The versatile Nintendo Switch and its smaller, handheld-only counterpart, the Switch Lite, don’t go on sale often. In fact, it can be difficult to buy the console, which is in high demand, at all, sale or no sale.
But much to video game enthusiasts’ delight, Black Friday brings out the offers. Retailers traditionally restock and sell the Switch with a bonus game or accessory during the holiday shopping season. We're seeing the same this year. Let’s unpack the deals.

How to decide if it’s worth it
You’ll see bundle deals rather than pure discounts on the Nintendo Switch console. Still, you’ll get more for your money by purchasing a Switch during Black Friday sales than you will most other times of the year.

As is the case with other popular gaming devices, shoppers will likely scoop up the Switch fast. If you see a deal you like, don’t wait too long to pull the trigger.
