Demon Turf: Neon Splash (Switch eShop)
£3.49 (-30%)
Demon Turf: Neon Splash is a much better game than its predecessor thanks to the complete removal of the underwhelming combat. Not only that, but the experience feels more focused and streamlined without the requirement of a hub world or mandatory collectibles. This is Demon Turf at its best, and we sincerely hope to see more of the same in a true sequel later down the line.
Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition (Switch)
£5.99 (-80%)
Despite its ‘Definitive Edition’ moniker, the vast majority of what you get in the Switch version of Rayman Legends has been seen in every other edition. The only truly new features here are a complete character roster for the first time and a tournament mode for its football mini-game. That’s not to say it's a bad game, though; that couldn’t be further from the truth. Rayman Legends is one of the best plumber-free platformers ever made, and its budget price means if you haven’t played it before, the Switch version is the perfect opportunity to jump in.

Invisible, Inc. Nintendo Switch Edition (Switch eShop)
£4.49 (-75%)
Invisible, Inc. is a brilliant little tactics game, right up there with Into the Breach and XCOM – if not even better. The bite-sized structure belies a deceptively complex and meaningful game, where all your decisions ultimately mean something significant for that final desperate attack. If you enjoy stealth or tactics games – or you're simply looking for a way into either genre – then Invisible, Inc. deserves your attention.
Horace (Switch eShop)
£4.39 (-60%)
Horace is something very special — the only vaguely negative thing we can say about it is the fact that there are so many spectacularly brilliant indie games on Switch already vying for your attention that we fear Horace may fall somewhat by the wayside. If you have any interest in superb level design, excellent storytelling, terrific art, evocative music, great characters, hilarious situations and emotional gut punches, Horace is a no-brainer. It's moving without being manipulative, clever without being smug, and nostalgic without being a lazy rehash. It's a platformer, but it's so much more than that.
So yes, Horace is another indie masterpiece, and every gamer who enjoys quality experiences should play it; a masterpiece that owes so much to its medium, but has the strength, creativity and identity to stand alone as something very, very special. Buy this.
The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe (Switch eShop)
£9.99 (-50%)
A thoroughly enjoyable expansion of an already classic game treated with love, care, and most importantly a meta awareness that pays tribute to everything that made the original so beloved. The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe may leave a small few questioning more than they’d like, but we wouldn’t want it any other way.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch)
£33.29 (-33%)
Animal Crossing: New Horizons improved upon every single facet of the series imaginable. There's more to do, more to see, more to change, more to mould, and more to love; fans and first-time players can find themselves losing hours at a time gathering materials, creating new furniture, and making their island undeniably theirs. Every moment is unashamedly blissful, with excellently written characters that truly feel alive and an island paradise that gives back infinitely more than you put in. Back when Animal Crossing: New Leaf hit the shelves all those years ago and created a whole new generation of fans, many people were wondering how Nintendo could possibly top it, but here we got our answer. This is a masterpiece that's worth buying a Switch (or two) to play.

Streets of Rage 4 (Switch eShop)
£11.24 (-50%)
Streets of Rage 4 is the very best the series has ever been. Its hand-drawn graphics breathe new life into Wood Oak City and its inhabitants, the soundtrack is outstanding, and the combat feels better than ever. Lizardcube, Guard Crush Games, and Dotemu managed to completely modernise the look and feel of Streets of Rage, expanding on the experience without losing sight of what made the original games so popular to begin with – and the handful of additions made to the action here serve only to enhance the classic core gameplay, resulting in one of the best side-scrolling beat 'em ups we've played in a long time.
And the Mr X Nightmare DLC is pretty tasty, too. A truly fantastic brawler.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge (Switch eShop)
£15.06 (-33%)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is the best Turtles beat 'em up ever made, and a faster, better-looking, and arguably more entertaining affair than even Streets of Rage 4. It looks delicious, sounds superb, and rekindles childhood memories beyond all expectation, time-warping you back to 1987. Its combat system is so much fun to mine that you feel compelled to keep coming back to try new strategies, and with its awesome co-op multiplayer, the experience evolves again and again. Like any beat 'em up, it does get repetitive as you enter the last third, but that’s more a fault of the concept than the game. Shredder’s Revenge really is an unprecedented shell-ebration.
Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key (Switch)
£32.49 (-35%)
Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key ends Ryza's three-game run on a high note, serving up a heady mix of exploration, crafting, and combat that benefits greatly from a narrative arc that's had time to develop and grow. The new key mechanics add more depth to combat, synthesis, and exploration, the world is more seamless and diverse than ever before and the whole thing comes together to form a satisfying end for this hugely popular protagonist. We did have some issues with small text, no English dub, and a little fussiness in how information is relayed, but overall this is Gust's finest adventure to date and a JRPG experience that long-term fans and newcomers alike will find plenty to delight in.
Alwa's Legacy (Switch eShop)
£6.07 (-55%)
Alwa’s Legacy is an excellent example of how to do a proper sequel; it takes everything that Alwa's Awakening did well and builds on it, adds in a few new ideas of its own, and corrects the issues that were previously present. It may be a little on the short side, but Alwa’s Legacy is the special sort of game that only comes around once in a great while, reminding you of the kind of quality that’s possible when a dedicated crew puts in the time to make a polished and tightly designed final product.
Metro Redux (Switch)
£3.59 (-85%)
Metro Redux is a top-notch first-person survival horror package that delivers countless hours of thrilling stealth combat all wrapped up in a superb story. These are two of the most atmospheric games you'll likely play set in a beautifully detailed depiction of post-apocalyptic Russia. 4A Games has delivered a port that stands shoulder to shoulder with Alien: Isolation as the very best we've seen on Switch so far – an almost flawless experience which should absolutely be right at the top of any FPS or survival horror fan's must-buy list. This is essential stuff.

Pentiment for me for that price. I don't know much about it but I've heard that's the best way to experience it anyway.
well how much are they on sale in U.S. dollars though? Im an American in the U.S. and I don't go by British pound or whatever.
yeah Nintendolife is a UK/British videogame website but come on. Nintendolife staff needs to be considerate where Americans come to this dang website too
@XandertheWise Have you missed the part where they said Europe in the title? They also had plenty of similar articles aimed at America specifically.
@XandertheWise It's specifically said in the article that this sale is in Europe, so they probably didn't put prices in dollars because some of these same games are likely not on sale in the US. Not everything revolves around your country.
@XandertheWise it's a European sale. When it's an American sale they usually post the prices in dollars.
@XandertheWise I assume they have people from all over the world that view the site making pricing guides a slippery slope on what currency to include or not include. In fairness to them ive seen them include articles from time to time based on sales in the USA. If they include us dollars do they have to include Canadian dollars also. So I side with NL in this case
It's a European eshop sale not a US sale. Why would they list it in dollars you can't even pay in dollars for them.youd have ron convert into a European currency Be nice if they listed the Ruro prices as well as pounds though.
Did you use the word "dang" to prove that you are American?
@XandertheWise Xander the not so wise.
I got Mark of the Ninja Remaster for that price during the last sale, but didn't get to play it yet. And it's likely to remain in the backlog till the next couple of sales
And ... there is never enough of Bayonetta 3 ... and for that price!
Hope this sale comes to the US. Thinking I might pick up Pentiment on Switch even though I have it via GamePass. Definitely is a great fit for a mobile device.
Pentiment and Prince of Persia are totally worthy at that price! Go for them, guys!
@Roibeard64 well Im not the only American that comes to the Nintendolife website. Other Americans besides me probably do get fed up with the UK/British pound sale for Nintendo eShop announcements.
Would be nice if the site would also include the American dollar sale too for us U.S. folk
@awp69 exactly. I hope the same sale is included for us U.S. folk.
Some of Americans do come to the dang Nintendolife website and its companion sites push square etc. yet we have to deal.get used to the UK folk being the first ones to get the sales before we do
@XandertheWise https://www.nintendolife.com/tags/sales
All coverage for sales, including those in the U.S., can be found there. Now please stop embarrassing us.
@Nontendo_4DS lololol. Yeah man. Not to mention the answers are just a Google away.
Including the price in US dollars would be silly. But since these articles are about European sales, and most of the European countries use the Euro, I'd say it would be the minimum to include the price in Euros, and yet Nintendo Life never does.
I wish I could take advantage of the Atelier Ryza 3 sale, the first 2 gane were just enjoyable comfy gaming. But I just cannot read the tiny subtitle text on the third game in handheld mode (which is the only way I use the Switch).
@XandertheWise it's for the European sales, you want dollars go see the North American sales articles on the site. They are separate eshops with separate sales and separate accepted currencies how are you not grasping that basic fact.
@FreasurePlanten yeah I don't know what Nintendolife has against listing Euro prices like you do get Eurozone readers like myself that would love to not have to open the eshop to see extactly what it's going for here.
I know reviews are subjective, but there appears to be a pretty big difference between the NL review scores and the user ratings on some of these.
The Atelier games really went on sale in only parts of Europe. Wtf. The rest of us only get discount on the remake.
I was hoping for a better sale, not many of my wish list have a discount, so then my interest is piqued for the following:
1. Pentiment
2. Tails of Iron
3. The Stanley Parable
1 & 2 would make a nice medieval double header, whereas 3 has a bit of a Half Life vibe (it being based on a mod).
Decisions, decisions....I was going to buy the Jeff Minter collection, but that might need to wait, so which should I buy from the above or are there any other unmissables?
I realised yesterday that my switch had fallen out of my bag after playing pocket card jockey on the plane to Portugal. 😭 I'm praying Jet2 found it. Luckily I left most of my game cards at home but did have 6 heavy hitters in the carry case 😢😢😢
Already have everything I want from this list, but just stopped in to say how crazy it was for Mario Strikers to get a 9!
@cra1g0s Pentiment was my GOTY on Xbox when it came out. Absolutely loved it, amazing game.
(Having said that, I'm also really enjoying the Jeff Minter collection at the moment too, so...)
@Alex79uk The Jeff Minter collection for me, would bring back a lot of memories, not just of games like Revenge of the Mutant Camels and others, but that whole era of PET computers, followed by the Vic-20 and C64...yeah, I'm that old!
I'm going to think about Pentiment, I like to have games that are a bit unique and this certainly appears to be.
@cra1g0s There are more than a few games on the Minter collection that you'll play for a couple of minutes just to see what they're like. Realistically there are probably 7 or 8 that you'll put any time in to (although your milage may vary, of course) but those games are brilliant and the accompanying interactive documentary is really nicely done. I'm definitely pleased with the package.
Trust an American to want American dollar prices in an European shop sale 😅
Just wait for the US eshop sale - the big sales are always mirrored there.
@SuperRetroArt
I like that was a good one lol that’s funny 😆 Im from Russia but I have lived in America since I was 2
and I’ve used the word dang now so many times 😂
So much absolutely amazing titles!
As much as I love me some sales, a 65 game list spread over 6 pages doesn't help me to narrow my focus very much, does it?
For most of these I bought them physical. I prefer physical over digital anyday.
