Nintendo Switch games don’t go on sale as often as some of the other consoles, first-party titles especially. So, when there’s a promotion or discount it’s always best to see what’s available and gauge whether or not you’ve been wanting a game, or two, or three. Besides the many upcoming Nintendo Switch games soon to release, there is an incredible selection of relatively new to old titles too!
One of the best things about Switch games is that you can also grab them pre-owned without missing out on anything major — they don’t typically include download codes and most downloadable items are free. That allows you to get them cheaper than full price, alongside new copies that go on sale. You can choose either option, going with whatever matches your budget. It’s the perfect time to mention that GameStop is hosting a sale on many Switch games right now, with some truly excellent prices. You can browse the sale yourself, or see our top picks below.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – $44, was $60
Mario Kart is a staple of Nintendo consoles, and it’s a lot of play to play locally with friends and family to see who can cross that finish line, and who gets taken out by a shell! Plus, you’ll never look at Luigi the same after this one thanks to his frequent mean mugging.
