Summary
TheNintendo Switchis wrapping up, but unless you’ve been watching closely you’d be forgiven for not realizing that’s the case. Even with a significantly ramped-down release slate so far in 2024,Nintendohas still been releasing console exclusives more regularly than its rivals. Pretty much one big release per month fromMario vs. Donkey Kongto The Thousand-Year Door. Its bigger games are also still full price for the most part seven years into the Switch’s run, although2023’s Super Mario RPGcontinues to be the exception to the rule.
Despite only being a little more than six months old,Super Mario RPG has already been on sale a few times. Two weeks on from it hitting a previous record low, Amazon has cut the price of the remake by even more. Right now you’re able to get Super Mario RPG at Amazon through the link in the box below for $39.95. Not only is that more than $20 off a still relatively new Switch game starring Mario, but it’s the lowest price the game has been available for to-date.
The sale price of Super Mario RPG isn’t showing on its store page but should be applied when you add the game to your cart. Double-check that the sale price is still applicable before you check out.
Why Super Mario RPG is the Mario game getting heavy discounts is unclear. It was celebrated at launch and Nintendo’s latest numbers revealed it has already sold more than three million copies. Other than finally caving and putting Mario games on sale during what could be the Switch’s final year, it might be an attempt to wean people onto The Thousand-Year Door. Pick up Super Mario RPG for $40, realize Mario RPG games are pretty great, and then move onto the $60 Paper Mario game that was just released.

WHERE TO PLAY
Super Mario RPG on Nintendo Switch is a remake of the game with the same name, originally released on the SNES in 1996. A completely reimagined version for an entirely new generation, it includes locations and characters even some of the most experienced Mario fans will have never seen before.
There’s an outside chance Super Mario RPG is repeatedly on sale at Amazon due to the odd relationship between Nintendo and the retailer.Amazon canceled pre-ordersforEndless Ocean: Luminous, The Thousand-Year Door, andLuigi’s Mansion 2 HDand still hasn’t explained why.Nintendo eShop gift cards have also been removedfrom sale on the site and can only be found through third-party sellers.
Even though Nintendo is still being sparing when it comes to cutting the price of Switch games and everything else connected to it, now is still a great time to hop aboard the 140 million-selling bandwagon if you shop smart.Amazon also has Isabelle’s Animal Crossing Switch Lite for just $155(usually $200). Considering the console includes a copy ofNew Horizons, that’s a pretty incredible deal.
