Nintendo's Customer Appreciation Sale: Best Deals on Games and Hardware

Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.

It’s not altruism or a marketing strategy: Nintendo was given $300 million in government tariff refunds, and they’re now using that as an excuse to kick off a “Customer Appreciation Sale.” The sale runs through Sept. 26, and it is available on the Nintendo eShop, Nintendo Store, and at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. You can find Nintendo Switch digital games and bundles, select physical games, downloadable content, accessories, and apparel at up to 30% off.

If you’re looking for Nintendo Switch 2 games or hardware, you won’t find much of anything, though you can score some accessory deals. Unsurprisingly, you’ll save the most in this sale by buying first-party Nintendo games.

Best Hardware Deals

The Nintendo Pro Controller is the best first-party remote for the Nintendo Switch, and it works for the Switch 2 as well. The newer Pro Controller 2 ($90, not on sale) has been selling out quickly, but the Pro Controller is compatible with the new system, and it’s much cheaper - currently $55.99 (originally $79.99).
