Nintendo’s Play Together Sale is live now through August 11, and you can snag many of the digital Switch game deals at Best Buy. The benefit to buying digital Switch games from major retailers like Best Buy is that you’ll still get full Gold Points based on original price of the game rather than its discounted price, and you can use them to score more discounts and other goodies on the eShop. In case Best Buy does run out of codes, you can still find the same discounts on the eShop. The Play Together Sale features a number of first-party exclusives for 33% off, including a trio of Mario sports games. You can also save on rarely discounted games like Clubhouse Games and Disney Illusion Island.
If you like sports, the Switch games starring Mario are a ton of fun and put some neat twists on those activities. Mario Strikers: Battle League is an action-packed version of soccer with Mario gameplay mechanics added to the mix; Mario Tennis Aces serves up a fast-paced and approachable spin on the sport; and Mario Golf: Super Rush turns a relaxing sport into chaotic arcade fun filled with mayhem and surprises. All three games are on sale for $40 each.
The Mario sports games aren’t the only exclusives up for grabs for big discounts. You can also save on the Wii Sports successor Nintendo Switch Sports, the chaotic micro-game collection WarioWare: Get it Together, and the breezy and colorful platformer Kirby Star Allies. If you’re a Zelda fan, you can take advantage of a rare discount Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition.
On the third-party side, the very deluxe edition of Dragon Ball FighterZ is a great deal on one of the best games in that anime and manga franchise. You get a ton of extra content and a great game, for less than $15. You can also find deals on gems such as Disney Illusion Island, a gorgeous Switch-exclusive metroidvania that released last year.
