It should come as little surprise that in the year that saw the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, the house of Mario had multiple entries that made it into our list of the best games of 2025. If you didn't pick them up at the time, the good news is that you can do it right now - and at a discount price thanks to Amazon Prime Day.
The slightly less good news is that several of the best Switch 2 games are, somewhat unsurprisingly, made by Nintendo, which has long-since made its stance on discounts pretty clear. That stance, in case you weren't aware, is that reducing prices is something that other companies do, and that means that big first-party hits like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza aren't likely to be reduced anywhere you look. Even for Pokemon Legends Z-A, which is an older game and technically came out on Switch 1, I had to look a bit further afield.
But either way, there's plenty to enjoy at some good prices, including multiple full-fledged GOTY candidates like Hollow Knight Silksong and Hades 2. You might want to move quick though - Amazon Prime Day draws to an end this evening, so these deals might not be hanging around for too much longer. You might have waited a long time to get your hands on the games, but maybe don't wait on the sales quite that long...
