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, on Wednesday 6th November, we had the first update in a while on the mysterious Nintendo Switch 2, set for release in 2025.
In a statement, Nintendo 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.

£199.99£173 (save £26.99 or 13%) at Amazon - Buy Nintendo Switch for

Does Nintendo participate in Black Friday sales?
Yes. Nintendo has now officially launched its Black Friday sale which will run until the 12th January.
Nintendo's own store doesn't feature any discounts on the Switch, Switch OLED or Switch Lite, but instead has savings on accessories and games, as well as bundles with Nintendo online membership, or additional gifts – like this lovely Wii Sports water bottle!
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 £8 discount at Amazon, but we're still hopeful that a bigger deal will drop over the next week.
