Cyber Monday is finally here, and today is one of the last days to pick up some great deals. The best Nintendo Switch deals we’ve found so far are available at Gamestop, Adorama, and Best Buy.
The very latest Switch model numbered HAC-001 (-01) with its better battery life is available in a bundle at Best Buy, making it one of the best deals you can get on the Switch. Adorama is selling a bundle that includes the original Nintendo Switch model, which launched in 2017 (model number HAC-001), along with a game.
This latter model has no other tangible differences from the newer model other than slightly worse battery life out of the box.
The Nintendo Switch Lite console is also enjoying a bundle at eBay. You can pick up a Switch Lite bundled with your choice of Pokémon Sword or Shield for $229.99 - saving you half off the new game. The Switch Lite is unlikely to see better deals this Cyber Monday, given how new it is.
Best Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals for 2019:
- Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle, $299.99 from Adorama [You get the game for free]: Although the Switch itself isn't technically on sale, this bundle is still a great deal because it matches last year's promotion and it comes with one of the console's very best games. This bundle includes the first generation of the Nintendo Switch, which has slightly worse battery life than the newest model. (This bundle is temporarily on backorder).
- Nintendo Switch 2019 with Starlink: Battle for Atlas, $299.99 from Best Buy [You get the game for free]: This bundle is arguably a better deal because it includes the latest Nintendo Switch model known as HAC-001 (-01), which has slightly better battery life than the original. The bundle also includes a game featuring a major Nintendo character - Star Fox - but is technically a third-party game.
- Nintendo Switch Lite + Pokemon (Sword or Shield), $229.99 (originally $259.99) from eBay [You save $30]: This is the first Switch Lite bundle we've seen, and it's a great buy at this price. You'll get Nintendo's new entry-level console plus 50% off Pokemon (Sword or Shield), one of the best Pokemon games.
More Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday deals:
- Get the Nintendo Switch (2019 model) with a 128GB microSD card, $299.99 from Target [You get the microSD card for free]: Amazon has managed to find enough stock to keep selling the most popular Nintendo Switch bundle to date. Again, this bundle features the original Switch model.
- Nintendo Switch Lite, $193.89 (originally $199.99) from B&H Photo [You save $6.10]: This deal may not be great, but it's likely the only direct discount you're going to get on the Switch Lite alone this Cyber Monday.

Will the newest Nintendo Switch go on sale for Cyber Monday?
The newest Switch model from August 2019 is featured in a bundle at Best Buy right now. However, most deals for the Switch are on the original model (i.e. the model released in 2017). This is almost certainly due to excess stock of the original model. The only real difference between the two is that the newer 2019 model has slightly improved battery life over the original console.
For those specifically seeking the 2019 model, keep an eye out for model number HAC-001(-01). Also, look out for an updated serial number, which will start with "XKW."
What Nintendo Switch games will be on sale for Cyber Monday?
Both GameStop and Walmart are offering sizable deals on dozens of Nintendo Switch games both mainstream and indie.
Will the Nintendo Switch price drop in 2019?
Judging from what we've seen since last year, probably not until a new model is released with even better battery life, but rumors are abound of a Switch 2 or Switch Pro to be released in 2020.
