Get Deal $44.99 $59.99 Save $15.00 SEE 7 MORE Twenty-eight percent or so might sound like a modest discount, but in Nintendo bucks, it's a king's ransom. And the selection is pretty solid, too. No, there aren't any Nintendo Switch 2 games on sale yet, but if you're still on the original Nintendo Switch, there's enough here to give you hours of fun. (alternately, you can take advantage of the Switch 2's release to also get an original Switch on the cheap right now, then use these game deals to beef up your library.)
Switch 1 mainstays like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyssey stand out as must-haves here, but personally, I'm impressed to see more recent games like The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom already getting marked down. Whether you like platformers, party games, or RPGs, there's something to appeal to you here. And yes, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is on sale, too.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate $42.99 $59.99 Save $17.00 Get Deal
Get Deal $42.99 $59.99 Save $17.00 The only catch? A good chunk of these sales are on Woot!. Woot! is an Amazon subsidiary, so you don't have to worry about getting scammed, but stock often tends to move faster there than on its bigger brother. It's a race to the flagpole, folks.
