This weekend’s sales event is the perfect opportunity to pick up one of the year’s best games – and join the Nintendo Switch ecosystem in the process.

Next year will mark eight years since the Nintendo Switch first was unleashed upon players. Despite this, Nintendo’s hybrid console is still going strong, receiving five-star game after five-star game in the form of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario RPG, Pikmin 4, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder – and that’s just in 2023 alone. If you’re someone who’s yet to pick up a Nintendo Switch, one online retailer has made it so you can get the latter title totally free as part of a Black Friday 2023 bundle.

The Black Friday 2023 Nintendo Switch bundle in question includes the traditional Neon Red and Blue colour Nintendo Switch console, alongside a copy of Super Mario Bros. Wonder. The console alone typically retails for £259.99 on its own and the game goes for £49.99. As part of this bundle from Very, however, you can pick up both for just £259.99 – meaning you essentially get the game for free!

True wonder

We reviewed Super Mario Bros. Wonder upon release, awarding it full marks and calling it “the best 2D Mario ever”. The fact it's part of a Black Friday 2023 Nintendo Switch bundle so soon after it just launched is surprising but makes picking up this deal all the more tempting. It means you can join an incredibly popular console ecosystem and instantly enjoy one of its best games. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is co-op compatible too, meaning any friends or family can also get in on the fun and colourful platforming action.

There are several Black Friday 2023 Nintendo deals worth looking at both on and in advance of this weekend. That said, you might struggle to find a better price than £259.99 for a Nintendo Switch bundle that includes one of the platform’s newest and best games.

And, if you’re looking for more games to add to your collection, be sure to check out the Nintendo eShop’s list of digital Black Friday offers. You can find a wide range of titles coming in at a major discount, meaning you can easily build yourself a full library of games using the £40 you saved picking up the above bundle (or use it to buy Christmas gifts for others, still a score!).
