Rather than spending Black Friday hunting for deals, spend it hunting for gold coins, power-ups and treasure! Nintendo has plenty of ways to get you into the game this year, including deals on select Joy-Con controllers, select games and special in-store events to make it easier than ever to bring the Nintendo Switch family of systems to your family this season.

Ah yes, Nintendo "sales". They are always sh1t. Their games rarely go on sale below $40. $40 is NOT a sale price to me. A few rare times I've seen Switch games hit $30, and back in the Wii U days there were "Nintendo Selects" which were games that sold a certain amount, so Nintendo dropped their prices to about $25. I appreciated that. But otherwise, naaaaw, Nintendo prefers to sell you even old games at too-high prices. Nothing like I am used to on PC, where within 6 months to a year you can see prices fall drastically on games due to sales. I've seen PC games go on sale for 50% off or more just a few months after release. And I've seen full-price games go on sale for as little as $5 a year later. My sweet spot for buying games is between $5 and $20. Shiat, even on the other consoles you can find good sales prices. Almost every PS4 game I have I paid $10 for or less, and those are for brand-new copies, and most of those are physical copies. I've seen a lot of PS5 games already drop to $30 or $20 within just a couple years (which is one reason why I refuse to pay full price for PC ports of those games). So f*ck you Nintendo. Get with the program or continue to wonder why people are grabbing community demos of your games, and playing them on PC via emulation and getting a far superior experience.
