Nintendo Kicks Off Loads of New Deals on Switch Games for Mario’s 40th Anniversary Celebrations



Mario Day, or “MAR10 Day,” is back again this year, and Nintendo is kicking off the festivities for fans in honor of the Super Mario Bros. 40th anniversary, alongside the upcoming release of the Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

As part of the celebrations, there are several Nintendo Switch games discounted as part of the sale, alongside plenty of other exciting discounts to check out. Let’s take a look at what’s up for grabs.

Let’s start with the big stuff. From March 8 to 14, retailers in the US are offering discounts on Nintendo Switch games. That includes Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury and Super Mario Odyssey down to $39.99 each, alongside the Switch 2 Edition of Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV for just $59.99.

Nintendo is touting this as the first Switch 2 game to be officially discounted, which seems a little silly for several reasons. First of all techinically, yeah, it’s a Switch 2 game and includes the additional content, but also Jamboree, as a full-fledged game, initially released on the OG Switch. Its Switch version is also part of the sale, at $39.99.

And while it’s the first “official” discount, we’ve also been covering Switch 2 games getting regular discounts at US retailers like Woot, Amazon, Best Buy, etc since launch (such as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for $55 just the past week).

So again, technically true, but also mildly irrelevant for the average consumer. Not trying to rag on Nintendo here, but I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t point it out. But hey, if you’ve been holding out on Jamboree, it’s better than paying $80, that’s for sure.

For digital-only gamers, it’s also worth noting that My Nintendo Store and Nintendo eShop are also offering deals on select titles, such as Mario vs. Donkey Kong and Super Mario Maker 2 for $39.99 each.

We’ve also recently seen Super Mario Odysessy down to as low as $30, so this isn’t the most recommendable deal, but it’s worth checking out if you’ve been eying up some Mario games and aren’t too worried about getting the best price possible.
