Best Early Black Friday Deals on Nintendo Switch and Accessories
Now's a great time to get your hands on the Nintendo Switch!
So you’ve got your eye on a Nintendo Switch for the holiday season, huh? Well, too bad for you! Totally kidding. We don’t blame you—it’s one of the hottest video game consoles of 2022 thanks to its versatility and portability, as well as the popularity of games like New Pokemon Snap and Animal Crossing. Of course, that also makes the Switch one of the most popular holiday gifts for 2022, which is why they can be so stinking hard to find.
Even before the electronics and gaming industries began seeing supply chain issues, Nintendo Switches have been selling out faster than hotcakes leave the bakery. So if you are desperately trying to get your hands on one, you’ll want to be vigilant AF during Black Friday 2022. After all, it’s not only your best chance at grabbing a Switch; it’s also your best chance at scoring a substantial markdown on what normally costs a few hundred bucks. (And that doesn’t even include all the games and accessories you may buy after the fact.)

Are Nintendo Switches on sale for Black Friday?
Heed this warning: If you genuinely want a Nintendo Switch and see one in stock for a fair price (so, no more than $300), grab it instead of waiting for a better sale. Because the Nintendo Switch is so popular and so quick to sell out this holiday season, you're better off pulling the trigger now and, in the event of a future markdown, checking to see if the store you bought it from price matches later.
Where is the Nintendo Switch in stock?
Nintendo Switches are most often in stock in the following places: Amazon, Walmart, GameStop, and Target. The game consoles were quick to sell out last year, with Walmart and Best Buy pledging an online restock of the Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Bundle with an “availability window” that began on Sunday, November 21, at Best Buy and Monday, November 22, at Walmart. Similarly, Walmart had an online restock of both the PS5 and XBox Series X—two other hot consoles amongst gamers—which went live at 7 p.m. ET on November 22—and sold out within minutes!
