The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (Switch)
Sale Price: £20.45 (38% off)
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is two brilliant games for the price of one, and it not only gives us more of what we love, but gives us something that is visually, narratively, and historically deeper than ever before. There's a bit of a learning curve that you'll have to get on top of to meet the game where it's at, but honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better version of the game we've been wanting for years.

OlliOlli World (Switch eShop)
Sale Price: £19.99 (20% off)
OlliOlli World takes Roll7's refined 2D skateboarding concept to cosmic heights. Tight and challenging gameplay, a high skill ceiling, dozens of hours of content, and a remarkably stylish sense of presentation combine to make this a release you absolutely don’t want to miss. It's an easy recommendation to pretty much any Switch owner, especially those who are easily roped in by score-chasing releases or super hard platforming, OlliOlli World is a shining example of the distinct kind of innovation and quality that can come from inspired indie game studios.
Okami HD (Switch eShop)
Sale Price: £7.99 (50% off)
Okami HD is an utterly fantastic piece of software, and we feel you’d be doing yourself a disservice to pass on it. It's a 40-hour adventure that emulates Zelda wonderfully, adds in plenty of memorable mechanics, features one of the most beautiful art styles in gaming, and is completely playable on the go, to boot. It may be showing its age a bit visually and its combat is sometimes a little on the easy side, but Okami is an important, fun, and notable landmark in gaming history — and one of the easiest recommendations we can make for your Switch library.
ISLANDERS Console Edition (Switch eShop)
Sale Price: £3.55 (21% off)
Islanders is an elucidation of how games build meaning from abstract systems. However, more than that elucidation, Islanders gave us the time to ponder. It’s a repetitive, extended, calming experience that uses just enough power of just narrow enough a collection of faculties to induce a half-aware presence in reality. Which is when you think up all the dumbest questions: could it be that contemplating the meaning of life is the meaning of life? Woah.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 (Switch)
Sale Price: £21.99 (45% off)
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 on Nintendo Switch is a rock solid port of a pair of genuinely fantastic remakes. These really are two of the very best arcade sports titles of all time, revamped, reworked and re-imagined for modern audiences with all the graphical bells and whistles, collectibles and game modes we've come to expect in this day and age. With flawless performance in both docked and handheld modes and visuals that still look the part after a few necessary concessions here and there, this is one collection we highly recommend you kickflip right into.
Castlevania Advance Collection (Switch eShop)
Sale Price: £11.19 (30% off)
It’s mostly the sublime Aria of Sorrow that’s doing the heavy lifting with Castlevania Advance Collection; it really is one of the best entries in the entire Castlevania series. Circle of the Moon and Harmony of Dissonance are alright but on a lower tier, while Dracula X is middling even on its own standards. These are still very much worth playing, though, and this collection makes for an essential purchase for both longtime Castlevania fans and newbies.
GRIS (Switch eShop)
Sale Price: £3.62 (75% off)
We’re very careful when we use this word, but Gris is a masterpiece. Its jaw-dropping visual style and heart-wrenching score combine for one of the most emotional pieces of interactive art you’ll ever play. It may be too short for some, its puzzles may be on the simple side and the lack of any real challenge may not be to everyone’s taste, but this is a game focused more on fragility than ability and as long as you’re willing to go along for the ride, it’s one that will stick with you for a very long time indeed.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition (Switch)
Sale Price: £24.99 (50% off)
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remains a masterpiece, and being able to take such a grand and engrossing adventure on-the-go is something well worth celebrating. The Switch's Complete Edition is a truly impressive achievement, and although performance isn't perfect, it's still an incredible and impactful role-playing experience. The Witcher 3 set the bar for modern RPGs back in 2015, and this port is a startling reminder that it has yet to be bettered.
Planet Alpha (Switch eShop)
Sale Price: £3.19 (80% off)
It’s impossible to not be caught up in the puzzle platforming charms of Planet Alpha. The product of one man and a small indie team from Denmark, it’s a game that runs remarkably smoothly considering the detail of its environments and the vibrancy of its art style. The platforming won’t necessarily blow you away - especially if you’ve become trained in the twitch arts of Hollow Knight and the like - but with some brilliant puzzles, a rewarding balance between endangered stealth and peaceful exploration, and some of the most intense set-pieces we’ve ever played on Switch, Planet Alpha has secured a place as one of the console's best indie releases and it deserves your attention if it passed you by.
Katana ZERO (Switch eShop)
Sale Price: £8.09 (40% off)
Katana Zero is unmistakably a game that you need to add to your Switch collection. The tough, hair-raising action sequences, gripping narrative, and impeccable sense of style elevate Katana Zero high above many of its peers, cementing it as a modern classic that sets new standards for what a side scrolling action game can be. This is the kind of game that you’ll blindly play through once and soon find yourself wishing you could have that first-time experience again; there’s nothing else quite like it on the eShop and we can’t recommend it enough.
Into The Breach (Switch eShop)
Sale Price: £5.69 (50% off)
Into The Breach is a brutal, uncompromising game of making hard decisions and living with your mistakes, but the short length of battles and endless variety of playthroughs makes for an extremely addictive experience. Though the graphics are nothing special, the gameplay is some of the very best you’ll find in the strategy genre on Switch, and we can easily recommend this to anybody who’s looking for an in-depth game that’ll make you think. Into The Breach feels right at home on the Switch, and whether you play more at home or on the go, you’re more than likely to get plenty of value out of this release.
Metro 2033 Redux (Switch eShop)
Sale Price: £6.74 (70% off)
Metro 2033 Redux is a top-class first-person shooter/survival horror game, a breathless experience that's been almost flawlessly ported to Switch by 4A Games. Artyom's desperate, haunting voyage through the irradiated remains of Moscow is every bit as engaging today as it was when it first released back in 2010, and this Redux version benefits massively from overhauled AI, gameplay mechanics and visuals. In terms of first-person shooters or survival horror games on Nintendo's console, this is one of the very best.
Mega Man Legacy Collection (Switch eShop)
Sale Price: £8.03 (33% off)
Digital Eclipse did a great job with all the details in Mega Man Legacy Collection, presenting the original games in their best possible light, while tossing in a handful of extra features and challenges on top to sweeten the deal. The rewind feature is a welcome inclusion that helps to mitigate the difficulty of some of the games, and the overall quality of the series difficult to dispute. We would highly recommend you pick this one up — all the included extra features coupled with the ability to play these games both at home and on the go make it a no-brainer.
Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle (Switch eShop)
Sale Price: £7.99 (50% off)
The Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle illustrates perfectly why the humble side-scrolling fighter was the toast of video gaming in the late '80s and early '90s. Addictive, enjoyable and – perhaps most important of all – bloody good fun when played co-operatively with friends, all of the titles in this seven-strong compendium are worth your time, and by adding robust local and multiplayer support, Capcom has done its utmost to ensure they find favour with a whole new generation of gamers. If you're not a fan of the genre then you may well be wondering what all the fuss is about, but for everyone else, this is a must-have download.
SEGA AGES Out Run (Switch eShop)
Sale Price: £2.99 (50% off)
If you originally missed out on the 3DS port, this is about as essential a retro release as you can get. Out Run has always been an infinitely playable game, and the new unlockables and online rankings only increase its longevity further. Those with the 3DS version will have to decide whether it’s worth buying what’s more or less the same game again in order to play it on their TV, but for everyone else with an interest in retro gaming, it’s a must-have.
FAR: Lone Sails (Switch eShop)
Sale Price: £6.74 (50% off)
Without saying a word, FAR: Lone Sails conveys a poignant tale of hope and perseverance, masterfully balancing style with substance for an experience that feels every bit as sublime as it looks. Sure, you could grumble about the its relative shortness, the occasionally obtuse puzzles and the very, very minor control issues, but these problems dissolve away once you're invested in the journey. We highly recommend that you give this a spin.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD (Switch)
Sale Price: £33.29 (33% off)
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD introduces a raft of technical improvements and quality of life updates that reinvigorate and revitalise this ten-year-old game. With motion controls more precise than ever before, an alternate button control scheme that totally works, crisp HD graphics, smooth 60fps gameplay and a bothersome sidekick who's been streamlined into something altogether more useful, this really does feel like Skyward Sword as it was meant to be experienced. Yes, the locking off of instant travel behind the official amiibo is a misstep, but beyond this one issue what's here is a sublime experience, a technical triumph and an absolute must-play for Switch owners and Zelda fans.
Comments 44
I am genuinely tempted to pick up Skyward Sword HD from this, €40 for an insane enhancement of the original game sounds almost too good to be true. Now it's just the matter of do I get it physically to save on space but it's more expensive or do I get it digitally with it's chunky file size of 7.5 GB. Decisions, decisions....
The sale prices would have been helpful, as that will almost always be a major factor in deciding to buy during a sale.
What would their sales be if they did it for NA at the same time?
@Fizza I would say just do it
For me the game is amazing, i have between 70 and 80 hours in the game and i liked every single second i've spend in the game
This is the first sale for Bayonetta and I'm seriously considering buying it. Except I'm not sure I like the genre, since I prefer JRPGs and interactive stories. But I like some chaotic storytelling.
Scott Pilgrim for less than £4 is a bargain
Tells people games to buy on the eShop, makes sure every game has their Amazon links and none of the prices for the eShop versions prices listed. (giggles internally)
I am really disappointed that the Famicom Detective Club isn't on sale as I would have thought it would have been on sale by now.
I've got 39 of those 83 games.
Will definitely finally pick up Bayo 1 + 2
Edit: I don't get why the two Xenoblade games aren't at sale considering XC3 releases in 3 months. Pretty sure the announcement of XC3 got some people interested in the series
Guess now's my chance to pick up Rain World (currently 50% off). Both its atmosphere and challenge seems almost too good to resist.
We've added the sale price and % discount for each entry, plus another couple of games that slipped through the net.
I got bioshock collection from cd keys for £10.99 just a few days ago bargain at that price plus it’s cheaper than the eshop
The messenger should be £7.19 surely
Alien Isolation is back at its lowest ever price, I think i'll be getting it!
Ahh was hoping for Diablo 2.
I am currently playing Diablo 1 with the DevilutionX Port, what a great Port.
The Game looks really great through my Laptop on the TV and the Controller Support is great.
Even better, Save Games can be easily send to my Phone, RG351V or other PC.
I wish What The Golf? were on sale for just £0.79! The sale price is actually £10.79 (40% of £17.99).
Outrun and Downwell are pretty much essential at those prices
Never even considered the Ruined King until I saw it on the list here and read your review. Off to buy it now. Love me some quality RPGs.
The Messenger is wrongly priced, it's £7.19 not £17.99
Rogue Aces at just shy of two quid is an absolute bargain. Gamers of a certain age who liked Jetstrike on the Amiga/PC back in the day will certainly enjoy it.
Recommending anything with only 10% off is foolish.
Also Narita Boy is on sale. Get it!
Gris for £3.62 is a good shout!
"Catherine: Full Body is a fantastic revamp of a bonafide cult classic. With an excellent new character and several new endings slickly inserted into an already highly entertaining narrative – not to mention a slew of fun new modes – this is the definitive version of an outstanding game. If you've never played Catherine before then you're in for an absolute treat, and if you have, we'd say there's enough new content here to make it worth diving in all over again."
This tells me nothing about the genre of the game or how it plays.
Catherine and Dusk for me
Sure, I totally have over 1000 pounds lying around doing nothing, so I totally should buy 85 games that are on sale.
YS VIII is simply extraordinary, in my opinion, and is a complete steal at that price. It was the first new entry into my all time top 10 for over a decade! A wondrous action RPG with great characters, an intriguing story, addictive combat, and a gorgeous setting.
@inenai You don't have any of these already? Bruh... do you even Switch?
On the fence for that street fighter collection
From this list, my top picks would be Iconoclasts, ABZU, Witcher 3, and Monster Hunter GU. All great games and, besides ABZU, they'll all give you way more than your money's worth in play time. Don't know about in Europe, but in the US Doom 2016/Eternal are $20 each for another day or two and Monster Hunter Rise is $30. Dragon's Dogma is also $15, which I think it's been before, but it's still an absolute steal.
@Fizza Love that game. Probably still my favorite Zelda overall and definitely my favorite for the story and music.
Old games on sale and overpriced. This is like when the wii was popular and companies tried to sell overpriced junk to the wii user base. Soon people are going to realise they are buying decade old games that perform badly and paying top dollar for it.
Outside of telltales games from years ago and dangonrompa 2 I haven't played any visual novels. I think I should change that. Help me interest, which one on sale should I buy? I was thinking phoenix wright or ai but I'm open to suggestions.
Other than that there's doesn't seem to be a while load for for me. I was thinking mystery dungeon but it's still a bit expensive (and knowing my luck Nintendo would afterwards announce the Gameboy expansion with the gam win it...). Was hoping for xenoblades or cadence of hyrule but they're a no show.
Gonna give the dragon quest XI demo a go and if so, cash in. If not, Disco Eylsium.
Dammit, I still have so many games to play from previous sales.
EDIT: Do NOT buy House in Fata Morgana! Even by visual novel standards, it's garbage!
Out Run is a must have for any Switch owner.
Street Fighter also if you have access to a d-pad.
I was really hoping for Diablo II on sale. 😮💨
Anyone else having problems loading up this page on their phone?
I bought Evergate recently on Xbox Series X and it was a lovely game but admittedly it made me sad due to the nature of it and at one point I came close to crying because it made me think of my dad who passed away from Cancer in 2015.
@sirmrguitardude overpriced is subjective plus, why are you here if you don't like Nintendo?
Picked up Senran Kagura: Peach Ball
...you know why.
@Fizza personally I prefer physical because you can sell the game later. I only buy digital games for online only titles that have no second hand value or for crazy discounts.
Dragon Quest XI S, Okami, Skyward Sword HD, all worth getting if you haven't picked em up already. (Also happen to be high in the list of most played games on my Switch alongside Pure Pool and BOTW)....
@NinjaNicky I'm here because I own a switch and was looking for a good deal. I saw none and left a comment. Weird I have to explain that.
@Fizza Do you have any idea when the US spring sale will start?
@Gwynbleidd Okami is gold. Much like Wind Waker it’s not about difficulty levels it’s about a game taking you on an amazing journey and you seeing the conclusion.
Great article but now I am thinking how do I avoid dipping. I have a backlog and plenty of good games I haven't got near in a while and yet there are loads on this list screaming 'buy me, but me'!
May dip into a couple around the fiver mark and get round to them.... eventually
Heads up for anyone buying Mario + Rabbids, make sure you get the gold edition as it is better.
