Best Deals This Week
Nintendo Switch and $30 Best Buy E-Gift Card | $300
The best deal you're likely to find on a Nintendo Switch right now includes the new model of the console (which has improved battery life over the launch model) and a $30 Best Buy e-gift card. If you're a big Best Buy shopper, you're essentially getting a Switch for $270, which is a pretty good deal.
Nintendo Switch Lite And Pokemon Sword | $230
One of the best deals for Pokemon fans is back at Ebay: You can get a Switch Lite and a copy of Pokemon Sword for $230 right now--a $30 savings over buying them separately.
Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons (Gray or Neon Red/Blue) | $69
Nintendo's pricey Joy-Con controllers are down to $70 at Walmart, which is a nice savings of $10.
Nintendo Switch NES Controllers | $30
Until January 31, Nintendo is discounting its NES-style Joy-Cons to $30 ($60) for Nintendo Switch Online members. You must log into Nintendo's website and have a valid membership active to take advantage of this deal.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening | $49
Cyber Monday at Ebay means you can get this year's remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for $49. That's quite the deal for one of the Switch's best games of 2019.
The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild | $50
Certainly a contender for greatest game of all time, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild rarely drops lower than $45-$50 these days, and it's still often sold at full price. Walmart has physical copies available for $50.
Astral Chain | $50
It's been around for a little while, but getting a copy of Astral Chain, PlatinumGames' new action game exclusive to Switch, for $50 is still a pretty good deal, especially considering it came out back in August.
Super Mario Maker 2 | $50
Another great first-party Nintendo titles from earlier this year, Super Mario Maker 2 is one of the most impressive creative suites in a game, and it's all based around some of the best platformers of all time. Grab it for $50 at Amazon
Mario Tennis Aces | $50
I'm not going to mimic my favorite retired plumber for this one. That said, Mario Tennis Aces is a good Mario sports game, and the only one available on Switch at this time. Like Breath of the Wild, this deal is digital-only, and it's only at Amazon.
Splatoon 2 | $52
Though Splatoon 2 is more than two years old, it's still one of the very best multiplayer games on Switch. In addition to its highly entertaining online multiplayer suite, it has a pretty good single-player campaign and a fun cooperative mode. For Cyber Week, you can find Splatoon 2 on sale for $52 at Amazon.
Super Mario Party | $50
Every Nintendo console needs at least one Mario Party game to ruin friendships and cause emotional anguish at every unlucky break. Super Mario Party, while not one of the best games in the series, is still a good party game to play with friends and family. It has numerous different game modes and puts some fun spins on the classic board game format. Super Mario Party can only be played with one Joy-Con per person, so you may want to take advantage of the aforementioned Joy-Con deal if you pick up this game. Amazon, has digital copies of the game on sale for $50.
Octopath Traveler | $50
A lovingly-crafted ode to early-90s role-playing games, Octopath Traveler is one of the best turn-based games on Switch. The gorgeous art style features a clever blend of 2D sprites and 3D polygons and the combat is appropriately retro without feeling dated. Most of the Cyber Monday discounts are gone at this point, but you can get it at Walmart and Amazon for $50 right now.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition | $45
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt only recently released on Nintendo Switch, but you can save $15 at Walmart right now. Geralt's brilliant third adventure doesn't look quite as pretty on Switch, it's still amazing that you can bring this massive action-RPG on the go with you. Since it's the Complete Edition, you get all of the stellar DLC, too.
