Animal Crossing: New Horizons | $50

If you’re not one of the millions of Animal Crossing devotees that snapped up this perfect-for-pandemic chillfest this spring, now’s your chance: Walmart has a rare deal. Right now, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is $10 off, which is the best you’re likely to see on a new copy anytime soon. Grab it while it lasts!

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate | $50

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate lives up to its boastful billing, delivering the best-ever edition of Nintendo’s franchise-mashing brawler. The sheer amount of content here is simply staggering, with 80+ playable characters, dozens of stages, stellar online play, and a big adventure mode for you to battle through. Discounts on this gem are rare, so take advantage of this $10 savings at Walmart while you can.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 | $50

In classic Nintendo fashion, Luigi’s Mansion 3 takes an intense and adult-oriented genre (survival horror) and makes a super-charming, silly, and all-ages transformation of it. You don’t need to have played the older versions to appreciate this recent adventure, which finds the other Mario brother sucking up ghosts with his vacuum pack and trying to rescue his friends after being duped into a stay at a haunted hotel. It’s $10 off at Walmart right now.

Hori Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Hard Pouch | $14

Fancy yourself a fan of The Legend of Zelda, particularly the semi-recent Switch remake of Link’s Awakening? If so, here’s the case for you. Hori’s sturdy Hard Pouch inspired by the game is more than 30% at Amazon right now, and it’s designed for the standard, full-sized Switch.

And if you’re looking for something a little larger with a handle, there’s a different Hori Deluxe Case based on the game for just under $17 right now.

Streets of Rage 4 | $34

Did you know that Streets of Rage 4 is one of the year’s best-reviewed Switch games? After 26 years on the shelf, this classic Sega beat-’em-up franchise was revived and done with style, delivering an experience that doesn’t just coast on nostalgia. Right now, you can save $6 off at Amazon, and this version comes with an art booklet, reversible cover, and keychain no less.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt | $40

Have you seen The Witcher on Netflix? Now you can experience that fantasy world on Switch with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Recently ported to Switch with all of the bonus content bundled in, The Witcher 3 is one of the most critically-acclaimed role-playing adventures of all time. It’s an enormous, open-world epic that you can surely sink months into, if you please. It’s $20 off right now.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild | $50

Widely regarded as the Switch’s crowning masterpiece and one of the greatest games of this generation, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild launched alongside the system more than three years ago.

Given that, you might be surprised to see us share a mere $10 savings on this gem — but Nintendo’s first-party games rarely go on sale, especially this one. It’s still a must-play game for any Switch owner, and especially if you can save a little cash on it.

SanDisk 128GB microSD Card for Switch | $28

If you’re downloading games from the Switch eShop, then you’ll probably need some extra space. Luckily, the Switch accommodates affordable microSD cards, and there are even Nintendo-branded versions from SanDisk.

This official microSD card has a Mario mushroom on it and is currently on sale for $28, marked down 20%. However, if you can deal without the branding, you can grab a standard 128GB SanDisk microSD card for $16, almost half the price… and it works just as well.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe | $50

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the ultimate Mario Kart, upgrading the original Wii U rendition with more courses, more character, and a much improved battle mode.

This $10 savings isn’t massive for a three-year old game, but like Breath of the Wild above, this Nintendo gem just doesn’t go on sale very often. Take advantage of it while it lasts!

BioShock/XCOM 2/Borderlands Collections | $35 Each

Big games on a little screen! 2K Games recently ported three of its top franchises from other consoles and PC to the Switch in content packed bundles, and they’re already discounted at Amazon.

The BioShock Collection gives you a trio of bold and distinctive first-person shooter campaigns, while the XCOM 2 Collection gives you the complete version of the critically acclaimed turn-based strategy gem and Borderlands Legendary Collection has a trio of cartoon-stylized, over-the-top, looter-shooter favorites.

You can save $15 on each of these right now. Note that you’ll definitely need a microSD card for these, as all three require a significant download to access the entire game.

PDP GameCube-Style Mario Controller | $19

If you ask most die-hard Super Smash Bros. players, they’ll swear that Nintendo’s original GameCube controller from 2001 is the best way to play the game. Luckily, you can still get that experience on the Switch today.

PDP’s officially-licensed wired Switch controller keeps the same look and feel of the original, and is great whether you’re playing Smash or something else entirely. Right now, this Mario-themed edition is $6 off the regular price, but Amazon has several other designs at various prices.

The Wonderful 101: Remastered | $34

The list of delightful and/or wonderfully weird Wii U exclusives keeps getting smaller and smaller thanks to Switch ports, and one of the latest is The Wonderful 101: Remastered.

This oddball game from the director of Bayonetta and Okami has you take control of a massive group of superheroes at once as you fight baddies and solve your way through challenges. It’s already 15% off at Amazon right now.

Satisfye Pro Grip | $29

Here’s a third-party accessory that many fans consider an essential part of the portable Switch experience: the Satisfye Pro Grip.

This large peripheral hugs the original Switch console and provides you comfortable grips for a more ergonomic play experience, plus it has optional thumbstick toppers to help with aiming. The Satisfye Pro Grip has a 4.8-star rating on Amazon with more than 2,300 customer reviews as of this writing, and it’s 17% off the list price.
