Best Zelda Deals I’ve Seen This Year
Before The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom drops in September, Walmart has cut prices on the two most recent Zelda games on Switch. Last year’s Tears of the Kingdom is at a lower price than it’s ever been on Amazon. BotW and TotK were both released to critical acclaim, and it’s never been more affordable to explore open-world Hyrule.

(Super) Discounts on Mario Games
Pretty much the full spread of modern Mario games for Switch is on sale at one retailer or another. My pick of the bunch is the beloved co-op platformer, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, but Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Maker 2, and Mario Party Superstars are all discounted during Walmart’s Labor Day sale.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is $10 Off in Rare Sale
The Animal Crossing series is a pillar of the cozy gaming community, but New Horizons is one of those first-party Nintendo titles that almost never goes on sale. In fact, it hasn’t been on sale on Amazon since 2022. So $10 off might not seem like the biggest steal, but it’s probably the best AC:NH deal we’ll see this year.

Should You Wait Until the Nintendo Switch 2 Comes Out?
We’ve heard whispers of the Switch 2 for a couple years now, and rumor has it the console will be hitting shelves in 2025. Nintendo hasn’t confirmed anything about the console, including whether it will backwards-compatible with original Switch games. That said, there’s long list of Switch games coming out that I personally am still excited for. If you don’t have a Switch already, maybe consider holding off for the upgrade (thought Walmart has some great deals on Switch consoles for those who can’t resist). Otherwise, the current Nintendo console supports great games that will always be worth playing.
