Game on! Nintendo's Black Friday deals drop in 7 days — here are 5 to shop now

The original Nintendo Switch console is a bit pricey even when it's on sale. If you want to experience the system without breaking the bank, nab this smaller version on sale for well under $200. The controllers aren't removable on this version, but the gaming experience is very similar to its older sibling's.

Though this isn't the lowest the Switch Lite has been all year, it's still more affordable than its longest-running historical sale price of $191. Snag it now before the price reverts.

"The coolest handheld gaming system ever," one impressed shopper wrote. "If you like Mario games, look no further than here. Plus, the extra storage you can buy is perfect for plane rides — no switching game cards."

Speaking of extra storage, if you prefer downloading your games digitally instead of buying and storing physical ones, do yourself a favor and invest in a microSD card. With this deal, you get a pair, each with a generous amount of extra storage. You'll avoid that "low storage" notification thanks to these little green guys.

"Got this for extra Switch space and it immediately recognized it," one fan wrote. "No corruption on any files or issues whatsoever."

Here's another Switch favorite that over 20,000 shoppers gave a perfect five-star rating. This is one of those iconic adventure game staples that you must add to your collection. It's lighthearted, calming and easy to play on a day when you just need to unwind, but don't want to concentrate too intensely. The best way I can describe this game is "slow and steady."

In terms of price history, this one's fluctuated a bit over the past few months, but has remained steady at this price for a while.

"Do you like playing video games where you are rewarded for exploring, experimenting and being creative?" one gamer wrote. "I can think of no better game to get than Tears of the Kingdom — few [are] as good."

It goes without saying that Super Mario games are some of Nintendo's most popular, so finding this one on sale is pretty rare since the demand is so high. If you're a fan of the bold colors, vibrancy and adventure motifs in the Super Mario franchise, this game is sure to be your next obsession.

"Best 2D Mario game of all time," one reviewer wrote. "It's so creative and flourishing with life and emotion. A beautiful game, putting an end to the endless streak of the 'new' Super Mario Bros. games."

This was the most popular game during the pandemic. It gave everyone an escape and a little bit of joy while they stayed indoors. Now, it's having a resurgence with the colder months officially here. Create your own island, plant crops, fish, make friends and more with this adorable community-based game that just feels like a warm hug. While this isn't the most affordable it's been all year, you can't go wrong with this deal, especially considering that this game is essentially never-ending.

"Great game. Ages better than wine!" one impressed shopper wrote. "It's so much fun, so cute, adorable and there's quite a bit to do."
