Some must-have Nintendo Switch games are $ 20 off at multiple retailers

It’s a big week for the Nintendo Switch. The Switch with an OLED screen and Terror Metroid launch on Friday October 8. Whether you’re a Switch veteran or getting ready for your first console with the $ 350 OLED model, there are some great deals on the must-have cartridge-based titles you should know about. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and New Pokémon Snap are each $ 20 off. Amazon is the only retailer to honor the deal for all three games, but Best Buy and Walmart also have deals. Monster Hunter Rise is $ 20 off, but only on GameStop.

These are all great deals because they are rarely discounted games. Nintendo does run price cuts sometimes, but only for a select batch of games – many of which have been available since the Switch launched a few years ago.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Nintendo’s latest brawler pits beloved characters from the company’s franchises (as well as many other areas outside of Nintendo) against each other.

New Pokémon Snap

A sequel to the 1999 N64 game, New Pokémon Snap has players crossing the Lental region to take photos of thriving pokemon in their natural habitats.

Monster Hunter Rise

The last Monster hunter for Nintendo Switch is platform exclusive until the PC version launches in 2022.

Outside of Nintendo’s world, the Apple AirPods Pro are back at one of their lowest prices yet. Amazon sells these wireless headphones for $ 179, down from their regular price of $ 249. It’s not hard to find a decent deal on this model, but it rarely drops below that price, outside of Black Friday, at least. In case you didn’t know, these high-end AirPods have active noise cancellation, excellent sound quality, and their case can charge via Lightning or wirelessly on a Qi charger.

If on-ear headphones are more your style, the Beats Studio 3 noise canceling headphones in a few colourways are heavily discounted on Amazon. Originally $ 350, some of the color options are available today for $ 170. This model released in 2017, and just like the first AirPods, they feature the W1 wireless chip that makes it easy to connect to (and switch between) Apple devices.

The Beats Studio 3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones feature Apple’s W1 wireless chip to quickly connect and switch between Apple devices you may own. These connect via bluetooth and also support 3.5mm for wired connection.
