Summary
  • Nintendo of America announced a Customer Appreciation Sale with 30 percent off many digital games
  • Sale runs September 12 through September 26 across eShop, Nintendo Store, and some retailers
  • Nintendo said tariff related refunds helped make the promotion possible, while it absorbed most costs

Nintendo of America announced a Customer Appreciation Sale that discounts dozens of Nintendo Switch digital games and bundles by 30 percent, the company said. The promotion also includes savings on select physical games, downloadable content, accessories, amiibo, and apparel.

The sale runs from September 12 through September 26 across Nintendo eShop, Nintendo Store, and participating retail locations, Nintendo said. The company warned that available products and offers may vary by retailer and sales channel.

Nintendo framed the event as a thank you to players and said the promotion was made possible in part by tariff related refunds. Nintendo added that it absorbed most tariff related costs, and that refunds helped make promotions like this one possible.

The company invited owners of Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 systems to explore the discounted titles and bundles during the sale, and encouraged customers to find new adventures or revisit favorites.

Retail Availability And International Ordering

Nintendo said participating retail locations will carry some of the sale items, but it did not list specific partners or confirm full retailer participation. The company reiterated that offers and available products will vary by sales channel and retailer.

Best Buy directs international customers to shop on www.bestbuy.com and to have orders shipped to any US address or US store, the retailer notes. That guidance applies to international shoppers who wish to use Best Buy to receive US ordered goods.

The Best Buy notice does not confirm participation in Nintendo's promotion, and Nintendo did not name specific retailers that will join the Customer Appreciation Sale. Shoppers should therefore check retailer terms and availability before assuming sale pricing applies at any particular store.

Both companies placed emphasis on channel differences and limits to availability, signaling that consumers may see different discounts depending on where they shop. Nintendo thanked its community for continued support and encouraged discovery of discounted offerings during the promotion.
