Nearly 40 years after his first game, Mario remains one of the most recognizable characters, if not the most recognizable in the industry. So much so that he now has his own $1 billion animated movie to accompany his many Nintendo Switch games. Switch games rarely drop in price due to their popularity, which is why you should jump at the chance to pick up two of the most recent Mario games for less.
Head over to Woot right now and you’ll find Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG for significantly less than you’d normally expect to pay. Two Mario games that aren’t even a year old yet. By comparison, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyssey, a pair of Mario games that have been around for the entire seven years of the Switch, are still $60 each unless you’re lucky enough to find them on sale.
Mario Wonder has had its price cut from the same price of $60 to $44.99and Super Mario RPG, which usually costs $50, It's on sale for just $31.99. Both are bargains, but especially the latter considering how great a game you get for the price, and perfect as a Christmas gift for someone who’s getting a Switch this Christmas, or just as a treat for yourself if you’ve been waiting for either game in the hopes of picking them up while they’re on sale.
Mario games on Switch are rarely on sale
Especially when they haven't even come out for a year
If you’re not familiar with Woot, its sales are a little different than what you’ll find on other sites, as everything on Woot is on sale. There’s also no telling when those sales will end, as while each sale has a definitive end time, at which point the stock will be pulled, its sales usually end when the stock runs out. Mario Wonder, in particular, seems like a game that will sell out long before the clock on its page hits zero.
Nintendo’s push to make the Switch the best-selling console of all time continues this holiday season, and with Switch 2 news coming any day now, this could be the console’s last big opportunity to make that happen. Unfortunately, that push doesn’t include any innovative bundles, at least not in the US. The Switch and OLED Switch have once again been bundled with Mario Kart in the US. However, other regions are getting an OLED Switch bundled with Mario Kart.
