A new Nintendo game sale has gone live on Amazon, bringing steep discounts on a wide selection of titles for both the original Switch and the newly released Switch 2. The promotion includes what appears to be the lowest price ever for "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom," a game that has remained stubbornly expensive since its launch.
Shoppers can find several first-party Nintendo games slashed to prices rarely seen. Beyond the Zelda deal, other heavy hitters like "Super Mario Odyssey," "Splatoon 3," and "Metroid Dread" are also seeing significant markdowns. The sale covers physical copies of games, making it a good opportunity for collectors or those who prefer to own their software on a cartridge.
The timing of the sale is notable, as it arrives just as Nintendo ramps up its marketing for the Switch 2. While the new console is backward compatible, these discounts give players a chance to catch up on the massive Switch library at a fraction of the usual cost. Some of the games on sale are also confirmed to receive performance patches for the Switch 2, adding extra value for early adopters of the new hardware.
Amazon has not specified an exact end date for the promotion, but given the limited nature of these deep discounts, interested buyers should act quickly. The deals are available while stock lasts, and popular titles are likely to sell out fast.
