Nintendo’s Black Friday sale knocks $30 off Switch classics

Nintendo rarely offers big discounts on its own games and gear throughout the year, but opportunities to save are coming soon. The company announced that multiple retailers will offer discounts of up to $30 off of beloved Switch games, as well as temporary price cuts on its amiibo figures, and a $20 off discount on microSD Express cards that are only compatible with the Switch 2.

These discounts begin at slightly different times. If you’re shopping for games digitally through your Switch or Switch 2, you can get the jump on deals in Nintendo’s Cyber Deals sale starting November 20th and lasting through December 3rd at 11:59 PM PT.

Notably, there are no deals on Nintendo Switch 2-exclusive titles; however, Echoes of Wisdom, Super Mario Odyssey, and Splatoon 3 all offer a downloadable Switch 2 update for free with purchase. Those updates generally provide smoother gameplay at higher resolutions on the newer handheld.

If you’re into collecting amiibo, Nintendo will also offer discounts on select models, including Tulin, Yunobo, and Ruji from The Legend of Zelda series, along with Street Fighter 6 figures of Jamie, Kimberly, and Luke. Finally, starting November 30th, Nintendo stores in New York and San Francisco, along with select retail stores, will offer $20 off Samsung microSD Express cards, so presumably, you’ll be able to get the $59.99 256GB for $39.99.
