Nintendo Switch Eshop Has A Bunch Of Great Deals This Week

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is right around the corner, but it's not here just yet. That means you still have time to catch up on some Switch games you've been planning on playing before New Horizons' March 20 release. You're in luck, because the Eshop has a bevy of awesome deals this week, led by a few heavy-hitting first-party titles in honor of Mario Day.

In addition to Mario Day savings, a number of Ubisoft games are on sale for great prices. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle drops to $15, which equals the best price ever for the zany XCOM-like strategy game. Rayman Legends Definitive Edition, one of the best platformers in recent memory, is only $10 right now, and both modern South Park RPGs--The Stick of Truth and The Fractured but Whole--are heavily discounted, lowering the prices to $12 and $15, respectively.

You can build massive empires in Civilization VI for $30 (was $60) or metropolises in Cities: Skylines for $10. A pair of popular 2019 games from long-running franchises are also steeply discounted. NBA 2K20 is down to $19.79 (was $60). Square also has several of its biggest games on sale, including a handful of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games.

Some of the most enticing game deals tend to be buried on the Eshop, but we rounded up the best ones below.
