Nintendo recently announced a new pricing policy, which knocks $10 off the cost of digital versions of future first-party titles exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2. Splatoon Raiders, for instance, is available for preorder ahead of its July 23rd release for $49.99 digitally or $59.99 for the physical edition. However, Amazon and Walmart are the exception in how theyโre pricing preorders for the cartridge version. Right now, you can reserve the upcoming title at both retailers for $49.94, which is a few cents cheaper than the digital version. Raiders isnโt a sequel to Splatoon 3, but rather a spinoff that has similar third-person, paint-splatting gameplay set in new locales.
The same $10 discount is in effect for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, a side-scrolling adventure with a gorgeous storybook art style that comes out on May 21st. The price of the physical version is $69.99, but Amazon and Walmart are currently offering it for $59.88, which is similar to the digital editionโs price. Given that prices on many tech and gaming-related products are increasing, itโs nice to see notable discounts on physical Switch 2 games. If youโre looking for other gaming deals, weโve pulled together the best discounts from Amazonโs weeklong Gaming Week sale.
Update, May 1st: Updated price and availability to reflect the fact that Amazon is now matching Walmartโs preorder promotion on both Switch 2 titles.
