With gamers finding themselves still in lockdown the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite have become essential tools for staying entertained. The Nintendo Switch is now sold out worldwide at a regular price (thanks scalpers) and the Switch Lite is in a low-stock situation, too.
Luckily, though, for gamers who already have a Nintendo Switch console right now there are a handful of games that are absolutely perfect for lockdown escapism on sale, with some titles now reduced by more than half price. And, what's more, these games cover a wide-variety of genres, too.
There's major Nintendo Switch properties, like Pokemon and Animal Crossing discounted, as well as third-party and indie classics, too. To browse all the Nintendo Switch games directly, simply click on one retailer quick links below, or view a T3 curated selection of discounts further down the page.
