Nintendo Switch Super Mario games on sale for the movie
We still don’t know the full list of games on sale (or how much discount we’re talking about).
But there will be two batches: the first will start between April 5 and April 19. Then a second round with different games will be available from April 20 to May 4. Judging by the photo that accompanied the announcement, four games will be safe:
On Wednesday, April 5, starting at 9:00 AM in the morning Spanish time, we can enter the Nintendo eShop or the My Nintendo Store to buy Mario games at a discount on Nintendo Switch.
Will it be the usual 33% discount (ergo, 40 euros instead of 60), or will they stretch a little more because of the movie?
Recently, at MAR10 Day, they already had deals on Mario games and merchandise, and launched a special red Nintendo Switch with Super Mario Odyssey on it, perfect if you don’t have the console yet and you’re leaving the theater!
