Update: You can use this discounted $50 Nintendo eShop gift card to score a deal on the new Switch game pre-orders below – it also works on Nintendo Switch Online vouchers. Available for today only, use code SS9JNDT2422 at Newegg to score this $50 eShop card for $45 with free digital delivery. 

As you likely know by now, Nintendo just hosted one of the most exciting Direct presentations in recent memory with the debut of Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, and more. And with pre-orders now going live on many of the 2024 releases, it seem a fitting time resurface Nintendo’s Switch Online voucher system. As of right now, it is the only way to score a deal on the exciting new releases (if you don’t mind digital editions that are playable the second the release date arrives). We have detailed how it works previously, but the short form version is that Switch Online members can buy a two-game voucher for $100, and now that the new releases are eligible, that means you can score two of the regularly $60 new titles for $50 a pop. If you don’t want digital copies though, they are also now live on Best Buy:

  • Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom $60
  • Mario & Luigi: Brothership $60
  • Donkey Kong Country Returns HD $60
  • Super Mario Party Jamboree $60

Super Mario RPG $40 Amazon low, Star Wars Outlaws + $10 credit, more in today’s best game deals

While the Best Buy Members Deals Days game offers roll on (found below) alongside today’s rare deal on the Nintendo Switch Lite, Amazon has now brought back its all-time low pricing on Super Mario RPG. The remake of the Nintendo classic takes the experience to new heights with modern visuals, updated and classic soundtracks, and all-new gameplay mechanics. But if you haven’t added it to your collection yet – it’s a great game to play while you await the big-time releases later this year, you can do so once again down at $39.95 shipped. Regularly $60, this is 33% off and matching the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon. Head below for the rest of today’s game deals.

Deals on Nintendo’s handheld-only Switch Lite don’t pop up that often, and perhaps even less so on the Coral colorway. But Amazon is now offering the compact Nintendo Switch Lite down at $170.98 shipped. Regularly $199, and likely to not last long at a price like this, it is now at the lowest we have tracked via Amazon on this colorway. It might not be the sweet new shimmering golden Hyrule edition set for release alongside the new Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom later this year, but it will still play all of the same games, is now on sale, and that one might be near impossible to actually get your hands on at MSRP.
