Get your shopping carts ready, gamers! These Nintendo Switch Black Friday sales are going to move fast — like Mario-vs.-Sonic fast.

After much anticipation, Walmart has at last released its Black Friday Nintendo Switch bundle that includes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a three-month membership to Nintendo Online for $299. The bundle, at a $367 value, is the yearly deal that gamers have to look forward to as well as the absolute best chance for fans of Nintendo to score the never-on-sale Switch remotely marked down.

Even without the price cut, having the Nintendo Switch back in stock would be a big deal already — the console has become unprecedentedly sought-after due to increased demand for indoor entertainment during the coronavirus pandemic. Inventory for the Switch has been spotty at best, and the only solid chance of scoring one would be refreshing landing pages at retailers like Best Buy and Amazon constantly. The Animal Crossing-themed edition is currently in stock at Best Buy, but if history is any indication, it'll be gone again any minute.

The Switch Lite, a.k.a. the smaller sibling of the Switch, has become a rare commodity these past few months, too, but shoppers can now find it fully in stock at Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon — and on sale to boot! Amazon is offering bundles of the Switch Lite with microSD cards that increase its storage for up to $16 off, with the bundles valued up to $240 for options with the largest microSD storage size.

Ultimate, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and Pokemon Sword plus Shield on sale for up to 75 percent off. Games are as little as $15, and even accessories, like the Pro Controller and extra Joy-Cons, are marked down by as much as $20. You can even get a bundle with the Pro Controller and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on sale.

With the Nintendo Switch being one of the most popular Black Friday items each year, we expect these deals to go fast. Hurry and shop below.

  • Small far-right groups gather at US statehouses ahead of inauguration

    Law enforcement and media outnumber members of ‘Boogaloo Bois’ as only a handful of armed men show up to demonstrations Members of the ‘Boogaloo Bois’ protest against the election of Joe Biden in Lansing, Michigan, on 17 January. Photograph: Rebecca Cook/Reuters At heavily fortified state capitals across the United States on Sunday, law enforcement and media outnumbered protesters, with only a handful of armed men showing up to planned rightwing demonstrations. Following the pro-Trump insurrection at the US Capitol on 6 January, governors in many states had mobilized the national guard, erected fences around government buildings, and in some cases even cancelled official business, amid warnings from law enforcement agencies of armed protests in all 50 states ahead of Joe Biden’s inauguration. On Sunday, the only far-right groups that were visible at the protests were the ones who had first promoted the event: members of the “Boogaloo Bois”, an extremist pro-gun and anti-government movement fixated on a coming civil war. Their desire to make the protest happen across all 50 states was not realized, and even in the states where protests took place, they were unable to muster significant numbers. In Salem, Oregon, where the state capitol was breached in December, and where dozens of far-right protesters clashed with Oregon state police on 1 January, the entire protest consisted of eight heavily armed Boogaloo Bois, compared with more than 20 reporters. In Lansing, Michigan, where the state’s capitol was also breached by armed men in April, and where men with alleged Boogaloo ties were charged in a plot to kidnap the Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer, this fall, about a dozen Boogaloo Bois showed up to protest, according to local news reports. One journalist estimated the Boogaloo Bois stayed for about 30 minutes.

Several identified themselves as part of the Boogaloo movement. In Colorado, there were a handful of Boogaloo Bois at the state capitol, and in New Hampshire, there were five, the New York Times reported. In Arizona, there were about 10 protesters at the state capitol, the Arizona Republic reported, with two men captured in photographs wearing the Hawaiian shirts paired with a military-style rifle that the Boogaloo Bois chose as their uniform. Since June, prosecutors have charged multiple Boogaloo Bois in a series of violent incidents, including the alleged murders of a federal security officer and a sheriff’s deputy in California, an alleged plot to set off molotov cocktails at a Black Lives Matter protest in Las Vegas, and the alleged plot to kidnap a Democratic governor of Michigan. View from Lansing, MI https://t.co/syDrL5Kv4n— Anna Liz Nichols (@annaliznichols) January 17, 2021 Asked in a text message about the limited success of the protests on Sunday, Southern Poverty Law Center spokesman Michael Edison Hayden said: “Boogaloo adherents voiced quixotic plans for Sunday. They ran up against obstacles in achieving them in the aftermath of the violence on 6 January and lost access to websites they typically use to bring crowds together.” An influential Boogaloo movement website that analysts said had first advertised the national protests on Sunday was taken offline last week. And amid fallout from the Capitol riot, Sunday’s protests themselves had become a point of contention in the remaining online platforms that far right activists could access. In a group dedicated to refugees from Parler, the far-right friendly social media platform whose hosting was yanked by Amazon a week ago, users clashed over the planned protests, with some arguing that the events were a “false flag”, and a trap laid for the movement by antifascists or law enforcement.

Photograph: John G Mabanglo/EPA Beyond social media, far-right leaders also expressed reservations about joining the actions. Even as the FBI circulated warnings in the past week about new potential armed demonstrations, some prominent leaders of extremist groups who had a presence at the 6 January attack claimed publicly that they did not want their followers to attend protests this week. Some warned that they saw the planned demonstrations as “traps”. Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the Oath Keepers, one of the country’s most prominent anti-government militias, was captured on video talking to militia members outside the Capitol on 6 January. In an email to supporters Thursday, Rhohdes joined other extremists in asking Trump to declare martial law, but he also told supporters they should not gather at state capitols to protest, warning them of “false-flag traps”. Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the neo-fascist Proud Boys, told USA Today that his group was not mobilizing as part of inauguration protests. “I feel like this part of the battle is over,” he said. White nationalist streamer Nicholas Fuentes told his supporters to “steer clear” of the inauguration, warning of an increased military presence.

But Holt says that in the wake of 6 January, “the far right has become feverishly paranoid about any events surrounding the inauguration”. Researchers who monitor extremist groups said that the sweeping bans and takedowns of far-right accounts in the past 10 days have left many groups in disarray, and that the ongoing arrests of people who participated in the capitol attack also appear to be having a deterrent effect. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

  • Biden Taps Gensler as SEC Chairman, Chopra as CFPB Director

    (Bloomberg) -- President-elect Joe Biden has picked a pair of veteran regulators strongly backed by progressive Democrats to lead two key Wall Street watchdogs, signaling that his administration is planning tough oversight after four years of light-touch GOP rule.Former Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Gary Gensler will be nominated to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission and Federal Trade Commission member Rohit Chopra is being tapped to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, according to people familiar with the decision.The selections follow weeks of intra-party wrangling over the financial regulation posts between moderate Democrats and those on the party’s left wing who want to see a sharp departure from business friendly policies advanced during the Trump administration. They are bad news for the banking industry, which has been bracing for the prospect of stiffer rules since Biden was elected in November.Gensler, 63, is a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. partner who gained a reputation was a Wall Street scourge when he engaged in bruising battles while advancing derivatives regulation at the CFTC during the Obama administration. Chopra, 38, is an acolyte of Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren who helped her set up the CFPB before she ran for office.(Updates with intraparty wrangling starting in third paragraph)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.
