super-mario-odyssey — Super Mario's on sale right now, if you're interested.
GameSpot

Did you miss out on the Black Friday/Cyber Monday Nintendo eShop sales, and do you own a Nintendo Switch? Nintendo has thrown us a bone: a new eShop digital download sale has emerged timed to last night's Game Awards broadcast.

There are a bunch of seriously great Switch games at discounts through the morning of Dec. 10 (at 8:59 a.m. PT to be exact). The whole list is here on Nintendo's website.

How good? How many? There are some games here that never seem to get sales, including Super Mario Odyssey and the recently-released Diablo III, which weren't on sale during Black Friday or Cyber Monday on Nintendo's eShop. Here's what you should buy, if you don't already own them.

Note that CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured on this page.

One of the best games Nintendo's ever made, and a stand-out of 2017. It's rarely on sale.

The Switch version of this game has earned rave reviews, and it supports multiplayer. I just bought it.
