If you\u2019re a newcomer to the Nintendo Switch, or perhaps you\u2019re buying for someone who needs a boost to their game library, it\u2019s always wise to snag the console\u2019s best games when they go on sale, as they rarely do. Best Buy<\/a> is listing several games that I consider to be must-play experiences for $20 off \u2014 both in physical and digital formats. Other retailers, like Amazon and Walmart, are honoring the price cuts, too. Better yet, there\u2019s a range of games included in this sale, suiting people who want a shooter, a turn-based strategy game, or a good ol\u2019 3D Mario platformer.<\/p>\n

Super Mario Odyssey<\/em> is an inviting and delightful take on the traditional 3D Mario game, giving Mario a throwable cap to vastly extend his move set and to possess objects to get around levels. If you\u2019re fatigued by open-world games that have lots of objectives, it may be refreshing to play this, where your only goal is to jump, climb, and collect shiny things.<\/p>\n

Super Mario Odyssey<\/a><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

The keystone Mario title for the Nintendo Switch, Super Mario Odyssey, <\/em>doesn\u2019t disappoint. The latest installment in the Mario franchise brings plenty of fun, new mechanics, and ample charm. Read our review<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Fire Emblem: Three Houses<\/em> is the turn-based tactical title that I mentioned earlier. The game essentially has two parts: one that feels like a spin on a Persona <\/em>game, where you\u2019re building relationships with your students-turned-warriors, and the other part that sees you taking on foes in interesting battles that never overstay their welcome.<\/p>\n

Fire Emblem: Three Houses<\/a><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

\n

Fire Emblem: Three Houses<\/em> is a remarkably deep, turn-based strategy game. Its turn-based battle has never been sharper, and the characters and plot are memorable. Read our review<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Splatoon 2<\/em> is an off-beat, unique third-person shooter where you play as squid-like humanoids who shoot paint at each other. This game has clever weaponry (sort of akin to Ratchet & Clank<\/em>), and similar to Super Mario Odyssey<\/em>, its story mode offers a simple structure, letting you zone out on your way to the goal (which in this game\u2019s case is sniping a lot of enemies).<\/p>\n

Splatoon 2<\/em> is likely the most colorful shooter you\u2019ll ever play. The multiplayer-focused game has players dousing maps with a variety of weaponized painting tools, ranging from paint rollers to airbrushes.

And, of course, you should buy The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/em>. It was released alongside the Switch, but as my colleague Sam Byford wrote on the game\u2019s five-year anniversary, it set an extremely high bar<\/a> as an immersive, open-world action game that competing titles have struggled to meet. If you\u2019re a Zelda fan, you\u2019ll probably gobble this up, but new players should have a great time, too.<\/p>\n

Amazon is, once again, selling its third-generation Echo Dot smart speaker for next to nothing, with a couple of strings attached. You can get the charcoal-colored speaker for $1 so long as you\u2019ve never owned an Echo device on your Amazon account and so long as you sign up for one month of its Amazon Music Unlimited service, which costs $7.99 monthly for Prime members and $9.99 each month for non-members.<\/p>\n

Your total will come out to $8.98 at checkout<\/a> if you\u2019re on Prime or $10.98 for non-Prime members. And, just so you know, the streaming service subscription will be set to auto-renew each month, so keep that in mind.<\/p>\n

Echo Dot (third-gen)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

\n

This puck-like Echo Dot is the third generation of Amazon\u2019s smart speaker. It offers better sound than its predecessor, a compact design, and all the smarts that come with owning an Alexa device.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A three-pack of Blink\u2019s wireless Outdoor cameras costs $159.99 at Amazon<\/a> and Best Buy<\/a>, down from the usual $249.99 cost for the bundle. This price drop matches the big discount that occurred in mid-February. These cameras run on AA batteries, and the company claims that you\u2019ll get two years of use before needing to replace them. <\/p>\n

The camera system includes a complimentary 30-day trial to Blink\u2019s subscription that lets you record, view, and save clips. It costs $3 per month per camera after that or $10 per month for unlimited cameras. Alternatively, if you\u2019d prefer a local storage solution, you can pick up the Blink Sync Module 2 for $34.99<\/a>, which can save clips and photos from up to 10 Blink cameras.<\/p>\n
