For anyone looking to get the best deal on a Nintendo product or device, nothing really beats the offers during the Black Friday shopping spree. Now the good news is this year's edition is happening today, which means there is no longer time to contemplate. Well, if one needs convincing, then here are some of the best Nintendo deals that are just way too good to pass up.

Per Gamesradar, there are so many options when it comes to buying the Nintendo 3DS on Black Friday, including the GameStop offer of $199.99 for the Nintendo 3DS XL, although the notable drawback is that it doesn't come with any game bundles. Meanwhile, Amazon offers the same price, but with more to it compared to GameStop's offer. The 3DS XL from Amazon comes in a Special Edition Lime Green color and has a free "Super Mario World" on Virtual Console. Now for anyone who wants a throwback on Black Friday, the Nintendo 2DS is being offered, along with a bundled "Mario Kart 7" game, for the price of $79.99 at Target.

As for the Nintendo 3DS, Forbes noted that several retailers are offering the handheld gaming device for a price of $99 with the same specifications, which is either a black or white colored product with the Mushroom Kingdom design. According to the report, this offering is likely the most common and easiest to get on Black Friday as many stores are set to offer it.

And then, of course, there's the less popular Nintendo Wii U device, which may not be as huge as the 3DS, but still offers the Japanese company's latest game titles. The 32 GB version of the console is available on Amazon for $296.07 and bundled with the video game "Mario Kart 8." At GameStop, there's a refurbished Wii U Deluxe console with 32 GB of storage sold for only $249.99, while the smaller and basic Wii U 8 GB version is also available at the same store for $199.99.

Fear, denial and control: Why the Cuban government prohibits the most natural responses to the country’s dire humanitarian needs

It may be hard to fathom how such pettiness plays into the government’s wider crackdown on FoRB and other fundamental human rights, or how on earth it could justify extending its repression to children, but ultimately it all comes down to fear.
