Several Mario Games Are Now On Sale On The Switch eShop For MAR10 Day (UK)

33% off? Whoever would have guessed?

Weird lack of Mario vs donkey kong. Really strange. It seems like THE time to put it on sale for many different reasons.

They could have at least given 40% off for the 40th no?

I recall Mario Wonder being really scant on getting any sales one year after launch. Seems that trend continues.

Always the same discount, so we just ever rely on inflation to make each subsequent deal feel incrementally a bit better each time 🤣

There are some games from Nintendo I would buy at £15-20 if it was on budget range but not going to ever bother at £66, £50 or even £33.

But it's not MAR10 day in the UK because we use the proper DDMMYY international calendar standard.

Looks at least better than the lame US sale. That sale is so bad Charles Martinet is rolling over in his grave... and he's not even dead yet. 🤑

@JohnnyMind you can probably buy them for less on Amazon. Maybe not right now, but in general.
I remember seeing Mario RPG for about 30€ multiple times.

1. Gamers complain Nintendo games are never on sale.

2. Nintendo put a number of games on sale. 33% off!

3. Gamers complain Nintendo games are never enough on sale...

@RadioHedgeFund Whilst you are correct about the DDMMYY standard, we do still say "March 10th".

Good games. Got them all. Amazing if you haven’t purchased them yet.
Super Mario 3d world is almost 13 years old.

It's not worth complaining but pretty much all of these games have been £40 at retailers for the past couple of months. I'd rather pay £7 more for a physical copy. Mario RPG was only £25 at Amazon.

Already own all of these except the Switch 2 version of Jamboree which I'm not interested in. Though bares noting that sometimes other retailers have different digital sales from what the eShop does, offhand that's how I got Luigi's Mansion 2 this time last year.

@Broch83

Its because when someone complains about "Nintendo never putting on sales!", what they really are complaining about is Nintendo not selling their games for $5 because a year has passed. They want to buy the game at an arbitrarily low price, and get really angry that Nintendo's answer is "No, we're fine with you not buying it."

@Kiz3000 No, we say "10th of March". "March 10th" is the American vernacular sneaking it's way in.

Please... just once, put Mario Golf: Super Rush on sale. It's sitting at 70 on metacritic. There is no way it sold that well. Just do it Nintendo. Please.

@RainbowGazelle I would say we do both. We did used to do the dates the same way as America, before about the Victorian times.

Written down its definitely DDMMYY but in speech its fine to do either.
