Look away, Nintendo puritans, or risk being converted to the third-party agenda with some of Amazon's Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals on PowerA controllers.
Whether it's the simple black wired controller for just $15.99, or something a little louder like this PowerA Enhanced wireless Waluigi controller for $36.99, PowerA has a huge selection currently on sale for Black Friday, with up to 36% off some models. (Not in the US? Scroll down for deals in your region).
While there are a handful of Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Black Friday deals dotted around, even the lowest prices are still pretty eye-watering. Plus, all you really stand to lose versus first-party controllers are the rumble and NFC functionality for amiibo scanning.
With Nintendo once more not budging far from its listing prices on its Joy-Con and Pro controllers, we'd recommend snapping up these deals before Cyber Monday.

The Nintendo Switch is a fantastic console, but it's undeniable that it - and its accessories and games - aren't the most budget-friendly at times, so it's not the worst idea to cut corners where you can. If you can survive without some of the value-adding features on the Joy-Con and Pro controllers, PowerA controllers are the next best bet. Plus, they come in way more fun designs, in our opinion.
