I was fully expecting these Nintendo Switch bundles to be out of stock - but they're still here for Cyber Monday

Two years ago I watched as the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Nintendo Switch bundle was stripped from the shelves in the week before Black Friday even started. This year, these deals are still available for Cyber Monday. 

That's right, every Nintendo Switch console is currently bundled in with free games and more this weekend - and it's all sticking to the shelves as well. That's not to say there isn't urgency here. We've already seen the aforementioned Mario Kart package run off the shelves at Amazon and the same retailer has also run out of an Animal Crossing: New Horizons Switch Lite bundle as well. That means these offers are moving quick, though I'm surprised it's taken this long for those first signs of trouble to appear. 

You'll find a Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Switch OLED bundle still live at Walmart for $349 and a standard edition console complete with Mario Kart 8 for $299 as well. If you're after the Switch Lite, you can grab that free Animal Crossing game over at Walmart for $199

I would heartily recommend these bundles to anyone after some Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals. They not only represent the best value I've seen all year, but that OLED package is the first of its kind I've seen and the Switch Lite rarely sees this kind of value.

Should you buy these Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals?

If you're in the market for a new console this holiday season, the Nintendo Switch is looking like particularly strong value right now. Not only is this the first time we're seeing all three devices included in retailer bundle offers, but there's a range of prices to choose from here. The Nintendo Switch has one of the healthiest libraries in gaming right now and, Ninty being Ninty, those first party titles are all exclusives. That means the Switch is the only way to play Mario, Splatoon, and - of course - Zelda titles right now. Considering Tears of the Kingdom is one of the biggest games of the year, that's a significant draw. 

These are also the best value bundle deals I've seen on the Nintendo Switch console. I've been tracking these deals for years now, and I've never seen the Nintendo Switch OLED packaging a free game and subscription into its MSRP before. Not only that, but it's been an eternal struggle to find stock of the Nintendo Switch Lite on a good day, let alone in this weekend's Cyber Monday offers. 

Of course, we're also rounding up all the biggest Cyber Monday gaming deals on the shelves right now as well as the latest Cyber Monday PS5 deals and Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals for more.
