Black Friday 2019 hasn't been the best for Nintendo Switch deals. Not only does the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Nintendo Switch bundle available at most retailers include the old version of the console with a worse battery life, but there aren't any Nintendo Switch Lite deals. At least, there weren't any Nintendo Switch Lite deals until today, Thanksgiving. A new Nintendo Switch Lite bundle including either Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Switch popped up on eBay this morning.
The Black Friday bundle in question combines a Nintendo Switch Lite, buyer picks a color from turquoise, grey, or yellow, and Pokemon Sword, Shield, or both. The savings isn't huge, with the overall discount being less than 10%, but it is more than is being offered elsewhere. The price of the console and game bundle is $229.99 and the price of the console and both games bundle is $295. In effect, it's buying a Nintendo Switch Lite at full price, $199.99, and then getting Pokemon Sword or Shield at half price.
For those who may be worried about purchasing anything on eBay, the Nationwide Distributors account has over 151,593 transactions on the platform and 99% positive feedback. They've even been granted eBay's Top Rated Plus badge for trusted sellers with fast shipping and easy returns. Fittingly, the Nintendo Switch bundle is confirmed to have free expedited shipping via FedEx's 2-Day service. Though, given the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, buyers may be waiting more than two days.

As for alternatives for holiday shoppers trying to pick up a Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch Lite for the holiday, the pickings are thin. Beyond the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle, there is a deal on Amazon for a new Nintendo Switch console. It's full price and isn't bundled with a game, but comes with $25 of Amazon credit. Walmart had a Minecraft Nintendo Switch bundle with the new version of the console, but it's now out of stock. There have been no other Nintendo Switch Lite deals. Shoppers may have limited options, but should keep their eyes open through the weekend.
To accompany a new Nintendo Switch purchase, there are a lot of great deals on Nintendo Switch software this Black Friday. Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and other retailers have all discounted several Nintendo Switch games, including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey, $20 or more. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is even $30 on Amazon for Black Friday. These are some of the best prices for Nintendo Switch games ever, and may be the best until Black Friday comes around again.
