Nintendo's Black Friday 2025 Sales Are Pretty Disappointing
"Let's start with which deals the Nintendo Black Friday 2025 sale does include. First, Samsung MicroSD Express Cards for Switch 2 will be $20 off at select stores starting November 30. Second, a handful of Zelda and Street Fighter 6 amiibo will be $10 off. Finally, here are the Nintendo games that will be discounted starting November 23: Princess Peach: Showtime! - $40 (33 percent off)"
"Most of these are either B-tier releases or came out quite a while ago. There's no The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom, and Mario Kart is MIA as well. Other retailers might run their own discounts on physical Nintendo games, but it seems pretty clear the company is treating much of its back catalog as functionally brand-new releases for potential new Switch 2 owners this holiday."
Black Friday 2025 Nintendo offerings are limited and keep the Switch 2 at full price. Select Samsung MicroSD Express Cards for Switch 2 will be $20 off at participating stores starting November 30, and certain Zelda and Street Fighter 6 amiibo will be $10 off. Multiple Nintendo titles drop to $40 or $30, including Princess Peach: Showtime!, Echoes of Wisdom, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Super Mario Odyssey, and Splatoon 3. Major first-party hits like Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, and Mario Kart are absent, leaving modest discounts focused on older or B-tier catalogue entries instead of deep bundles or console price cuts.
