With Nintendo’s eShop sale going on right now, what’s a better time to grab a gift card and start downloading away? Well, you’ll be able to save $5 and get $5 for your Nintendo account to start spending pretty much instantly on a whole host of brand-new titles including Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, which we called “A triumph” in our review.

Some of the best games available on Switch are currently on sale. These include things like Mario Odyssey, Skyrim, and Tetris Effect. The Nintendo Switch store is full of little gems, so we certainly recommend having a look around for yourself, as there’s absolutely loads of choice. The best part about this deal is that you’re able to essentially get $5 for free. So, be sure to not miss out on the huge selection available on the eShop.

There’s so much in fact that some users have voiced their opinions against it, especially so long into the now-aging Nintendo Switch’s lifecycle.

Tips for shopping in the Nintendo eShop sale

Becuase it can be difficult to get your head around what games you should be looking for in the Nintendo eShop sale, look at buying a few games in the sale and saving the gold coins you get from each purchase. If you go absolutely hog wild and buy a fair few games – especially with your extra $5 – you’ll realise that when it comes to later in the year, and the bigger, meatier games start to hit, you can discount them using your coin balance.

Need some ideas for what to play? We’ve got you covered:

If you don’t feel like waiting to spend your inevitable haul of gold coins, why not pick up Disco Elysium. It’s not currently on sale, but the rollercoaster ride of emotions, hilarity and poignant writing make it one experience you’d not want to miss out on. It’s not for everyone, so if you’re not into it, you can still make savings on first-party games like Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze.
