Nintendo Summer Sale: 25% Off Digital Games & Switch 2 Consoles
▼ Summary
– UK fans can get at least 25% off select digital first-party Nintendo games until August 3, a rare opportunity for big savings on Nintendo-published or in-house titles.
– Nintendo Switch 2 stock is more available at My Nintendo Store UK, with bundles like Switch 2 + Mario Kart World offering good value at £429.99.
– Donkey Kong Bananza bundles are priced the same as buying separately, making them less of a deal compared to the Mario Kart World bundle.
– The eShop Summer Sale includes discounts on games like New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe and Fire Emblem: Three Houses, though major hits like Breath of the Wild are excluded.
– First-party Nintendo games rarely go on sale, making this a good chance to buy backlog titles like Metroid Prime Remastered at a discount before the sale ends on August 3.
Gaming enthusiasts in the UK have a golden opportunity to expand their Nintendo libraries with significant discounts on digital titles, alongside improved availability of the latest Switch 2 consoles. The ongoing summer promotion offers at least 25% off select first-party games through the Nintendo eShop until August 3, making this one of the rare moments to snag premium Nintendo content below retail price.
For those still hunting for the Switch 2 console, My Nintendo Store UK has restocked both standalone units (£395.99) and popular bundles. The Switch 2 + Mario Kart World package remains a standout deal at £429.99, effectively slashing the game’s price in half compared to purchasing separately. However, bundles featuring Donkey Kong Bananza follow standard pricing, offering convenience rather than additional savings for fans planning to buy the game regardless.
The eShop sale excludes blockbusters like Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, but several high-quality titles have received substantial markdowns. Games such as New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Splatoon 3, and Metroid Prime Remastered, which rarely see discounts, are now available at reduced prices. Notably, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, originally priced at £49.99, has dropped to £33.29, presenting an excellent chance for tactical RPG fans to dive into this acclaimed entry.
Given Nintendo’s reputation for infrequent sales on first-party titles, this limited-time promotion is worth serious consideration. While digital purchases dominate the discounts, physical collectors may need to wait for retailer-specific deals. With Switch 2 bundles selling quickly, those eyeing the Mario Kart World bundle should act fast before stock runs out. Whether upgrading a library or finally securing the latest console, this summer sale delivers rare value for Nintendo loyalists.
