Woot is holding nothing back for its early Black Friday Nintendo Switch game deals (2024)

Woot is holding nothing back for its early Black Friday Nintendo Switch game deals (1)

With November well and truly underway we're closer than ever to Black Friday and all the juicy Nintendo Switch deals that come with it. Some of the biggest US retailers like Best Buy and Walmart have already officially sounded the alarm for their early deals, but we still have a while until the biggest deals truly kick off. That hasn't stopped sites like Amazon's Woot from knocking down the prices of a ton of Switch games and coming up with the kind of discounts I'd expect to see later this month.

Woot hasn't been shy when it comes to producing some of the best Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals and games are no exception. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom just launched a few weeks ago and earlier this month the Amazon-owned retailer listed it for $10 off its MSRP. Now it's done it again and the latest installment in the Zelda series is just $44.99 at Woot, providing a saving of $15 off this brand-new game. That's not it for first-party 2024 releases either. Princess Peach: Showtime is also just $44.99 at Woot, and the newly-released Sonic x Shadow Generations has followed suit with $10 off its hefty original price tag.

Some of the discounts are better than others and just $10 off in some cases may not seem like a lot. But it can take months for notable releases on the Switch to see any change in price. It's very likely we'll see prices like these appear once the deal extravaganza is officially underway, but for now, these are some of the best early Black Friday Switch game deals I've come across so far.

Should you buy Nintendo Switch games before Black Friday?

Woot is holding nothing back for its early Black Friday Nintendo Switch game deals (10)

Black Friday is closer than ever, and typically I'd always recommend waiting for kick off before making any purchases, regardless if you're picking up Nintendo Switch games or not. As someone who's spent the majority of their life being a Nintendo fan on a budget, I always want to make sure I'm recommending the best possible discounts and deals I can so you can still enjoy games while not putting yourself out. And typically, you're gonna find those when Black Friday is properly underway. That being said, Black Friday feels like it comes around sooner every year, so it's hard to ignore deals that come my way, like the ones provided by Woot.

Nintendo Switch games are also known to be on the pricey side. I mostly collect physical games, and if I don't pick up one of the best PS5 games at launch I have comfort in the knowledge it'll slowly get cheaper over time. Where Nintendo is concerned, even multiple years later, titles like Super Mario Odyssey ($49.95 at Amazon) can still be close to full price, so any new discount can be a huge deal.

If you ignore the fact I'm a Zelda die-hard fan, I can't ignore that Echoes of Wisdom is $15 off at Woot, especially as the game isn't even a month old. The latest Zelda game and any of the deals I've found above could very well make an appearance throughout Black Friday, and I suspect some of them will. However, if you want to boost your collection or pick up a Switch game as a gift in time for the holidays, these early Black Friday Nintendo Switch game deals are still worth it.

Keep an eye on our Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals hub if you also plan on checking out even more deals on games, accessories, and even some console bundles too. If Nintendo isn't your jam, check out our Black Friday PS5 deals and Black Friday Xbox deals for more huge savings this month.

Hardware Editor

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
