Nintendo Switch deals make up a solid foundation for any gamer’s Memorial Day sales shopping, and Walmart is holding the fort together particularly well this year. We’re seeing a number of games at between $10 and $15 off right now, with some even dropping to record-low prices ahead of the main event on Monday May 27. Crucially, though, none of these game deals are being beaten (or even matched) by other retailers, making Walmart the place to be right now.

I’ve been watching some of the latest and greatest Nintendo Switch games dropping their prices for a few months now. Super Mario RPG was the first to go, dipping down to the early $50s a couple of months ago before ducking under that threshold more recently. You’ll now find it for just $42.88 at Walmart (was $59.99) - that’s about as low as it’s been.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder has told a similar story, though it took a little longer to get to today’s $46.20 rate (was $59.99). Considering similar releases like Super Mario 3D World are yet to hit these kinds of prices with any regularity, I believe now’s the time to take this leap. I’m not expecting to see material improvements on these kinds of rates in upcoming months, so I’ll be heading to checkout happy.

On my way, though, I’ll also be scooping up a copy of Mario vs Donkey Kong, Princess Peach Showtime, and The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom - all at their lowest prices for the foreseeable future, and only at Walmart.

You’ll find all these early Memorial Day Nintendo Switch deals just below, and plenty more discounts further down the page.

1. Super Mario RPG | $59.99 $42.88 at Walmart
Save $17.10 - Super Mario RPG is down to a fantastic $42.88 at Walmart right now. Not only is that the cheapest I’ve seen it in the last few weeks (when this price started to trickle down), but it’s also the best price on the web right now. Amazon and Best Buy are both behind on this one.

Buy it if:

✅ You want a 3D Mario adventure
✅ You enjoy turn-based combat
✅ You played the original

Don't buy it if:

❌ You prefer classic platforming

Price Check: Amazon: $47.99 | Best Buy: $59.99

3. Super Mario Bros. Wonder | $59.99 $46.20 at Walmart
Save $13 - Super Mario Bros. Wonder has been doing surprisingly well in discounts since release, dropping away from its $59.99 MSRP a few months ago. This is about as far down the scale as it’s dropped so far, and considering other retailers are still at $50+ it’s a fantastic price.

Buy it if:

✅ You want classic Mario action
✅ You need a new multiplayer game
✅ You want new mechanics

Don't buy it if:

❌ You prefer 3D Mario

Price Check: Amazon: $52.99 | Best Buy: $59.99

4. Princess Peach Showtime | $59.99 $49.14 at Walmart
Save $10 - Princess Peach Showtime is relatively new to the discount game, launching earlier in 2024 it hasn’t had the chance to come down in price too often. However, Walmart has an excellent $10 saving on the latest adventure in its Memorial Day Nintendo Switch deals.

Buy it if:

✅ You want an easy, relaxing experience
✅ You need a new multiplayer game
✅ You want to try lots of different mechanics

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want precise platforming

Price Check: Amazon: $51.75 | Best Buy: $59.99

5. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom | $69.99 $52.70 at Walmart
Save $17 - Tears of the Kingdom was already a higher-priced game, but Walmart is close to a $20 discount this week. I’ve typically seen the best prices on Link’s most recent adventure at this retailer, and that’s not stopping ahead of Memorial Day.

Buy it if:

✅ You want to explore a large open world
✅ You enjoyed Breath of the Wild’s gameplay
✅ You're a Zelda fan

Don't buy it if:

❌ You didn't enjoy Breath of the Wild

Price Check: Amazon: $57.95 | Best Buy: $69.99
