Nintendo cuts prices on Switch games and accessories after tariff refund
Nintendo has launched a wide-ranging discount sale after receiving a tariff-related refund from the US government, running through September 26 across major retailers.
Nintendo has kicked off a broad sale it's calling its "Customer Appreciation" promotion, discounting Switch games and accessories after receiving a refund tied to import tariffs from the US government. The deals are live at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Nintendo's own digital storefront, running through September 26 at 8:59 PM PT.
Because Nintendo products rarely see steep markdowns, the sale stands out — particularly given how early it's arriving ahead of the holiday shopping season. The discounts cover many top-selling original Switch titles along with a handful of Switch 2 editions.
Notable deals
Among the highlighted offers is the digital bundle of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with its Booster Course Pass for just under $60. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is priced at $49, while Animal Crossing: New Horizons with its DLC is available for $60.
Switch 2 Editions themselves aren't discounted, but upgrade packs remain affordable — $9.99 for the Tears of the Kingdom upgrade and $4.99 for the Animal Crossing: New Horizons upgrade.
Other discounted titles include Metroid Prime 4, Super Mario Odyssey, and Splatoon 3, alongside accessories such as the Switch Pro Controller and the Nintendo Alarmo clock.
