Best Nintendo Switch controller Black Friday deal brings $11 discount

By

Nintendo Switch doesn’t offer deals often, so we’re happy to announce a Nintendo Switch Controller Black Friday Deal. Nintendo Switch controllers are usually $80, and this deal puts them at $69 for a

savings of $11

. While this isn’t the most considerable discount we’ve ever seen, it is huge for Nintendo because it’s difficult to even get your hands on actual Nintendo Switch products these days, which makes this one of the best Black Friday gaming deals still available. And with the holidays fast approaching and the best Black Friday deals starting to wrap up, you’re not going to want to wait on this one since we don’t know how long supplies will last.

Why Buy:

  • Compatible with Nintendo Switch gaming console
  • Can be used independently or as a traditional controller
  • Includes gyroscope and accelerometer for motion controls
  • Battery-powered and rechargeable

The Nintendo Joy-Con is a revolutionary way to play — the controllers make new kinds of gaming possible with the Nintendo Switch. Two Joy-Cons can be used independently, with one in each hand or together as one controller when attached to the Joy-Con grip. The Joy-Cons also connect to the main console for use in handheld mode, or you can share them with friends and enjoy two-player mode since each Joy-Con has a full set of buttons and can act as a standalone controller.

Each controller also features an accelerometer and gyro-sensor, which makes independent left and right motion control possible. You can use Joy-Cons from almost anywhere in the room without cords which really opens up gaming possibilities. The controllers are battery-powered and rechargeable, allowing for tangle-free operation and uninterrupted gaming sessions.

Should you shop this Nintendo Switch controller Black Friday deal or wait until Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday tends to feature the best deals from Black Friday, but there is no promise that you will find the exact same products on Cyber Monday. Sometimes supplies run short, and the deal you were holding out for never comes to be. This could be especially true with Nintendo Switch deals since we’ve seen shortages of products from them all year. When shopping Black Friday deals, your best bet is to grab the items you want when you find them on sale. If you find the same product at a better price on Cyber Monday, you can always return the one you just received or cancel the order.

Best gaming console deals: cheapest prices on PS5, Xbox S and X and Switch
father and son playing video games

If you've always wanted to pick up a gaming console but have been putting it off for prices to get a bit better, now is the perfect time to pick something up. With many great Xbox Series S and X deals, PlayStation 5 deals, and Nintendo Switch deals to pick from, you can grab something for a relatively cheap price. To that end, we've gone out and collected some of our favorite deals below, including both new and refurbished options where available.
Xbox Series S 1TB -- starting at $330, was $380

The Xbox Series S is the less powerful but cheaper option out of the newest generation Xbox line. When comparing the Xbox Series S versus the Xbox Series X, the Series S takes a hit in all the component categories. That means it's not quite as fast. But if you're not hung up on getting the optimal performance out of your system, you'll actually notice very few differences. The two biggest ones are the Series S's inability to play in 8K, and its lack of a disc drive. Most people don't even have 8K TVs, so that shouldn't be an issue. If you're alright with downloading all of your games straight to the console's memory (and you have a separate DVD or Blu-Ray player), the Series S will work fine. It's quite a bit smaller anyway, and easier to fit on a shelf.

The deal only lasts for the next 10 days or until it sells out with the latter extremely likely to happen soon. Here’s what you need to know before you miss out.

The Nintendo Switch OLED is a great upgrade to the standard Nintendo Switch and easily one of the best game consoles available right now.
