This is a pretty nice double pack with Sonic Mania that is a take on classic Sonic gameplay with 2D sprites and sidescrolling levels including old favorites from the OG Sonic games. Mario Kart is king but Team Sonic Racing is actually a solid effort in the kart racing genre and adds its own twist with team racing. It's worth a look especially at this price.

And with the MGS Master Collection on Nintendo Switch, you can take these undisputed classics on the go.
The Phantom Thieves return once more in Persona 5 Tactica. This new spin-off from the beloved JRPG series adds a turned-based strategic twist to the formula, but while the battle system may be different, the loveable characters and jazzy-style Persona 5 is known for are still here in spades. Plus, there are a few new characters thrown into the mix to keep things plenty interesting.
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes combines the charm of LEGO games with the Marvel universe, offering action-packed gameplay and humor. Players can control iconic heroes like Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Hulk, exploring a sprawling open world and battling villains like Loki and Doctor Doom. With engaging puzzles, co-op play, and countless collectibles, it’s a fun adventure for Marvel fans of all ages!
Sonic Frontiers is the Blue Blur’s latest adventure, and it’s something of a departure from previous games. This time around, Sonic explores five distinct islands in a big open world, rescuing his motley crew of friends as he goes. The game has tight controls and varied gameplay, and the story is better than you might expect.
Sonic Origins Plus is a must-buy collection for long time fans of Sega's blue blur. It packages together the first three Sonic games and Sonic CD with HD visuals, and new opening and ending animations for each title. However, this isn't just a collection for nostalgic fans, it's also a great way for younger gamers to get up to speed with the origins of the fastest hedgehog on Earth.
A terrific return to form for the medium's most famous hedgehog. Sonic Superstars must rank as one of the finest series entries in the iconic franchise over the past 15 years. It wisely takes Sonic and pals back to their 16-bit platforming roots, delivering old-school speedster thrills that any gamer who ever owned a Sega Mega Drive will love.
Cuphead brings the critically acclaimed, hand-drawn, 1930s cartoon-inspired platformer to a portable audience on Nintendo Switch. Players take on challenging run-and-gun levels and intense boss battles as Cuphead and Mugman. Featuring stunning visuals, jazzy music, and tight gameplay, it’s a test of skill and patience.
Sea of Stars is a charming throwback to classic RPGs boasting engaging turn-bases combat and stunning pixel art graphics. In the vein of legendary role-playing experiences, you set off on a perilous quest epic, assembling a crew of loyal followers, and if you get bored of battling monsters, you can always go fishing to pass the time instead.
Just Dance is a fantastic game for parties and fun cardio exercise. Children and adults can get hours of enjoyment from the easy dance routines, and for true fitness enthusiasts, this game comes with a dedicated 'fitness' mode.

Set sail in two award-winning Assassin's Creed adventures in The Rebel Collection. Bundling together Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin's Creed: Rogue, become a pirate and an assassin hunter as you explore history, eliminate targets and get lost in two sizeable open worlds. This collection has been tailored for the Switch with touch-screen integration, and motion control aiming. And all single-player DLC is included.
This bundle packs in Ori and the Blind Forest and its sequel Ori and the Will of the Wisps. These soulful platformers are utterly beautiful and also prove surprisingly challenging thanks to some Metroidvania gameplay twists. These two games were originally released on Xbox consoles and PC, but they feel right at home on the Nintendo Switch and arguably play best on the go.
Sonic X Shadow Generations combines a remaster of 2011's Sonic Generations, a love letter to the Blue Blur that remains a fan-favorite to this day, with a new Shadow-focused campaign. It's a strong package, and it's perfectly timed ahead of the theatrical release of the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie.
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a delightful game that combines the animation style of the legendary Studio Ghibli with the monster-hunting gameplay of Pokémon. You play a young boy named Oliver on an adventure to save a strange other world from sinister forces and recuse his mother in the process. It's easily one of the most charming games on the Switch and will last you dozens of hours.
A full remake of the original Super Mario RPG released in 1996 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), this role-playing game sees Mario, Bowser, Peach and some new friends embark on an adventure to repair a wish-granting star. With updated graphics, gameplay and new cinematics, Super Mario RPG has never looked (or played) this well, but the original game's charms have been carefully retained as well.
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the highly-anticipated sequel to Breath of the Wild, and it doesn't disappoint. Step back into the world of Hyrule, and embark on Link's most perilous quest to date. You'll need to master new abilities such as Ultrahand and Fuse to unravel the mystery of what happened to Princess Zelda and defeat the sinister Ganondorf.
The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword on Nintendo Switch gives an HD makeover to one of the Nintendo Wii's most cinematic games. Discover the origin of Link, Zelda and the Master Sword in this engrossing action-adventure that can be played with traditional joystick inputs or via full motion controls. Skyward Sword has all the trappings of a classic Zelda with puzzle-solving and dungeon exploration a key focus, alongside intense combat and boss battles. While Skyward Sword was a little divisive upon release, the years have been kind to it.
Nintendo Switch accessories
If you want to keep your Nintendo Switch screen looking pristine and free from scratches, skip the flimsy official screen protector and opt for a durable tempered glass option like this one from amFilm. Tempered glass protectors are not only much stronger than plastic ones but are also easier to apply.
If you play fighting games or platformers on the go, Hori’s D-Pad Controller for the switch is essential. This accessory swaps out your left Joy-Con for a rubbery, accurate D-pad, offering the precise control the Switch has always needed in handheld mode. However, it only replaces the left Joy-Con and can't function as a standalone wireless controller for multiplayer sessions.
For touch-intensive games like Super Mario Maker 2, a stylus is essential. The AccuPoint Active Stylus is the best option we've tested for the Switch. It features a comfortable design, precise tips on both ends, and an impressive 12-hour battery life, making it a reliable and user-friendly accessory.
The 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth is the perfect alternative to the Switch Pro controller, and it's now dropped to just $47 in Amazon's massive Black Friday sale. You'll need to check the coupon box before checkout to get the full saving and it includes a Charging Dock.
UK deals
This bundle is one of the best ways to buy a Switch console. You get a Nintendo Switch lite with a copy of Animal Crossing New Horizons and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online membership, all for £10 less than the usual price of buying the console alone.
This bundle deal gets you a Nintendo Switch OLED console with a copy of Super Mario Bros. Wonder and a 12-month membership for Nintendo Switch Online. That means you'll be able to enjoy one of the Switch's best games on a console with a gorgeous 7-inch OLED display.
Captain Toad stars in his puzzle-focused adventure in Treasure Tracker. Each micro-course is a puzzle box to be explored, hiding secret Super Gems and Power Stars to be unearthed. You'll need to watch out for the many hazards in your way but don't worry, you can spin each 3D course to get the perfect vantage point. The Switch version of Captain Toad Treasure Tracker also includes several new levels inspired by Super Mario Odyssey.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is one of the most popular Switch games available, and even years after its launch it continues to dominate the best-sellers chart. This means any form of discount is pretty rare, but you can currently save on this must-have family-friendly hit.
While our Pokémon Scarlet and Violet review noted that there are some performance issues, there's still plenty of fun to be had here. So if you've been holding off on trying out Game Freak's take on open-world Pokémon, it's now seen a discount. Travel to the sprawling new region of Paldea in Pokémon Scarlet to battle gym leaders, uncover new Pokémon and, of course, catch 'em all...
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of the best and most popular games on Switch. Just look at our Breath of the Wild review, which called it "one of the finest games Nintendo has ever made." Amazon is currently offering only a small discount, but this is still fantastic value for a blockbuster experience offering dozens of hours of content.

Sonic Frontiers is a refreshing new spin on the Blue Blur's classic formula. Right now, Sonic Frontiers is on sale for $24 at Amazon, and it's a must-buy at this discounted price.
Inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Sonic Frontiers lets you lose on a lush open-world island dotted with points of interest for you to discover. The core gameplay is still platforming and running ridiculously fast, but the design tweaks make this feel like a new era for Sonic.
Sonic Frontiers: was $49 now $24 @ Amazon
Nintendo's Switch Mario Kart Bundle was already a solid deal for the holiday season at its MSRP of $299, but Walmart just went and made it even better with a $50 discount. While stock lasts, the Nintendo Switch Mario Kart Bundle is $249 at Walmart. Don't delay other retailers sold out during the Black Friday sales.
In this package you get a base Nintendo Switch console, sporting very funky Neon Red/Neon Blue Joy-Cons, and a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Get behind the wheel of a variety of blocky plastic-brick vehicles in Lego 2K Drive, a whacky open-world racer that is bursting with typical Lego charm and humor. It's also one of the cheapest Switch games you can buy this Cyber Monday.
For a limited time, Lego 2K Drive is on sale for $14 at Amazon, which is its lowest price to date. Offering a rewarding single-player campaign, and very silly mini-games, there's plenty to keep Lego fans busy. Plus, the multi-stage races, which see you competitive on land, sea and in the air, are a highlight. The significant number of microtransactions is disappointing though.
Lego 2K Drive: was $19 now $14 @ Amazon
Hogwarts Legacy on Nintendo Switch is on sale for $30 at Best Buy. That's a $30 saving on the best-selling Harry Potter RPG. In this original Wizarding World adventure, you create your character, attend Hogwarts, learn spells, make new friends and embark on a magical mission to stop a Goblin rebellion.
Remarkably, Hogwarts Legacy runs pretty well on the relatively low-powered Switch, It's no match for the PS5 or PC version of the open-world game, but it's certainly playable, and one of the most impressive Switch ports I've ever seen.
Hogwarts Legacy: was $59 now $29 @ Best Buy
One of our favorite Switch controllers, the 8Bitdo Ultimate has been discounted for Cyber Monday. This useful Bluetooth controller is a great alternative to the standard Joy-Cons and offers strong competition to the popular Switch Pro controller. It even comes with a charging dock to keep your pad juiced up.
8Bitdo Ultimate is currently on sale for $47 at Amazon, which is a discount of more than 30%, and the lowest price to date (according to CamelCamelCamel). It's also compatible with PC, and even the Steam Deck, so it's a great buy for gamers who like to play on multiple platforms.
8Bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller: was $69 now $47 @ Amazon
Lego Marvel Super Heroes is the best Lego game in this writer's opinion, and it's currently on sale for just $20 at Best Buy. Packing an original comic book story, and one of the biggest casts of Marvel characters in any game, it's a celebration of the beloved superheroes that have made the Big M so iconic.
From Guardians of the Galaxy to Fantastic Four, Avengers to X-Men, Spider-Man to Deadpool, just about every Marvel hero you could name is playable (even Squirrel Girl), and with an open-world New York to explore, Lego Marvel Super Heroes will keep you busy for a long time as there's a ludicrous amount to collect.
Lego Marvel Super Heroes: was $24 now $20 @ Best Buy
Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vo.1 dropped below $20 over Black Friday, and this excellent discount is sticking around as we enter Cyber Monday. Don't miss your chance to grab Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vo.1 for $18 at Amazon.
This collection packages together the first three Metal Gear Solid games, alongside some supplementary materials (and copies of the original two Metal Gear games). It's the perfect celebration of this legendary stealth-action franchise and also makes for an excellent entry point for MGS newcomers.
Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vo.1: was $39 now $18 @ Amazon
This Cyber Monday deal doesn't take the Mickey
Epic Mickey Rebrushed brings the Nintendo Wii classic to new audiences with improved controls, additional collectibles and some new costumes. And because of its Wii origins, it feels particularly at home on the Switch. Over at Best Buy, Epic Mickey Rebrushed is on sale for $39, which is a $20 discount on its MSRP.
Epic Mickey sees the world-famous cartoon mouse fall into a surprisingly dark realm known as the Wasteland. This gothic place is full of forgotten Disney characters, and armed with a magical paintbrush, it's up to Mickey to save the day. Packed with Disney references, this platformer is a love letter to the media titan.
- Epic Mickey: was $59 now $39 @ Best Buy
Quick! Nintendo Switch OLED bundle is restocked
The Nintendo Switch OLED + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle sold out very fast over Black Friday, but it's been restocked for Cyber Monday, and it's again been discounted by Walmart. While stocks last, the Nintendo Switch OLED Mario Kart Bundle is on sale for $299, that's a $50 saving on its list price of $349.
This bundle is exactly what it sounds like. It packages together a Nintendo Switch OLED console with a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and you also get 12 Months of Switch Online thrown into the mix. It's everything you need to join the Switch family this holiday season, but be quick, I can guarantee it'll sell out again soon.
- Switch OLED Mario Kart Bundle: was $349 now $299 @ Walmart
Mario + Rabbids 2 drops to lowest price
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope has been on sale a whole bunch since its launch in late 2022, but I've just spotted a Cyber Monday deal that drops this overlooked sequel to its lowest price. Right now, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is on sale for $12 at Best Buy. That's a remarkably good deal on a very compelling title.
Just be aware this is on the "Code in Box" version which means you're getting a digital download voucher instead of a physical Switch game card. But otherwise, it's the full game for just $12. However, if you'd prefer to have the game card, the physical version is on sale for $14 at Amazon, which is also a great saving.
- Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope (Code in Box): was $19 now $12 @ Best Buy
This Switch Lite deal (Hy)rules!
The Nintendo Switch Lite is a wonderful, portable console with a comfortable design and comes with a vast game library, as we noted in our review. For fans of the Zelda franchise, the Hyrule Edition of the Switch Lite is the perfect choice, and it's currently available for just $209 at Best Buy.
The Switch Lite (Hyrule Edition) sports the series' iconic insignia on the back and that's not all. You also get 12 months' Nintendo Switch Online & Expansion Pack membership so you can play through 10 classic Zelda games, wherever you are. It doesn't get better than this!
- Nintendo Switch Lite (Hyrule Edition): $209 at Best Buy
It Takes Two is definitely worth grabbing while it's on offer
It Takes Two is a cooperative action-adventure game that I've personally played twice, each time thoroughly enjoying the creative gameplay and the heartwarming story.
It follows the story of Cody and May, two dolls brought to life, as they navigate through various creative and challenging environments to mend their fractured relationship. The game requires two players to work together, solving puzzles and overcoming obstacles. Each level introduces unique mechanics that require coordination and teamwork. The narrative is also emotional and heartwarming, so you might need some tissues...
- It Takes Two: was $39 now $29 @ Target
Grab this Cyber Monday deal on our favorite gamecube controller
The NYXI Wizard is a Gamecube-inspired wireless controller for the Nintendo Switch, featuring customizable joysticks and modern gaming features, making it perfect for retro and modern gaming.
In our review, we said: "The NYXI Wizard delivers on something Nintendo Switch fans have wanted since the console’s launch – GameCube style Joy-Cons. While there have been both wired and wireless GameCube style controllers for the Switch since the release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, these are the first ones you can use in handheld mode.
The extra features NYXI has added like backlit buttons, mechanical triggers, programmable rear buttons and two sets of joystick rings are the cherry on top when it comes to this controller."
- NYXI Wizard Gamecube Switch Controller: was $69 now $48 @ Amazon

Don’t miss out on this Cuphead deal!
Cuphead on Nintendo Switch delivers the iconic, 1930s cartoon-inspired platformer with its signature hand-drawn visuals and jazzy soundtrack. The game follows Cuphead and Mugman as they battle inventive, challenging bosses and navigate run-and-gun levels to repay their debt to the Devil.
Known for its difficulty, Cuphead combines precise controls with relentless action, rewarding persistence and skill. We even said Cuphead is better on Switch because it “moves just as smoothly and lag free as the original version.”
- Cuphead: was $39 now $23 @ Amazon
Don't let this MARVELous deal fly away!
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes has plenty of the universe’s action-packed storytelling. You can play as beloved characters like Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Captain America, teaming up to stop villains like Loki and Doctor Doom from unleashing chaos.
The game features an expansive open-world New York, packed with missions, puzzles, and hidden collectibles. Its lighthearted humor and accessible gameplay appeal to fans of all ages, while co-op mode makes it a great choice for playing with friends or family.

- LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: was $24 now $20 @ Best Buy
Sonic Frontiers back in stock
Sonic Frontiers was on sale, but it went out of stock, leaving fans of the Blue Blur saddened. Thankfully, Amazon has the heavily discounted video game back in stock for $24. This is a $39 video game for the Nintendo Switch, which is a great deal.
And just as important as the low price, this is a fantastic entry into Sonic the Hedgehog's long-running franchise. If you look back fondly on Sonic games or want to try your first one, grab this deal and thank me later.
- Sonic Frontiers: was $39 now $24 @ Amazon
All it takes is a little push... and a killer discount
Three games for the price of (less than) one? Where do I sign up? At Best Buy, of course, where Batman: Arkham Trilogy is currently available for just $18. This collection brings together Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City and Batman: Arkham Knight alongside all the DLC released for all three games. That's a whole load of Bat-action in a single package.
We'd warn you, though, that Arkham Knight has some performance issues on Nintendo Switch, but the other two games run well.
- Batman: Arkham Trilogy: was $39 now $18
Nothing is true, everything is permitted, especially in this sweet deal
Our reviews writer, Nikita Achanta, has played every single Assassin's Creed game, and thinks that Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin's Creed: Rogue are two of the finest entries in the series. With this deal, you get both games for just $25 at Amazon.
Sail the seas as the iconic pirate/assassin Edward Kenway in Black Flag as you take down templars, and jump into the shoes of assassin-turned-templar Shay Cormac to hunt down his former brotherhood. Both games remain as iconic as the day they first came out, and are great starting points for those just dipping their toe into the (Assassin's Creed) water.
- Assassin's Creed The Rebel Collection: was $39 now $25
More space for little money
Don't you hate it when you have to delete an old beloved game to make space for a new one? Us too. The Nintendo Switch consoles are excellent, but they come with limited storage space. If you get the OG Switch or the Switch Lite, you'll have just 32GB at your disposal, while Switch OLED users get 64GB. This is why you need the SanDisk 1TB microSDX memory card which is currently just $81 at Best Buy.
We can't overstate just how epic this deal is. Now you can store all your games in one place without having to worry about deleting them every time you buy a new one.
- SanDisk 1TB microSDX: was $169 now $81
Tears of the Kingdom? More like Tears of Joy, thanks to this discount
This is perhaps one of the best Nintendo Switch deals we've come across. The very awesome The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has dropped to just $30 at Walmart. It was nominated for Game of the Year in 2023 and here at Tom's Guide, we awarded it 4.5 stars as it refines and remixes elements of Breath of the Wild in delightfully surprising ways.
With a huge open world, inventive puzzles, rewarding exploration, amazing abilities and cinematic moments, Tears of the Kingdom lives up to the franchise's pedigree, and then some. The game is down to the low, low price of $30 and it's a deal too good to pass up.
- The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: was $69 now $30
Our favorite Switch game of the year is 38% off
If you grew up playing Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy, don't sleep on Sea of Stars. It's a whimsical and riveting homage to '90s RPGs, brimming with detailed pixel art that's nothing short of stunning and a note-perfect soundtrack. And its turn-based combat is easy to pick up for long-time fans of the genre and newcomers alike. Though it just came out earlier this year, you can already snag it for under $25 right now at Amazon.
- Sea of Stars: was $39 now $24 at Amazon
The official Switch dock is great at home but it can be a bit bulky when you’re traveling, especially with its large power adapter. That’s why I always leave mine at home and take this tiny Nintendo Switch dock with me instead. Right now, you can grab the Genki Covert Dock Mini for $32 at Amazon. Not only are you saving 20% but this is its lowest price ever.
The Genki Covert Dock Mini is one of my go-to travel gadgets and for good reason. Sure, I use it to play my Switch on the TV in hotel rooms but it also works with your laptop too. When you’re not using it, it doubles as a fast charger for your smartphone or tablet.
Genki Covert Dock Mini: was $40 now $32 @ Amazon
I haven't played a Sonic game in years, so when Sonic x Shadow Generations came out I didn't have high hopes beyond it being a fun nostalgia trip before seeing the red-eyed hedgehog cause chaos in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 later this month. But I was surprised to find that this game, a two-in-one package with both a remaster of 2011's Sonic Generations and a brand new Shadow Generations starring the anti-hero, was an absolute blast to play. Shadow's powers and the 3D levels make you fall in love with his story all over again, and at $29 for Cyber Monday, this is an easy deal to recommend.
- Sonic X Shadow Generations: was $49 now $29 at Amazon
Cyber Monday has all but run its course, but there's still time to grab the latest Zelda game in the series for a small but significant discount. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is 13% off at Amazon. It sees the titular Princess take the helm for once on her first solo adventure that sees her wielding the power of "Echoes" of items and monsters from throughout the realm to save Hyrule from a series of mysterious rifts. In our Echoes of Wisdom review, my colleague Martin described it as "a surprisingly substantial top-down Zelda with the slap-things together puzzle-solving spirit of Tears of the Kingdom."
- The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom: was $59 now $51 @ Amazon
Wild Bastards is a delightful game about gunslinging, which is a weird thing to write. You play one of 13 outlaws each with their own unique weapons, personalities and abilities. There is a bit of an RPG element where you build up the relationships of your gang between shootouts. If this matters to you Jerry Holkins, of Penny Arcade, wrote the story and some of the dialogue. I find that to be additive.
- Wild Bastards: was $39 now $29 @ Amazon
Black Friday and Cyber Monday have been and gone, but you haven't missed your chance to score Nintendo's 2024 Switch bundle. The Nintendo Switch Mario Kart Bundle is in stock at Best Buy for $299. We did see this package drop an extra $50 over the weekend, but for just under $300 it's still a great deal. In this bundle you get a Nintendo Switch console (with Neon Red/Neon Blue Joy-Cons), a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a 12 Months membership to Nintendo Online. That's everything you need to enter the Switch family this holiday season.
- Nintendo Switch Mario Kart Bundle: $299 @ Best Buy
Cuphead on Switch is still on sale
One of my most memorable moments on the Nintendo Switch was finally completing a particularly difficult boss battle on Cuphead, and now you can score this old-school platformer at a discount. Cuphead is on sale for $30. at Amazon. Don't let the cartoony graphics fool you, Cuphead is a very tricky experience that pits you against several devilishly difficult bosses. This Switch version also comes with the DLC expansion, the Delicious Last Course, which adds a whole new island and a new playable character, Ms. Chalice.
- Cuphead: was $39 now $30 @ Amazon
