Now is a good time to get some Nintendo Switch games, whether you have the console or are hoping to get one soon. Best Buy and Amazon have knocked off as much as $25 off some fantastic titles that are easy to recommend, including Fire Emblem: Three Houses (my personal favorite from 2019), Splatoon 2, Mario Tennis Aces, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Games that don’t usually see a discount are $20 off, like The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Luigi’s Mansion 3.

If you’d prefer opting for the digital copies of these games, the prices for them go no lower than $40 today. We’ll put those links below as well. It never hurts to serve up the reminder that, if you do plan to get a few digital downloads, you’ll likely need more space than the Switch offers. Here’s a link to an affordable 256GB microSD card at Amazon.
Games
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
$40$6033% off
$40
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a remarkably deep, turn-based strategy game. While most games in this genre treat your units as disposable pawns, Three Houses forces you to become attached to these units by having specific characters lead them into battle. These characters each have their own distinct strengths, weaknesses, and personality quirks that become more apparent as you build relationships with them between missions.
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening
$50$6017% off
$50
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening brings back the classic adventure from the original GameBoy to experience on the Nintendo Switch with an extremely cute art style.
Luigi’s Mansion 3
$40$7043% off
$40
Luigi’s Mansion 3 is an adorable puzzle platformer with light co-op elements and a tinge of horror.
Still time!
Yesterday’s deal on the Logitech G203 LightSync wired gaming mouse is still happening at Best Buy and Amazon. It’s normally $40, but you can grab the black-colored option for $15.

Lastly
For all of you lucky people who already snagged a PS5 (I’m definitely not seething with jealousy or anything), I recommend taking advantage of the deal on this one-year PS Plus subscription at Eneba.com. Normally $60 through Sony, it’s just $29 here (the default pricing might be in euros, but you can toggle it near the language settings at the top right of Eneba’s site). This is a great price if you want online multiplayer, as well as access to Sony’s Game Pass-like offering of PS4 game downloads for PS5 users.
