Nintendo Switch Games Are On Sale: Mario Kart 8, Pokémon, Xenoblade, And More

A Ton Of Nintendo Switch Games Are Really Cheap Right Now

Fall is packed with new releases, but if your backlog is calling, now’s the perfect time to catch up. A new sale on physical Nintendo Switch games is slashing prices across some of the platform’s biggest hits—Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, and more—making it easier than ever to round out your collection.

The sale is happening at Woot, the Amazon-owned daily deals site that frequently unloads surplus physical stock at steep discounts. This round is particularly strong, with nearly every major first-party Switch game sitting $15–$20 below Nintendo’s notoriously unchanging MSRP.

Some of the best deals include:

• Super Mario Party Jamboree – $44 (27% off)
• Luigi’s Mansion 3 – $43 (28% off)
• Super Mario RPG – $35 (42% off)
• The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening – $47 (22% off)
• Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze – $44 (27% off)
• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – $46 (23% off)
• Animal Crossing: New Horizons – $45 (25% off)
• Super Mario Bros. Wonder – $45 (25% off)
• Super Mario Odyssey – $45 (25% off)
• Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury – $45 (25% off)
• Metroid Dread – $47 (22% off)
• Splatoon 3 – $45 (25% off)
• Mario & Luigi: Brothership – $45 (25% off)
• Pokémon Shining Pearl/Brilliant Diamond – $45 (25% off)
• Pokémon Scarlet/Violet – $47 (22% off)

Perfect for Switch 2 Owners, Too

If you’ve already upgraded to the Switch 2, most of these titles run even better on the newer hardware thanks to backwards compatibility and improved performance. In some cases, like Super Mario Party Jamboree, buying the discounted Switch 1 version effectively saves you money off the upgraded Switch 2 release.

Unfortunately, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom—both stunning on Switch 2—aren’t part of the current sale.

What About Mario Kart World?

Nintendo’s newest racer, Mario Kart World, is also included, though the discount is modest—$70 physical versus the usual $80. Still, for new players choosing between World and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the latter remains the better value thanks to years of DLC, extra tracks, and a more classic feel.

Go Buy Xenoblade Chronicles X

One standout deal is Monolith Soft’s remaster of the Wii U open-world RPG, Xenoblade Chronicles X. Physical copies are $47 (22% off), marking the lowest price yet. It’s the definitive version of a beloved cult RPG, complete with a killer soundtrack, customizable mechs, and one of Nintendo’s most ambitious sci-fi worlds. Physical stock is likely to dry up fast, so now’s the time to grab it.
