If you're running out of time to get your holiday shopping done but have a Nintendo fan or two in your family, these Best Buy's last-minute game deals could be exactly what you need.

There's a whole range of Nintendo Switch games that the US retailer has dropped some serious cash off, and some have even returned to prices that I've seen since Black Friday earlier this year. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was a stand-out from last month's savings, and it's dropped back to just $39.99 (Best Buy), and games like Pikmin 4 have joined it as it's just $39.99 at Best Buy today too.

There's not just a big range of older Switch games, but there's even some Switch 2 bargains up for the taking, which you can still pick up or get shipped in time for Christmas Day. Just remember that the new Switch 2 is backwards compatible, so whatever you pick out of the deals I've included below will work just fine come December 25.

Pikmin 4| $59.99$39.99 at Best BuySave $20

Pikmin 4 | $59.99 $39.99 at Best Buy
Save $20 - Thanks to Best Buy's last-minute holiday savings, you can grab Pikmin 4 for its lowest ever price of just $39.99. Even better, this adventure of epically small proportions recently received a free update as recent as November, which added adorable new Decor Pikmin and a photo mode.

UK: £37.99 at Amazon

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom| $59.99$39.99 at Best BuySave $20

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom | $59.99 $39.99 at Best Buy
Save $20 - Echoes of Wisdom dropped to $30 at its lowest over Black Friday, so there is still a $9 difference with this Best Buy saving. But it's rare to see any huge amount of cash dropped off a Zelda title, so I'd jump on this $20 off deal if you're looking for the perfect gift for a Zelda fan.

UK: £38.99 at Amazon

Super Mario Bros U Deluxe| $59.99$39.99 at Best BuySave $20

Super Mario Bros U Deluxe | $59.99 $39.99 at Best Buy
Save $20 - There's a lot of games that are down to $39.99 at Best Buy today, and Super Mario Bros U Deluxe is also one of them. It's $20 off today, and it's one of the key older Switch games that has received enhanced visuals for the Switch 2, making it a perfect last-minute gift to grab for Switch 2 owners.

UK: £55.93 at Amazon

Super Mario Odyssey| $59.99$39.99 at Best BuySave $20

Super Mario Odyssey | $59.99 $39.99 at Best Buy
Save $20 - Most Switch and Switch 2 owners will already own this perfectly polished Mario platformer, but if they don't, it's also down to just $39.99 and can ship in time for Christmas. With the new Mario movie on the horizon, this could be the best gift to get any Mario fan in the mood for the upcoming new movie magic.

UK: £53.49 at Amazon

Mario and Luigi Brothership| $59.99$39.99 at Best BuySave $20

Mario and Luigi Brothership | $59.99 $39.99 at Best Buy
Save $20 - The last game in the Mario and Luigi RPG series released quite late into the original Switch's lifespan, so more than likely the Nintendo fan in your life won't already own it, making it a great gift idea. Its current saving is also a return of its lowest ever price, and it's sold out at other US retailers, making this one of the best pickups in this list.

UK: £34.95 at Amazon

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds| $59.99$44.99 at Best BuySave $15

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds | $59.99 $44.99 at Best Buy
Save $15 - If you'd prefer to gift a newer Switch title, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds is down to just $44.99 at Best Buy today, saving you $15 off its full price. This is the lowest I've spotted for the thrilling kart racer, which will make a great gift for Sonic and Sega fans alike, with the inclusion of Hatsune Miku, Joker from Persona 5, and Ichiban from Like a Dragon as playable racers.

UK: £38.99 at Amazon

Save $10 - Talking of recent releases, you could also gift this enhanced remaster of the iconic Tactics game on the Switch. It was released only a few months ago and is already down to its lowest ever price of $49.99 on the Switch, and an ideal gift for Final Fantasy and classic RPG fans.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero (Switch 2) | $59.99 $39.99 at Best Buy
Save $20 - If you're shopping for an anime fan, this Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Switch 2 deal is a great choice. It's down to just $39.99, and while it is a game-key card release, it is the lowest I've spotted for the recent Switch 2 version of the game so far. It's also full of Budokai Tenkaichi-style fighting action and is ready to arrive before Christmas Day.

Hardware Editor

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
