Nintendo Switch Sale Makes Minecraft and More Games Cheaper than Ever Before

Minecraft and more are part of a big Nintendo Switch sale right now.

The Nintendo Switch eShop constantly has different games on sale from time to time, but given how seldomly first-party games like Princess Peach: Showtime, Super Mario RPG, Mario Kart 8 deluxe, and more go on sale, your best bet when it comes to deals is typically getting a third-party game at a discount. Thankfully, the current lineup of Nintendo Switch games that are on sale right now has some pretty impressive third-party games that are as cheap as they've ever been, or in some cases, are cheaper than they've ever been before. Minecraft is one of those as the game celebrates its 15th anniversary and is for a limited time the cheapest it's ever been on the Nintendo Switch.

That cheapest price ever is $14.99 for those who are wondering, but Minecraft is far from the only game that's enjoying its best deal yet right now via the Nintendo Switch eShop. Other games included in that kind of deal are ones like Braid: Anniversary Edition, a game which just came out this month.

Below are several different games on sale right now in the Nintendo Switch eShop that are cheaper than ever before. Every game that's listed below will only be discounted from now until mid-June at the latest, so be sure to jump on any deals you want before they're gone. Minecraft needs little introduction, so we'll skip that one, but more on the rest of them including a trailer and an overview can also be found below:
