The Nintendo Switch handheld game console has been a hot-ticket wish-list item for years. While getting your hands on it may have been challenging in the past, deals are finally flowing for the popular system.
One thing to note as you’re trying to decide which model is the best fit: The Switch Lite works only as a handheld console, the standard Switch can connect to a TV for big-screen gaming as well as on-the-go play, and the OLED version offers the same features as the regular Switch, just with higher-definition visual quality.
We found two Nintendo Switch bundles on sale for Black Friday—one with the standard Switch, and the other with the OLED version—but both come with a free download of Mario Kart 8.
The Switch is the most popular console, with plenty of fun games and few downsides, and it’s a favorite among Wirecutter staffers.
Unquestionably the nicest Switch console you can buy, the OLED version has a beautiful screen, better sound, and a useful built-in stand.
No matter which Switch you choose, now is an excellent time to get one—for yourself or a great kid in your life—and be guaranteed an activity that will keep everyone busy this holiday season.
If you’re looking for a gift for someone who already owns a Switch, you can pick up any number of games that are on sale. Check them out on our Wirecutter Deals page.
We also found Joy-Con controllers on-sale, if you’re looking to add more players to your gaming sessions.
Detachable controllers for your Switch, which can be split as individual controllers for multiplayer games or combined to make one gamepad.
Or consider this accessory for power players to reduce hand fatigue.
