The Nintendo Switch has been a game-changer ever since it launched back in 2017. The hybrid handheld console is a delight for any long-term Nintendo fans, as well as the horde of new ones it's created. Deals on it don't happen often though, which is why you should act fast if you want to get a Nintendo Switch with Mario Kart 8 while it's $75 off at Target. This is one of the best Black Friday deals on a console we've seen this year.
You can grab the standard Switch for $225 or the OLED Switch for $275 with this offer. Both versions offer the same ability to play either in handheld mode or on a TV using the dock, and both come with two Joy-Cons to play with as well as the incredible Mario Kart 8, a fantastic racing game. However, the OLED is the nicer of the two thanks to its beautiful OLED screen, which offers a far brighter and sharper image when in handheld mode. It's slightly larger too.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
We'd act fast on this deal either way, because stock is likely to dwindle fairly quickly given how great the console is. If you're happy to go out for a little walk or drive, you can also get these same savings from Best Buy, but only in-store. This is the best Black Friday Nintendo Switch deal we've seen yet and it definitely makes for a great Christmas gift for kids or anyone else.

Is the Nintendo Switch still worth buying?
While the rumored Nintendo Switch 2 is supposedly on its way, we've not seen any word on it from Nintendo as of yet. Because of that, while buying a Switch at full price might not feel great, getting one on sale is still a great decision. There are plenty of incredible games to play, and it's a wonderful console in every respect for families, friends and basically everyone else too.
Why this deal matters
The Nintendo Switch is good enough that it doesn't need to be on sale to be worth buying. Because of this, deals on it simply don't come around very often, which makes even a minor discount worth paying attention to. Getting $75 off isn't a minor discount though, so you'll want to make the most of this rare offer that includes one of the best Nintendo Switch games.
