Of course, the sales period is also a great time to buy a console if you don't already own one. Console bundles like the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle for just $249.99 at Walmart in the US and the Nintendo Switch Sports Bundle for only £249.99 at Argos in the UK are absolutely fantastic value and could even make for amazing gifts.

Although there are many great third-party gamepads available, the Switch Pro Controller remains the best all-around controller for Nintendo’s aging console. It’s much more comfortable to use a full-size controller than a pair of Joy-Cons for extended hours,

I've been tracking Black Friday offers for five years now, and I've never seen Nintendo Switch deals like this. First up, I certainly wasn't expecting to see console bundles dropping their prices again and games have taken me by surprise as well. This isn't my first rodeo, and I've developed quite the eye for a blockbuster discount over the years.
