Nintendo is offering the Switch Pro Controller for a discounted price of only $50 during its highly anticipated Black Friday sale.
The Japanese company's Black Friday sale will run through Nov. 30, 2024, and gives the Switch Pro Controller a $20 discount. This is an all-time low price for this particular product and it is available at Best Buy, GameStop, and Target.
Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Sale
The Nintendo Switch Pro Controller discount is one of the more noteworthy sales this Black Friday this year. The main reason for this is that the product itself rarely goes on sale, even during previous Black Friday celebrations.
This particular controller is popular even with many other third-party gamepads being available in the market. This is because it is still considered the best all-around controller for Nintenod's handheld console.
The Switch Pro Controller is much more comfortable to use for most people compared to a pair of Joy-Cons for long gaming sessions. It also features larger sticks that are a lot more accurate in-game, according to The Verge.

This item also has a proper D-pat instead of simply featuring four individual directional buttons. Other controllers for the handheld console, such as Gulikit's King Kong series, have some of the features of the Switch Pro Controller.
But none of these alternatives actually provide the same foolproof and easy plug-and-play experience that Nintendo's official controller gives. The Switch Pro Controller is safe and easy enough to use that even a child can learn how it works.
Nintendo's Black Friday Deals
Other sales for Nintendo's Black Friday deals include a $20 discount for a pair of Neon Red and Blue Joy-Con Controllers. There are some very nice holiday bundles for the handheld console itself available on Best Buy and Target, Game Spot said.
Players can also get the Nintendo Switch OLED Mario Kart bundle for a relatively cheap price of $275. The company is also selling the regular Nintendo Switch Mario Kart bundle for only $225.
Both of these packages include a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as well as a 12-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. This makes it one of the best Black Friday deals that Nintendo has put out so far.
Many people believe that these two packages will be extremely popular with fans despite the soon-to-release Nintendo Switch 2. This is because the successor handheld console is confirmed to be able to play games from its predecessor, according to IGN.
