Yakuza 0 was enhanced with a Director’s Cut for the prequel entry in the long-running series that sets the stage for future titles.

Set in 1980s Japan, you play as Kazuma Kiryu in a sprawling crime drama that is gripping while coupled with the series’ odd humor. The director’s cut adds new cutscenes and the gameplay is a mixture of melee brawls and awesome mini-games.

Now you can get Yakuza 0 for half-off at Amazon.

Mario wasn’t the only gaming legend to get a racing game this year

Mario Kart World is excellent but if you’re looking to shake up your karting titles, you should check out Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, currently available for just $39 at Amazon. In our review, I said that this game “makes Mario Kart World look like child’s play.”

Compared to Mario, Sonic Racing: Crossworld is far more chaotic, which isn’t as easy to dive straight into. However, the driving is smooth and extremely fun once you get the hang of how levels work. Plus, it features a ton of customization for both your carts and gadgets that attach to your various racers. It might be the racing game of the year.

As of this writing it looks like the Pokemon Legends: Z-A Switch 2 bundle is sold out. You might get lucky with GameStop which is still showing the bundle potentially available for pickup but you need to check inventory.

However, the Nintendo Switch 2 bundle featuring Mario Kart World is widely available across retailers. Mario Kart isn’t Pokemon but is a great racing great than really shakes up the formula.

“Star Wars: Outlaws” is a game that I told myself I’d play once the price came down, so I’m stoked to see this title on sale for 50% as part of Amazon’s Black Friday sales event. It’s one of the steepest discounts I’ve seen on a relatively new title, and it’s a great candidate if you’re looking to test out Switch 2 hardware.

Save while you can on storage

Look, I get it: Shelling out for MicroSD cards is one of the least-exciting ways to spend money on Black Friday. Heck, I’m not thrilled about it, but I’m putting one of these things into my cart right now. If I don’t, I’ll end up annoyed at myself for not doing it when the price was at its lowest.

This card is capable of speeds of up to 800 MB/s, which makes it the perfect fit for gaming on the Switch. It’s wrapped up with a three-year, limited warranty.

CRKD might be known for its Nitro Deck and Nitro Deck+ joy-con alternatives for the original Switch but the company also makes a fantastic retro-style controller. The CRKD NEO S feels like an old-school gamepad but with a modern twist. Not only is it wider than a SNES controller but there are also two remappable buttons on the back.

Switch 2’s first new Zelda game is a winner!

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment screenshot

(Image credit: Nintendo)

While not on sale (considering it only just came out), Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a fantastic game, and one you should keep an eye on should it get a price cut. Our Senior Entertainment Editor, Rory, dubbed it “one of [his] biggest gaming surprises of 2025.”

He noted that the game runs extremely well on the Switch 2, and it features callbacks to previous entries in the hit franchise. The menu design is cribbed straight from TOTK, and when you pick up a new item, the iconic Zelda chime plays. It all helps to make you feel like you’re playing a brand new Zelda title, rather than a soulless spin-off!

Two other Zelda games are currently discounted if you fancy picking one up: Link’s Awakening (was $59, now $52), and Echoes of Wisdom (was $59, now $53).

2025-11-28T17:25:56.378Z
A purr-fect game for cat lovers

Stray video game

(Image credit: BlueTwelve Studio)

Stray is a fantastic game and it runs well on both the OG Switch and the Switch 2. We gave it 4-stars in our review, stating that it shouldn’t dismissed as “merely a cat stimulator, as this adventure game will appeal to more than just feline fanatics.” The game is set in a dystopian, cyberpunk-like world and it’s highly detailed.

You encounter robots who become your allies, and you can scratch on different surfaces (like a real cat) and even push things off heights (again, like a real cat). Having finished the game a few times, I have to say, it will make you cry. Right now, it’s 30% off at Amazon!

2025-11-28T17:16:02.831Z
What game would you like to see ported to the Switch 2?

Shadowheart from Baldur's Gate 3

(Image credit: Larian Studios)

We’ve seen some great games ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, including (but not limited to) Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Hogwarts Legacy, and more. But are there any games you wish got ported to the handheld wonder? Personally, I would love to see Baldur’s Gate 3 on the Switch 2. Because the Switch 2 has a Mouse Mode, it would make playing the turn-based RPG much easier, and I would love to travel with my party.

I believe the Switch 2 could run Baldur’s Gate 3 well too, considering that Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t awful or unplayable, running at a solid 40fps. The Switch 2 is also a beast for co-op, so playing Baldur’s Gate 3 online or in couch co-op mode shouldn’t be an issue. Who knows what the future holds!

We gave the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 a full 5-star rating in our review. That’s pretty rare. Our reviewer Nikita loves its comfortable design that’s easy to wear for hours; it’s excellent sound quality; its easy to use companion software; and its long battery life.

So yeah, even at full price we’d recommend this headset. This is Black Friday, though, and that means you don’t need to pay full price. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 is currently $45 off at Amazon — a huge saving of 30%.

This one’s for the basketball fans

NBA 2K26 - Nintendo Switch 2

(Image credit: Visual Concepts)

The latest entry in the annual NBA 2K series has entered the court, and it’s once again the most polished and authentic way to play basketball from the comfort of your couch. NBA 2K26 includes the series’ standard suite of online and offline modes, including MyTEAM and MyGM.

The Switch 2 version isn’t as graphically impressive as on other consoles, but it does offer portable play, which is a pretty big advantage. For basketball fans, this is the best deal to get this Black Friday.

2025-11-28T15:42:42.454Z
Should you buy a Switch 2 this Black Friday?

A Nintendo Switch 2 handheld console

(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)

The Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t discounted for Black Friday, and we weren’t expecting that it would be. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy it. We gave the Switch 2 4.5-stars in our review, and Rory, our Senior Entertainment Editor, dubbed it a “fantastic hybrid console.” He loved the console’s upgraded performance, stunning 7.9-inch display, the redesigned Joy-Cons, and the new ‘Mouse Mode.’

Although I personally don’t own a Switch 2 (yet), I’ve spent many hours testing accessories by playing on our review unit, and I have to say, it’s an amazing upgrade over the OG Switch. I especially adore the Joy-Cons which feel a little more ergonomic than the old ones!

Luckily, Amazon is stocking the Switch 2 right now, but we don’t know how long these stocks will last, so grab your Switch 2 NOW!

In a galaxy far, far away, this game would be pricier than it is right now

Star Wars Outlaws delivers a true Star Wars experience, featuring four total worlds teeming with expansive maps and various side quests for hours of unending fun. Space-based combat and general gunplay are solid with rare moments of stealth. It’s a quintessential outing in a galaxy far, far away. We awarded this game 4-stars in our review.

Star Wars Outlaws is currently 50% off at Amazon, bringing its price down to just $30 — a ridiculously good deal, in my opinion!

2025-11-28T15:24:26.302Z

Black Friday has brought with it discounts on not just Nintendo Switch consoles and games, but on Amiibo figurines too. The Yunobo Amiibo from The Legend of Zelda is currently 67% off at Amazon — so you’re spending just $9!

Is this figurine just a statement piece? Nope. It lets you receive random items in the Breath of the Wild and the Tears of the Kingdom games. All you need to do is tap the figurine against the NFC touchpoint and you’re good to go.

Turtle Beach Rematch Wireless Controller

(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)

The Turtle Beach Rematch Wireless is available for $49 at Amazon for Black Friday, making it more of a steal than it was at its retail price. Decked in Mario colors that glow in the dark, the Rematch Wireless is a fantastic gamepad for the Switch family.

Featuring analog thumbsticks and triggers that are highly responsive and motion controls, not only does the Rematch Wireless make games feel more immersive, but it’s extremely comfortable, too. There are also two rear buttons that can be remapped on the fly. This is the controller you get if you enjoy a bit of whimsy as well as power.

The best wired headset for Switch 2? I think so!

A blue and red Turtle Beach Airlite Fit wired gaming headset for the Nintendo Switch

(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)

When I reviewed the Turtle Beach Airlite Fit for the Nintendo Switch 2 and the Switch, I gave the headset 4.5-stars. Why, you ask? Firstly, even at its retail price, it’s very cheap, so it’s the perfect headset for those on a budget. Second, it sounds great. It creates immersive soundscapes, thanks to the 40mm drivers.

It comes with a flip-to-mute mic that makes you sound loud and clear, and I really like its colorful design, which complements the Switch’s playful nature. This is a budget headset that performs like a premium one! Right now, the Airlite Fit is available for just $22 at Amazon.

A WONDERful deal on one of the best Mario games

The best Nintendo Switch multiplayer games

Remember I said my partner wasn’t into gaming but she makes a couple exceptions every now and then? Well, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is one of the couch co-op games she loves, so it’s perfect to play with your non-gamer friends and family. Right now, Super Mario Bros. Wonder is down to $50 at Walmart. I’d wholeheartedly recommend this game even at its full price, so there’s no excuse to not score this deal!

We gave the game 4.5-stars in our review, praising its excellent, colorful visuals and characters, ‘Badge’ mechanic that adds a new level of strategy, and ‘Wonder Flowers’ which significantly alter levels, taking you through time and space.

While the latest Assassin’s Creed: Shadows is on pre-order for the Nintendo Switch 2, you can get your AC fix with this killer deal. Assassin’s Creed: The Rebel Collection is currently down to just $39 at Amazon, and it includes both Black Flag and Rogue!

As someone who has played every single entry in the franchise, I can vouch for the fact that Black Flag is a great game, especially for those who want to sail the seas while taking down Templars. Rogue flips things on its head by making you play as a Templar, and it’s quite an underrated gem.

A screenshot of Sonic x Shadow Generations

Sonic x Shadow Generations is one of the series’ best. Period. This nostalgia-filled serving is exactly what a remastered re-release should be. It includes a remaster of Sonic Generations alongside a brand new game featuring the Blue Blur’s red-eyed nemesis as the protagonist.

In my review, I gave the game 4-stars for its outstanding level design, ‘Doom Powers’ that make Shadow OP, excellent music, callbacks to previous games, and for faithfully remastering a classic. This action platformer is a trippy adventure through time and space, and it feels like a breath of fresh air.

Currently 50% off at Amazon, Sonic x Shadow Generations is an outstanding (and easily loveable) game.

2025-11-28T13:53:59.762Z
Joy-Cons? On sale? Groundbreaking (no, really!)

Switch Joy-Cons in various colors

(Image credit: Nintendo / Tom’s Guide)

Calling all OG Switch owners, the day has come when Joy-Cons are cheaper than their retail price! That’s right: the Neon Purple and Neon Orange Joy-Cons are available for $84 at Amazon, as are the original Neon Red and Neon Blue ones. I’ve been waiting for Joy-Cons to go on sale as I only own two (at the time of writing), and I want to be able to play my favorite co-op games with more people.

I’ve played FIFA — now known as EA Sports FC — for as long as I can remember, and this Black Friday deal on the latest iteration is too good to pass up. EA Sports FC 26 on the Nintendo Switch 2 is currently 57% off at Amazon. That’s a ridiculously good deal, considering this game came out only this year.

In our review, we said that EA Sports FC 26 “delivers one of the biggest gameplay upgrades in years,” and we praised the game for its fantastic gameplay presets, unrivalled authenticity, and fan-requested improvements which have been implemented well. For soccer fans and gamers, this game is a must-have.

Did you know that you can plug a webcam into the Nintendo Switch 2 when you’re playing certain games, like Mario Kart World? You can use the official Nintendo Switch 2 Camera for it… or you can treat yourself to the (very adorable) HORI Piranha Plant Cam, currently down to $36 at Amazon!

I’ll be honest, the Piranha Plant Cam doesn’t have the best or clearest resolution as it’s limited to just 480P, but it’s super cute and makes for a great statement piece. In my review, I couldn’t stop gushing about its lovely design, easy plug-and-play setup, and the fact that it can be used as a regular webcam too. In fact, my Piranha Plant Cam sits atop my monitor at work, keeping a watchful eye.

Looking for a compact yet sturdy storage solution for your collection of Nintendo Switch games? Amazon Basics’ storage case stores up to 24 games, and it’s down to just $7 at Amazon for Black Friday!

Overcooked drops in price, and it’s one of the most chaotic (and best) co-op games

Overcooked screenshot

(Image credit: Team17)

My partner isn’t big into gaming, but even she can’t resist a bit of couch co-op gaming — especially Overcooked. Overcooked! All You Can Eat is a fantastic couch co-op game for both the Switch and the Switch 2. The goal is simple: you must work together (with up to three other players) to cook and deliver orders on time. Chop, dice, slice and bake, and you’re golden.

But it turns extremely chaotic when you don’t work in tandem, or when the kitchen catches on fire. My partner and I rarely argue, but when we’re playing Overcooked, it’s like all hell breaks loose. It’s awesome. You can experience it for yourself this Black Friday as Overcooked! All You Can Eat is 29% off at Amazon right now!

Is this Sonic karting game better than Mario Kart World?

(Image credit: Sega)

Hi there! I’m Nikita, a senior reviews writer, and I’m taking over from our How-To Editor to bring you the latest (and greatest) Black Friday Switch 2 deals. If you’re a fan of karting games, it’s worth checking out Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, currently available for just $39 at Amazon. In my review, I said that this game “makes Mario Kart World look like child’s play.”

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is an extremely fun, chaotic karting game which presents a bit of a learning curve, and it wins big when it comes to smooth drifting and air tricks that give you significant boosts. Voice acting is a nice touch, and extensive kart and ‘Gadget Plate’ customization means you can strategize in different ways and fine-tune your style. For me, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is the karting game of the year.

As budget controllers go, the Turtle Beach Rematch Wireless is a fantastic gamepad for the Nintendo Switch family. It has analog thumbsticks and triggers that are highly responsive, which creates a more immersive experience for your gaming. It even has motion controls.

Not only does the Rematch Wireless make games feel more immersive, but it’s extremely comfortable, too. I’ve used it for countless games of Mario Kart World and for just $46 at Amazon, the Turtle Beach Rematch Wireless is game changer (and looks great too).

The Lisen 2-pack screen protector for Switch 2 is down to just $12 at Amazon. It’s the kind of purchase you make once and forget about until it saves you from an expensive repair. At $6 per protector, it’s cheaper than the regret of a scratched screen.

The auto-alignment installation means no bubbles or dust, and the 9H+ tempered glass provides serious protection against drops and scratches.

The Samsung P9 Express 512GB microSD card is $74 at Amazon (25% off). The Switch 2’s 256GB of internal storage fills up fast — titles like Cyberpunk 2077 demand around 60GB. Doubling your storage capacity means you’re not constantly deleting games to make room.

The Samsung P9 Express handles loading speeds well, so you won’t notice performance drops. At $74, it’s solid value for essentially tripling your Switch 2’s total capacity.

Planning to dive into multiplayer sessions of Mario Kart or Split Fiction on your Switch 2? The PDP Afterglow Wave controller just dropped to $49, making it a smart alternative to Nintendo’s pricier Pro Controller.

This officially licensed gamepad replicates the Pro Controller’s layout and feel while undercutting it on price. You get all the essential buttons, solid build quality, and comfortable ergonomics for extended play sessions. Plus customizable RGB lighting that cycles through colors and adds some visual flair to your setup.

At $10 off, it’s an easy pickup if you need a second controller for couch co-op or just want a backup.

This Black Friday, the Switch 2 bundle is the smarter buy

Nintendo rarely discounts its latest hardware, that’s just how they operate. But bundles? That’s where the savings hide.

The Mario Kart World Bundle pairs the Switch 2 console with the latest entry in Nintendo’s legendary kart racing series for $499. Buy them separately and you’d pay $529, so you’re pocketing $30 in savings while getting both essentials in one shot.

Mario Kart World is one of the Switch 2’s flagship launch titles, making this bundle a smart move whether you’re buying for yourself or gifting. Stock moves fast on Nintendo bundles, so don’t hesitate if this is on your list.

Looking to grab a Nintendo Switch 2 or the original Switch? Stock availability fluctuates during Black Friday, but several major retailers like Amazon Best Buy and GameStop carrying inventory.

If you’re finding the base model selling out fast, consider a bundle instead! You’ll save money anyway. Bundles like the Mario Kart World package save you $30 compared to buying separately, and they tend to stay in stock longer than standalone consoles.

Games are also getting significant markdowns, with titles like Star Wars Outlaws ($30, was $59) and Sonic X Shadow Generations ($24, was $49) hitting record lows.
