The scent of mulled wine, mince pies, and cheap tinsel in the air is a lovely reminder that Christmas Day is right around the corner. But while the big day is vast approaching there's still plenty of time to pick up some extra gifts for the Nintendo fan in your life. Typically, Nintendo Switch games can be pretty pricey, especially where recent 2024 releases are concerned. But fortunately, the holiday season also means there's Nintendo Switch savings to be had.

Most of these lovely discounts were originally part of Black Friday. However, as the big sales specular ended, so did the savings on one of the best Nintendo Switch games and they quickly returned to their full MSRPs. Thankfully, the festive season has resurrected the lowest-ever prices of Black Friday past, with some Switch games as low as $24.99 at Woot, even including 2024 titles.

For the biggies like The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, you aren't going to see anything lower than the $40 mark here. However, 28% off some of the most notable Mario releases for the handheld is still a great deal, considering Woot's Amazon is still listing both games for much more. Whether you want to catch up on any Switch games you've missed out on or want to get the biggest Nintendo fan you know the perfect gift, these deals will save you some well-earned cash - cash you can put towards even more Nintendo games of course.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom |$59.99 $49.99 at Woot
Save $10 - The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom first dropped to $51.99 shortly after release and hovered around the $53 - $58 price range just before Black Friday. The latest game in the series finally dipped below the $50 mark once the big sales event began with a whole $10 off its 59.99 MSRP but returned to full price after. Now, Echoes of Wisdom has returned to its $49.99 Black Friday price tag in what appears to be a Christmas miracle - so I recommend picking this up for the Zelda fan in your life while you still can.
