Nintendo's MAR10 Day eShop Sale Welcomes A Handful Of Sweet Savings (North America)

I love how they offer some games at 30% off and some at 33% off.

Why? I guess the $2 on the more popular games might add up but why not make all of them 30% off instead? Are people really going with Mario Maker 2 over Wonder because it's $2 cheaper?

Pretty shady if Nintendo to advertise a clean $20 off only to not do it.

I guess you can call these "Sweet Savings". They could've been much better in my opinion.

@Overzeal Are you talking about Mario vs. Donkey Kong? It's $20 off on carts, just not as a download for some reason.
Edit: But Mario Wonder is not down to $39.99 for some reason, you're right

You know, if they ever even once discounted the Mario Kart DLC, I'd have bought it outright by now...

Why is mario kart 8 deluxe not discounted?

If Odyssey were discounted I'd be tempted to finally snag it, but as is none of these interest me (much as I want to support the Mario + Rabbids games).

The physical version of Mario Wonder is on sale for the same 30% discount ($42) on the My Nintendo online store, but you need to purchase at least $50 to get free shipping.

Woot did have it for $40 for a bit (now $45), but you need Amazon Prime for free shipping from Woot these days.

So the wait continues for me.

Nintendo could have definitely been a bit more consistent with the deals across the eShop and at retailers, that's for sure. No reason why Mario vs DK is $35 on the eShop and $30 at retail for example

This 30%/33% winds me up, do 70% or 67%

@BoFiS Then you should own the DLC right now as it was on sale the last week of 2024 with every retailer price matching the eShop sale.

Same ol same ol. I'm sort of tempted at Mario Vs DK and Captain Toad though.

@Wisestfool Damn, I missed that, really have never noticed it on sale since it launched and became part of the Online Expansion subscription

I already have most of these (and Ubisoft isn't getting another penny from me). If Nintendo actually sold their Mario sports games for what they're worth (≈$20 each), I might actually be interested in buying them, at least for collection's sake. As is though, Mario Tennis Aces, Mario Golf: Super Rush, and Mario Strikers: Battle League should have been finished games at launch, instead of offering minimal content to be added to later...
And considering they're not even on this list, I guess I'm going to have to wait even longer for them to drop the price to something reasonable.

I got Wonder from the eshop and I’ve loved it so much that I got an Odyssey code on sale from target and I’m thinking of picking up 3D World from target too.
I’m actually rediscovering some much needed joy and lightness with gaming through these games.

@CaleBoi25 I can't Believe they didn't! Definitely worth picking up second hand at least, definitely best 3D Mario game.

It would be nice if these prices applied for physical carts.

I just found out that MAR10 is actually a code for MARIO

@KayFiOS totally agree with them being too pricey, but they were finished at launch, the bonus characters are not technically needed for the full experience. It's not like whole modes we're missing. Getting tired of people hating on those for something that they didn't do, or at least didn't do as badly as, say, Nintendo Switch Sports, or Animal Crossing (two games which I, for the record, really love).

@obijuankanoobie I have played a good chunk of it at a friend's house, but yeah I just might grab it secondhand.... After Switch 2 launches that is. Till then my wallet is sealed up tight!!

Hey, Wonder's finally on sale.

@slowpoke_tail Nintendo games only tend to go on digital sale around one year and a half/two years after release, so it's still a bit early for TTYD.

I'm going to buy the season pass for Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, great price.
I finished the game 100% in February, I really enjoyed it.

Resist the urge, resist the urge, resist the urge…

@NintendoByNature I was really tempted by Captain Toad (it's a great game) but decided my 3DS copy is sufficient.

It's called "spending" not "saving".

@CaleBoi25 Mario Odyssey is on sale for $39.99 at BestBuy (physical or digital) as of right now if you’re in the US.

Weirdly even though it's Luigi's Mansion 3 on sale in the eShop it's 2 on sale digitally elsewhere, so I picked that up from Best Buy.

@Notsoavid Thanks for letting me know! I'll look into it

I ended up seeking out a free Prime trial (weird that I had to google to claim the offer) and then bought Mario Wonder & Brothership for $45 each and Zelda EoW for $42 from Woot. Wish I had thought of googling the free trial earlier as the Mario games had an even lower price on Woot but sold out.

It's absolute bull that Mario vs DK is $5 extra digitally, but this is still as close a price as I'll ever bite for. Nintendo never puts old games on sale once they move to a new generation, so this may be one of the last chances.
