There's currently 833 deals on the Nintendo Switch Store. Many of these deals are either for games you've never heard of or feature discounts not worth writing home about. However, there are some great deals to be had on some equally great games, as long as you don't mind rummaging through nearly 850 deals. That said, if this expedition sounds unappealing to you, don't worry: we've already searched every nook and cranny of the sale, and have emerged with five great indie games all currently $5 or cheaper.

That said, not only are the following five games all smaller titles, but they aren't brand new either. You can't get brand-new Nintendo Switch games for cheaper than $5 unless they launch within this price range. However, if they are launching within this price range it's usually a sign to stay away.

Introduction aside, below you can peep all five games, find trailers for each, and store links for each.
