A selection of first-party Nintendo Switch games are on sale for $40 each at Amazon. Switch games don't go on sale very often, and since most are discounted by up to 33%, this is a perfect chance to grab brand-new boxed copies of some great Nintendo games.

The newest games in Amazon's sale are Splatoon 3 and Kirby and the Forgotten Land, both of which were some of the best games of 2022. The rest of the deals are for older Switch releases, including The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. While the game may have been eclipsed by its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, in some respects, Breath of the Wild is still one of the biggest and best games on Nintendo Switch, and a special experience with its own identity separate from its younger sibling. If you want to buy Tears of the Kingdom as well, you can get it for $51 at Walmart.

If you need to catch up on Mario's games on Switch, you can also grab Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe for $40 each in Amazon's sale. Meanwhile, fans of Mario's long-time rival Donkey Kong can also grab Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for $40 while it's still in stock.
