Happy New Year! It’s 2023 now, and while I’m nervous that this year won’t be any better than the last two pandemic years, at least it’s starting with a big ol’ Nintendo Switch eShop sale. included New Years Sale are some good deals on newer games like Sonic Frontiers and Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Sagaplus some discounts on first party Nintendo deals like Paper Mario: The Origami King and Captain Toad: Treasure Trackright
It’s always a big deal when the notoriously stingy Nintendo eShop (where games, particularly first-party titles, remain at full price years after launch) has such a large-scale sale. Even better if it includes deals on newer games available on Nintendo’s hugely popular handheld hybrid console. And although this is not the case the best or biggest sale we’ve seen on the eShop There have still been some good deals over the past few years, which should help you find something to play with as we slowly creep through the early winter months of 2023.
