The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller has finally received an official, substantial discount for Black Friday. It only took seven-plus years for it to happen, but if you’ve exercised extreme patience, you have finally been rewarded. The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is on sale for $20 off at Best Buy, dropping the price from $70 down to $50. Needless to say, this is the best discount ever on the official Switch controller, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see this offer sell out before Black Friday sales end.
You can also save $20 on a pair of Neon Red and Blue Joy-Con Controllers. And if you’re in the market for a Nintendo Switch console this holiday, Target and Best Buy have ridiculously good deals on the Nintendo Switch holiday bundles. You can get the Nintendo Switch OLED Mario Kart bundle for only $275 or the regular Nintendo Switch Mario Kart bundle for only $225.
$50 (was $70)
The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller remains our top pick on our best Switch controllers list all these years later. It’s significantly better for docked play than slotting two controllers in the Joy-Con Grip. It also has chunkier face buttons, full-size analog sticks, and larger triggers. It also has a real D-pad, which is a big plus when compared to Joy-Con Controllers.
The Switch Pro Controller is equipped with Nintendo’s HD rumble, gyro sensors for motion controls, and has an NFC reader to tap Nintendo’s Amiibo figures. Since it’s a Bluetooth controller, the Pro Controller also works great on PC, Mac, mobile, Steam Deck, and several other devices. It charges via USB-C and runs for up to 40 hours on a full battery.
The Pro Controller is a great all-around controller with superb ergonomics. It rivals the Xbox Wireless Controller for the title of comfiest controller with offset sticks.
The Switch Pro Controller Black Friday deal is currently available at Best Buy and Target. Walmart will also have this deal starting November 25.
As mentioned, the Switch and Switch OLED holiday bundles are up for grabs for $75 off. Both consoles come bundled with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a 12-Month Nintendo Switch Online membership. You’re getting $80 worth of “freebies” with each, which is why the holiday bundles typically don’t receive outright discounts during Black Friday. These are the best Nintendo Switch deals ever offered by a major retailer.
A nice selection of first-party Nintendo games is on sale for Black Friday, too. A trio of Mario platformers have received substantial discounts. Most notably, you can get Super Mario Odyssey for only $30. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom‘s $40 price is a new all-time low. The cozy sim Animal Crossing: New Horizons rarely receives discounts, so this $20 price cut is definitely worth checking out. This is also the first time the remastered collection of the first two Pikmin games has been discounted, so snag Pikmin 1 + 2 for $30 before it’s gone.
