We rarely see Nintendo’s first-party games discounted on the eShop, but even Nintendo is getting in the holiday spirit this week. On Thursday, Nintendo kicked off its Hits for the Holidays Sale, slashing prices on dozens of popular Switch games. All the games featured in the sale are at least 20% off, and some are as much as 65% cheaper than usual.
It isn’t an overwhelmingly long list, but in case you’re struggling to decide which Switch games to pick up while they’re on sale, we do have some suggestions:
- Metroid Dread: $41.99 (was $59.99)
- Nintendo Switch Sports: $27.99 (was $39.99)
- Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury: $39.99 (was $59.99)
- Super Mario Maker 2: $39.99 (was $59.99)
- Citizen Sleeper: $9.99 (was $19.99)

Nintendo’s Hits for the Holidays Sale ends on January 3 at 11:59 p.m. PT, so be sure to act fast if you want any of these games at a discounted price.
