Nintendo Announces Summer Sale on Switch Games

I was just thinking about gaming—you know, those times where you’re glued to the screen and forget you even have a life outside pixels and controllers. So here’s the deal. If you’re one of those folks hanging on to your Switch 2, eyeing new games like they might sneak away, you’re in luck. Loads of those classic Switch games have gotten these nifty free updates, making them all snazzy for the new hardware. They’re like old friends showing up in a cool new outfit. Anyway, they’re also going for crazy low prices right now. We’re talking Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and Super Mario Odyssey. Pretty tempting, right?

And hold on, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Ever try saying Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD fast ten times? Seriously, it’s harder than it looks. Anyway—wait, where was I? Right, Nintendo’s eShop! You can snag Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD there, along with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Definitive Edition and a bunch of others. Like, Animal Crossing: New Horizons if you’re into cute anxiety-free town building. Or maybe Fitness Boxing 3 if, for some reason, you need a console to remind you about that workout you keep putting off.

Then, there’s this whole indie extravaganza happening. I’ve legit heard someone say, “Forget dinner, I need those digital adventures in my library, like, yesterday.” Not my words, but they have a point. Check out Balatro, Hades, and Tetris Forever. Wait, Tetris, forever? Not sure if anyone can handle that, but still, there it is. Metal Slug Tactics and the ever-addictive Diablo 3: Eternal Collection are all in the mix, begging for a spot in your backlog. I’d say more, but my brain is stuck on thinking why Yakuza Kiwami sounds like a spicy dish. Weird, right?

Anyway, scroll through some game deals below. You’ll find prices that make you question your priorities. Or at least, they should.
