If you intend to pick up a few digital Nintendo Switch games over Black Friday, then now is the ideal time to make sure that your console storage is up to the task. This officially licensed Nintendo Switch SD card will boost your capacity by 128GB, more than enough for many top games.

It’s currently on sale for 46% off at Amazon, which is a decent price but not super spectacular. If you don’t need it right away, I would keep an eye out for an even steeper price cut over the coming days as it’s gone down to around the $9 mark on sale in the past.

Those in the UK also have a fantastic Nintendo Switch OLED bundle at their fingertips. This newly released package offers a Nintendo Switch OLED (in white), a digital copy of the superbSuper Mario Bros. Wonder, and 12 months of Nintendo Switch Online. As in the US, the game and membership come at no additional cost.

This is my personal favorite bundle of the year so far, asSuper Mario Bros. Wonderis an absolute treat and, in my opinion, a much better showcase of the hardware thanMario Kart 8 Deluxe. It’s comfortably one of the bestSuper Mariogames that I’ve ever played and a must-have for any potential Nintendo Switch owner.

Nintendo Switch OLED Super Mario Bros. Wonder Bundle:£299 at Currys

Here’s one of those bundles that I just mentioned and it happens to be possibly the best Nintendo Switch OLED deal in the US right now. In the box, you get a Nintendo Switch OLED console in its clean white colorway, a download copy ofMario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a 12 month Nintendo Switch Online membership.

Best of all, this bundle costs the same as just the Nintendo Switch OLED on its own - effectively giving you the game and membership for free.

Wondering what kind of deals to expect this Black Friday?

Rather than any particularly massive discounts on individual consoles themselves, I would expect the best value Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals to be console bundles. Nintendo often releases a couple at this time of year and we’re already seeing them on sale in both the US and UK.

These bundles allow you to pick up the console and get a top game likeMario Kart 8 DeluxeorSuper Mario Bros. Wonderat no additional cost, plus a few months of Nintendo Switch online membership which is great if you want to play with friends. These are fantastic value and make for excellent gifts, too.

Of course, there will still be a wide range of savings on Nintendo Switch games, accessories, and controllers. I’m already seeing discounts on headphones, cases, SD cards, and more, making this a great time for existing owners to upgrade their setups.
