Nintendo runs several major sales throughout the year. The biggest events are the Spring Sale (March-April), Summer Sale, Black Friday, and Holiday Sale in December. Nintendo also hosts themed promotions like Indie World sales, franchise celebrations (Mario Day in March, Zelda anniversary), and publisher-specific sales throughout the year. Unlike Steam, Nintendo rarely discounts its own first-party titles deeply, but third-party games frequently see 50-80% off. Set up price alerts to catch every Switch deal.

Nintendo first-party titles like Mario, Zelda and Pokemon games are famously slow to discount. They typically maintain their full price for years, with modest 20-30% discounts appearing during the biggest sales. This "evergreen pricing" strategy means Nintendo exclusives hold their value longer than games on other platforms. For better prices on Nintendo first-party titles, check third-party retailers who occasionally offer deals that beat the eShop. XD.deals compares all sources to find you the cheapest option.

Third-party games on Switch frequently receive deep discounts during eShop sales. The indie game selection is particularly strong, with hundreds of quality titles regularly available for under $5-10. Use this page to browse current deals sorted by discount percentage or Best Deals. Set up price alerts on titles you want. Check the historical low page during sales. Physical game deals from authorized retailers are also worth comparing, as they sometimes beat digital prices.

Yes. Many games available on Switch are also on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Click on any game to see prices across all platforms. Switch versions are often priced higher than other platforms for the same game, especially from third-party publishers. The portability of Switch may justify the premium for some players, but comparing prices helps you make an informed decision.

XD.deals monitors eShop prices and maintains price history for every Switch game. Add games to your price alerts and you will be notified when prices drop. The price history chart shows when previous eShop sales happened. This is especially useful for tracking Nintendo first-party titles that discount infrequently. During major sales like Black Friday, check the best deals page for curated top offers across all platforms.

As the Nintendo Switch 2 launches, XD.deals is tracking games for the new platform alongside the original Switch. Many titles are expected to be available on both systems. Use the platform filter to focus on Switch 2 or original Switch games specifically. For the latest news about Switch 2 game pricing and availability, follow our news section. Price alerts work for both platforms, ensuring you catch deals regardless of which Nintendo console you own.

Nintendo eShop pricing varies by region, and some deals are region-specific. XD.deals tracks eShop prices for your region based on your locale settings. Certain third-party retailers offer Nintendo codes that may be region-locked, so always check compatibility before purchasing. The eShop itself offers consistent deals across most regions during major sales, though prices and currencies differ.
