The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller has finally received an official, substantial discount for Black Friday. It only took seven-plus years for it to happen, but if you’ve exercised extreme patience, you have finally been rewarded. The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller is on sale for $20 off at Best Buy, dropping the price from $70 down to $50. Needless to say, this is the best discount ever on the official Switch controller, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see this offer sell out before Black Friday sales end.
You can also save $20 on a pair of Neon Red and Blue Joy-Con Controllers. And if you’re in the market for a Nintendo Switch console this holiday, Target and Best Buy have ridiculously good deals on the Nintendo Switch holiday bundles. You can get the Nintendo Switch OLED Mario Kart bundle for only $275 or the regular Nintendo Switch Mario Kart bundle for only $225.
Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
$50 (was $70)
The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller remains our top pick on our best Switch controllers list all these years later. It’s significantly better for docked play than slotting two controllers in the Joy-Con Grip. It also has chunkier face buttons, full-size analog sticks, and larger triggers. It also has a real D-pad, which is a big plus when compared to Joy-Con Controllers.
The Switch Pro Controller is equipped with Nintendo’s HD rumble, gyro sensors for motion controls, and has an NFC reader to tap Nintendo’s Amiibo figures. Since it’s a Bluetooth controller, the Pro Controller also works great on PC, Mac, mobile, Steam Deck, and several other devices. It charges via USB-C and runs for up to 40 hours on a full battery.
The Pro Controller is a great all-around controller with superb ergonomics. It rivals the Xbox Wireless Controller for the title of comfiest controller with offset sticks.
The Switch Pro Controller Black Friday deal is currently available at Best Buy and Target. Walmart will also have this deal starting November 25.
Neon Red and Blue Switch Joy-Con Controllers
$60 (was $80)
If you need a new pair of Joy-Con Controllers for handheld mode or multiplayer, you’re in luck: Joy-Con Controllers are also on sale for the lowest price ever. You can grab a pair of Neon Red and Blue Joy-Con Controllers for $60 (was $80) at Best Buy or Target. Walmart will have this promotion on November 25.
More Nintendo Switch Black Friday Deals
As mentioned, the Switch and Switch OLED holiday bundles are up for grabs for $75 off. Both consoles come bundled with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a 12-Month Nintendo Switch Online membership. You’re getting $80 worth of “freebies” with each, which is why the holiday bundles typically don’t receive outright discounts during Black Friday. These are the best Nintendo Switch deals ever offered by a major retailer.
