Do you need some new games to play? Do you own a Switch? Well, you’re in luck. A bunch of great Switch games are currently on sale on Amazon and Woot at a decent discount.
The ones I’m about to recommend to you aren’t what normally come to mind when most people think “best” Switch games. There’s no The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe here. But I promise each of these five digital game picks is great all the same:
- Metroid Dread – $40 (33 percent off)
- Fire Emblem: Three Houses – $40 (33 percent off)
- Astral Chain – $40 (33 percent off)
- Bayonetta 3 – $40 (33 percent off)
- Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp – $40 (33 percent off)
Okay, so maybe Advance Wars should have launched at $40 but, well, here we are. If you prefer to only buy physical games, Amazon-owned Woot has some slightly less aggressive discounts (while supplies last):
- Pokémon Legends: Z-A – $45 (25 percent off)
- The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom – $45 (25 percent off)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder – $45 (25 percent off)
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – $45 (25 percent off)
- Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door – $45 (25 percent off)
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is probably the worst game in the series but still a neat RPG that rarely goes on sale and now plays much better on Switch 2. Okay, quick bonus round because there are also some great indie games that are even more marked-down than usual on the Nintendo eShop:
- Loop Hero – $3.50 (77 percent off)
- My Friend Pedro – $4 (80 percent off)
- Planet of Lana – $7 (65 percent off)
- The Messenger – $4 (80 percent off)
- Gris – $3 (80 percent off)
- Death’s Door – $4 (80 percent off)
- Streets of Rage 4 – $7.50 (70 percent off)
- Blasphemous 2 – $10 (67 percent off)
Lots of other stuff is on sale too, like Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles, a steal at any price, but especially at just $40.
