Perfect time to buy Switch games
Nintendo is notorious for keeping its first-party games close to full price even years after launch. So promotions like MAR10 Day are the best opportunities to grab popular Switch titles for less. It also offers a good entry point for newer Switch owners looking to explore Mario’s adventures, from platforming classics and party games to RPGs and puzzle spin-offs.
Just don’t wait too long, since Mario Day promotions are limited-time offers that typically run through mid-March. So after March 15 at 11:59 PM PT, these games will return to their standard pricing.
