First up is Black Friday goodies.
A Legend of Zelda Themed 2DS with Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D preloaded onto it for $79. 99. Note: This is the standard 2DS not the NEW 2DS. (Yes, Nintendo naming conventions are terrible. ) Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild- Explorer’s Edition includes the original game, a 100-page “explorer’s guide”, and a 2 sided map all for $59. 99. (The header image depicts this item. ) Note: This release does not include any DLC.
In addition to these Black Friday specific deals, there are also some other bundles that are available currently.
A Nintendo Switch - Super Mario Odyssey bundle comes with a Switch, along with a Mario themed red Joy-Con controller, a download code for Super Mario Odyssey– which we here at Gameskinny really loved by the way– and a carrying case, all for $379. 99. Considering the Switch + controller is usually $300 and SMO is $60, this isn’t a deal per se, just a bundle. White and Red 2DS with New Super Mario Bros 2 preloaded onto it for $79. 99. There will be a similar bundle with Mario Kart 7 pre-loaded onto a blue 2DS. White and Orange NEW 2DS XL for $149. 99. Pokeball Edition NEW 2DS XL for $159. 99.
Finally, getting away from the various consoles, we have a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Special Edition that will come with a metal game case, 220-page hardback art book, along with a CD loaded with a part of the OST. This will set you back $99.99.
Continuing with the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 theme, there will also be a special XBC2 Nintendo Switch Pro themed controller for $74.99.
Personally, I feel this whole batch of deals is a little underwhelming. In particular, the Nintendo Switch is a trending purchase, so it’s disappointing to see that there is not going to even be a moderate discount to the system over the holiday season. The good news, however, is that just because Nintendo isn’t putting a product you want on sale, it doesn’t mean a retailer near you won’t be. So keep your eyes out for more news on Black Friday deals and continue to be a savvy shopper.
