Nintendo Switch owners who want to save money on games are in luck, because some great deals are live now on the Nintendo Eshop. But unlike the weekly sales on the Xbox and PlayStation stores, the discounts here don't all end at the same time, so if you see something you want, you're better off grabbing it sooner than later.
Hollow Knight, one of the best games on the platform, is on sale now for $10, for a savings of 33%. This game is well worth it even at full price, so this is a killer deal. It's a tough-but-rewarding game of exploration and survival as you increase your abilities, gradually absorb the world's lore, and take on massive, powerful bosses.
It doesn't look like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past will be hitting Switch anytime soon, so your next best option may be to pick up Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King for $10. It borrows unabashedly from the SNES classic, but unlike many clones it has heart and charm all its own.
Puyo Puyo Tetris blends together two different falling-block puzzle games to excellent effect. You can play it alone or with another player--all you need is a pair of Joy-Cons. It's on sale for $24, which is a little easier to swallow than its usual price of $30. The clever pinball-inspired Yoku's Island Express is also on sale for $12.
Many of the other games on sale are holdovers from Ubisoft's publisher sale it's now running on the Eshop. It includes games like Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and South Park: The Fractured But Whole for $30 each, Rayman Legends Definitive Edition for $20, and Monopoly for $16.
