Every year, retailers toss a Switch on sale, and it’s usually a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle or a Mario Odyssey set. You’ll see the price tag drop from $299 to about $259, which is basically the same feeling as finding a $50 bill in last winter’s coat.
It’s not a life-changing discount—no one’s buying a yacht with the savings—but it’s enough to make you feel like a genius. You’ll walk out of the store (or click “checkout” from your couch) with the same smug energy as someone who parallel parked on the first try.
The Real Struggle: Choosing Your Bundle
Here’s the thing: every Black Friday, you have to pick a path. Do you go for the OLED model with a slightly bigger screen, or the original Switch that’s been through more software updates than your phone? My advice? If you’ve ever squinted at a screen on a sunny airplane window, splurge for the OLED. It’s like upgrading from a flashlight to a floodlight.
But honestly, the best part isn’t the hardware—it’s the accessories you’ll inevitably buy. A carrying case shaped like a Yoshi egg? Yes. A grip that makes the Joy-Cons feel like an actual controller? Absolutely. You’ll spend $20 on a case and feel like you’ve unlocked a new life skill.
