The 2018 Nintendo Black Friday Survival Guide

Hardware Deals

by Donald Theriault - November 21, 2018, 6:00 am EST

For those who don't need a used Wii U for $130.

Nintendo's stock bundles for the season were originally leaked by Target: Switch bundles will include Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, while the 2DS will have a $79.99 bundle that includes Super Mario Maker's 3DS version.

GameStop will augment the bundle, or any other Switch you buy (including the Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee bundle) with a $50 gift card, while those with access to a Kohl's store (mostly the midwestern US) can forego MK8 for a headset, carrying case and $90 in credit for $329.99.

A late challenger has appeared from Google Express: They offer a bundle of a Switch and Pokémon Let's Go (Pikachu shown) for $359.99, but with code PREBF18 you can take 20% off (final price $292).

There aren't any other 3DS family deals, but the aforementioned Kohl's will give $15 in credit with the purchase of a SNES Classic.

In the accessory realm, Turtle Beach headsets compatible with, uh, Fortnite on the Switch will be $29.99 at Best Buy, and their house brand PowerA will have Switch controllers (Pro style) for $24.99. Meijer has the deal of the day on standalone Joy-Cons at $59.99 for a set. Sound off in the comments if you find good deals on microSD cards, especially in the higher capacities.

UPDATE 9:10pm ET: ShyGuy has done just that: 256GB microSD cards for US$45 at Amazon.

Thanks for this!

I certainly don't need them, but I might pick up Fire Emblem Warriors and Bayonetta 2 for Switch.

From the eShop: The Digital Deluxe version of Starlink is down to $60. It includes all the digital versions of the ships and it's $132 if you buy everything separately.

EDIT: In addition, Warframe also has the same voice chat implementation Fortnite has. Just plug in a headset to the Switch and you're good to go.

For anyone who owns a system capable of playing them the PS1 classics versions of the Final Fantasy games are $5 a pop.

My backlog and wallet both hate me right now.

I'm curious, do these faster speeds matter with the Switch?
