Amazon Prime Day 2022 has been and gone, and unusually, it was pretty light on Nintendo Switch discounts, at least in Australia. Sure, the vanilla Nintendo Switch received a discount, but when it came to savings on first-party Nintendo Switch games, there was basically nothing to be found. Never fear, though: right now there are some surprising savings on two major Switch games.
Metroid Dread is currently AU$49, which is 39% off its usual AU$79.95. We've seen it go slightly cheaper before—AU$45—but that's a good and rare discount on one of the finest Nintendo games of 2021.
The biggest drop is on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Edition, which is going for AU$39, a hefty 51% discount on the usual AU$79.95 price. It may not be the most beloved Zelda game ever made, but according to our review it has "incredible dungeon design", "inventive boss battles", and feels brilliant without the original version's Wii control system.
If you want to play these games but don't currently own a Nintendo Switch (at this stage, you must be in the minority!), you should check out our guide to the best cheap Nintendo Switch deals in Australia.
