5 Games You Can Pick from the Nintendo Store
1. Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Let’s start off the list with the multiple award-winning, Nintendo-exclusive title—Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It follows the events after the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild storyline. In this game, we see the return of Ganondorf, the main antagonist. Last seen in Twilight Princess (released on GameCube and Wii), he makes his return after 17 years.
Good news: if you have the saved game files from Breath of the Wild, you will get your previously owned horses from the stables. The map of Hyrule mostly stays the same, but you get two completely new places to explore: the Sky and the Depths.
2. Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit – Luigi Set
Coming in at number 2 is a rather unique entry. Have you ever wondered how cool it would be if you could set up a Mario Kart race track in your living room? With Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit – Luigi Set, you can experience exactly that.
The set contains an actual model of Luigi on a kart with a mounted camera and four gates numbered 1 to 4. All you do is just place the gates and drive your kart through them in numerical order. How do you drive, you ask? Well, through your Nintendo Switch Console!
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit – Luigi Set is currently available for $59.99, with close to a 40% discount on the usual $99.99 sticker price. Order the set here and join in on the action. Hurry, because the Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit – Mario Set has already been sold out!
3. Minecraft Dungeons Ultimate Edition
Dungeon crawling combined with the legendary Minecraft franchise can only mean loads of fun. This game is not groundbreaking by any means and has a linear story. The antagonist is an outcast who stumbles upon an ancient artifact in a temple called Orb of Dominance. He gains dark powers and raises an army with the powers of the Orb.
You will play as a nameless hero who takes a stance against this tyranny. The gear system, combat, and level design are rather straightforward, and you can go for hours playing this fun title.
Grab Minecraft Dungeons Ultimate Edition here for $19.99 at a 50% discount running now.
4. EA SPORTS FC 25
Want to indulge in a game of football on the go? Grab EA SPORTS FC 25 at a discounted price and be on your way. The Switch version of this game has all the features that its counterparts from more powerful consoles and PCs enjoy.
For the first time, EA has added the Rush game mode to the Nintendo Switch version, where five-member teams are pitted against each other on a smaller pitch. Rush rewrites the rules of traditional association football by introducing blue cards, and kick-offs are replaced with a mad dash for the ball.
EA SPORTS FC 25 also has the traditional Tournaments, Ultimate Team, Player Career, and Manager Career. So, the next time you are in a long transit between flights, you’ll have the option of firing up your Switch and indulging in fabulous virtual football matches—bidding the dull moments goodbye.
As of now, EA SPORTS FC 25 is on a 50% discount at $39.99. Grab it here.
5. Just Dance 2025 Deluxe Edition
Ubisoft’s Just Dance 2025 Deluxe Edition may be the perfect way for you to let loose. With five new exclusive Ariana Grande songs, this game is ideal for someone looking for a break from treasure hunts and monster slayings. There are a plethora of songs categorized according to difficulty. You can have an easy dance to SpongeBob songs or challenge yourself with ‘Something I Can Feel’ by Mandy Harvey which is quite challenging—the choices are endless.
Up to six players can play this game at the same time. Two can take up the Joy-Cons, and the others can tune in with their phones using the Just Dance 2025 Controller App.
