One of the hottest deals to be offered last Cyber Monday was Amazon's Nintendo Switch with "Super Mario Odyssey" and "Mario Rabbids." The products went on sale at exactly 10 am UK time on Nov. 27. After going live, the product was then sold out after only 81 seconds.

The Switch Bundle including two Super Mario games was sold for £299. The original deal was for sale for only £269 and the package only included the "Super Mario Odyssey" video game. According to GamesRadar, the Nintendo Switch offered by Amazon was one of the best deals of Cyber Monday 2017. It was also indicated that Amazon offered other Nintendo Switch bundles, but none of these deals were able to compete with the Switch + Super Mario deals in terms of popularity.

Amazon also offered a Nintendo Switch with "FIFA 18" bundle for £324.99 and Switch console with the "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" video game for £309.99. The "FIFA 18" bundle was not able to sell out.

"Super Mario Odyssey" is one of the most successful video games to be released in 2017. The platform video game went on sale on Oct. 27 and it received various awards from video game critics.

The sandbox mode game received a perfect score of 10 from IGN, 9.5 out of 10 from Polygon, and 97 percent from Metacritic. The game is exclusively developed by Nintendo for the Switch console.

According to IGN, "Super Mario Odyssey's" entire gameplay, story mode, and game features are well executed and is a giant leap forward compared to previous "Super Mario" video games.

"Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle" also received impressive reviews from critics after its release on Aug. 29. The game was given a 7.7 out of 10 score from IGN and 85 percent from Metacritic. There are still no updates from Amazon if the deal will be offered again.
