Hold your horses, gamers – it ain't Black Friday just yet, but Nintendo's already spilled the beans on their hottest Switch deals for 2025's biggest shopping frenzy. While the gaming giant's famously tight-fisted with discounts (why budge when Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sells like hotcakes?), they're rolling out rare price cuts as the Switch era winds down. This year's lineup? Absolute fire, featuring heavy hitters that'll make your wallet breathe easier.
The crown jewel? The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom crashing from its $70 throne to $49.99. Yeah, you read that right – Link's sky-high adventure at ground-level pricing. This ain't just any discount; it's a flat-out robbery (the legal kind!). Normally, paying half a Benjamin for this masterpiece would get you laughed out of Hyrule.
"Tears of the Kingdom for $50? That's a straight-up steal," says every Switch owner ever.
But wait, there's more! Nintendo's tossing other bangers into the bargain bin:
-
🏝️ Animal Crossing: New Horizons – $39.99 (because even Tom Nook deserves a holiday sale)
-
🌈 Kirby and The Forgotten Land – $39.99
-
🪴 Pikmin 4 – $39.99
-
🍄 Super Mario Maker 2 – $39.99
Hardware hunters, lean in – that slick Hyrule Edition Switch Lite? It's packing a free 12-month Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack ($40 value). No official price chop, but c'mon – free DLC access is chef's kiss.
