Mario Day is upon us, and with Nintendo celebrating their plumbing mascot’s 35th Anniversary this year we’ve spotted some excellent Mario Day deals to keep everyone in the game for less. Not only are we seeing some excellent Nintendo Switch sales on games and accessories, but there are also a range of special edition consoles up for grabs right now as well.
You’ll find the Mario Red and Blue Nintendo Switch in stock right now, but this special edition console is likely to be the headline act today, so there’s going to be some considerable competition to get your hands on it. Best Buy currently has it listed for its $299.99 MSRP. That’s an excellent turn of events seeing as this recently released special edition flew off the shelves at launch earlier this year and hasn’t made a return since.
Once your console is in the bag, then, you can check out some of the latest Mario Day Nintendo Switch game deals. Of course, the star of the show is the plumber himself so Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Maker 2, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, and Super Mario Party are all down to $38.88 (was $59.99) at Walmart right now. However, you’ll also find the likes of The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate seeing $10 discounts this week as well.
When it comes to peripherals, we’re spotting some record low prices on the Pro Controller (was $69.99 now $59) in these Mario Day Nintendo Switch deals, as well as $10 off a range of Joy-Con controllers, and an excellent $84.38 sales price on Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit (was $99.99).
There’s plenty more where those came from, though, and we’re rounding up all the best Mario Day Nintendo Switch deals just below.
