I’m a longtime gamer and these are the best Cyber Monday Nintendo Switch deals
I’ve been playing the Switch since 2017 — here’s what I think is worth buying on sale today.

While most Nintendo bundles tend to sell out quickly, this Nintendo Switch Lite bundle is still in stock. The lightweight console (in a limited-edition gold color) is meant for on-the-go play and includes a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack Individual Membership, which includes 10 games from the Legend of Zelda series and other Nintendo classics.
Ed’s note: This is less than 20% off but because the Nintendo Switch is rarely on sale we still think it’s a worthwhile deal.

Sonic the Hedgehog might feel like a blast from the past, but this new iteration respects that, pairing Modern and Classic Sonic to take on Dr. Eggman and the Time Eater. (How? It’s basically a time-travel adventure, with lots of nostalgia to be had.) It includes 2D and 3D stages from past Sonic games to jog your memory, but with improved visuals and updated cinematics.

Do you find deep cleaning hugely satisfying? In PowerWash Simulator, you strip dirt and grim for a living, blasting houses, cars, driveways and interiors with a myriad of washing tools.

This indie game is one of the best (and most visually stunning) I’ve played this year; I wish I could rediscover it all over again. It’s a big deciphering game where you use context clues and visual hints to solve puzzles and translate words in the Tower of Peoples. As you move through the tower — meeting different groups, each with their own language, along the way — you unlock their secrets and figure out how to unite them.

Skyrim never really goes on sale, so this is a big deal. This stunning open-world game was designed for PC, but made it to the Nintendo Switch a few years ago — and my husband owns both versions (he walked down the aisle to music from the soundtrack). In it, you play as the Dragonborn, the lone hero who can protect the land of Skyrim. All the while, you can battle enemies, run quests, collect gear and even set up a cozy home.

I use this brand for my own Switch because the application is practically foolproof: It comes with a special tray to ensure perfect alignment of the tempered-glass protector with the screen. This option, designed for the OLED Switch, protects the screen without slowing down its responsiveness or making it too bulky to dock, according to the brand.
