$23.99 at My Nintendo Store
$59.99 Save $36.00

Why we like it:

The International Olympics Committee is reportedly dumping Mario & Sonic for NFTs and esports, but we're not ready to move on just yet. Its final collab with Nintendo and Sega is set at the 2020 Summer Games and features over 30 events, including karate, gymnastics, archery, and equestrian jumping. This appears to be one of its biggest discounts ever, at least compared to its historical pricing on Amazon.

'Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble'

Why we like it:

According to our sister site, IGN, this all-new arcade platformer is "a brilliant return to form with the best stages and controls the [Super Monkey Ball] series has seen in over 20 years." It launched just over a month ago, and it's already on sale for 25% off.

'Dead by Daylight'

$11.99
$29.99 Save $18.00

Why we like it:

Equal parts sweaty and silly, DBD is a cult-favorite asymmetrical survival game that's a real "who's who" of horror. (Chucky! Alan Wake! Nicolas Cage!) A new limited-time 2v8 Mode lowers the learning curve for killers and ups the chaos factor for survivors.

'Fae Farm'

$41.99 at My Nintendo Store
$59.99 Save $18.00

Why we like it:

This magical farming sim from last fall is a cozy gamer must-play. It just got its second major update with new characters, regions, outfits, potions, and more, and it's completely free for Team Switch (not PC).
