The 2018 Nintendo Black Friday Survival Guide

Black Friday In Canada

by Donald Theriault - November 21, 2018, 6:00 am EST

Sadly, your shipping might be slowed this time thanks to postal service (mis)management.

The below deals are sorted by retailer. Note that if dealing with online orders, there may be delays in arrival due to an ongoing dispute between Canada Post and its union.

Thanks for this!

I certainly don't need them, but I might pick up Fire Emblem Warriors and Bayonetta 2 for Switch.

From the eShop: The Digital Deluxe version of Starlink is down to $60. It includes all the digital versions of the ships and it's $132 if you buy everything separately.

EDIT: In addition, Warframe also has the same voice chat implementation Fortnite has. Just plug in a headset to the Switch and you're good to go.

For anyone who owns a system capable of playing them the PS1 classics versions of the Final Fantasy games are $5 a pop.

My backlog and wallet both hate me right now.

I'm curious, do these faster speeds matter with the Switch?
