A new Nintendo Switch eShop deal has made two classic games just $1, but the deal is only available until March 23, 2024 at 2:59 a.m. EDT. In other words, time is running out on the Nintendo eShop deal. The game and its sequel on Nintendo Switch normally cost $20. Meanwhile, a third game in the larger trilogy is also on sale. Normally it would set you back an additional $25, but it is on sale for $2. This means until tomorrow, Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED users can claim the entire trilogy for just $3, saving $42 in the process.ย
The first game in question hails from 2002. Developed and published by Microids, it was released as a PS2, PC, and original Xbox game. Upon release, the game — a graphic point-and-click adventure — earned Metacritic scores as high as 82 and was a commercial success for the French games maker. If you haven’t connected the dots the mystery game is Syberia, which got a sequel, Syberia II, two years later in 2004. And it was a similar story again. The sequel earned Metacritic scores as high as 80 and was a commercial success for Microids on the same platforms. Right now, you can buy a bundle of these two games for just $1.99, meaning each game is effectively $1 a pop.ย

The third game, Syberia 3, had to wait a long time before releasing. While there were two years between the release of the first two games, there was 13 years between the second and the third game, with the latter not coming out until 2017. Once again coming the way of Microids, Syberia 3 was unfortunately not received as well. Upon release, its highest Metacritic score was only 51. It apparently sold well enough for a fourth game — Syberia: The World Before — to be released in 2022 though. And based on its Metacritic scores of 81, it got the series back on track. Unfortunately, this installment is not available on Nintendo Switch.ย
