Several notable Mario games are 35 percent off this week
With Nintendo still pledging tostop selling“Mario 35th anniversary celebration” games likeSuper Mario 3D All-Starsat the end of March, our attention is elsewhere in the Mushroom Kingdom this month, but it wouldn’t be MAR10 Day– March 10– withoutseveral discountson “Mario games” for Switch.
If you’re in the mood for a Mario romp– or want to show your support for Luigi instead– the following Nintendo Switch titles are discounted untilMarch 13at 11:59 pm Pacific on the Nintendo eShop:
35 percent off during a 35th anniversary? You lucked out on this one, Nintendo.
Strangely,Super Mario Odyssey– arguably the best Mario adventure in a good long time – isn’t a part of Nintendo’s MAR10 Day eShop sale. That said,AmazonandWalmarthave it for $38.88 right now.
You can make a case for any of these games, especiallyLuigi’s Mansion 3andMario Maker 2, but I’ll add thatSuper Mario Partyis a real I-guess-I’ll-get-it-at-that-price sort of jam.

Me? I’m too busy ignoringSuper Mario 3D Worldin favor ofBowser’s Fury.
