Nintendo Switch, the handheld game console, has been a hot-ticket wishlist item for years. While it may have been challenging in the past to get your hands on it, deals are finally a-flowing for the popular controller.
One thing to note as you’re trying to decide which model is the best fit: The Switch Lite can only be used as a handheld console; the Switch can be connected to a TV, so you can use it on-the-go or with a big screen; and the OLED has the same features as the Switch, just with higher-definition visual quality.
We found two Nintendo Switch bundles on-sale for Black Friday—one with the standard Switch, and the other with the OLED screen—but both come with a free download of Mario Kart 8.
The most popular console with plenty of fun games and few downsides, and it’s a favorite among Wirecutter staffers.
Unquestionably the nicest Switch console you can buy, with a beautiful screen, better sound, and a useful built-in stand.
No matter which Switch you choose, now is an excellent time to get one, for yourself or a great kid in your life, and be guaranteed an activity to keep everyone busy this holiday season.
If you’re looking for a gift for someone who already owns a Switch, you can pick up any number of games that are on sale, including The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and Fae Farm.
Or, consider this accessory for power players to reduce hand fatigue.
