Voted Mumsnet's favourite family games console, the Nintendo Switch is brilliant choice if you're on the lookout for a console for the whole family to enjoy - and this Black Friday there are deals and bundles galore from a whole range of retailers.

Not only is the Nintendo Switch console at its lowest price point at Amazon (£250), retailers are vying with one another to offer up the best deal, throwing in free games, online memberships and more.

The Switch is great, me and DH use it just as much as DD! It's been great when camping or staying with friends. I would recommend getting an extra set of controllers for when friends are over or if you want to play too.

Our verdict

Nintendo's best console to date, the OLED model usually retails at around the £290 - £300 mark, so this deal is essentially throwing in the excellent Mario Kart 8 and 3-month online membership for free.

The Nintendo Switch Online membership enables players access to a selection of classic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Super NES games as well as play compatible games (including Mario Kart 8) online.

This deal slightly different price points from our selection of retailers, but it's worth noting that if you buy from John Lewis, you can also pick up a Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset for just £30 (RRP: £45) using the discount code G435 at the checkout.

My DH has a Switch and I have a Switch Lite. I prefer the Lite as it’s a smaller handheld console and I found it easier to use than the Switch.

I LOVE Animal Crossing and have been playing on my Switch for a couple of years ... I love going and looking round random islands by using peoples dream codes though now and again.

Our verdict

The Nintendo Switch Lite is a great option for long journeys and on-the-go gaming and is the cheaper Switch option. Usually priced at around £190 - £200 for the console alone, you can currently pick up a Switch Lite and game for as little as £195. In fact, it's currently cheaper at Argos to purchase the Nintendo Switch Lite and Animal Crossing game bundle deal than it is to buy the Switch Lite on its own!
