Last chance: get these Mario Day Nintendo Switch bundles before midnight

Nintendo offers packs and discounts on the Switch gaming console and five Mario games, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyssey, since Sunday, March 10 to celebrate Mario Day. (March 10 is "MAR10" – do you understand? "May 4" is the day of Star Wars.) But the sale ends today, Saturday, March 16 at 23:59. PT.

The details of the sale:

From March 10th to 16th, some games featuring Mario will benefit from a 50% discount ($ 30 off) when they are purchased with a switch provided. Packages cost $ 330 and remain available at Best Buy, Walmart and Target. (GameStop and Amazon no longer seem to have stock.)

These same five Mario games have been reduced by $ 20 (33%). The titles in question are:

Switch: Package Switch + Mario Game for $ 330

As mentioned above, several large retailers are still offering the package, but the details have changed since Sunday. At the moment, Best Buy seems to have the best option, followed by Walmart.

Best Buy has a guided page that allows you to choose the color of your choice (gray or blue / red) and the game to add. But here's the kicker: Best Buy seems to be the only retailer that also lets you also choose the switch provided with a $ 35 Nintendo eShop credit. So you get the Switch, a half-price Mario game and $ 35 to spend later on any Switch digital game.

Walmart also has a special page that lets you choose which switch color you want and which game to add. Although Walmart does not offer the $ 35 eShop credit, it adds Nintendo pins and, for better or for worse, a Paw Patrol carrying case.

Target is a little more self-service, but it works: just add the Switch console and one of the games above to your cart. When you're ready to check out, you'll see the discount applied to the game for the entire order to reach $ 330. (There seems to be no eShop credit, nor extras.)

Amazon, by contrast, is a mess. It also contains the products on one page, but you have to add the console to your shopping cart, then save and add a game. But, from Wednesday, it did not allow us to benefit from a reduction in our basket, even if it worked earlier in the week. The bottom line: This case seems dead at Amazon.

Discounted Mario Digital Titles are "exhausted"

When Mario Day's sales began on Sunday, many of the above retailers had released the digital versions of the five Mario games for $ 40, a $ 20 discount. But it seems that most retailers only had a limited number of digital codes before selling them. As far as we can judge, they have gone from Amazon, Walmart, Target and Best Buy.
