Nintendo Cyber Deals 2025: Best Nintendo Switch & Switch 2 Black Friday Discounts (Nov. 24 Update)

Published: November 24, 2025

Nintendo’s big holiday push is officially in full swing. The annual Nintendo Cyber Deals 2025 sale is now live on the Nintendo eShop and My Nintendo Store, overlapping with Black Friday 2025 offers at major retailers — and this year the discounts are unusually deep on both Switch and Switch 2 games. [1]

Digital discounts of up to 50% off run through December 3 at 11:59 p.m. PT, while physical Black Friday offers on first‑party hits like Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom drop many titles to $29.99 or $39.99 at participating stores. [2]

Key dates and where to shop

Digital: Nintendo Cyber Deals 2025 (eShop)

Nintendo’s Cyber Deals campaign is the backbone of this year’s discounts:

  • When: November 20 – December 3, 2025, 11:59 p.m. PT
  • Where:
    • Nintendo eShop on Switch and Switch 2
    • My Nintendo Store online [16]
  • What’s on sale:
    • Over 70 Nintendo Switch games plus DLC and bundles, with highlight titles including Splatoon 3, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Sonic x Shadow Generations, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, and more. [17]

Nintendo describes Cyber Deals as effectively the digital counterpart to its Black Friday promotions, with discounts concentrated on downloadable titles and expansions rather than hardware. [18]

Physical: Black Friday game deals

The Black Friday‑side of Nintendo’s promo focuses on boxed copies of popular first‑party games:

  • When: Deals started November 23 and generally run through November 29, depending on the retailer. [19]
  • Where:
    • Major US retailers (such as Amazon, Best Buy, Target and Walmart)
    • Nintendo NY and Nintendo San Francisco stores [20]
  • How much you save:
    • Savings of $20–$30 per game, dropping several flagship titles to around $29.99 or $39.99. [21]

Big first‑party Nintendo games under $40

Nintendo’s official Black Friday press release and coverage from outlets like The Economic Times, Times of India and The Verge line up on the headline first‑party offers. [22]

Down to about $29.99 (roughly $30 off)

These titles are the real attention‑grabbers — flagship first‑party releases priced around half off their usual $59.99 MSRP:

  • Super Mario Odyssey – Around $29.99 at major retailers, matching its lowest price to date. [23]
  • The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom – Also cut to roughly $29.99, a rare early discount for a modern Zelda release. [24]
  • Splatoon 3 – Priced around $29.99 in some Black Friday promos, and discounted digitally as part of Cyber Deals. [25]
  • Paper Mario: The Thousand‑Year Door (Switch remake) – About $29.99, giving a newly remade classic RPG an aggressive holiday price. [26]
  • Nintendo Switch Sports – Also down to the $29.99 tier at participating retailers. [27]

For buyers who just picked up a Switch or Switch 2, this is a near‑perfect starter library at mid‑tier prices.

Down to about $39.99 (roughly $20 off)

A second batch of first‑party hits land around $39.99, still well below normal:

  • Princess Peach: Showtime!
  • Donkey Kong Country Returns HD
  • Luigi’s Mansion 3
  • Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe
  • The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom also appears around $39.99 at some retailers outside the deepest Black Friday window, depending on region and store. [28]

These prices are backed up by today’s international coverage, which notes that several games have never been this cheap before and may not hit these lows again until Nintendo’s annual “MAR10 Day” promotion in March. [29]

Standout digital Cyber Deals on Nintendo eShop

While physical game discounts are limited to a small curated list, the Cyber Deals 2025 eShop sale spreads savings across a much wider library. Nintendo Insider’s breakdown highlights eight Switch 2 titles and more than 70 Switch games with temporary discounts. [30]

Here are some of the most notable bargains live as of November 24:

Big first‑party and major third‑party titles

From Nintendo Insider’s full list: [31]

  • Splatoon 3 – Digital version discounted to about $41.99, down from $59.99, with an extra offer on the Expansion Pass and bundle.
  • Luigi’s Mansion 3 – Around $39.99, with separate discounts on its Multiplayer Pack and a combined bundle.
  • Xenoblade Chronicles 3 – Approximately $41.99, plus a deal on its Expansion Pass and bundled edition.
  • Bayonetta 3 – Cut to about $41.99 from $59.99.
  • Endless Ocean Luminous – Around $39.99, down from its standard price.
  • WarioWare: Move It! – Discounted to about $39.99.
  • The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Marked down to roughly $16.49 from $49.99.
  • Diablo III: Eternal Collection – Around $19.79, a substantial discount on the all‑in‑one bundle.

RPGs and story‑heavy favorites

  • Persona 5 Royal – Cut to around $20.99 from $59.99 — a huge drop for a mammoth JRPG.
  • Bravely Default II – Discounted to about $41.99.
  • Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance (Digital Deluxe) – Around $27.99, well below its usual pricing.
  • Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II (Digital Deluxe/Ultimate) – Both premium editions discounted heavily. [32]

Indies and cult classics

  • Cult of the Lamb: Cultist Edition – About $14.99.
  • Blasphemous 2 – Dropped to under $10.
  • Axiom Verge 1 & 2 Bundle – Approximately $13.99, combining two acclaimed Metroidvanias.
  • Overcooked! All You Can Eat – Around $13.59, a strong co‑op pick.
  • Little Nightmares I & II Bundle – About $14.99.
  • Downwell – Around $1.99. [33]

Vice’s coverage notes that the Cyber Deals promo spans well over 100 items when you include DLC, bundles, and Switch 2‑specific SKUs, so what you see on the front page is only a slice of what’s discounted. [34]

Switch 2: what’s actually on sale?

Despite heavy demand, Nintendo isn’t discounting Switch 2 hardware for Black Friday 2025. [35] However, there are a few angles for Switch 2 owners (or early adopters‑to‑be):

Discounted Switch 2 games and passes

Across Vice and Nintendo Insider’s lists, nine Switch 2 titles or specific next‑gen versions are confirmed to be in Cyber Deals, including: [36]

  • EA Sports FC 26 – Around $34.99, down from $69.99 on Switch 2, and about $29.99 on the original Switch.
  • Madden NFL 26 – Also about $34.99 from $69.99.
  • Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S – Roughly $23.99 from $39.99.
  • Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 – About $29.99 from $49.99.
  • Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut – Around $34.99 from $49.99.
  • Kunitsu‑Gami: Path of the Goddess – Around $29.99.
  • Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army – Approximately $34.99.
  • Sonic x Shadow Generations (Digital Deluxe) – Around $29.99, half off its usual $59.99.

Many of these are early‑generation Switch 2 releases, so seeing 30–50% discounts this soon after launch is notable.

Free Switch 2 upgrades for older games

Even if you’re buying older Switch titles, some are now “future‑proof” thanks to free Switch 2 updates. Nintendo highlights three in particular: [37]

  • The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
  • Super Mario Odyssey
  • Splatoon 3

On Switch 2, these receive improved performance and higher resolutions, making the current Black Friday pricing especially attractive if you plan to upgrade hardware later.

Amiibo, storage and other extras

Nintendo’s holiday offers aren’t just about software.

Amiibo

Select amiibo are $10 off MSRP at participating retailers, including: [38]

  • The Legend of Zelda “Sages” line (Tulin, Yunobo, Riju, Sidon)
  • Street Fighter 6 amiibo figures (Jamie, Kimberly, Luke)
  • The Street Fighter 6 amiibo Card Starter Set

For collectors or fans of Tears of the Kingdom and Capcom fighters, this is one of the rare times Nintendo itself is promoting meaningful amiibo discounts.

Storage for Switch 2

Switch 2 uses the newer microSD Express standard for expanded storage, which is still relatively niche and often pricey. Starting November 30, official Samsung microSD Express cards sold through Nintendo’s own stores and select retailers will be $20 off MSRP during a short Cyber Monday‑style promo (November 30 – December 1). [39]

Given how quickly modern Switch 2 titles chew through storage, this may be one of the smarter “future‑proofing” purchases of the season.

How long will these Nintendo deals last?

Here’s a quick expiry checklist so you don’t miss anything:

  • Cyber Deals (digital, eShop/My Nintendo Store)
    • Ends December 3, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. PT. [40]
  • Black Friday physical game prices ($29.99 / $39.99)
    • Generally run November 23–29, 2025, with some retailers possibly ending sooner. [41]
  • Switch 2 microSD Express card deal
    • Expected window: November 30 – December 1, 2025. [42]

Most deal‑tracking outlets agree that it’s unlikely we’ll see these exact discounts again until at least March 2026, when Nintendo typically runs its MAR10 Day promotions focused on Mario titles. [43]

Tips to make the most of Nintendo Cyber Deals 2025

A few quick strategies if you’re browsing the eShop or retailer listings today:

  1. Prioritize first‑party price drops.
    Nintendo first‑party games — especially Mario, Zelda, and Splatoon — rarely hit 40–50% off. If any of these are on your wishlist, they’re strong day‑one buys.
  2. Double‑check Switch 2 compatibility.
    If you own (or plan to own) a Switch 2, look for games with free Switch 2 updates (Echoes of Wisdom, Odyssey, Splatoon 3) or explicit Switch 2 editions in the Cyber Deals listings.
  3. Use wishlists and filters.
    On the eShop, use the Cyber Deals tab plus sorting by “highest discount” or “price low to high” to surface hidden gems like Blasphemous 2 or Axiom Verge Collection at steep cuts.
  4. Watch regional pricing.
    Some deals differ slightly between the US, Europe and Asia. If you’re using a different eShop region, cross‑check local store pages before assuming a US‑based discount applies.
  5. Budget for storage.
    With so many digital offers and more large Switch 2 titles coming, setting aside part of your budget for a discounted microSD Express card can save headaches later.

Bottom line

As of November 24, 2025, Nintendo’s Cyber Deals 2025 and Black Friday promos have created one of the most aggressive discount windows we’ve seen on Switch and Switch 2 software:

  • Digital buyers can stack up on dozens of discounted eShop titles through December 3. [44]
  • Retail shoppers can grab eight flagship first‑party games for $29.99 or $39.99 through the core Black Friday period. [45]
  • Switch 2 owners get a handful of discounted next‑gen titles and a short‑lived deal on official high‑speed storage.

If you’ve been waiting to build (or rebuild) your Nintendo library, this week — and especially the stretch between now and Cyber Monday — is likely the best time you’ll see until well into 2026.

AST SpaceMobile, the U.S.-based company delivering space-based cellular broadband to smartphones, announced the upcoming launch of BlueBird 6 from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in India on December 15. As the first of its next-generation satellites, BlueBird 6 will deploy the largest commercial phased array in low Earth orbit (LEO) at nearly 2,400 sq ft, delivering about 10x the data capacity. The firm is ramping to roughly 40 satellites by early 2026 and expects five orbital launches by Q1 2026, with monthly launches to reach 45-60 satellites by year-end for continuous coverage across the United States and select markets. A 500,000 sq ft network of facilities and a global workforce of ~1,800 support the build, and a live launch will be streamed on AST SpaceMobile's YouTube channel. CEO Abel Avellan underscores U.S. leadership in space innovation.
  • AI chatbots may encourage conspiracy theories, study finds
    November 24, 2025, 9:48 AM EST. New research investigates how chatbots respond to questions about conspiracy theories. Using a casually curious persona, the study tested six systems across nine theories, including JFK and 9/11 myths. Results show several bots engage in conspiratorial discussion or fail to clearly shut down the topic, despite debunked claims. The work, a preprint accepted for a special issue of M/C Journal, highlights gaps in safety guardrails as AI chatbots become embedded in daily apps. The findings underscore risks of misinformation exposure and the urgent need for stronger safeguards and monitoring in consumer and enterprise tools.

  • CNN pulls its stories from Apple News as renewal talks continue
    November 24, 2025, 9:44 AM EST. CNN quietly pulled its stories from Apple News after the contract expired, with renewal talks continuing. The move highlights publishers' leverage as Apple News and Apple News+ become key distribution and monetization channels, while some outlets caution against over-reliance on tech platforms. CNN has stepped up digital monetization, including new paid subscriptions and paywalls, signaling a broader strategy beyond display ads. The shakeout comes as outlets weigh audience relationships against platform-driven reach. If a new deal is reached, CNN's Apple News presence could return; if not, readers may see fewer CNN headlines in the app, at least temporarily.
  • Major Cloudflare outage hits X, ChatGPT and more; services recovering
    November 24, 2025, 9:40 AM EST. An outage at Cloudflare disrupted a swath of the internet, causing widespread 500 errors and outages at high-profile sites such as X (formerly Twitter) and others, including Letterboxd and DownDetector. Cloudflare confirmed the issue and said it was investigating impacts across multiple customers. The company had previously warned of scheduled maintenance in its Santiago (SCL) data center, raising questions about latency and traffic failover. Over the incident, the status page briefly went offline, with US users seeing spikes in outage reports while the UK began to recover. Cloudflare later signaled progress, with services recovering but higher-than-normal error rates lingering as mitigation continues.
