Summary

  • Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario RPG are currently on sale on Amazon.
  • Mario-led Switch games are rarely subject to price cuts, hence these games going on sale being a big deal.
  • Them finally being reduced in price is likely down to the Switch nearing the end of its life cycle coupled with the release of Thousand-Year Door this week.

Nintendo has now confirmed it is working on the successor to the Switch and that it will reveal the first details about its next console before the end of the current fiscal year. That has led to a quieter release schedule for the Switch in 2024, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The Switch has one of the biggest and best libraries in video game history, and with some of its bigger hits finally getting price cuts, there has never been a better time to go back and catch up on anything you might have missed.

The Switch and its games have sold so well that Nintendo rarely feels the need to reduce them in price. Take Super Mario Odyssey. With a score of 97 on OpenCritic, Odyssey is widely regarded as one of the best games of all time. That has helped it continue to sell well almost seven years on from its release. However, you can currently get Odyssey for less at Amazon. A very rare sale for the hugely popular game, you can pick it up for $44.95 through the link in the box below rather than the usual $60.

With the next 3D Mario likely being saved for the Switch 2, and 2D Mario covered by Super Mario Bros. Wonder in 2023, Nintendo has been filling the gap with Mario remakes. First up was Super Mario RPG. A candidate for cult classic status, the remake of the RPG twist on the Mushroom Kingdom is also on sale at Amazon right now. Another $60 title that likely wouldn't have been reduced in price had it been released at the beginning of the Switch's life cycle, since it dropped six and a half years in you can already get it for $42.88.

None of the price information for Super Mario RPG is currently showing on its Amazon page. However, the price will show when it's added to your cart and should be $42.88. Double check that price before you check out though, especially if you're reading this days after it was published.

Super Mario RPG on Nintendo Switch is a remake of the game with the same name, originally released on the SNES in 1996. A completely reimagined version for an entirely new generation, it includes locations and characters even some of the most experienced Mario fans will have never seen before.

Nintendo is likely selling its Mario games for less not only because the Switch is nearing the end of its run, but also because Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door hits its seven-year-old console this week. Another remake of a well-loved RPG from the plumber's past, Thousand-Year Door will be one of, if not the last Mario game released on Switch. It all depends on what Nintendo has planned for the second half of 2024. Those plans will be revealed during an already-confirmed Nintendo Direct in June.
