Nintendo Switch Sports console bundle | AU$469.95 AU$419 at Amazon (save AU$50.95)

The biggest downside to buying a Nintendo Switch is that you then have to fork out some extra cash to buy a game to play on it, so it's nice to see some bundle offers from Nintendo from time to time. Having just been released, we're surprised to find a solid 11% off discount on this bundle already – making it a great chance to pick one up if you're after a Christmas gift for the gamer in your life.

Nintendo Switch Online Family Membership (12 months) | AU$54.95 AU$46.70 at Amazon (save AU$8.25)

A Family membership is already a super affordable option for Nintendo Switch Online, especially if you split the cost with up to seven other accounts. It's even better though with a AU$8.25 discount. Whether you use it for your household, or split it with friends from afar, this membership will give you access to online gameplay in games such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as well as the catalogues for the Super NES and Game Boy games.

Nintendo Switch Sports | AU$69.95 AU$54 at Amazon (save AU$15.95)

Play your favourite sports right in your living room with a copy of Nintendo Switch Sports. Bundled with the leg strap, you’ll be able to kick goals in a soccer shootout, so you can get more involved than with typical Switch games. Just under AU$16 off is a nice deal, but we’re hoping to see this game come down further than its lowest price from 2022. Also available at JB Hi-Fi for AU$54.

Detective Pikachu Returns (Switch) | AU$69.95 AU$59 at Amazon (save AU$10.95)

Mario’s latest adventure is here, and it’s already nabbed a modest discount on Amazon. Super Mario Bros.

Choose from a big cast of some of the most recognisable characters in the series and explore the vibrant lands with the new Wonder Flowers that affect the levels in a variety of magical ways. First-party Nintendo Switch titles don’t often pick up big savings, especially when they’re brand new, but it might be worth waiting just a bit longer to see if this game scores a bigger discount closer to Black Friday.

Pikmin 4 (Switch) | AU$79.95 AU$64 at Amazon (save AU$25.95)

Nintendo Switch Pro controller | AU$99.95 AU$89 at Amazon (save AU$10.95)

Looking for a new controller for your Nintendo Switch? The Pro controller is designed so you can game in comfort without impacting your performance. Whether you’re playing a fighting game like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or you’re racing around tracks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, it’s a great option if you prefer a traditional controller over the Joy-Cons. It’s only nabbed a AU$10 discount on Amazon, and the lowest it fell on Black Friday was AU$84.

PowerA Enhanced wired controller | AU$44.95 from AU$33.95 at The Gamesmen eBay (save up to AU$11)

Prefer a controller over the Joy-Cons? PowerA offers a variety of controllers with stunning designs inspired by various Nintendo Switch games.

Compatible with the Nintendo Switch and PC games, the 8BitDo Arcade Stick features classic buttons and a joystick that can be programmed to your liking to customise your gameplay, as well as Bluetooth and USB-C connection. Mwave has the best price on it right now, but fingers crossed the price drops even further approaching Black Friday.

Logitech G335 wired gaming headset (white) | AU$129.95 AU$99.95 at The Gamesmen eBay (save AU$30)

Nintendo Switch Console (Neon) with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + 3 Month Switch Online Subscription | AU$469.95 AU$379 at Amazon (AU$90.95 off)

One of the biggest issues when buying a Nintendo Switch is that it typically doesn’t come with any games, so bundles like this make a perfect Christmas morning present as you can jump right in for some holiday-friendly Mario Kart racing. Plus, this bundle also comes with a Switch Online subscription, so you could enjoy online races and experience all the subscription perks with no extra costs for the first 3 months. Overall, this is a pretty sweet bundle with a console that we rated 4 out of 5 stars in our Nintendo Switch review.

In 2021, this bundle came down to AU$399, then in 2022, it dropped even further to AU$379. We’re hoping that in 2023 this bundle gets an even bigger discount, but we’ll likely have to wait until the Black Friday weekend before it pops up again. 

Nintendo Switch OLED Model Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Edition | AU$549.95 AU$492.10 via Big W eBay (save AU$57.85)

One year ago, the latest Pokémon games hit the shelves, and a beautifully themed Nintendo Switch OLED console along with them. Featuring the 9th generation starters from the Paldea region in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, it was a nice surprise to see a solid deal on this version of the Nintendo Switch OLED, though it wasn’t the biggest discount on one in 2022.

On October 25 2022, the Splatoon 3 themed Nintendo Switch OLED came down to a staggering AU$379 for eBay Plus members. At the time, it was the lowest price we’d seen for a Nintendo Switch OLED console. In 2023, there’s a nice variety of themed Switches including one that was released alongside The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, so it’s very likely that the themed consoles will once again get the Black Friday treatment this time around.

Super Mario Odyssey | AU$79.95 AU$64 at Amazon (AU$15.95 off)

Nintendo’s most recognisable mascot embarked on an epic adventure in his Nintendo Switch debut. Even 6 years after its release, Super Mario Odyssey is still a fantastic story that will have you jumping into Mario’s shoes as he travels to diverse lands in order to track down Bowser and rescue Princess Peach. Joining forces with Cappy, you’ll have to put your platforming skills to work in order to collect all the moons and battle iconic enemies from the Mario franchise.

During Black Friday 2022, this game came down to AU$64, which isn’t a huge discount. But with the latest round of Mario games on the horizon, we’re hoping that Black Friday 2023 will finally deliver a huge discount on this first-party title – though there’s no guarantees as discounts on Nintendo titles can be few and far between.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild | AU$89.95 AU$72 at Amazon (save AU$17.95)

With its sequel finally here, we’ve got our fingers crossed that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will pick up a massive discount in Black Friday 2023. At the time of writing, you can pick up this game for just AU$68.95 on Amazon, already surpassing this 2022 Black Friday deal, so there’s a good chance that this day one Nintendo Switch title could get an even bigger saving this time around.

Additionally, given that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, came out in May, it could even nab a deal during the upcoming November sales, but it probably won’t hit the same price as we’ll get on its predecessor.

Nintendo Switch Sports | AU$69.95 AU$54 at Amazon (AU$15.95 off)

Playing sports typically involves going outside, but Nintendo has once again found a way to get you up and moving without leaving the comfort of your lounge room. Nintendo Sports offers a variety including soccer, tennis, bowling, volleyball and more, plus in 2022 you could nab a modest discount on this game that came with the leg strap which allows you to simulate scoring a goal without actually kicking a ball directly into your TV.
