Nintendo will not discount Switch 2 hardware for Black Friday 2025 but will run a week-long sale (Nov. 23–29) on select first‑party Switch games — many priced at $29.99 and others at $39.99 — and offer a $20 discount on a 256GB Nintendo‑branded microSD Express card for Cyber Monday (Nov. 30–Dec. 1). The limited scope of promotions suggests Nintendo is protecting console ASPs and margins while using software and accessory discounts to drive attach rates and digital/aftermarket spend; the microSD deal in particular targets Switch 2 owners who must buy new cards to expand storage. With Switch 2 stock shortages resolved since July, the company appears comfortable eschewing aggressive hardware promotions, though retailers could still run their own bundle incentives.
Nintendo announced Black Friday plans that exclude discounts on Switch 2 hardware while running a week-long first‑party game sale from November 23–29 with multiple titles priced at $29.99 (eg, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 3) and $39.99, and a $20 discount on a 256GB Nintendo‑branded microSD Express card for Cyber Monday (Nov 30–Dec 1). The digital sale will run via the Nintendo eShop and at participating retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target and Walmart, and the microSD deal explicitly targets Switch 2 owners who must buy new Express cards to expand storage. By avoiding console price cuts — and noting Switch 2 stock shortages resolved in July — Nintendo is signaling a preference to protect console ASPs and margins while using software and accessory promotions to drive attach rates and aftermarket spend. Market signals show a mildly positive sentiment (0.15) and low market impact (0.12), implying the announcement is unlikely to materially re‑rate NTDOY absent stronger-than-expected sell‑through or retailer-driven console bundles.
