Official Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals have landed, and anyone on the hunt for an OLED model is in luck this weekend. We’ve been waiting for this offer for a few weeks now, after Nintendo’s regular Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle went live in October. Right now, though, you’ll find a Nintendo Switch OLED model with a free copy of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and three months of Nintendo Switch Online on the shelves for $349.99 (atWalmartandBest Buyto be specific). That’s the cost of the console by itself.
This is the first time we’ve seen a Nintendo Switch OLED bundle packing this much value in the US. After all, that’s still a full priced game all these years after release and the Switch Online membership will save you a few bucks as well. That makes this thebest Black Friday Nintendo Switch dealwe’ve seen so far this year.
Of course, if you don’t want to spend the full $350 on an OLED model (and we’d recommend against it if you just want to play in docked mode), you’ll still find the $299.99 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle available on the standard editionat Best Buyas well.

Should you buy the Nintendo Switch OLED?
The Nintendo Switch OLED is the latest and greatest console to hit the shelves. That makes it the go-to for anyone upgrading from a Switch Lite or a launch edition console, the boosted battery life and screen quality make for a vastly improved experience overall. However, the OLED model is pretty much identical to the standard edition console on the inside - the only upgrade is that OLED display, and you’ll only see that in handheld mode. That’s why we recommend those who will be mostly playing in docked mode save themselves some cash with the older release.
