Save up to 75% on Nintendo Indie games in limited-time sale
There are some big discounts on popular titles.
To celebrate the newly announced indie titles coming to the Nintendo Switch console this summer, Nintendo is hosting an Indie game sale in both its US and UK eShops until April 23, with up to 75% off. Did you miss the announcement? Don't worry – We've covered the best Indie World Showcase highlights.
Some of the best Nintendo Switch games are actually made by the smaller studios, and this sale only proves it with hits like Hollow Knight, Cuphead, Celeste, and Stardew Valley all receiving impressive discounts. Most of these games admittedly were never that expensive to begin with, priced at around $20. But this indie game sale has prices dropping to as low as $5 for top titles.
I've listed some of my favourite picks and recommendations below, but there are over 1,500 indie titles with discounts available right now, so be sure to check out the entire Nintendo eShop sale before it ends next week. We also have a guide to the best retro consoles if that's more your style, with retro controllers to consider too.
