The 2018 Nintendo Black Friday Survival Guide

eShop Deals

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

Spend enough and you too can pay for a year of Switch Online with gold coins.

Nintendo dropped a major Switch eShop sale at noon ET on Wednesday. There were already 220+ games on sale across the various eShops before, with a plurality of them being Switch titles, but now the sales number more than 350. Nintendo of Europe also tends to have a sale, and even Japan appears to be getting in on the action starting Friday.

Among notable existing sales, Natsume's catalogue across all Nintendo systems is discounted by 50% in North America, which means most notably Wild Guns Reloaded on Switch is $9.99/$12.49. This sale will run until Monday. Choice Provisions games are on sale until the 29th, so the newly updated Runner3 can be picked up for $9.99/$10.99.

The full sales spreadsheet can be found here. Nintendo has a couple of entries on the Switch side with Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (US$41.99) and the first ever sale for Snipperclips ($9.99 for basic, essentially makes the Plus version $19.98). Bethesda is offering their lineup for 50% off: Doom, Wolfenstein II, and Skyrim. are all discounted. Ubisoft is pushing all in with stuff that released two weeks ago already on sale, plus 25% off your choice of Starlink editions. Surprisingly, Sega is also a big wheel in this sale with 50% off Shining Resonance Refrain.

There's nearly 200 Switch games on sale right now, some of which weren't included on Nintendo's cyber deals page (Sega Ages discounts!) so check the spreadsheet above. Most of the deals are for a week, so they go down at noon ET on Wednesday the 28th.

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?
