Nintendo's 'Customer Appreciation Sale' is currently underway in the United States, featuring discounts of up to 30% on a variety of Nintendo Switch games, accessories, amiibo, and merchandise. This sale is being partly funded by tariff-related refunds that Nintendo received.
Among the notable game discounts is Metroid Dread, available for $41.97, following the recent announcement of its sequel, Metroid Ravenous. Resident Evil Requiem for Nintendo Switch 2 is also on sale for $49.99, marking its lowest price to date for a physical copy. Additionally, discounts can be found on the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera, priced at $37.99, and various amiibo, including the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond collection, starting at $20.97 each.
To maximize savings, purchasing discounted Nintendo eShop gift cards from retailers like Amazon, Costco, or Newegg before buying digital games is recommended. For instance, $10 eShop gift cards are available for $8.98 at Amazon.
Further game deals within the sale include Metroid Prime Remastered for $27.97 and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for $41.99. Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 is priced at $48.97, Super Mario Bros. Wonder at $41.97, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at $48.97. While these digital titles can be played on the Nintendo Switch 2, an upgrade pack may be required for full functionality on the new console.
For those looking at the Nintendo Switch 2 console itself, a bundle including the console and Super Mario Galaxy 1&2 is available at Walmart for $519. The Switch 2 console has a standard price of $499.99, meaning this bundle offers savings of around $70 compared to purchasing separately. Other Switch 2-related deals include Resident Evil Requiem for $49.99 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, with a physical copy available for $59.88 at Amazon and potentially $49.88 at Walmart with a promo code. Preorders for Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave are also seeing a $10 discount at Amazon.
Memory card deals for the Switch 2 are also part of the sale. The Onn 512GB MicroSD Express Memory Card is priced at $84.77, and the 256GB model is $46.77, with free shipping on both. An additional unadvertised $10 off coupon code, SAVE3X, can be applied, reducing the 512GB card to $74.77 and the 256GB card to $36.77.
Other sale items include discounts on amiibo, Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Controllers for $62.97 (currently sold out at Nintendo but available at Walmart), and the Nintendo Sound Clock 'Alarmo'.
Nintendo stated that the sale is partly made possible by tariff-related refunds. This comes after the company previously raised prices on some products globally, citing increased costs for components, labor, and shipping. Nintendo had previously argued that consumers were not entitled to refunds for purchases made at higher prices after tariffs were ruled illegal, stating that customers had received what they paid for.
