The first sale is now live on the Nintendo Switch store

For the first time since the system launched, the Nintendo Switch has an online sale. Two well known games are getting a 40% discount from the official price, both of which have just received a free update that brings free content to the titles.

The first one is Super Bomberman R. Konami's debut for the hybrid console is £29.99 until Saturday, 8th July (previously £49.99). The other one is Snake Pass, the slithery platformer from Sumo Digital. For today only, you can buy it for £9.59 instead of £15.99.

Nintendo doesn't usually utilise sales, since their games often sell well for years, but they are open to other companies lowering prices in the eShop. It took almost four months after the launch of the Switch, but promotions are finally coming to the players on a budget.
