Acclaimed 3rd party titles receive big discounts before Black Friday begins <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

With just over a week to go until Black Friday, sales are coming in fast for Nintendo Switch. Currys<\/a> have been offering bundles since last week, Aldi<\/a> are planning on big discounts come November 27th and it’s rumoured that Tesco<\/a> will bring a significant price drop too. <\/p>\n

But on the digital side of things, existing Switch owners can find that a new raft of deals have gone live today. With over 600 games currently discounted on the Nintendo eShop<\/a>, it’s easy to get lost when trying to find the gems. Some titles go for literal pennies but not every sale here is equal.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

There’s no 1st party options currently present, it’s all 3rd party developers but there’s big names going cheap including Ace Attorney, Monster Hunter, Oddworld and more.<\/p>\n

This isn’t a Black Friday sale despite the timing, though we expect further discounts to follow in the run up to next week. Right now, there’s still a great selection of high quality releases and we’ve picked our top recommendations.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking to keep an eye out for wider Black Friday Switch deals<\/a>, check out our recommended deals here, which we’ll keep updated as sales continue coming in.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
