For the first time since 2007 there is no Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. The pair of video game icons and their makeshift teams have been competing against each other since the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, with more titles being released for the London 2012, Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 games. Unfortunately, there is no Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games for Paris.
That doesn’t mean you can’t still pit your favorite polygonal plumber against friend and foe! Now through August 11th, Nintendo is hosting a “Play Together” sale with massive discounts on dozens of multiplayer titles for Switch, including over a dozen Nintendo first-party games that show off the more competitive, sporty side of Nintendo’s mascots, with each one discounted by over 30%.
If you don’t feel like playing sports games, you can save a lot on other multiplayer titles, including Monster Hunter Rise and Sunbreak Deluxe for $24.99 (was $69.99), Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes for $41.99 (was $59.99) and The Trombone Master for $8.24 (was $14.99), where even the worst performances are often the funniest. Oh, and there’s also Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 for $23.99 (was $59.99), in case you need a refresher on the last time these two powerhouses battled it out for medals.
Nintendo’s Play Together Sale is available not only on its own online store, but also at several retailers, including Best Buy, Target, and Humble. Here are some of our favorite deals from the event.
