Nintendo Switch Black Friday 2017 update following big games reveal news
THERE’S BEEN more Nintendo Switch Black Friday 2017 news this week, following a big alleged games leak.
Black Friday 2017 is shaping up to be an intriguing one for Nintendo Switch fans.
Not only are we seeing retailers bringing in stock but some are also providing new deals for those interested in nabbing games for it.
It appears that UK retailer GAME will be running some discounts on select Switch titles, with more expected to be announced closer to Black Friday.
Two bundles worth looking at are listed below, although it should be noted that these are pre-Black Friday deals.
Nintendo Switch Mario Odyssey Limited Edition Console with Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle - £359.99 - SAVE £20
Nintendo Switch with LEGO Worlds + Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition - £299.99 - SAVE £339.99
GAME CEO Martyn Gibbs has also confirmed that he believes the Nintendo Switch will be in stock for Christmas.
Gibbs told MCV that new stock has been arriving on a week-by-week basis and that based on current demand, there shouldn't be any problem getting one for Christmas.
"We've got enough Switch coming in on a week-by-week basis, Nintendo needs to take some real credit operationally for how they've managed to work this through," he said.
"We've now got a constant supply of stock coming into the business on a weekly basis.
"Don't get me wrong I don't have [Distribution Centre] stuffed full of 100,000 units, but we do have a good, regular supply from Nintendo."
As for Christmas stock, he added: "The only reason that we wouldn't see [stock] is if demand picks up any further but I wouldn't see that as a bad thing."
Nintendo themselves have told media outlets that they will not be discounting the Nintendo Switch during the Black Friday sales.
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime says that the company will instead be focusing on making supply at retail at top priority.
Nintendo Switch owners, meanwhile, are in store for a treat in 2018, as three huge games are rumoured for the system.
According to one Reddit user, Mother 3, Soulcalibur 6 and Hearthstone are all coming to Nintendo Switch in 2018.
While it's worth taking with a pinch of salt, the same Reddit user successfully predicted that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be joining Injustice 2.
Mother 3 is said to be localised and playable, but is being held back for the time being.
Soulcalibur 6, meanwhile, is said to be coming to PS4, PC and Nintendo Switch, and could be announced during the PSX event later this year.
The Switch version, on the other hand, is tipped to be revealed during a Nintendo Direct in January.
Fans can expect to see more from Metroid Prime 4 during the unannounced Direct conference.
