Memorial Day weekend is here, and that means it’s time to ponder life’s most pressing questions. Like, what marinade should you use for those kebobs? Is it warm enough to set up the pool yet? And of course, the most crucial question of all: which new game should you splurge on while pretending your backlog doesn’t exist? Luckily, the Switch eShop has some tempting sales happening right now, so you can distract yourself while waiting for the endless previews before Mission Impossible 8.
If you’re more into physical games, there are some sweet deals out there too. GameStop is offering Advance Wars 1 and 2 Re-Boot Camp for just $30 (that’s half off!), while Amazon has Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake on sale for $40 (33 percent off). And over at VGP, you can snag discounts on 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Catherine: Full Body, and Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster. But if you prefer the convenience of digital downloads, here are some great games currently on sale on the eShop:
Prince of Persia The Lost Crown – $20 (50 percent off)

The Witcher 3 may not look the prettiest on Switch, but hey, beggars can’t be choosers, right? And with the game celebrating its 10th anniversary, now’s as good a time as any to dive into Geralt’s world on the go. Doom 2016 runs smoother and looks better, offering a satisfying demon-slaying experience for Nintendo fans. And for a more lighthearted option, Penny’s Big Breakaway is a charming throwback to classic 3D platformers that’s sure to keep you entertained.
For those willing to splurge a bit more, Sea of Stars and Labyrinth of the Demon King are worth checking out. Sea of Stars, priced at $22.75 (around 30 percent off), recently received a major free DLC that adds hours of gameplay and new content. Meanwhile, Labyrinth of the Demon King is a spooky dungeon crawler that’s already gaining attention, even though it’s only been out for a week. At $16 this week (20 percent off), it’s a promising addition to any Switch library.
So, whether you’re in the mood for fantasy adventures, demon-slaying action, or spooky dungeon crawls, the Switch eShop has something for everyone this Memorial Day weekend. Happy gaming!
