Super Mario RPG was initially released in 1996 for the SNES, and over two decades later, a remake has been released for Nintendo Switch. Super Mario RPG for Switch is an excellent game, even being a great entry point into the world of RPGs. As one of the wackiest Mario games on Switch, there are dozens of unique characters to discover who have never appeared outside of this title. It’s also one of the rare occasions where Mario and Bowser work together – the King of the Koopas even joins your party! On top of all that, the legendary Yoko Shimomura returned to compose the soundtrack, making for an unforgettable Mario experience that is definitely worth it at this price.

More Switch Game Deals for Prime Day

We’ll keep adding any more Nintendo Switch games we find on sale to this list.

When Are Switch Games On Sale?

The Nintendo eShop pretty much always has digital versions of Switch games on sale, which you can find in the “Great Deals” section of the app on your Switch. While you can’t really predict what games you’ll find on sale when, you may be able to find a new third-party gem. If you’re looking for physical Switch games, whether to manage your console’s storage or to add to your collection, you should check out big shopping events like Prime Day or Black Friday.

One of the best Switch deals is grabbing a special edition Nintendo Switch, like the Animal Crossing Switch Lite, which includes a free Nintendo game. That said, it may be worth waiting for the Nintendo Switch 2 if you’re looking for a console upgrade.
