We combed through the chaotic mess that is the Switch eShop to put together a list of the best cheap games under $5 on Switch. If you’ve spent any time browsing the eShop, you probably know that it’s not the most user friendly, so hopefully this list will help you find some gems that are up for grabs for less than the price of a cup of coffee.

Some of these games are under-the-radar gems, while others are ports of notable classic titles. Whether you’re looking for a hilarious side-scroller or a fun football sim, here are the best cheap Switch games under five bucks.
