Mario Day is here, and with Mar10 comes plenty of Nintendo Switch deals to save you cash while you stock up your library, grab those controllers you’ve been eyeing up, or simply splash out on a new Lego set. Not only are we seeing Mario Day deals spread across a massive range of games and peripherals today, though, but you’ll also find stock of rare special edition consoles up for grabs as well.
Perhaps the best Mario Day deal isn’t exactly a deal at all. In fact, it’s just the fact that this Mario Red & Blue Nintendo Switch is even on the shelves at all. Stock on any Nintendo Switch console has been particularly rare over the last few weeks, but Best Buy currently has this 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.
Or, grab an Animal Crossing special edition for the same $299.99 MSRP. Of course, the traditional Neon Red & Blue and Gray consoles are also on the shelves right now as well.
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.
