Black Friday is still weeks out, but Nintendo hardware discounts are already landing. Woot is taking $75 off the Nintendo Switch 2 console, one of the first meaningful price cuts on the system since launch, per IGN.
For players who already own the console — or the original Switch — the Legend of Zelda Edition Pro Controller has dropped to $46.60, a steep discount on one of the more sought-after first-party pads. IGN notes the controller is fully compatible with the Switch 2, so the Zelda-themed design isn't a legacy-hardware trap.
The timing is notable mostly for how early it is. Nintendo products have historically been among the most discount-resistant in gaming, with first-party hardware and accessories rarely moving far off list price outside of official bundles. Two simultaneous cuts in the first week of November suggest retailers are positioning aggressively ahead of the holiday window rather than waiting for Black Friday proper.
As with most Woot and early-season deals, stock and pricing tend to be volatile — these discounts are typically gone well before the actual Black Friday rush arrives. Anyone eyeing a Switch 2 upgrade or a controller for the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake may not want to count on these prices resurfacing later in the month.
