Pentiment (Switch eShop)
£10.04 (-33%)
Pentiment is a fantastic adventure RPG that revels in a studious approach to history and immaculate recreations of the styles and traditions of 16th-century Bavaria. There's a super smart, funny, and engaging murder mystery to investigate here, but it's how that mystery is so fully rooted in the world that's been lovingly crafted around it that really elevates this experience. It's one of the best games of the past decade, hands down, and to have that experience running and performing perfectly on Switch is a joyous thing — it feels like it was made for Nintendo's console. This is about as essential as games get.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (Switch)
£26.99 (-40%)
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a slick return to the roots of this franchise that serves up clever 2.5D action wrapped up in a delightful art style and satisfying story. There's a smart balance here between old-school levels of action and challenge, moreish combat, and neat puzzles, all mixed with accessibility options and fine-tuning that open things up to newcomers and casual players. We knew Ubisoft Montpellier was a pair of safe hands and the team hasn't let us down, serving up the first must-play of 2024 in a Switch port that absolutely does the business.

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut (Switch eShop)
£10.79 (-70%)
Disco Elysium's narrative and dialogue, which was already wonderfully compelling in the base game, was given a massive boost thanks to the excellent voice acting introduced for the Final Cut. The gameplay features a host of branching paths for you to explore, and while the slow, methodical approach may turn a few people off, this is nevertheless one of the most well-told stories in any medium from the last few years. The performance issues at the time of our review slightly took the shine off things, but even with them present, Disco Elysium: The Final Cut was and is a triumph and stands as one of the best RPGs available on Switch.
COCOON (Switch eShop)
£14.59 (-30%)
Cocoon is a fun and addictive puzzler. Its unique mechanics and gameplay had us glued to our screens, and it’s gorgeous to boot. Its lack of explicit story may come as a minor disappointment, and it's a consistently sub-30fps experience on Switch, but its performance never adversely affects gameplay and if you love puzzles, this game will be an easy favourite — even if it flies by all too quickly.
qomp2 (Switch eShop)
£16.19 (-10%)
qomp 2 is an excellent and worthy reimaging of Pong that honours the classic arcade game's legacy while providing a unique experience for folks with no nostalgia for Atari's seminal masterpiece. It offers a consistently interesting and engaging means of traversal with a great variety of obstacles and puzzles to overcome throughout the 30 stages. We would have liked a few more levels in the end, but this is really just an indication of the quality on display here. If you're into quirky action-focused puzzlers with a unique hook, then qomp 2 is definitely worth your attention.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition (Switch)
£19.99 (-60%)
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt remains a masterpiece, and being able to take such a grand and engrossing adventure on the go is something well worth celebrating. The Switch's Complete Edition is a truly impressive achievement, and although performance isn't perfect, it's still an incredible and impactful role-playing experience. The Witcher 3 set the bar for modern RPGs back in 2015, and this port is a startling reminder that it has yet to be bettered.
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (Switch)
£14.99 (-70%)
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a wonderful achievement for dynamic storytelling, as it puts forth a compelling and multifaceted narrative that’ll keep you guessing right up until the very end. This excellent story, combined with enjoyable combat portions, a striking art style, and some top-notch voice acting make for an experience that you won’t want to miss out on. It’s the kind of game that’ll have you wishing that you could play it again for the first time, just so all its best elements could be new again.
Florence (Switch eShop)
£1.79 (-64%)
Florence is an evocation of the beauty, sadness, and hope that comes from any human connection we make in our lives, whether with art, nature, or another person. It's a succinct and incredibly successful exploration of moments you'll recognise from your own life, and the way it mirrors thoughts and feelings through small gameplay mechanics makes it one of the most affecting experiences we've enjoyed on Switch, or any other platform.
Mark of the Ninja: Remastered (Switch eShop)
£4.49 (-75%)
Mark of the Ninja: Remastered is an utterly stellar stealth game and it’s lost none of the magic that made the original such a critical darling. Strong art direction, an engaging story, well-paced open gameplay, and a slew of extra content all combine to make for a near-flawless experience that you certainly won’t want to miss out on. We’d give this game a high recommendation to all Switch owners; it’s the best stealth game money can buy in the Switch library, and one of the best ones in any console library.
Outer Wilds (Switch eShop)
£14.59 (-30%)
If you can overlook the technical challenges – and we could – Outer Wilds remains a wondrous experience on Switch. With almost no gating and free rein to investigate a rich corner of the universe, it captures the quest for learning in the most direct way possible: the only reward for progress is knowledge. Starting with no information at all, you come to understand the intricacies of this little solar system better than its inhabitants. Having soared through such an epic, introspective, and existentially inquisitive adventure, we probably came to understand ourselves a little more, too.
Super Mario Odyssey (Switch)
£33.29 (-33%)
Super Mario Odyssey was a return for the 'sandbox' style players had been pining for since 1996, and it delivered everything you could want and more. Cappy's capture abilities keep things fresh in a game which blends all sorts of ideas and art styles into an improbably coherent, compelling whole. It really shouldn't work, but New Donk City's human inhabitants are able to co-exist with the anthropomorphic cutlery of the Luncheon Kingdom and the big-eyed cute characters of the Mushroom Kingdom clan thanks solely to the developers' impeccable execution. The mechanical mastery on display here is breathtaking, with so many distractions to discover, and there's a joyful abandon which carries through every kingdom you visit. We don't envy the designers who have to come up with Mario's next game, but if Mario Odyssey is anything to go by, absolutely anything is possible.
An utterly remarkable entry in this most celebrated of series, then, and an essential purchase whether you like Mario or not.

Pentiment for me for that price. I don't know much about it but I've heard that's the best way to experience it anyway.
well how much are they on sale in U.S. dollars though? Im an American in the U.S. and I don't go by British pound or whatever.
yeah Nintendolife is a UK/British videogame website but come on. Nintendolife staff needs to be considerate where Americans come to this dang website too
@XandertheWise Have you missed the part where they said Europe in the title? They also had plenty of similar articles aimed at America specifically.
@XandertheWise It's specifically said in the article that this sale is in Europe, so they probably didn't put prices in dollars because some of these same games are likely not on sale in the US. Not everything revolves around your country.
@XandertheWise it's a European sale. When it's an American sale they usually post the prices in dollars.
@XandertheWise I assume they have people from all over the world that view the site making pricing guides a slippery slope on what currency to include or not include. In fairness to them ive seen them include articles from time to time based on sales in the USA. If they include us dollars do they have to include Canadian dollars also. So I side with NL in this case
It's a European eshop sale not a US sale. Why would they list it in dollars you can't even pay in dollars for them.youd have ron convert into a European currency Be nice if they listed the Ruro prices as well as pounds though.
Did you use the word "dang" to prove that you are American?
@XandertheWise Xander the not so wise.
I got Mark of the Ninja Remaster for that price during the last sale, but didn't get to play it yet. And it's likely to remain in the backlog till the next couple of sales
And ... there is never enough of Bayonetta 3 ... and for that price!
Hope this sale comes to the US. Thinking I might pick up Pentiment on Switch even though I have it via GamePass. Definitely is a great fit for a mobile device.
Pentiment and Prince of Persia are totally worthy at that price! Go for them, guys!
@Roibeard64 well Im not the only American that comes to the Nintendolife website. Other Americans besides me probably do get fed up with the UK/British pound sale for Nintendo eShop announcements.
Would be nice if the site would also include the American dollar sale too for us U.S. folk
@awp69 exactly. I hope the same sale is included for us U.S. folk.
Some of Americans do come to the dang Nintendolife website and its companion sites push square etc. yet we have to deal.get used to the UK folk being the first ones to get the sales before we do
@XandertheWise https://www.nintendolife.com/tags/sales
All coverage for sales, including those in the U.S., can be found there. Now please stop embarrassing us.
@Nontendo_4DS lololol. Yeah man. Not to mention the answers are just a Google away.
Including the price in US dollars would be silly. But since these articles are about European sales, and most of the European countries use the Euro, I'd say it would be the minimum to include the price in Euros, and yet Nintendo Life never does.
I wish I could take advantage of the Atelier Ryza 3 sale, the first 2 gane were just enjoyable comfy gaming. But I just cannot read the tiny subtitle text on the third game in handheld mode (which is the only way I use the Switch).
@XandertheWise it's for the European sales, you want dollars go see the North American sales articles on the site. They are separate eshops with separate sales and separate accepted currencies how are you not grasping that basic fact.
@FreasurePlanten yeah I don't know what Nintendolife has against listing Euro prices like you do get Eurozone readers like myself that would love to not have to open the eshop to see extactly what it's going for here.
I know reviews are subjective, but there appears to be a pretty big difference between the NL review scores and the user ratings on some of these.
The Atelier games really went on sale in only parts of Europe. Wtf. The rest of us only get discount on the remake.
I was hoping for a better sale, not many of my wish list have a discount, so then my interest is piqued for the following:
1. Pentiment
2. Tails of Iron
3. The Stanley Parable
1 & 2 would make a nice medieval double header, whereas 3 has a bit of a Half Life vibe (it being based on a mod).
Decisions, decisions....I was going to buy the Jeff Minter collection, but that might need to wait, so which should I buy from the above or are there any other unmissables?
I realised yesterday that my switch had fallen out of my bag after playing pocket card jockey on the plane to Portugal. 😭 I'm praying Jet2 found it. Luckily I left most of my game cards at home but did have 6 heavy hitters in the carry case 😢😢😢
Already have everything I want from this list, but just stopped in to say how crazy it was for Mario Strikers to get a 9!
@cra1g0s Pentiment was my GOTY on Xbox when it came out. Absolutely loved it, amazing game.
(Having said that, I'm also really enjoying the Jeff Minter collection at the moment too, so...)
@Alex79uk The Jeff Minter collection for me, would bring back a lot of memories, not just of games like Revenge of the Mutant Camels and others, but that whole era of PET computers, followed by the Vic-20 and C64...yeah, I'm that old!
I'm going to think about Pentiment, I like to have games that are a bit unique and this certainly appears to be.
@cra1g0s There are more than a few games on the Minter collection that you'll play for a couple of minutes just to see what they're like. Realistically there are probably 7 or 8 that you'll put any time in to (although your milage may vary, of course) but those games are brilliant and the accompanying interactive documentary is really nicely done. I'm definitely pleased with the package.
Trust an American to want American dollar prices in an European shop sale 😅
Just wait for the US eshop sale - the big sales are always mirrored there.
@SuperRetroArt
I like that was a good one lol that’s funny 😆 Im from Russia but I have lived in America since I was 2
and I’ve used the word dang now so many times 😂
So much absolutely amazing titles!
As much as I love me some sales, a 65 game list spread over 6 pages doesn't help me to narrow my focus very much, does it?
For most of these I bought them physical. I prefer physical over digital anyday.
