Black Friday just came early with Nintendo's big Halloween sale — here's 17 Switch game deals I'd buy now

Dicey Dungeons: was $15 now $3 @ Nintendo Store
Face off against Lady Luck herself in this charming deckbuilding roguelike, which is one of my go-to Switch games to play on trips. Its fast-paced, short runs are great for passing the time, and since everything plays out with dice rolls, there's a level of chance that keeps you on your toes.

Spiritfarer: was $30 now $7 @ Nintendo Store
This award-winning cozy management sim sees you play as a ferry master to the deceased in training. Build a boat to explore and platform your way through this gorgeous 2D world, then befriend and care for spirits before finally parting ways with them as they venture to the afterlife.

Resident Evil 4: was $20 now $10 @ Nintendo Store
One of the most acclaimed and influential games of all time, Resident Evil 4 has been reborn in this full-scale remake. You play Leon S. Kennedy on a mission to rescue the President's kidnapped daughter in a spooky European village overrun with gruesome enemies. Featuring modernized gameplay and overhauled visuals, this is Resident Evil 4 as you've never seen it before. 

Dead by Daylight: was $30 now $12 @ Nintendo Store
If you’ve ever thought that you survive longer than the main characters in classic horror movies, Dead by Daylight will give you the chance to be proven wrong. The gist is simple: As a Survivor, you team up with three other players to repair five generators that power the exit gates to escape. Alternatively, you can play as the Killer, whose job it is to take out the survivors before they can succeed.

Cult of the Lamb: was $25 now $12 @ Nintendo Store
Cult of the Lamb is a critically acclaimed roguelike that sees you venture into five distinctive regions to defeat powerful enemies and grow your following. In this kooky indie game, your ultimate goal is to build a powerful cult to repay a debt to the deity that saved your life, and the free Sins of the Flesh expansion adds even more content including fresh customization options, new progression systems and more weapons to aid you. 

Dave the Diver: was $20 now $14 @ Nintendo Store
This relaxing fishing game/management sim was one of 2023's biggest indie game hits. Explore the deep sea, haul in catches for your sushi restaurant, and uncover the secrets of the mysterious Blue Hole with Dave and his quirky cast of friends.

This Lego-themed action game will take you through the most memorable moments of the Star Wars franchise, including fighting Darth Vader for the first time and treading through the snow in Empire Strikes Back.

Sonic Frontiers: was $60 now $21 @ Nintendo Store
Sonic Frontiers is something of a departure from the Blue Blur's previous games. This time around, Sonic explores five distinct islands in a big open world, rescuing his motley crew of friends as he goes. The game has tight controls and varied gameplay, and the story is better than you might expect.

Super Mario Maker 2: was $59 now $39 @ Walmart
If you've ever wanted to construct your own Mario courses rather than just play them, Super Mario Maker 2 is the game for you.

While Skyward Sword was a little divisive upon release, the years have been kind to it.

Bayonetta 3: was $59 now $47 @ Amazon
Bayonetta 3 brings more slick, colorful action to the Nintendo Switch. With lots of variety and customization, our Bayonetta 3 review said it's the best game yet in the series. However, we found that the high paced combat pushed the Nintendo Switch to its limits, which resulted in performance issues in some places.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder: was $59 now $49 @ Walmart
Mario's latest side-scrolling adventure is a wonderfully refreshing spin on the classic formula. Venturing to the Flower Kingdom, you'll discover stage-altering Wonder Flowers which can warp levels, create new platforming challenges and even turn Mario into an elephant.
