The best Nintendo Switch deal for Cyber Week includes a $20 credit and a case

Some of the best bundles and deals have come and gone with the passing of Cyber Monday, but there are a few solid deals that remain. The holiday shopping season is still going strong with the latest Cyber Week sales happening at Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy right now. One such sale is this Walmart-exclusive Nintendo Switch Bundle with Mario Red Joy-Con, $20 Nintendo eShop Credit, and Carrying Case. Nintendo Switch deals like this don’t come around all too often, so you won’t want to let this one slip.

For $300 you get the Mario red left and right Joy-Con controllers, along with an updated version of Nintendo’s eight-generation handheld/home console hybrid. It offers an increased battery life ranging from 4.5 to 9 hours depending on the game being played while using your Switch in handheld mode. This bundle also includes a $20 store credit for Nintendo’s digital storefront, Nintendo eShop, as well as a carrying case that’s ideal for those who are playing their Switch in handheld mode. Another interesting detail about this bundle is the Joy-Con controller color variant – most Nintendo Switch consoles include either space gray or red/blue Joy-Cons with the console. This is the second Nintendo Switch bundle to include the Mario red Joy-Con color scheme. it joins the Super Mario Odyssey Nintendo Switch bundle released a few years back.

In the past, Nintendo has been extremely stingy when it comes to discounting its gaming systems, especially the Nintendo Switch and the recently released Nintendo Switch Lite. Even though the Walmart-exclusive deal does not offer massive savings on the system, the bundle does include a free carrying case, which is ideal for playing their Switch on the go. The $20 Nintendo eShop credit allows users to purchase a digital game for the system. Though it does not come with any titles, you can take a look at some of the best Nintendo Switch games on the market today.

Alongside this amazing deal, Walmart is offering discounts on several digital games available on the Switch, including The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and Mario Tennis Aces, both of which are $40 each. Although you cannot use your $20 eShop credit to purchase some digital games via Walmart, the Nintendo eShop does offer a more expansive library of digital titles for you to purchase, or you can use the eShop credit to purchase some downloadable content for select games, including Mortal Kombart 11 or Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, both of which include post-launch content that adds additional fighters to each game’s roster.

Switch vs. PS4 vs. Xbox One: Which console should you buy?

When it comes to overall power, the Switch can’t really compete with Xbox or PS4 consoles. So if you’re going to compare the Switch to the Xbox One or PS4, you really want to stick to looking at the exclusives. Nintendo is one of those companies that has really built up their brand from nostalgic game franchises like Mario Kart and The Legend of Zelda, which you won’t find on any other system. It also comes with a bevy of really good indie games that have been produced solely on the platform.

Another main difference between the Switch and its competitors is the ability to switch between handheld and console mode. This versatility has really given Nintendo the advantage with anyone who enjoys gaming on the go.

Keeping track of every new video game release is a nearly impossible task. Ggames are constantly being announced, delayed, rereleased on new platforms, remastered, canceled — you get the point. With the upcoming games lineup constantly shifting on PC, Switch, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5 and mobile, it can be hard to find games to look forward to playing (and to budget for) in the coming months.

Despite the herculean task of tracking an entire year of video game release dates, we're giving it our best shot. Check out this month-by-month schedule of new video game releases. We're focusing mainly on highly anticipated titles with concrete release dates, but will also include little-known indies and keep an eye on launch plans for up-in-the-air titles like Grand Theft Auto 6 or games that are still very early on in development like Hogwarts Legacy 2 or The Last of Us Part 3. If you're looking to get a quick glance at the future of video games, this is the place. We'll keep this list updated and as accurate as possible at regular intervals.

The best Lego games for Nintendo Switch

You can't talk about the best Switch games without at least one Lego game coming up. These games have adapted all of the major franchises, from superheroes to fantasy characters, into some of the most enjoyable games for kids and adults. Or, better yet, play them together since nearly all of them are best played in local multiplayer. At this point in the Switch's lifecycle, there are over a dozen Lego games out there to pick from. While you could always go with whichever one is based on your favorite franchise, there are a few others not based on a license that are just as good. These are our picks for the best Lego games on the Switch that mix in both license properties and original IPs.

If you do plan on playing these with a friend or family member, make sure you have a spare controller ready.

The Nintendo Switch is one of the most popular consoles Nintendo has ever produced, with a wide variety of games to choose from and plenty of unique features. We’ve already gotten to play new entries across the Zelda, Super Mario, and Pokémon series on Nintendo Switch, but there are still plenty of great games on the way for the hybrid console. These include exclusive games developed internally by Nintendo, as well as third-party titles and ports of games that are also available on other platforms. Not all upcoming video games make their way to Switch, but plenty do!

Here's our list of the best upcoming Nintendo Switch games for 2024 and beyond. Of course, some titles without release windows could skip the Switch entirely and wind up on the Nintendo Switch 2 (or whatever it ends up being called). And if you're looking at future releases on multiple consoles, don't forget to check out what's upcoming on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC this year.
