When is Black Friday 2024?
Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. This year, it will fall on Nov. 29, 2024. And while you may have to wait until the day-of for the very best deals and sales to go live, you can still find great early Holiday discounts at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart.
Are Nintendo Switch consoles, games, and accessories really cheaper on Black Friday?
They can be! The holiday shopping season is traditionally when you’ll see the best and most frequent discounts on gaming-related things, especially Nintendo Switch consoles and games. And if you keep a sharp eye out, you might be able to snag a retailer-specific console bundle with a digital game download or free trial for online memberships.
How did we choose these Black Friday 2024 deals?
Nintendo consoles, games, and accessories are favorites of scalpers and resellers. Especially during the holiday shopping season. Each game, accessory, and console bundle featured on this list has been vetted as being sold by a reputable retailer with a robust return/exchange policy. I’ve also focused on the biggest discounts for games and accessories, since consoles and bundles are harder to come by.
