Nintendo has surprised everyone by offering discounts on their popular games through a special summer sale. The promotion started Thursday and will continue until July 9 at 11:59 p.m. PDT through the Nintendo eShop.
Switch 2 owners can now grab excellent deals on original Switch games that have been updated to work perfectly on the new console. Popular titles like Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and Super Mario Odyssey are all available at reduced prices. Additional Nintendo games included in this sale are Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Definitive Edition, Nintendo Switch Sports, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Fitness Boxing 3: Your Personal Trainer, and Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition.
Third-Party Games Join the Savings
The sale extends beyond Nintendo’s own games to include many third-party and indie titles. Gamers can find affordable options that might make them consider expanding their game library beyond what they can realistically play. Notable third-party games on sale include Balatro, Hades, Tetris Forever, Metal Slug Tactics, Yakuza Kiwami, Monster Train First Class, Diablo 3: Eternal Collection, and Borderlands 2.
