Special Buy: As part of the Best Buy Cyber Monday Deal, you can get the Nintendo Switch: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle for $299.99 and the Nintendo Switch OLED Mario Kart Bundle for $349.99.
Not to spoil the holiday mood, but do you remember back during the pandemic when price gougers made it near-impossible to find Nintendo Switch consoles at a reasonable price? As shopping journalists, we remember all too well. Ever since, Nintendo and the big retailers have mostly kept these popular consoles in stock, thank goodness. But during Black Friday 2024, we’ve seen Nintendo Switch bundles selling out fast at Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and elsewhere.
Of all the products selling out during Black Friday, none have gone faster than the Nintendo Switch: Mario Kart 8 Bundles. And just when we were starting to give up hope, Best Buy came through with a surprise restock. On Sunday, Dec. 1, Best Buy launched its Cyber Monday sale online, and with it, a fresh supply of Switch consoles dropped.
While they’re not technically on sale, shoppers are essentially getting a free copy of Mario Kart 8 with their purchase.
The bundle is available in two versions: with the regular Nintendo Switch and with the new Nintendo Switch OLED. We liked the OLED, but it’s a non-essential upgrade if you’re on a budget (and who isn’t right now?). As for Mario Kart — well, some games need no explanation. Generations of gamers have played this game, and if you’re buying a Switch as a gift, then you can pass on the love to yet another crop of youngsters.

It should go without saying, but we’ll say it anyway: We don’t expect these bundles to stay in stock long.
