Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals in Australia for 2023: all the best sales already live

Super Mario Odyssey | AU$79.95 AU$59 at Amazon 

Here's AU$20.95 off one of the Nintendo Switch's brightest diamonds. Yeah, it's not a steep discount, but it's give or take about as low as Nintendo tends to go on its big tentpole first-party games. If you've been yearning for a return to Mario 64 style 3D platforming, this is what you should play.

Mario Party Superstars | AU$79.95 AU$59 at Amazon
A nice 26% off this brilliant collection of competitive Mario minigames, which will likely prove very popular with visiting relatives over the Christmas break. There are 100 minigames to play here, and while not all of them are incredible, a lot of them actually are!

Animal Crossing New Horizons | AU$79.95 AU$59 at Amazon
This was down to AU$54.45 earlier in the week, so this isn't as cheap as Animal Crossing comes. But if you missed out, this is still a decent price. and are attracted to its carefree cozy ways, this is an ok price for which to gently snap it up.

Sonic Frontiers | AU$89.95 AU$49 at JB Hi-Fi
A massive AU$40 off a blockbuster game is the kind of shenanigans we love to see during Black Friday. Sonic Frontiers may not have scored particularly well in our review, but if you're into Sonic you're probably going to get it anyway, so now's the time.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 Turbocharged | AU$79.95 AU$39 at Amazon
Whether you're a dyed in the wool Hot Wheels fanatic or just love high speed arcade racers, 51% off this recently released sequel is very hard to pass up. If realism stifles you and all you want from racers is big loops, big jumps, and absolutely mind-boggling track scenery, the Hot Wheels games are a must. Milestone is developer, so it has true racing cred.

Pokemon Sword | AU$79.95 AU$59 at Amazon
This is one of the better Pokemon games you'll find on the Nintendo Switch, and that's saying a lot, considering how many there are. The Shield version of this outing isn't on sale, weirdly, but this one is, and for AU$20 below the usual price it's a good price for a big adventure.

Nintendo Switch Sports | AU$69.95 AU$53.10 at Amazon
Here's a nice AU$10.95 discount on Nintendo's popular sports game, which comes bundled with a strap. While AU$59 is a good price, we may see it go lower come November 24, not to mention that there's a new bundle dropping on Black Friday pairing the game with a vanilla NIntendo Switch (see below). Also available at JB Hi-Fi for this price.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 | AU$79.95 RRP AU$49 at Amazon

If you're after a Switch JRPG that'll last you dozens of hours, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is among your best options. This jawdropping outing is exclusive to the Nintendo Switch, so it's among the best reasons to own the console. This discount is pretty decent, as far as first-party Switch deals go.

Nintendo Switch OLED Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle | AU$449
This is by far the star bundle of the season: a Nintendo Switch OLED model, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and three months of Nintendo Online for AU$449 - almost AU$100 below the RRP of an OLED by itself. This has been on pre-order for most of the week, so we knew it was coming... we just didn't know it'd drop to this price.

If you can get in quickly, the Kogan eBay store has a lightning deal for even cheaper at $436.78 including delivery. Make sure you apply the TSS100JTJYHXML7M code.

Nintendo Switch Pro-Controller at Amazon | AU$99.95 AU$90
A passable discount on the Switch's Pro-Controller; it's been this cheaper before, to the tune of AU$79, but this is still a nice discount. You're probably going to want this if you're a heavy docked user - especially if you love platformers (it's got a superior D-pad) and first-person shooters (it's got better analog sticks).
