Think Nintendo games never go on sale? The gaming giant just slashed the price of hits like Mario Odyssey

Nintendo has a bit of a reputation for keeping its game prices high and rarely offering discounts, especially when it comes to its biggest franchises. There was a time when a discount on the likes of Super Mario Odyssey would have been simply unheard of, but luckily things have changed.

Recently, the gaming giant has been a bit more generous with its savings, offering decent discounts on entries in some of its largest franchises. Case in point: you can buy digital first-party Switch and Switch 2 games at a wide range of discounts at Amazon right now.
