There's still time to save on Switch 2 gear, as well as one of the Switch 2 bundles available for the holiday season.

When it comes to holiday video game gifts, Nintendo gear is often at the top of the list for kids and adults like. This year likely more so than ever thanks to the launch of the Switch 2 back in the spring. But if you were hoping to save money on the console with Cyber Monday gaming deals still live, you may be disappointed. The Nintendo Cyber Monday sale was announced a few weeks ago, and unsurprisingly, there are a scant few real "deals" to be had. This is typical of Nintendo, though — actual Nintendo Cyber Monday deals are few and far between. However, there are ways to at least get the best value for your money if you're going to pick up a Switch 2 before this year is over.

As has been the case for many years, the marquee Nintendo deals for the holidays come in the form of console bundles. When the Switch 2 launched earlier this year, it was available as just the console only for $449 or bundled with Mario Kart World for $499. Both options are still available now. Considering the games by themselves cost $70 each, you do save a bit by picking up a console bundle. you can pick up the console and its bundles at most retailers including Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy and others.

As of Cyber Monday, there is one actual deal on the Switch 2 that wasn't available for Black Friday. Walmart currently have the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle for $50, bringing it down to $449. Note, though, that on Walmart, you'll have to be signed into a Walmart account, which is free to make, and add the item to your cart to see the discounted price. There's no telling how long this deal will last.

Nintendo Switch game deals

When it comes to deals on Nintendo Switch 2 games, the Nintendo eShop will have Cyber Deals starting on November 20, running through December 3.

Starting on November 23, select retailers will have discounts on some physical Switch games including Princess Peach: Showtime!, Luigi’s Mansion 3 and Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe, as well as other classics like Super Mario Odyssey, Nintendo Switch Sports, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Splatoon 3.

Dark Horse Books

The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia

There is so much lore and history to the Zelda franchise that it was difficult to keep things straight. That is, up until a few years ago when this compendium came out and finally corrected the record and shed some light on some of the murkier events across one of the most storied game sagas of all time. — Sam Rutherford, Senior Reporter

Hot Wheels Mario Kart Bowser's Castle Track set

This may not be a welcome sight for parents, but this is sure to delight children who love cars, Mario or both. And because it has room to store more than 30 karts, this might actually help reduce some clutter. That's a win-win situation in my book. — S.R.

Lego Super Mario Game Boy

When I first saw this Lego set in person, it took all my restraint not to run out and buy it for myself. Just look at it. If this doesn't conjure up cozy feelings of a handheld that chewed through AA batteries while keeping millions of kids entertained during road trips in the '90s, then you might be dead inside. Lego even includes some faux displays with a lenticular effect to give the impression that the game actually runs. Very neat. — S.R.

USAOPOLY

Hidden Pikmin 1,000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

If you're looking for a less frenetic nod to Nintendo's creations, this 1,000-piece Pikmin puzzle is fun for the whole family. It's the perfect activity to relax while enjoying good food, drink and the warmth of a nearby fire. And if this particular set doesn't do it, there's also an official Mario Kart-themed one as well. — S.R.

Kirby The Pink Puff Plush Mini Backpack

You can't hate Kirby. You just can't. He's just a lovable little puffball that deserves to go wherever he wants — and thanks to this backpack that looks like a plushie or this nifty little beanie, you can take him with you everywhere. — S.R.
