Live now: All the latest Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals

The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is a must if you like to play your Switch in TV Mode, but the problem is… it’s rather expensive. 

Well, not anymore! GameStop has a great deal on Nintendo’s controller, but you need to add the item to the cart to see the price. Using my investigative journalism skills, I’ve discovered that the Pro Controller can be yours for just $49.99, which is a pleasing discount of 20 bucks.

It’s likely this deal will sell out fast, so if you’ve had your eye on Nintendo’s sleek pad, pick it up now.

Sadly the official Pro Controller isn’t on sale in the UK, but this wireless alternative from PowerA is £10 cheaper than Nintendo’s pad and has great reviews on Amazon. There are also loads of fun designs to choose from.

It’s-a me, Adam Vjestica – TechRadar’s Senior Gaming Writer. Would you believe me if I told you I’m wearing a Nintendo branded jumper right now? I bought it from the Nintendo NYC store before all this pandemic malarkey started. 

I’m taking over this live blog to carry on the fantastic work of my colleague, Vic Hood, who’s probably sleeping right now. Am I jealous? No, because I get the pleasure of bringing you all of the best Nintendo Switch deals, and there’s plenty to shout about.

Let’s start with this cracker for UK readers. Currys has the Nintendo Switch OLED with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a 256GB micro SD card for £369. That’s everything you’ll need to have the best Christmas ever. If Mario Kart 8 Deluxe isn’t for you, Currys also has other Switch OLED bundles available.

Let’s be honest, Nintendo Switch consoles don’t come with a whole bunch of storage. Sure, the new Switch OLED’s 64GB is considerably more than the standard Switch’s 32GB but, regardless of which console you’re using, you’ll likely find that storage gets used up pretty quickly through a mixture of screen captures, videos and (of course) game installations. 

Fortunately, unlike with some consoles (cough, PS5, cough) increasing the Switch’s internal storage is easy peasy. All you need to do is pop a micro SD card into the console’s built-in memory card slot. Told you it was simple. 

If, like me, you’re finding yourself having to constantly delete games and videos to make room on your device, it’s probably about time to pick up an SD card for Switch. Luckily, right now at Amazon, there are a bunch of Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch SD card deals available in both the US and UK. 

Those in the US can pick up some of our favorite micro SDs for less, with the SanDisk 256GB microSDXC Card discounted to $39.99and the SanDisk 400GB Ultra microSDXC price slashed to $44.99. In the UK, there’s £62.55 of the Integral 1TB Micro SD Card and the SanDisk Extreme 128 GB microSDXC is just £16.99.

Remember when the pandemic first hit and you couldn’t get hold of Ring Fit Adventure for love nor money? Well, now you can – and for a discount.

Ring Fit Adventure is currently $54 at Amazon, saving you $25.99. But there are only a few left in stock at the time of writing so you better act fast. I won’t beat around the bush, we saw many more discounts on Ring Fit Adventure around Black Friday – but, unfortunately, most of those deals have dried up. 

But, Ring Fit Adventure is one of only a few Switch games/accessories that I would suggest picking up at this time of year, even if there’s no discount. I personally plan to dust mine off in the New Year, as I look to fulfill my resolution of exercising more as I look to rehab an ankle injury I currently have – because if you’re not exercising while fighting a big ol’ dragon creature then are you really exercising at all? If you’re a bit anxious about exercising in public too, Ring Fit Adventure is perfect for providing a challenging workout from the comfort of your own home – plus it’s just good fun. 

It’s easily one of the best Nintendo Switch accessories available right now.

Have you ever considered a refurbished gadget? You should – they come with the same warranty and the damage – if there even is any – will be cosmetic, and you can save a packet.

For instance, you can get a Nintendo Switch for £274… but with the Cyber Monday deals, you can get it for 20% off, taking it to £218. And it’s in good condition too – definitely worth a look if you want to save a bob or two.

I decided to ask around the TechRadar team to see what everyone’s favorite (aka the best) Nintendo Switch game is – and then checked whether there’s a deal on that particular title right now. 

Computing Writer Jessica Weatherbed said her favorite game is Hades, a dungeon-crawling, mythical thirst trap – which isn’t a surprise if you know her. Right now, Hades is discounted but only in the UK, at the Nintendo eShop. Sorry US peeps.

Jamel Smith, TechRadar’s intern, said his favorite Switch game is Luigi’s Mansion 3. We don’t hold it against him, because legally we can’t until he’s a full-time member of staff, and because right now Walmart is offering a $10 discount on Luigi’s Mansion 3.

Phones Editor, James Peckham, played it safe by picking Switch classic Super Mario Odyssey. It is on our best Switch games list, we’ll give him that. Plus, Walmart is offering Super Mario Odyssey for just $35.23 (a $5 saving) right now. 

TechRadar’s resident wholesome Nintendo dweeb (also known as our News & Features Editor) Henry St Leger claimed Hollow Knight is the best Switch game – when forced to only pick one. Unfortunately, Henry doesn’t seem to want any of you to save money, because Hollow Knight isn’t on sale right now – sorry.

Vic Hood, TechRadar’s Gaming Editor (aka me), obviously has selected the correct best Switch game – and it’s even on sale right now. What Remains of Edith Finch is currently just £5.29 at the Nintendo UK store right now, meaning you save over £10 on its usual cost.

The Nintendo Switch launched four years ago and during that time we’ve seen plenty of Switch games hit the family-friendly console. Yet, it’s one of the original Switch’s launch games that arguably remains the console’s most popular title to this day.

That’s right, I’m talking about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Zelda’s first Switch entry is still considered by many to be one of the greatest games of all time, never mind on Switch, so it’s still a welcome sight to see BOTW on sale.

Right now, Walmart is offering Breath of the Wild for $35, meaning you save nearly $7 on its usual $41.99 RRP. it’s not the lowest price we’ve seen for BOTW, as it dropped to $29.99 back in 2019, but it’s still a decent price for one of the best games ever.

We’ve got bad news – this familiar (but fantastic) Nintendo Switch bundle deal at Best Buy has just gone out of stock… but we are seeing some stock stay around, so it may be that the bundles (and there are many, but most are out of stock) will return.

So what made this bundle so good? Well, it packs in the Nintendo Switch (Neon), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a three-month subscription for Nintendo Switch Online for $299.99 – that’s pretty good value seeing as buying all these items separately would cost you $370 at full price. 

If you’re in the UK, don’t fret, you can still pick up this excellent Nintendo Switch deal. This same bundle is available for £259.99 at My Nintendo Store right now.
