The top Switch games I'd buy in the Nintendo Blockbuster sale

Animal Crossing: New Horizons:£49.99 £33.29 at Nintendo

SAVE 33% A few years ago, during lockdown, Animal Crossing was everyone's favourite cozy Switch game. What's not to like about building your own tropical island while being indebted to a wealthy Raccoon? This game is still fun for passing the time, by interacting with your villagers, designing items, fishing, fossil hunting, and bug catching.

Super Mario Odyssey:£49.99 £33.29 at Nintendo

SAVE 33%: Super Mario Odyssey is one of my favourite Switch games, but this Mario title has a twist. The plumber's loveable hat, Cappy, is sentient and lets you possess objects, animals and enemies to help you save Princess Peach from Bowser. This game is fun for all the family, and excellent for train journeys too.

EA SPORTS FC24: £54.99 £16.49 at Nintendo

SAVE 70%: I'll be honest, I'm not really into football. But playing it on a console is so much better than watching it on TV, and I'm slowly getting to grips with it. I grew up watching mostly Liverpool and now Arsenal games, so getting to play as current and past players makes it all the more fun.  

There's also a US deal on this game too.
