Some of the Best First-Party Nintendo Games Are Still on Sale Until Prime Day Ends Tonight

Prime Day 2025 ends tonight, and Lifehacker is sharing the best sales based on product reviews, comparisons, and price-tracking tools before it’s over. 

Sales on first-party Nintendo games are rare, but if you’re OK with spending about $40 per game this Prime Day, you can get recent releases from some of the company’s biggest franchises, including Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Pokémon.

Twenty-eight percent or so might sound like a modest discount, but in Nintendo bucks, it’s a king’s ransom. And the selection is pretty solid, too. No, there aren’t any Nintendo Switch 2 games on sale yet, but if you’re still on the original Nintendo Switch, there’s enough here to give you hours of fun. (alternately, you can take advantage of the Switch 2’s release to also get an original Switch on the cheap right now, then use these game deals to beef up your library.)

Switch 1 mainstays like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyssey stand out as must-haves here, but personally, I’m impressed to see more recent games like The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom already getting marked down. Whether you like platformers, party games, or RPGs, there’s something to appeal to you here. And yes, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is on sale, too.

The only catch? A good chunk of these sales are on Woot!. Woot! is an Amazon subsidiary, so you don’t have to worry about getting scammed, but stock often tends to move faster there than on its bigger brother. It’s a race to the flagpole, folks.

Looking for something else? Retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Home Depot have Prime Day competition sales that are especially useful if you don’t have Amazon Prime.

• Walmart’s Prime Day competition sale begins at midnight on July 8 and will include deals up to 50% off. It’s an especially good option if you have Walmart+. 

• Best Buy’s Prime Day competition sale, “Black Friday in July,” runs through Sunday, July 13 and has some of the best tech sales online. It’s an especially good option if you’re a My Best Buy “Plus” or “Total” member.
