Here's my best pick of the Nintendo switch accessories for Black Friday 2023 under $25. You know, it's been a great year for the system thanks to awesome new games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Pikmin 4, and so many more. That means it's likely that there's plenty of new Switch owners out there right now looking for some great quality accessories that won't rupture a hole in your bank balance.
What you'll find below are some of the best Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals around. I wanted to focus in on the essentials that ever Switch owner (new and old) should have on their person at all times: a MicroSD card to increase your storage, a carry case for protection, spare controllers for multiplayer, and a headset to help you play in peace. You'll find all of that below, with all my picks coming in under the $25 mark.
Naturally, if you're looking to spend a little extra you can always check out some of the other excellent Black Friday gaming deals that we're tracking, including some of the best Nintendo Switch games which have been discounted. There's plenty of time for all of that, and your first priority should be grabbing one of these Black Friday Nintendo switch accessory deals before it's too late.

Not only is the Split Pad Pro cheap right now, but Amazon says orders will still arrive before Christmas.
There are plenty of Nintendo Switch deals on the shelves for Christmas this year, but one sits on a newly released accessory that's caught the attention of Switchers everywhere - including mine. What's more, the CRKD Nitro Deck is now back down to its lowest ever price - one I've only previously seen over Black Friday.
Anticipation continues to build as gamers are eagerly awaiting updates on the forthcoming Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. In the meantime, the base game is currently available at a discounted price in the UK. Select retailers are offering the game for a reduced rate of at least £29.99, a noteworthy markdown from the £49.99 RRP. Given the expansive nature of the game, this discount should be deemed substantial, particularly when contrasted with the potential £69.99 price tag that other publishers might command for a similar gaming experience in 2023.
It’s not time to barrel roll; instead, you should be celebrating by eating a Swiss roll as Nintendo Switch Online has added a bunch of adorable Holiday profile icons. You can use your silver coins on the service’s dedicated app to get them.
I love retro controllers, but even I'm eager to get my hands on 8bitdo's Retro Receiver for PS1 and PS2. As much as I'm into hardware preservation, I can't blame anyone for wanting to play retro PlayStation games with a modern gamepad. So, rather than trying to use a pad that has been the victim of FIFA rage throughout the years, you'll want to pick the receiver up while it's cheaper for Cyber Monday.
The Baseus 6-in-1 Docking Station is one of our favorite Steam Deck accessories, and if you're in the market for a docking station for your new handheld gaming PC, there aren't many better options out there.
This excellent Black Friday Final Fantasy 16 deal should not be ignored. One of the best games of 2023 is enjoying its first substantial price cut since its launch earlier this year, available at Amazon for just $35. That, my friends, is a 50% saving for an adventure which will bring you hours of enjoyment.
If you act fast, you can snag a Nintendo Switch OLED at Woot for $309.99. However, Amazon Prime members who check out through the Woot mobile app can save an additional $20, discounting the $349.99 console to just $289.99, $10 less than the standard (inferior) model of Nintendo’s handheld.
Call of Duty Black Friday deals are surprisingly rare, but when we find one, it's incredibly exciting. Sure, Modern Warfare 3 didn't get the best reviews this year, but that's not going to stop hoards of people buying it. If it's your guilty pleasure, let that guilt slip away and consider this amazing Black Friday deal. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is currently down to just £51.96 when using code BUYBETTER20 at eBay via The Game Collection Outlet. You need to be signed into an eBay account to redeem the offer.
Magic: The Gathering is having a banner year, helping Hasbro pull itself up by its bootstraps with blockbuster sets like The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth. That massive sales volume means that quite a lot of overstock is sitting around after the year’s best sets blazed a trail through your local game store. We’ve scanned all the Black Friday deals on Amazon, compared them to available price histories online, and narrowed things down to find the very best deals on Magic cards this holiday.
Yeyian Tanto | Core i5 12400F | RTX 3060 | 16GB DDR4-3200 | 500GB SSD | $1,199.99$719.99 at Newegg (save $480)Ignore the size of the discount, as the original price is from ages ago. Instead, just focus on what you're getting for the money. The CPU is a great little budget processor and while the RTX 3060 is a last generation model, it's still fine for 1080p gaming. Shame the SSD is so small, though, but it will fit Fortnite, at least.
