While the game lineup for the Nintendo Switch 2 is still pretty sparse, Nintendo is currently offering a discount on almost 4,000 games for the original Nintendo Switch. Some discounts exceed 80% and deals on select first-party Nintendo games, this might be one of the biggest eShop promos of the year.

The Nintendo eShop is now granting discounts on numerous games until September 14. This so-called Blockbuster Sale even includes select Nintendo games, though the discounts on first-party titles are relatively modest, as usual. For example, Nintendo is offering Super Mario Maker 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for €45 each, which constitutes a price cut of €15. Please note that all prices mentioned here apply to the European market, as pricing for the US and other regions might differ.

The discount on Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is more attractive. Although it has been developed by Ubisoft, this game is a Nintendo Switch exclusive and currently on sale for €10, down from €60. The promotion also includes a number of games developed for the Nintendo Switch 2, including Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition for €59.49, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII for €49, Sonic x Shadow Generations for €32.49, and No Man's Sky for €20. The space adventure is particularly appealing thanks to the massive update it received recently.

The Blockbuster Sale also includes some bargains, with discounts of up to 90% in some cases. Here are some of the highlights that are discounted by at least 70%:

  • The Longest Five Minutes for €2.99 (–92%)
  • Lost in Random for €2.99 (–90%)
