This Nintendo Switch bundle gets you a free SD card and controller
TL;DR: This sweet Nintendo Switch bundle gets you the console, a 128GB memory card, and a wireless controller for $299.99 — the usual price of just the console by itself and a savings of $69.95.
Anyone who was looking for a major discount on the Nintendo Switch this year may have been sorely disappointed.
For whatever reason, while Xbox and PS4s are discounted like nobody’s business, the Nintendo Switch on its own didn’t see a direct discount for Black Friday or Cyber Monday. The closest thing retailers are offering is the same Mario Kart bundle from 2018 or a $25 gift card that can’t used toward the actual Switch purchase. (That deal is done on Amazon, anyway.)

For people who would rather save on accessories like controllers, Walmart has a less-talked-about bundle still available: You can get a Switch console, a wireless controller, and a 128 GB SanDisk memory card for $299.99, which is the same price as the Switch purchased by itself. And yes, it’s the model with extended battery life.
Don’t get too caught up on the fact that the free controller isn’t the official Pro Controller. It’s a bummer that some reviewers say that it doesn’t stay paired as smoothly as a Pro Controller does, but it’s free — and anyone who has ever shopped for Switch stuff knows damn well that Pro Controllers almost never drop below $60.
Then, head on over to Amazon to stock up on games: Save $20 and get Super Mario Party and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for $39.99 each or save $17 and get Pókemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! for $42.99.
Buying all of these items would run you nearly $370, but this Cyber Monday special gets you all three for $299.99 — the regular price of the Switch by itself.
