Nintendo Switch Black Friday sale news: Console will not be discounted
After some strategic marketing moves as well as the port of other triple-A titles into the system, the Nintendo Switch has received an unprecedented spike in terms of the demand for the console. In line with that, the Black Friday sale is the perfect time to buy one for loved ones as well as for personal use. Given that most giant stores will be slashing prices on most of their products, which ones will have the best deal for the Nintendo Switch?
In a report by International Business Times, numerous retailers will be offering the Nintendo Switch titles and will have their corresponding discounts. However, Walmart has already made it very clear that the Nintendo console itself will not be offered at a discount. The same goes for Best Buy, which will also be offering the console at regular price; and Target has yet to announce the availability of the console at their stores.
It is important to note that the Nintendo Switch consoles themselves will be in limited quantities, according to CNET. However, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop will be offering the limited-edition preinstalled "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" for the Nintendo 2DS for $80. On a regular day, the classic title costs about $40 on its own, which makes this a must-buy for "Legend of Zelda" fans.
Most likely, the Nintendo Switch will not be seen on shelves for Black Friday. The good news is, according to Gamespot, multiple Nintendo accessories will be offered at a discount. These discounts will allow faithful Nintendo fans to customize their consoles, as well as their controllers to cater to their own personal tastes.
Some of these accessories include the Nintendo Switch Premium Upgrade Kit, which is inclusive of a kickstand, charge base, charge link, charge block, and screen armor. All of these items are bundled together in one pack and will cost $50. The price is regularly at almost $100. As for the titles, the online fighting video game "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" will cost just $25 from $50, while "Rayman Legends" will only be priced at $20.
