Should you shop these Nintendo Switch game Black Friday deals or wait until Cyber Monday?
Nintendo Switch owners should jump at the chance to buy games for cheap, and that includes the offers that you see during Black Friday. Cyber Monday deals are usually just rehashed versions of Black Friday deals, so it’s rare that prices will go even lower on Cyber Monday compared with Black Friday. There’s also the chance that stocks for the Nintendo Switch games that you want are depleted after Black Friday — another reason not to wait until Cyber Monday to purchase them.
You should take advantage of Nintendo Switch game Black Friday deals that you come across, especially for titles that you’ve been thinking about buying for a while. If prices go lower on Cyber Monday, you can ask for a refund to your Black Friday purchase, then use the money to take advantage of the Cyber Monday deal. Either way, you’ll be getting your new Nintendo Switch game before the holidays.
