How much will the Nintendo Switch cost on Black Friday 2024?
With the next generation of Nintendo Switch on the horizon, we reckon there will be big savings this Black Friday.
The Black Friday deals are exploding onto our screens like a Blue Shell dropped in a game of Mario Kart, with games consoles in particular undergoing huge savings. So far, we've looked at the potential price drops on the PS5 and Xbox Series X, but what about the Nintendo Switch?
Well, as of Wednesday 6th November, we've had the first update in a while on the mysterious Nintendo Switch 2, set for release in 2025.
In a statement, Nintendo has confirmed the upcoming console will be backwards compatible with your old Nintendo Switch games, meaning you won't have to re-buy all your favourite titles in the new year.
This also means that this November somewhat of a farewell tour for the original Switch – so what better time to pick up a saving?
Everyone knows that the minute a new model comes out, the old one is put out to pasture and, best of all, slashed in price. That means we're expecting a fair few discounts to come out on the Switch in the run up to Black Friday.
Below, we've looked in detail at what prices we're expecting for the Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite, as well as a few bundles we've already seen.

Does Nintendo participate in Black Friday sales?
Yes. Nintendo will participate in the Black Friday sales, although Nintendo's own store doesn't tend to feature discounts on the Switch, Switch OLED or Switch Lite.
Based on last year, the Nintendo Store mainly features bundles with free games, Nintendo online membership, or additional gifts – like this lovely Wii Sports water bottle!
Otherwise, discounts on the Nintendo Switch and other consoles can be found across some UK's biggest retailers, like Amazon, Very, John Lewis and more.

How much will the Nintendo Switch cost this Black Friday?
According to Amazon price tracker CamelCamelCamel, the Nintendo Switch dropped to £229 last November, its lowest price ever.
That's a £30 discount from its RRP of £259.99, which wasn't huge when you compared it to the £90 discounts we saw on other consoles like the PS5.
Right now, the only offer we've seen is a very slight £6 discount at Amazon. However, given the latest update that the Nintendo Switch 2 is on it's way to us, we expect there may be bigger discounts on the original Switch this time around.
It's probably no surprise to anyone that when new consoles are announced, developers like to clear out their back catalogue of old models as quickly as possible.
How much will the Nintendo Switch Lite cost this Black Friday?
We don't expect to see many discounts on the Nintendo Switch Lite thanks to its lower RRP of £199.99, although you can currently get it for £184 at Amazon.
Similarly to last year, we're mainly expecting to see the Switch Lite included in bundles with popular games, like this Animal Crossing New Horizons bundle.

How much will the Nintendo Switch OLED cost this Black Friday?
Right now the Nintendo Switch OLED is cheaper than its RRP (£309.99) across most UK retailers. The cheapest price we've found is at Amazon where it's £275, however, you can also get it for £299 at Argos, John Lewis and more.
The Nintendo Switch OLED hit its lowest price in March this year when it dropped to £259.95, so we're not betting on seeing it go lower than that this November.
