Thanksgiving is over, meaning the Black Friday Switch 2 deals have landed. It's looking pretty tame out there, with new console units not seeing any discounts at all in the US, while UK shoppers can enjoy a modest 5% off at EE. This was to be expected, given the handheld only launched a few months ago, and it's something I've come to expect after six years of deals-hunting during sales seasons like this one.

In truth, I'd go ahead and grab the handheld at MSRP and stock up on extra savings in the games and accessories departments. I'm already seeing record-low prices on some of the biggest third party releases (and even first party games like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza have been on sale in the last few weeks). On top of that, some of the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories we've tested so far are also seeing sturdy savings this year as well.

I've had a Nintendo Switch 2 under my wing since launch, and since then I've been busy spending far too much on the eShop and testing the latest and greatest accessories. I've also been deal hunting for over six years, starting off tracking the lowest prices on all manner of gaming gadgets over on our sister site TechRadar, before diving into hands-on testing at GamesRadar+.

Will the Nintendo Switch 2 be on sale during Black Friday?

The console itself? It's incredibly unlikely that the Nintendo Switch 2 will see serious discounts in the US over Black Friday, however the UK is already seeing a number of cash-saving bundles and even straight price cuts on the handheld live. Nintendo hardware holds its value for a long time, and this is a recent release. It took years for previous devices to shed their MSRPs in the states and even today it's difficult to find an OLED model on sale.

However, Black Friday Nintendo Switch 2 deals will likely land on games and accessories a little better. Cases, controllers, headsets, and memory cards are the order of the day this year, with third party games seeing some record-low prices as well.

Arcana't believe it

This is a game I loved despite having zero comprehension of what the Atlus series was in the first place. I'd given the Xbox version of Persona 3 Portable a go in 2023, but I was not prepared for how visually and mechanically stunning Reload turned out to be and I got well and truly obsessed with it around February 2024. Turn-based tactics, elemental matchups, life sim elements... really, if you loved Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 this year, you're gonna love Persona 3 Reload.

New record low sale on the best Switch 2 portable charger

It's almost embarrassing how hyped I am by this particular Black Friday Switch 2 deal, but at $11 off, the best portable charger for Nintendo's latest handheld is a serious steal.

The Jsaux 20000mAh 65w power bank is as sleek, powerful, and fast as it gets, with our retro and handheld hardware guru Phil writing about the "subtle sprinkles of integration that make it a great handheld fit." It's also compatible with your phone, your Steam Deck OLED, or really anything that can be charged via USB-C, making it an excellent all-rounder portable charger.

The fact that it's never been cheaper? Well, that's a tasty little treat for your Switch 2 bargain hunters. Check it out here:

Good as new

Who says your new Switch needs to be brand new? I've just spotted this gorgeous renewed indigo blue Nintendo Switch Lite going for an absolute steal on Amazon this Black Friday, a full $17 less than the lowest ever sales price of the brand new console.

It's the perfect Black Friday Switch deal for those on a smaller budget, especially if you're looking to gift it to someone who values portability and snazzy colors above having the latest tech. I adored my Switch Lite and sometimes regret trading up to the classic version, truth be told, and since there's only one of these in stock, I'd scoop it up quick.

Listen up, punks

One thing about me is that I am always breaking my headphones or losing my wireless earbuds, but there's one brand that has never let me down on either account.

The Steel Series Arctis range is seeing some excellent discounts in the post-Thanksgiving sales season, making them some of my top recommendations for a Black Friday Switch 2 deal-hunter searching for a beautiful way to get lost in the game. The SteelSeries Arctis game buds are just $20 above their lowest ever sales price on Amazon right now, while the older SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 is just dollars off its own record-low.

It's also the best budget Switch 2 Black Friday headphones option if you want to stay on the safe side and not splash too much cash, lest ye too break them too early. Thankfully, the sturdy build should make that hard task even for the accident-prone. Check both out here:

Soldier for the controller

Just found a sneaky price drop on one of the snazziest Black Friday Switch 2 deals on my roster! PowerA Advantage controllers are seeing some great discounts right now. Our Managing Hardware Editor already spotted that the white lumectra (aka, flashy light version) is going for up to 40% off right now, but fans of the best Mario games should definitely take advantage of the 28% discount on the Mario Time variant.

The gorgeous PowerA Advantage controller is compatible with both Switch generations, which is great news for anyone who's yet to upgrade. Most of them come in wired or wireless versions, so do be sure to take that into consideration before you hit "buy now".

You'll want to check out the full range of colors via Amazon (personally, the pastel-toned version featuring Princess Peach is calling to me) since they're all going for slightly different prices. The lumectra is a dollar more expensive, but works out to more of a percentage on savings, while Mario Time looks like the cheapest overall Switch 2 controller deal this Black Friday. I'll drop the links here for you peep:

The US is the place to be for Switch 2 amiibo savings

I've mentioned the incredible amiibo deals available at retailers like Best Buy a lot today, but I want to again for anyone who missed it earlier. You can grab the latest wave of Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom amiibo figures for just $9.99 today, which is a huge $20 off saving off their typical $29.99 prices.

That means you can buy three figures for the cost of just one at launch, which is utterly astounding if you ask me. Begrudgingly, these incredible deal prices are only available in the US, and they're still full price in the UK. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the amiibo savings will make their way across the pond soon.

I take these Switch 2 gaming ear buds everywhere, and they're now $50 off this Black Friday

Whenever I'm not using a headset with the Switch 2, you can bet I've got the SteelSeries Arctis Game Buds in my ears instead. Over the months, I've started to actually prefer using these when it comes to gaming on the go, as they're much more compact and so take up far less room in my backpack.

Plus, they're equipped with active noise-cancellation, which makes it easier to zone out any unwanted sounds and focus on leveling up in Pokemon Legends Z-A, which I'm forever a fan of. They can be pretty expensive, though, but they are down to $149.99 this Black Friday, which helps things. Today's price isn't a record low, but anything below the $150 price mark is a deal worth grabbing.

The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 wireless controller is my go-to Switch 2 pad, and it's less than $50 today

I don't feel any need to go grab a Switch 2 Pro controller now that I have the 8BitDo Ultimate Wireless 2 at my disposal. Sure, it's missing the NFC-reading tech, so it can't read any of the data from my amiibos. It's not as easy to pair as the official premium pad, but it is cheaper, especially this Black Friday.

There's no deal to be found with the Switch 2 Pro controller, but the 8BitDo Ultimate Wireless 2 is down to just $47.98 this week, a saving of $12 off its full $59.99 MSRP. This controller is also equipped with stick drift-eliminating TMR sticks, Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity (via a 2.4GHz wireless dongle), customizable RGB lighting, and a 1000Hz polling rate, among many more features. Not to mention that you can grab it in a range of colors besides the black and gray of the official Switch 2 pad.

PSA - Check your controllers and headsets with the Switch 2 before you buy new ones

The Nintendo Switch 2 isn't just backwards compatible with games, but it's also compatible with a ton of controllers and headsets too. This wasn't the case at launch, as it took a while for big tech brands like SteelSeries to release firmware updates to ensure compatibility was good to go for a lot of its headsets and accessories. However, its been long enough that you shouldn't have issues with most peripherals, especially ones that worked fine with the older Switch.

Better Switch 2 SD cards are still to come, but this 256GB SanDisk saving isn't too shabby

On November 30, Nintendo is dropping $20 off the official Samsung microSD Express card, which should mean you can grab 256GB worth of extra storage for around $39.99. If you can't wait until Sunday, you can instead pick up the 256GB SanDisk microSD Express Card today at Amazon.

It's currently $8 off, taking its $67.99 MSRP down to $59.99. Its current discounted price is just the same as the MSRP of the official Switch 2 SD card, which isn't ideal. But here's the thing: the official card can be difficult to find in stock, making this an ideal alternative.

These Switch 2 wheel controllers make Mario Kart World a blast, with or without a Black Friday saving

Talking of Switch 2 accessories that drive up the fun in Mario Kart World, these 4Gamers Twin Racing Wheel controllers are also down to a record-low price this Black Friday.

I'm just happy to see these back in stock, as ever since I first rambled on about how much I loved these well-built Joy-Con accessories, they've been a challenge to find. What's great about this deal in particular is that they're even cheaper than the official versions from Nintendo, but are not low in quality.

One of my favorite cheap Switch 2 accessories is finally back in stock

The 4Gamers Twin Controller Grips were some of the first third-party Switch 2 accessories I tested, and they're some of my favorites too.

These little plastic add-ons let you pop in your Joy-Con controllers and transform the flatbacks and awkward-to-press side buttons into ergonomically shaped handles with large, easy-to-press shoulder buttons. If you hate the sensation of playing co-op games with a single Joy-Con, these low-cost accessories make it a whole lot more manageable, and they're $2 off today at Best Buy thanks to Black Friday.

Need Nintendo Switch 2 stocking present ideas? Amiibo are the way the go

I'm a strong believer that amiibo make for some of the best gifts. Not only are they high-quality figures and merchandise based on iconic Nintendo characters, but they also unlock in-game content, which still blows me away even now that I'm over 150+ amiibo deep.

The only issue is, they can be pretty pricey, especially has they weren't spared from Nintendo's recent wave of price increases. However, right now, Best Buy has dropped the prices of the Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom amiibo to just $9.99 each, and that, my friends, makes them perfect for gifting this year.

Get prepared for the upcoming movie with this little Super Mario Galaxy game deal

I just recently finished yet another playthrough of the first Super Mario Galaxy game that's in this collection on the Switch 2, and I loved every moment. I'm now multiple hours into the sequel, and while I don't personally enjoy it as much as the first game, I'm glad I have the opportunity to play it now that its' broken free of its Wii-shaped prison.

If the Galaxy games have passed you by but you have a Switch 2, you can grab this collection of both games for $64.99 at Walmart today, saving you $4 off its full $69.99 price. I know that saving is absolutely tiny, but this collection is still pretty new, so it'll be a while until we see a price drop of cosmic proportions.

This Switch 2 case is worth grabbing even at full price this Black Friday

I know I'm meant to be delivering you all the best discounts this Black Friday, but I fully believe this PlayTrek Mario Bricks Switch 2 case is a bargain, even at its full $29.99 price tag.

This case features all the same storage as the best Switch 2 case I've tested, which includes space to store up to 12 physical game cards, and a fabric mesh pocket for smaller accessories. But what's most striking about this case in particular is its unique lenticular design. Depending on the angle you look at the case from, you can see some hidden Mario art reveal itself, and it looks utterly fantastic amongst the sea of boring, plain ol' cases that are on the market today.

My go-to Switch 2 wireless headset is under $90 this Black Friday

As the resident headset nerd of the team, I've tested a lot of wireless headsets for the Switch 2. Out of the lot, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3X Wireless is my favorite, and the white model is down to a record-low price of $89.99 at Amazon today.

This lightweight headset is equipped with mighty 40mm Neodymium audio drivers, Bluetooth and 2.4GHz, and one of the best mics I've tested in a pair so far. Its battery is a little disappointing, but it's fortunately also equipped with fast charging, which helps make up for its lackluster playback. With fast charging, I can get up to 9 hours of juice from just a 15-minute charge, which is why it secured its place among my favorite Switch 2 accessories.

I asked Santa for an extra pair of Switch 2 Joy-Con, and you should too

I so badly want an extra pair of Switch 2 Joy-Con for the holidays, and if you plan to play some games with the family or friends, you should think about investing in some of your own.

Sure, the Switch 2 is compatible with a ton of past Switch controllers, which you might own. However, if you're planning on playing through games like Super Mario Party Jamboree Switch 2 Edition next month and want to fully enjoy all the new mouse-controlled mini-games with friends, you'll need more than one pair to get up to 4 players in on the fun. Having an extra pair can also be handy if anyone happens to your original pads, which is why I'm pestering Santa (also known as my fiancé) for another pair.

This official Switch 2 slim case is down to a record low price

The Switch 2 has been out for a few months now, and that means there are now plenty of cases out there for the taking, like this PowerA Slim Case.

Unlike other slim cases, it is missing an accessory pouch, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Without any accessory storage, you're less likely to cram in gadgets that could put extra force on the handheld's 7.9-inch display when the case is zipped up, saving it from any unwanted pressure and damage down the line. If that sounds good to you, you can grab this PowerA case for just $15 today thanks to Black Friday.

This Spigen Switch 2 case makes Joy-Cons super comfortable, and it's under $16 this Black Friday

I've never been a fan of the flat-backs of the Joy-Con controllers, and that's especially the case where the Switch 2 is concerned. After a while, I get a flush of pins and needles-like sensations as there's nothing comfortable for my hands to grip onto, but that's where this Spigen Rugged Armor case comes in.

By slipping your Ninty handheld in this plastic case, it adds grips to the back of the Joy-Con controllers, transforming its shape into something that more resembles the Steam Deck, and I love it. Annoyingly, you can only use this with the Joy-Con attached, but as a handheld mode fan, that doesn't bother me.

If you prefer old-school Donkey Kong, this is the Switch game deal for you

Donkey Kong Bananza has been out for a while now, but I know not everyone is a fan of more open-world DK games. If you're one of those people, you can instead grab Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, which is down to just $39.99 today thanks to Black Friday.

This game is compatible with the Switch 2 and focuses on more side-scrolling platforming, which you'll be more than accustomed to if you grew up on the original Donkey Kong Country on the SNES. Plus, like its Bananza brethren, you can hand an extra Joy-Con to a pal and have some local co-op fun too.

Want a Switch 2 for the holidays? Grab the Mario Kart World bundle

If I had to choose between grabbing the standalone Nintendo Switch 2 or the Mario Kart World bundle, it'd be the latter every time.

Sure, it pains me as a physical game collector that Mario Kart World is included as a redeemable digital game code, and there's no game box to be found. However, it's easier to cope with that fact once I remember that I'm saving $29 over buying the handheld and the game separately. Plus, now I permanently have the latest Mario Kart on my Switch 2 and don't have to get up to slot in the cart when friends come over, which is a nice bonus.

The official Samsung Switch 2 SD card is getting a $20 saving this weekend

If you've had your eyes on the official Samsung microSD Express Card for the last few months, you'll be happy to know it's receiving a chunky $20 discount on November 30.

Switch 2 microSD Express cards are notoriously pricey, so it'll be great to see it drop from its $59.99 price tag once the deal goes live. Nintendo stated that you can expect to find it with its new discounted price at Nintendo San Francisco and the Nintendo New York physical stores, as well as select retailers online, once it goes live. For now, it's still full price, but I recommend bookmarking its product page and checking back in on Sunday to catch this Black Friday saving while stock lasts.

I loved testing this stunning ghost RGB wired Switch 2 controller, and it's now $20 off

I know wired Switch 2 controllers aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I genuinely adored my time with this stunning PowerA pad. Its cable was long enough that I could still comfortably sit on my sofa while playing Pokemon Legends Z-A, but it wasn't that which impressed me the most.

This controller is equipped with Ghost RGB LED Lighting, which basically means that the combination of the lighting inside the controller and the translucent white chassis creates a ghostly glowing effect. I'm a big fan of RGB lighting in my gaming tech, but this is one of my favorite implementations of it in anything Switch 2 or gaming-related so far. If you love bright and colorful controllers, your Switch 2 deserves this, especially now it's down to $29.99 at Amazon this Black Friday.Read more: PowerA Advanted Wired Controller reviewPowerA Advantage Wired Controller with Lumectra | $49.99 $29.99 at Amazon

Belkin's Switch 2 screen protector is a must-buy now that it's super cheap this Black Friday

I know a screen protector is a really boring purchase for any handheld, whether it's the Switch 2 or the Steam Deck, but trust me that it can make a huge difference. I've got this Belkin TemperedGlass Screen Protector for Nintendo Switch 2 on my device right now, and it helps keep my anxiety at bay.

Before it, I noticed tiny abrasions to the 7.9-inch LCD display, and I was in a panic as my Switch 2 was so new. So I made sure to get a screen protector on it as soon as possible, as it was this one from Belkin that I picked up because it comes with an Easy Align Frame to make it easier to install. I didn't do a perfect job, as you can tell from the bottom left corner of the image above. However, this is still a must-buy if you want to keep your display in good condition.

This Switch 2 controller is a top pick from our retro expert, and it just received a rare saving

Our hardware team's resident retro expert Phil is a big fan of the Gulikit Elves Pro 2 controller, which is currently $40 off at Amazon. That's thanks in part to its premium features like its hall effect thumbsticks, a 1,000Hz polling rate, and HD haptic, but also because it's pretty travel-friendly too.

I haven't tried this out for myself, but if Phil states that it prompted them to "essentially ditch most other gamepads I used to use, including the Switch Pro controller" then it must be a wireless pad worthy of the Switch, or Nintendo Switch 2. Fortunately, I don't have to spend a lot to give it a whirl and see for myself, as it's just $39.99 this Black Friday.Gulikit Elves 2 Pro controller | $49.99 $39.99 at Amazon

Yes, I fully appreciate this version of No Sleep For Kaname Date on the Switch 2 is a game-key card, but hear me out. If you're a Somnium Files series fan, it's still a great game to have in your collection.

Not only is it not yet out on other platforms (like the PS5), but this edition comes with two holographic stickers in the box. If you're a Somnium Files fan like me, I know even you can't avoid the allure of two pretty collectible stickers, especially if the amazing Aiba is involved as one of the designs. Plus, there's $20 off this Switch 2 copy right now.

I've been a Nintendo fan for 35 years, and here's all the Switch 2 goodies on my wishlist

I've been playing Nintendo games for almost as long as I could walk. I wish I were making that up, but there's literally a photo of me as a baby with an NES controller in my hand. 35 years later, I'm still a big Nintendo fan, which is one of the reasons I'm here typing away to you at this very moment, and why my online shopping wishlist is full of Switch 2 goodies this year.

Today, I thought I'd share with you everything I've added to that wishlist, so you can see if there's anything you'd like to add to yours. Or, so you can see if there's anything you're eager to grab right now while the Black Friday deals are flowing.

This JSAUX Switch 2 accessory can charge all your Joy-Con controllers, and its never been cheaper

I recently reviewed the JSAUX EnergyFlow Charging Dock for the Nintendo Switch 2 and quite liked the RGB-lit up contraption, even if I couldn't use it to its fullest potential. This little device can charge up to four Switch 2 Joy-Con controllers at once, and acts as a handy stand when you don't know where to stash your extra pair.

If you only have one set of Joy-Con, I wouldn't recommend it. You can just charge your controllers by attaching them to your Ninty handhelds when it's docked. However, if you have an extra pair and want to ensure it's juiced up for some Super Mario Party action over the holidays, you can grab this charging dock for just $16.99 this Black Friday.Read more: JSAUX EnergyFlow Charging Dock review

You can get some Zelda amiibo for as little as $10 right now

Nintendo has dropped the price of its Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom amiibo down to just $9.99 for Black Friday, and I feel like everyone needs to know.

I adore the little NFC-integrated collectibles, especially the Zelda amiibo. Until this new wave launched alongside the Switch 2, I owned every single Zelda figure in the series, but it should be straightforward to collect the three I'm missing now that they're just $9.99 this week.

If you're trying to complete your collection too, you can grab the Sidon, Riju, Tulin, and Yunobo for $9.99 at Best Buy and other US retailers. Better yet, the Street Fighter 6 amiibo are also discounted this Black Friday too.

PSA - Nintendo Switch 2 stock is going strong

If you don't know exactly where to look for one, you can scroll up from here and check out the deals above. Better yet, I'll give you a few starting off points to get you going to save you some time. Just remember, that Mario Kart World Bundle comes with a digital code of the game. If you want a physical copy to wrap and keep under the tree this year, you'll need to pick it up separately.Featured in: best gaming handheld

Hey listen - Echoes of Wisdom has a free Switch 2 upgrade and it's just $40 right now

If you're after some older Nintendo Switch games but want the reassurance they'll actually run better on the Switch 2, then may I direct your attention to the Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom.

This charming game features the same graphical stylings of the Links Awakening Remake, but features Princess Zelda on her first solo adventure (if you don't count the CD-i game). I absolutely adored my time with Echoes of Wisdom, but there were some noticeable performance issues. Which is why I'm happy to say that it's not just down to $39.99 at Best Buy today, but it also has a free Switch 2 upgrade, which introduces HDR support and optimized visuals for the new handheld.

This Ghost Purple Switch 2 wired headset would make a great 90s nostalgia gift

I know I talked about the Turtle Beach Airlite Fit just a few posts ago, but I want to take a moment to let you know about the fabulous Ghost Purple version.

This is a slightly older variation of the Switch (and Switch 2) headset and features a transparent purple aesthetic that pays homage to the Atomic Purple Game Boy Color of the late 90s. As a '90s kid myself, I absolutely adore its look. Nothing brings on the nostalgia more than transparent colored Nintendo tech.

If you're looking for a little stocking present over the holidays for a fellow 90s kid, this headset would go down a treat, especially if the Game Boy Color was a staple of their childhood.

This should be your first Switch 2 case, especially now its down to a new record-low price

I've had a lot of friends ask me for Switch 2 case recommendations since the new handheld launched earlier this year, and I always start by talking about the Bellkin Carrying Case.

My favorite case is actually the Belkin Charging Case for the Nintendo Switch 2, but I don't like to assume that everyone can muster up the cash to pay for its $69.99 MSRP. Instead, I recommend this carrying case model as it offers up the same compact and professional-looking exterior, and an almost identical amount of storage on the inside, just with a far cheaper price tag.

I don't dare touch my Joy-Cons without these thumb grips, and they've never been cheaper

Over the years, I've come to love thumb grips. The little controller add-ons make gaming a lot more comfortable, and that's never been truer for these JSAUX Thumb Grips for the Nintendo Switch 2.

This set comes with three different pairs of grips, each of a different height, so you can see what works best for you. Right now, the high-rise grips are sitting on my Switch 2 Joy-Con sticks, and I never want to take them off. Rolling around in Pokemon Legends Z-A is a lot easier thanks to the added rubber comfort, and better yet, this set is down to just $7.99 right now.

This great-sounding wired Switch 2 headset is less than $20 right now

I've tested a lot of Switch 2-compatible headsets this year, but the Turtle Beach Airlite Fit surprised me the most. It's a wired headset that's just $27.99 without any Black Friday sales going on, so I was expecting a cheap fit and cheap sound, but it's actually a pretty great-sounding pair of cups - and should be a no-brainer pick up now it's just $19.99 today (when you use the $8 off coupon at Amazon).

When I tested it out earlier this year, its little 40mm Neodymium speaker drivers made the jazz and big band stylings of the Mario Kart World soundtrack in free-roam mode sound so good, I'd often just sit and listen while not actually playing the game. If you're after a low-cost headset that isn't low quality, this Turtle Beach pair is the way to go.
