Headliners: Mario madness and multiplayer hits
Mario Kart World is getting slashed this weekend — a rare price drop on the Switch 2 version (about $64.99). It’s the big kart on the platform right now, and discounts don’t show up often, so if you’ve been waiting for a chance to hop in, this is the one.
Splatoon 3 is also on the roster for under $40. If you love chaotic turf warfare, this remains one of Switch’s best online playgrounds, with lots of weapons and modes and even a performance bump on Switch 2 hardware.
For co-op chaos, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is down to roughly $39.99. The combo shines with cooperative platforming and quirky levels — perfect for couch or online sessions with friends who can’t stop stealing power-ups.
And if you somehow missed it, Super Mario Odyssey is sitting at a bargain price as well. Its sandbox moons are still packed with invention, and it’s an easy way to get huge creative platforming without the sticker shock.
Big single-player deals and remakes
Luigi’s Mansion 3 — the one with the spooky hotel and vacuum-based ghost hunting — is on sale for about $39.99. It’s a charming, clever romp that still holds up for anyone wanting a lighter single-player adventure.
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is discounted to around $49.99. If you’re into weird sci-fi stories and jaw-dropping visuals on PS5, this sequel doubles down on the oddball worldbuilding and open-ended traversal that split opinion but wowed many players.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater — a remake that stuck close to the original — has seen a steep cut to roughly $30 on PS5. With the Master Collection on the horizon, now’s a good time to revisit (or check out) the rebuilt classic without paying full price.
Fantasian Neo Dimension, from Hironobu Sakaguchi with music by Nobuo Uematsu, is a solid turn-based pick at about $24.99. If you’re into old-school RPG vibes polished with modern touches, this one’s worth a look.
And yes, God of War Ragnarok has dipped to near $20 for physical PS5 copies — a wild low for one of Sony’s biggest action epics. If you skipped it at launch, this is a great time to catch up on Kratos and Atreus’ monster-slaying road trip.
Bonus bargains: party packs and collectibles
Super Mario Party Jamboree — the Switch 2 Edition with Jamboree TV content — is marked down to around $59.99. The new package throws in extra mini-games and gimmicks made for the Switch 2, but some of the added bits have drawn mixed reactions from players who preferred the cleaner original experience.
For collectors, the LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant set is almost $20 off and makes a fun shelf piece. It’s a chunky 540-piece kit with posable parts, great for Mario fans who like building as much as gaming.
