The Nintendo Switch 2 is available for $469 at Woot, offering a rare $30 discount ahead of the holiday shopping season.
Shoppers looking for hardware discounts before Black Friday can secure the standard Nintendo Switch 2 through Woot. The console usually retails for $499 following a $50 price increase implemented in September.
“While stock is tight on the new Zelda version of the Switch 2, you can snag the standard model already on sale before Black Friday,” Yahoo Tech reported.
The Woot offer runs through November 30. Buyers need an active Amazon Prime membership. The console features a 7.9-inch 1080p display and 256GB of internal storage. Reviewer Scott Stein detailed the magnetic-attaching controllers. The platform also supports expandable storage through microSD Express cards.
Nintendo of America announced official Black Friday promotions running from November 22 through December 5. The centerpiece hardware offer features the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle at a suggested retail price of $499.99. This saves buyers $50 off the standard price.
The Mario Kart bundle includes the system. It contains a full digital download of the game. Buyers get a 90-day Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership. Nintendo is also offering a Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Bundle for $529.99.
“fans around the world are showing their enthusiasm for Nintendo Switch 2 as an upgraded way to play at home and on the go,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America President and COO, following the system’s launch.
The system debuted on June 5. It sold more than 3.5 million units globally during its first four days on the market. The hardware library has since expanded with exclusives like Mario Kart World. Donkey Kong Bananza and Kirby Air Riders are also available. Major ports include Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy VII Remake.
