Nintendo’s Customer Appreciation Sale: What You Need to Know
Nintendo is running a rare sale on some of its biggest Switch titles. The Customer Appreciation Sale runs from September 12 through September 26 in the U.S., with discounts of up to 30% on select games, bundles, DLC, accessories, amiibo, and apparel.
Deals are available through the Nintendo eShop, the Nintendo Store, and select retail partners. Prices can vary by channel, so it’s worth comparing before checkout. Nintendo said the sale is a thank-you to fans, helped along by tariff refunds.
Best Game Deals in the Sale
Here are the standout game discounts to consider before the sale ends:
- The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – drops below $50 for a rare price cut, with the full building, fusing, sky island, and underground Depths content.
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – $41.99 for the open-world classic that redefined the series.
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + Booster Course Pass bundle – $59.48 bundled, versus $41.99 for the game and $17.49 for the pass separately; includes 48 extra tracks.
- Super Mario Odyssey – $41.99 for the kingdom-hopping platformer starring Cappy.
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder – $41.99; a newer Mario title already on sale.
- Kirby and the Forgotten Land – $41.99; an easy-to-pick-up 3D platformer.
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – $41.99, but only for the standard Switch version, not the Switch 2 Edition.
Hardware and Amiibo Deals
Beyond games, the sale includes useful accessories:
- Nintendo Switch Pro Controller – $55.99 with motion controls, rumble, amiibo scanning, and roughly 40 hours of battery life.
- Rosalina and Lumas amiibo – $24.49; scanning it in either Super Mario Galaxy game grants a 1-Up Mushroom.
Before You Buy
Not every Nintendo title is included in this promotion. Only select items are discounted, and product availability can differ between the eShop, Nintendo Store, and participating retailers. The sale is also U.S.-only, so shoppers outside the U.S. should check their regional eShop for local deals. The promotion ends September 26, so there is limited time to decide.
Final Thought
This sale is a strong opportunity to fill gaps in a Switch library, especially for first-party games that rarely see major discounts. Just confirm the price, the edition, and stock before you buy.
