Save up to $45: Shop the Nintendo eShop's Blockbuster Sale through Oct. 3 at 11:59 p.m. PT and save on digital games, software bundles, and DLCs.


Folks, we got some big news at yesterday's Nintendo Direct. Standing out among the announcements was the Nintendo Switch Online update (!), the long-waited Animal Crossing update (!!), and the news that Chris Pratt is playing the titular role the Super Mario movie (???).

But if you thought that's where the news stops, think again. As of Sept. 24, the Nintendo eShop is holding one of its rare sales, with tons of digital titles for the Switch, including software bundles and DLCs, discounted up to 60% off.
