Nintendo Launches Supercharge Sale on Switch Games in North America

Nintendo of America kicked off its Supercharge Sale on Monday for owners of Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 consoles in North America. The sale cuts prices on digital games through the eShop and ties into physical deals at stores like Best Buy and Amazon. It runs until 11:59 p.m. PT on Sunday, January 25, 2026, giving players two weeks to grab bargains on popular titles.

Background

Nintendo has kept things busy this week. It added Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance to the Switch 2 GameCube library. The company also released new My Mario toys and collectibles. A fresh set of purple and light green Joy-Cons for Switch 2 hit stores too. Now comes the Supercharge Sale as the first major eShop event of 2026. This follows right after another big sale wrapped up just days ago. The event covers both original Switch games and newer Switch 2 titles. It mixes first-party games from Nintendo with third-party releases from publishers like EA, Sega, and Spike Chunsoft. Physical copies at retailers add more options, with some prices dipping as low as $5.

The sale aims to boost game libraries at lower costs. Nintendo lists all deals on its eShop and My Nintendo Store pages. Players can filter by best sellers or featured offers. This event stands out for including recent hits alongside older favorites. It comes at a time when Switch 2 owners look for ways to expand their collections without full price tags.

Key Details

The Supercharge Sale features 64 games for the original Switch and 13 for Switch 2. Discounts start around $11 for digital copies, with deeper cuts on some physical versions. Highlights span sports simulations, action adventures, and Nintendo staples.

What This Means

This sale gives Switch and Switch 2 owners a chance to pick up games they missed at lower prices. New 2026 releases like Madden NFL 26 and EA Sports FC 26 enter the mix early in their cycle. Long-time favorites such as Zelda and Donkey Kong get fresh visibility. Physical deals expand reach beyond digital downloads. Retailers like Best Buy match with winter console bundles, including Mario + Rabbids for $15.

The timing lines up with holiday aftermath and new year budgets. Switch 2's growing library benefits from cross-compatibility, letting owners play these on either console. Discounts on deluxe editions add extra content like DLC without separate buys. For families, sports and party games like Just Dance 2026 Edition at $38.99 offer group play options.

Nintendo plans more sales throughout the year, but this one packs variety. It covers genres from racing with Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds to RPGs like Unicorn Overlord. Buyers in North America get the most options, focused on US eShop. The event encourages digital shifts while physical stock clears shelves. With over 70 titles total, it suits different play styles and ages. Players check eShop daily as stock and prices can shift. This push keeps Nintendo ahead in handheld gaming sales.
