In late July 2026, Nintendo began a broad price-cut campaign on its North American Switch eShop, offering the lowest-ever discounts on dozens of games, with some titles reduced to as little as $1.99. The initial sale featured a wide mix of indie, classic, and franchise titles, including the Batman: Arkham series, Among Us, and the Castlevania Advance Collection, with price reductions ranging from 30% to 80%. A few days later, Atari announced its own promotion on the same Nintendo eShop, extending deep discounts to games for both the original Switch and the newer Switch 2. Atari highlighted steep price reductions on its catalog, including classics such as Turok 1-2, System Shock 1-2, and Tetris Forever, again with prices as low as $1.99. ~~The back-to-back sales indicated a coordinated period of aggressive pricing on the Nintendo eShop, targeting both current and upcoming hardware.~~ By mid-August, the eShop continued to feature new sales and all-time low prices.
