Nintendo Switch Mario Kart Bundle Is Only $225 With Black Friday Doorbuster Deal
Nintendo’s official Black Friday deals are starting to go live at major retailers, and Best Buy’s lineup of deals includes two very welcome surprises: $75 discounts on the Nintendo Switch OLED and Nintendo Switch holiday bundles. Both bundles include Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a 12-Month Switch Online membership. The Switch OLED Mario Kart bundle is available for only $275, while the regular Switch Mario Kart bundle is down to $225.
Best Buy – Black Friday Doorbuster Deals
Save on extra Switch controllers:
Nintendo Switch consoles without $80 worth of free stuff–Mario Kart 8 Deluxe costs $60, Switch Online is $20–have never received discounts like this from a major retailer, so Best Buy’s Doorbuster is by far the best Switch console deal we’ve seen. As such, we wouldn’t be surprised to see both of these bundles sell out soon.
You can use your savings on the console to pick up a steeply discounted game or extra controller. Along with this unprecedented pair of console deals, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and Neon Red/Blue Joy-Con Controller Set have received their biggest discounts yet. You can save $20 on each, dropping the price of the Pro Controller to $50 and the pair of Joy-Con Controllers to $60.
A bunch of notable Switch-exclusive games are featured in the Black Friday sale, too. Super Mario Odyssey is only $30, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is down to $40, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons is also up for grabs for $40.

$275 (was $350) | Best Buy Black Friday Doorbuster Deal
November 24 Update: Best Buy has a Black Friday Doorbuster that drops the price of the Switch OLED holiday bundle to $275, the lowest ever for a Nintendo Switch OLED at a major retailer.
The Nintendo Switch OLED Mario Kart bundle comes with the console with white Joy-Cons and matching white docking station, 12 months of Switch Online, and a voucher to claim Mario Kart 8 Deluxe from the Nintendo eShop. You’re getting $80 worth of additional content compared to buying the console ($350), Mario Kart ($60), and Switch Online ($20) individually.
Along with the sharp, larger OLED screen, you’re getting numerous quality-of-life upgrades compared to the base model. The Switch OLED has a wider, better-designed dock with an ethernet port, improved speakers, and double the internal storage space (64GB). Plus, the built-in kickstand is significantly improved for tabletop mode.
You can buy the bundle at Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and GameStop.
As for the included game code, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the top-selling Switch game of all time–though this record does include previous console bundles. First released on the Wii U and then later ported to Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has greatly expanded over the years with a series of DLC tracks. If you’re buying the console bundle as a gift, we’d recommend picking up the Booster Course Pass for $25, as this adds 48 tracks to the game, effectively doubling its size.
The 12-month subscription to Switch Online also broadens your gaming options, as it lets you access online multiplayer, store game save data online, and unlocks a growing library of NES, SNES, and Game Boy games. While details on the Switch successor are expected to be revealed by next year, there are still plenty of exciting games coming to current Switch consoles throughout the rest of 2024 and next year.
If you’re interested in the smaller, portable-only Nintendo Switch Lite, Nintendo released the new Hyrule Edition handheld alongside The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on September 26. You can buy the Zelda-themed Switch Lite for $210. It doesn’t come with the game, but you will get a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, which grants access to even more retro Nintendo games.
