Best overall Nintendo Switch game deal

Why we like it

The Nintendo Switch port of Red Dead Redemption just debuted in August 2023, so the fact that it's already seeing such a sizable discount is good news if you've been looking to jump into the sprawling adventure. This is the same game you've seen on other consoles and PCs, now available to play on the go. Rockstar Games' gritty Western epic is one of the developer's best, and whether it's your first rodeo or not, you can't do any better in terms of pricing here by saving $15. Right now, it's available at both Amazon and the My Nintendo Store for the same price, so take your pick!

Best simulation Nintendo Switch game deal

Why we like it

It's hard to overstate how much fun you can have with Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You're in control of your own island full of anthropomorphic animal inhabitants, all of whom you can call your friends. Decorate your own little home, catch bugs and fish, create custom clothing and decor, and live your best life in this super cute and super fun simulation game that none of us could get enough of in 2020 during the height of the pandemic. It's still just as adorable as it's ever been. Right now, you can get it at Amazon for $41 and 99 cents more via the My Nintendo Store.

Best multiplayer Nintendo Switch game deal

Why we like it

Splatoon 3 is some of the most fun you can have playing with other people on the Switch. The third installment of the deep sea adventure finds you exploring a variety of levels using ink weapons to solve puzzles and blow enemies away, all set to some seriously funky beats. When you swap over to multiplayer, however, that's when things get really interesting. Use weapons like paint rollers, huge brushes, and paint-splattering guns to cover as much of each arena with your team's ink colors as possible and splat anyone else who gets in your way. You can pick up Splatoon 3 for $41 at Amazon and for $41.99 at the My Nintendo Store.
