Before they are gone for good, as there’s no telling how long these deals will last for, or when these games might ever be on sale again, this morning we are highlighting the Walmart pre-order deals on the brand new Yoshi and the Mysterious Book and Splatoon Raiders for Switch 2. Both games are up for pre-order at $10 off right now in physical boxed form:
These are the same prices you would pay in digital form, as we detailed previously, but if you want the proper boxed edition for your collection you’re looking at what will probably be the best price for months here, if not longer.

Update 4/29: This posted has been updated with all of the latest leaks.
In case you somehow missed it, there has been a massive leak over at Nintendo. Somebody is stealing all of the Mushroom Kingdom’s biggest secrets and leaking them all over the internet. As exciting as some of this leaked information is, I almost hope it’s all fake and Nintendo completely surprises everyone over the next few months.

We have already detailed this morning’s Square Enix Switch game sale at Amazon and Best Buy – you’ll find all of those deals right here and down below. But Amazon has also launched a separate digital Switch game sale starting from $30 and with up to 40% in savings. You’ll find a host of first-party titles on sale here, ranging from Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity and Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe to Nintendo Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp alongside some third-party titles as well.

As you can see below there are a host of digital games on sale right now at up to 40% off the list prices:
While this morning’s game deals roundup is where you will find deals on Mario and Zelda titles, this Amazon sale is serving up some notable discounts on titles we don’t often see marked down like Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Nintendo Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, and more.
Down below you’ll find some highlights from the aforementioned Square Enix sale and more – the rest await right here.
As we detailed this morning, Woot is back again today with another particularly notable bonus 20% off event. This means you can score any of the already discounted Switch and Switch 2 games it offers at an additional 20% off using code GAMER20 a checkout. Just remember, there is a limited of one coupon use per customer – so choose wisely. This will drop titles like Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition down to $43.99 – one of the best prices ever – or Super Mario Bros. Wonder to $37.50. But the code will apply to all in-stock Switch games you’ll find on this page.
Just be sure to get in there as soon as possible before the best stuff sells out (it is already starting to).
There is definitely a leaky warp pipe somewhere within Nintendo right now, as any avid switch gamer already knows, and a new, albeit quite cryptic, rumor suggests a new 2D Zelda game announcement is all but imminent.

Amazon has $10 Nintendo gift cards on sale today. Switch and Switch 2 games are expensive, and so is all the hardware. Deals, especially on the new stuff can be very had to come by, but these discounted gift cards can certainly help the case – you’re effectively trading money for more money to spend on the eShop and Nintendo store here.

This morning Nintendo officially revealed the summer release date for the single-player Splatoon Raiders Switch 2 game. Pre-orders are now live on the Nintendo Store, but, perhaps even better is the price – it looks like digital Switch 2 games will indeed be less expensive than physical boxed copies as we suspected.

While we are still waiting to see what Nintendo has next for the Switch 2 Game Cube library, the April 2026 NES Nintendo Classics updates and the companion trailer have arrived. And these ones didn’t leak ahead of time, like everything else Nintendo has on is release schedule this year.

When is the next major Switch 2 game announcement going to be? Well, apparently very soon. Rumors and relatively reliable leakers have been divulging Nintendo’s 2026 release plans for a few weeks now, but it looks like what might very possibly be the most reliable of them all has just doubled down saying the first of these big announcements will happen this month.

Nintendo has a serious leak problem right now, as we have already discussed. It seems as though just about all of its major 2026 releases have already surfaced online, leaving very little to the imagination when it comes to the upcoming summer and holiday Switch 2 release schedule. There are couple of other titles that have been mentioned among the leaks and, while they don’t come from sources quite as reliable as some of the others, if they do end up coming to fruition we could be in for a new Wario Land game and a potential new classic Metroid remake this year.

Nintendo has now officially announced a new Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Nintendo Switch 2 console bundle. I guess not everything it had planned to announce this year already leaked (but a whole bunch of it seems like it has).

Update 4/3: We have now updated this post with some additional leaked details on some potential upcoming Switch 2 releases.
As we have already reported, there have been some major Nintendo leaks surfacing across the interwebs over the last week or so, much of which coming from folks with solid track records for this sort of thing. While these sorts of early details and rumors were very much expected last year with the launch of the Switch 2, it appears as though much of the Nintendo 2026 launch plans have leaked already.

A brand new special edition, or rather themed, Monopoly set is now up to celebrate the (record-breaking) theatrical release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Much like we have seen for years with these crossover real-estate tycoon boards, this one shakes up the usual formula with a series of themed rules, pieces, and features based on Mario’s latest adventure through the stars.

The Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary celebrations continue after the release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in theaters this week as a few new collectibles and goodies have surfaced at retail (or will be very soon). Both Best Buy and Target have new Super Mario Bros. 40th anniversary collectibles up for grabs, including a pair of game cases (they are sort of like a SteelBook case that holds multiple Switch and Switch 2 cartridges).

While the leaks and rumors regarding upcoming Nintendo plans have slowed to some degree compared to last year’s Switch 2 launch cycle, there have been some seriously exciting tidbits floating around as of late. Not the least of which, some fairly high-profile Nintendo Insiders have already claimed we are in for a complete remake of one of the most celebrated Nintendo titles of all-time: The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. And now it looks as though there’s good reason to believe there will also be a special edition Zelda Ocarina of Time Switch 2 Console.

The new Super Mario Galaxy Movie is hitting theaters today! I will likely be making my way to a local screening this weekend, but for collectors or those who would rather skip the lines and overpriced popcorn, pre-orders for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Limited Edition SteelBook Blu-ray + Digital are now live alongside some upcoming listings for the The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Collectible Tin edition.

There have been some notable releases for Switch 2 thus far, but nothing overly remarkable at this point. We have had some notable first-party releases with the new Mario Tennis game and the Super Mario Bros. Wonder expansion, not to mention the surprisingly well-received Pokémon Pokopia. But Nintendo is going to need some heavy hitters to keep the hype rolling this year – will we finally get a new 3D Mario experience? Doesn’t sound like it at this point, but rumor has it a massive Zelda remake is inbound alongside a new Star Fox game and much sooner than later at that.

Nintendo unleashed the final trailer for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie earlier this month, but the reveals ahead of the April 1 release aren’t quite done yet – it has now confirmed that Fox McCloud from StarFox is in the film.

We are taking quick break from the now live Amazon 2026 Big Spring Sale to discuss some Switch news.
