Nintendo Launches Summer Sale on Switch Games

Alright, so here’s the scoop, folks. If you’re a die-hard gamer clutching your Switch 2 and wondering what to play, oh boy, do I have news for you. There’s this wild wave of old but gold Switch games that suddenly got their own glow-up updates to fit with the shiny new hardware. And guess what? They’re on sale! You know, games like Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury — which, let’s face it, has too many dimensions for my brain to handle — The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and Super Mario Odyssey. Seriously, who doesn’t love Mario? Or maybe I’m just a sucker for that mustache.

And hey, it doesn’t stop there. Reeling in some first-party goodies too, you’ve got Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD (because haunted houses are better in high def, duh), and yes, Fitness Boxing 3: Your Personal Trainer is also strutting on the runway. Why? I don’t know. Maybe they think we’ll game ourselves fit. Kudos to optimism, I guess.

Oh, but wait, there’s this avalanche of third-party games. Indie gems and more! They’re practically throwing games at us with such insane discounts that you might start weighing the need between buying dinner or building an unplayable library of thirty titles you’ll never touch, but hey, who’s counting?

Stuff those virtual carts with everything from Balatro (I still don’t know what this is, but maybe that’s part of the adventure), the ever-addictive Hades, and some Tetris Forever. Like, isn’t Tetris already forever? I digress. Anyway, grab Metal Slug Tactics or Yakuza Kiwami, because why not relive the arcade nostalgia or get knee-deep into some Japanese underworld drama?

Honestly, this summer sale madness might just be the best thing to happen—until my wallet starts crying. But, you know, small price to pay for digital happiness, or whatever. 🕹️
