Summer sales have begun kicking off everywhere–from GOG to Steam–and Nintendo is also throwing its hat into the commerce ring with discounts on dozens of its games. The Nintendo Summer Sale is primarily focused on digital games, and right now, there are some great deals for Switch exclusives and third-party titles from a number of studios. All of these games will work on both Switch and Switch 2 consoles, and considering that the Switch 2 has a decent amount of storage capacity, this is a nice way to fill up the library on that machine.
On the Nintendo side, Super Mario Odyssey has been discounted to $40, and considering that it just got a graphical upgrade for Switch 2, it’s definitely worth picking up if you’ve got the new hybrid console. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury also got a free upgrade for Switch 2, and it’s on sale for $40 (was $60). 3D Super Mario games are generally some of the best in any Nintendo library, and this upgraded version of the Wii U/Switch classic doesn’t disappoint.
Not one to be left out, Mario’s brother Luigi is also ready to rock in a discounted adventure. Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD is a lovely game starring the lanky plumber as he embarks on a ghost-busting career, and you can grab this for $42. One of the biggest bargains here is for Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, as it has been discounted from $60 to $15. If you love turn-based strategy, then this is a marvelous game to pick up, especially at this price. It’s charming, hilarious, and the gameplay features an impressive amount of depth to it.
