Nintendo announces Black Friday sale with $50 off Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle
Nintendo has unveiled its 2026 Black Friday sale, which runs from November 22 to November 29 and includes a $50 discount on the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle along with $20 off five Switch 2 games.
Nintendo has announced the details of its 2026 Black Friday sale, offering $50 off the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle and $20 off five Switch 2 games. The promotion runs from November 22 through November 29, marking the first official discount on the Switch 2 since it launched in June 2025.
The Mario Kart World bundle, which carries a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $549.99, will sell for $499.99 during the sale. Nintendo's bundles at that price point include three months of Nintendo Switch Online. The discount brings the bundle back to roughly the level it sold for in 2025, after the bundle was discontinued at the end of that year and later returned at $550. A separate Switch Sports Resort bundle is not part of the sale and will remain at $530.
The five discounted Switch 2 games include Donkey Kong Bananza, Metroid Prime 4, Kirby Air Riders, Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 and Super Mario Party Jamboree. Titles in the sale start at $39.99, and Donkey Kong Bananza may cost $49.99 during the promotion. Retailers carrying the offers include Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, GameStop and the Nintendo Store.
The sale arrives after a price increase earlier this year. In September 2026, the U.S. price of the Switch 2 rose from $449.99 to $499.99, which makes the Black Friday reduction a return to a lower sticker price for the console itself. Nintendo has not yet disclosed details of any Cyber Monday promotion on November 30.
Separately, Nintendo has said that deals on the Nintendo eShop and Nintendo Store will run from November 19 through December 2. Specific eShop offers have not yet been announced.
