Black Friday 2019: Deals On Nintendo Switch Online Service

The new Nintendo Switch Online service has become a growing part of the Nintendo Switch package in the last year. For $20 a year, you get access to the online components of multiplayer games, as well as treasure trove of classic NES and SNES games you can play for as long as you’re a member. If you’re planning on buying a new Switch or Switch Lite you should definitely consider picking it up, since some of the console’s best games, like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Splatoon 2, all require it. At $20 the service is pretty cheap compared to its competitors Xbox Live Gold and PlayStation Plus, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a couple of discounts on Nintendo Switch Online this holiday season.

Best Switch Online deals for Black Friday 2019

Membership only deals

The best (and only) Nintendo Switch Online subscription deal announced so far is at Target. You will be able to buy a 12-month subscription for $15, five bucks off the list price. That’s a reasonably good deal, and it’d be surprising to see other retailers offer much better considering the relatively low price of the membership to begin with.

If you’re more interested in a Switch Online family plan, which normally go for $35 and support up to eight users, it’s likely we’ll see that discounted as well. Target has a track record of offering Switch Online family memberships for $28 during major sales, so it’s possible that deal will make an appearance at Target or elsewhere during Black Friday weekend.


Membership bundled with games

Walmart will have the Overwatch: Legendary Edition on sale for $25, which comes with a three-month subscription of Switch Online. One other game to look out for that could be on sale is the retail edition of Tetris 99 (which comes with the paid DLC). The Switch Online exclusive comes with a 12-month subscription of Switch Online for $30. It’s possible that bundle will get discounted on Black Friday too.


Console bundles with Switch Online membership

Google Shopping will have a console bundle that comes with a Nintendo Switch Online 12-month family membership. Google hasn’t announced when the deal will be available, but for $305 you’ll get the Switch console with upgraded battery life, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, and the 12-month family membership ($374 overall value).


Where to find Switch Online deals during Black Friday

We’ll be updating this article as more Nintendo Switch Online Black Friday deals are announced, but keep an eye on Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, Amazon, and the Eshop, the Switch’s digital storefront.

In addition to gaining access to online multiplayer, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers can play dozens of classic NES games and 20 SNES games, including Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Super Metroid. Switch Online members also get cloud saves for most games, which is an incredibly convenient feature.
