Steam isn’t the only platform holding a big summer sale. Nintendo Switch users can currently get a whole bunch of games up to 50% off on the eShop from now through July 6 in a “Big Ol’ Super Sale.” While gaming sales are a dime a dozen, a Nintendo sale is especially significant. The company is usually stingy when it comes to discounting its exclusives, so events like this are rare.
The list of discounted games isn’t one to ignore. While it doesn’t include any recent releases, like Mario Strikers: Battle League, it’s a great way to get some of 2021’s best console exclusives at half price. Here are the games you should grab before the sale ends. Get them this week and you can take them on your Fourth of July vacation.
If you missed Monster Hunter Rise last year, now’s the perfect time to dip in. That’s because the action RPG is getting a massive new expansion this week. The paid Sunbreak DLC brings more monsters, weapons, and locations to the game. With that in mind, Capcom’s 49% discount on the base game is a well-timed move. You can get the full game for $30.49 currently, which is actually less than Sunbreak itself, which will cost you $40. Give Rise a try first and see if it’s worth the investment.
Out of everything on sale, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga might be the most notable. It’s not because it’s heavily discounted (it’s only 25% off, taking it down to $45), but more so because it’s a brand new release. The Lego game dropped this spring to mostly positive reviews, though Digital Trends was a little more lukewarm on it at the time. If you love Star Wars or need a good game for your kids, this is as good a time as any to pick it up and enjoy all nine films told in brick form.
