Nintendo Switch Game Deals at Woot

The pair of Zelda games are just two of many notable gaming deals at Woot right now. As you’ll see below, many of the best Woot video game deals are first-party Nintendo Switch games such as Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and Luigi’s Mansion 3–perfect Switch games to play around Halloween. Numerous other 2024 first-party Nintendo games are included in the current batch of deals, too, including Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for $45 (though Walmart has it for $43 now) and Nintendo World Championships for $25. You can also grab last year’s excellent Mario side-scroller, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, for $45.

The Sonic deal is pretty exciting since the game launched October 25. Woot also has Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance’s Steelbook Edition for only $32.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom pays homage to the franchise’s classic formula while also embracing the modern era ushered in by Breath of the Wild and expanded upon in 2023’s Tears of the Kingdom. It’s the first mainline entry in the series with Princess Zelda in the leading role, and it plays a lot differently than previous top-down iterations starring Link. Zelda’s ability to create echoes (copies) of objects and monsters to solve puzzles, cross gaps, and fight offers a fun new spin on the classic formula. Just like Tears of the Kingdom, there are many ways to solve puzzles. Echoes of Wisdom also has key components of the classics, including traditional dungeons and Heart Pieces.

All long-time fans should play Echoes of Wisdom, but it would also make for a great first Zelda game for newcomers. It earned a 9/10 in our The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom review.

PSA: Woot’s new approach to selling Nintendo Switch games

Note: Woot recently reconfigured most Nintendo Switch listings to note that physical games ordered from the retailer are region-free editions. This means that you aren’t guaranteed to get a North American edition of the Switch games you order from Woot. All Nintendo Switch consoles are region-free, and Nintendo includes multiple language options in most games, including English in all of the Switch games listed in this article. If you get an international import, the only visible difference is the ratings board logo on the box, which is always ESRB for North American releases.

When it comes to actually playing the game, you won’t notice any differences between the North American, UK, Japanese versions, etc. The one potential snag is with DLC. For example, if you buy the UK edition of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, any DLC you purchase in the future must be from the UK eShop. North American Switch owners can easily create UK and Japanese eShop user accounts on Switch, so this is more of a potential annoyance than anything else, but it’s worth keeping in mind. That said, most of the Nintendo-published games above–and first-party Switch games in general–are fully self-contained and don’t have DLC.
