Some Great Nintendo Switch OLED Deals Are Already Available Ahead of Black Friday

Black Friday is still a few months away, but you can already get the Nintendo Switch OLED gaming handheld at signficantly discounted prices. The Switch and Switch Lite can also be found on sale, but the Switch OLED easily offers the best possible experience. The Switch OLED features a larger 7-inch display with OLED technology compared to the original Switch's 6.2-inch LCD display, a new and improved kickstand, a hard-wired ethernet port on the docking station, and an exclusive white Joy-Con color option. It's worth the $50 price premium over the original Switch console.

Nintendo Switch OLED Holiday Bundle for $349

The Nintendo Switch OLED holiday bundle is up for grabs at several retailers including Walmart, Target, and Gamestop. This isn't a preorder; your order ships out immediately. For the same price as the Switch OLED console alone, you also get a copy of Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a yearlong membership to Nintendo Switch Online. This is a much better deal than previous years, which only included Mario Kart 8 without the Switch Online membership. If you were already planning to get Mario Kart 8 (check out our "Amazing" 9.3/10 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe review), this is the deal we'd recommend that you get. If you're not interested in the racer, then you're better off getting the deal below. The included game is in the form of a digital voucher, so there's no physical copy you can sell or trade back.

Nintendo Switch OLED for $299.99

Woot! (owned by Amazon) is offering a brand new Nintendo Switch OLED gaming console for only $299.99. Unlike most other Switch OLED deals, this is not a Japanese import; instead, it's a guaranteed US model and includes a full one-year Nintendo warranty. Both color variants – white or neon red/blue Joy-Cons – are available. Amazon Prime members get free shipping, otherwise there's a $5 shipping charge.

The "Switch 2" isn't coming out anytime soon

If you're holding out on the next generation Switch console, be prepared to wait for a while longer. It turns out that the rumored console update won't be released until Q1 or Q2 of 2025, at the earliest. If you don't own a Switch, now is still a good time to join the family and gain access to all the amazing exclusive Switch games.
