Black Friday is here, bringing solid discounts on numerous goodies across various platforms. Nintendo Switch games are also on sale, with many price cuts on offer for both old and new players to avail of. These discounts may not be particularly steep, but given that Nintendo games rarely go on sale, now is the right time to buy.
The games on sale include both first and third-party titles. The selection is kind of limited, but there are various sites to check out. These don't just include the official Nintendo eShop but also Best Buy for Black Friday deals.
Note that all prices for this Black Friday feature are in US Dollars.
Here are 10 great Black Friday deals for Nintendo Switch games to check out
10) Sonic Frontiers (33% off/$39.99, Best Buy)
Released recently for consoles and PCs, the blue hedgehog's latest adventure goes fully open-world. Explore the Starfall Islands as Sonic and uncover the mysteries behind its ruins and bizarre hostile enemies littering the land. With a vast landscape to zoom across, there are tons of minigames to engage in, puzzles to solve, collectibles to grab, and foes to defeat.
However, the traditional "linear" platforming level design that the series is known for is also retained in the form of ramps scattered throughout each biome as well as Cyberspace segments. A decent 33% off for a brand-new game like Sonic Frontiers is too good to pass on, all thanks to Black Friday deals.

Pick up a weapon of your choice and engage in in-depth combat maneuvers against large-scale threats. Each featuring unique attack patterns and behavior, the monsters in Rise are all unique and demand skill and effort to take down.

However, Breath of the Wild keeps the core of the series intact through handcrafted dungeons, exploration, and puzzle-solving. Explore new gear and harvest resources to survive the world's dangers. With Link waking up to a post-apocalyptic Hyrule 100 years into the future, he sets out to defeat Calamity Ganon and make things right.
