The Nintendo Multiplayer Sale has deals on Switch co-op favorites

Are you in a party, co-op, or head-to-head mood?

Some of my fondest Nintendo Switch memories were formed with multiplayer (and especially co-op) games, and if you’re looking for a group activity, the Nintendo Multiplayer Sale is worth a run-through. There are about 50 discounted games on the eShop, as well as some DLC, and the deals will stick around through August 7.

, and I’ve got recommendations. That said, this is a digital Nintendo sale — the games are often great, but rarely cheap.

10 games to consider

• ($15.99) runs fine on Nintendo Switch.
• ($27.99) is a good bang for your buck if you enjoy board and card games — and the AI puts up a fight in solo play.
• ($23.99) is here if you want to rekindle things.
• ($13.99) is a nice, casual pickup. It’s stick-figure chaos.
• ($44.99) has something for everyone, especially completionists, as it spans nine films.
• ($13.99) and the ($6.99) are a must-play for co-op fans.
• ($7.49) is more than just memes.
• ($12.49) is a fresh take on the classic brawler vibe.
• ($16.99) is under the radar, but it’s expanding.
• ($25.99) is a frustrating, chill, and funny arcade romp all at once. Just be warned that Monkey Target has .

A few more suggestions

Please don’t spend $35 on 1-2-Switch. It’s your money… but don’t.

And it’s also worth noting that is the good one on Switch — instead, this sale features ($41.99), which originally came out in 2018 and left some of us feeling empty. For what it’s worth, I did enjoy the hyper-realistic meat-sizzling mini-game. I’d play a whole dang cooking game in that vein. C’mon, Nintendo!

Although I wouldn’t recommend it at this arguably still-too-high price, if you’re curious about ($34.99), it’s an island activity game that’s good for a few laughs. Repetition can and will sink in, though. Kids might have a better time with it.

Finally, I’ll always prefer the “everyone’s here” appeal of ($41.99), but ($41.99) and the ($13.99) might show up at the right place and time for you (especially if you’re skipping the recent Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes). I could chip away at these Adventureꦇ maps for the rest of my life.

You’ve got until Sunday, August 7 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific to check out the Nintendo Multiplayer Sale. There are huge omissions, but that’s how it goes.
