Nintendo announced its on November 9: Here’s a sneak peek of what’s to come this holiday season:

• Nintendo Switch System Bundle – $ 299.99 (save $ 66.99)

• Select your own Nintendo Switch games – $ 39.99 (save $ 20)

• Pokémon: Come on, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Come on, Eevee! – $ 29.99 (save $ 29.99)

• Minecraft dungeons Hero Edition – $ 19.99 (save $ 10)

If there’s one thing people would have fought for on Black Friday 2020, it would have been the Nintendo Switch.

Fortunately (at least from a public safety standpoint), the big holiday sales from most retailers will be taking place online this year. Instead of stepping over a console between the end caps of a Walmart aisle at 3am, you’ll need to be one of the first to click the “Place Your Order” button once the deals go live. .

That doesn’t mean things don’t get a bit risky, especially if reseller payment bots come into play again (as they did last spring). But the good news is, you’ve got plenty of time to come up with a game plan: Nintendo just revealed its 2020 lineup of Black Friday deals.
