The Nintendo Switch has been the bestselling video game console in the world for nearly two years straight, and social distancing has made the portable gaming system even more popular during 2020.
While the newly launched PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X are also in high demand, the Switch is more likely to be in stock online and in-stores throughout Cyber Monday today and the rest of the holiday season.
Major retailers, like GameStop, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and even Kohl’s, had $300 Switch bundles in stock for
Black Friday
, but those have now sold out. For
Cyber Monday
, however, many of Nintendo’s hit games are still on sale for 50% off or more.
Below, we’ve rounded up the best Cyber Monday deals today on Nintendo Switch consoles, games, and accessories that we’ve found so far:
Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday deals
The Switch hasn’t seen significant discounts below its $300 price tag since its March 2017 release, and today’s Cyber Monday sales are no different. Still, if you need a Nintendo Switch, you might be able to find one at its regular price now. The system has been selling out, but new stock could be added to online retailers.
The $200 Switch Lite is a cheaper alternative to the standard Switch, but it can’t be connected to TVs. While there aren’t any special Cyber Monday deals, it could still be a good pick for young children or as a secondary Switch used for traveling.
The Nintendo Switch is a well-designed and versatile console that can be played on the go or plugged into a TV at home. Switch consoles are not on sale for Cyber Monday, but stock has been limited all year, so grabbing one while you can is a good idea.
This is the more portable version of the popular gaming console, the Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo’s exclusive franchises, like “Super Mario,” “Pokémon,” and “The Legend of Zelda,” are the Switch’s main attraction, and you’ll find games from those series on sale at most major retailers during Cyber Monday today.
