Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday Deals: Discounts On Switch Games, Accessories

Now that you have paid the price for how poorly you treated your body over Thanksgiving break and are back at your desk, it is time to shop for Cyber Monday deals instead of working. No need to worry, your boss will totally understand. We promise.

Just like Black Friday, folks are probably wondering if there are any great Nintendo Switch deals on Cyber Monday. Also just like Black Friday, the answer is “not really.” That said, there are still some deals worth checking out on Nintendo Switch games and accessories to supplement the non-discounted console you may or may not have bought by now. After all, without any games, the Switch is just a tablet without apps or a web browser.

The first thing you need to know is there are not any serious Nintendo Switch console discounts on Cyber Monday, which is also how Nintendo handled business on Black Friday. The console is new enough and hard enough to find that Nintendo knows people will still spend $300 on it without much thought. That said, GameStop does have Switches in stock for Cyber Monday and there is one sort-of discount: You can get a Nintendo Switch with Sonic Forces for $330, which normally would be $340 altogether.

Nintendo is running a series of cyber deals on its eShop storefront from now until Dec. 11, which includes a bunch of lightly discounted Switch games. The goofy party game/Switch tech demo 1-2-Switch is $40, a discount of $10. For the kids, you can grab the video game adaptation of The Ninjago Movie for $42, a discount from its full price of $60. Finally, if you are old enough to have really loved classic RPGs like Chrono Trigger, the modern throwback I am Setsuna is $24, a discount from $40.

As far as accessories go, Target has one extremely enticing site-wide deal: Many products have a blanket 15 percent discount on Target’s website today. No, the Nintendo Switch console is not one of them. However, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, an essential item for enjoying Switch games on a TV, is. Normally, $70, it goes down to a little less than $60 with that discount. The Pro Controller is much more akin to a PlayStation or Xbox controller than the detached Joy-Con controllers and is one of the better game controllers on the market. It is highly recommended to all Switch owners who play the console on a TV on a regular basis.

Another critical Switch accessory is a micro SD card to get past the console’s stringent 32 gigabyte storage limit, which is smaller than some individual Switch games like NBA 2K18 . Amazon has discounts on some Sandisk micro SD cards, such as 200 gigabytes for $76 and 64 gigabytes for $15. If you want a middle ground between the two, you can grab a 128 gigabyte card for $52. Splurging on one of the bigger models is a good call, as Switch games tend to not be nearly as large as PS4 or Xbox One games, so a 200 gigabyte card should last you for a good, long while.
