories like Nintendo's Joy-Con controllers and Pro Controller will also be $20 off, along with a stylish Tears of the Kingdom carrying case getting a $10 discount.
All of this is likely the tip of the iceberg, as the first Black Friday deals are already underway and retailers will be holding sales on more games and hardware later today. But while it's common for retailers to be aggressive with sales during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we don't always see Nintendo extend far-reaching discounts. Given that there's a Switch successor about to launch in the new year, it's entirely possible that Nintendo will have a bit more sales this season to help retailers clear out as much stock as possible before it's inevitably replaced by hardware. and updated accessories.
While Nintendo recently clarified that the next Switch will be compatible with original Switch games, we don't yet know if that will include physical cartridge versions. I'm crossing my fingers that the next Switch maintains a cartridge slot for all my physical games, but the tide has been turning towards digital distribution for years. It's only a matter of time until one of the big three console makers launches a new generation based solely on digital titles, and with the Switch's successor approaching, Nintendo could continue the status quo for a little longer or really shake things up. .
