Published on 06/25/2022 at 07:35

If you’re a happy Switch owner, you probably know that Nintendo offers discounted games very often, if not all the time! It’s not easy to separate the wheat from the chaff. Luckily, JV is here for you. Today we bring you a list of the best promotions on the console of the Japanese manufacturer. And there is something for everyone.

World of OllyOlly (-33%)

Lovers of skate games and dynamic experiences, OlliOlli World is for you! Does it ring a bell? This is new software from the Roll 7 team working on the previous two OlliOlli. Titles where you are a skateboarder on a horizontal scroll, and it happens very quickly! More than sliding, we are here in the presence of an authentic platform game. Yes, because OlliOlli has a whole concept of time that can more or less affect your speed. But speed, you will need it to cling to springboards and completely crazy figures. It’s an exhilarating and highly enjoyable formula that returns in this latest episode. The latter also adds new mechanics as well as an entirely new 3D universe. In short, all the lights are green to have fun on the sublime skateboard!

Discount: €29.99 → €19.99 (until July 3, 2022)

Civilization VI (-70%)

If you love 4X strategy games (explore, expand, exploit, exterminate), you probably know the iconic Civilization license that has been delighting fans of the genre since the 90s of 2016 with the highly successful sixth episode, which was ported to Switch two years later. . And imagine that this carry is beautifully made (16/20 in our columns). Even on huge maps with 11 other civilizations, this version works well despite some slowdowns. “In this way, you will discover the full depth of the gameplay of the original game,” we wrote for the test in 2018. The only thing missing is online multiplayer. Not enough to overshadow the already generous content of Civilization VI, which will keep you busy for hours.

Discount: €29.99 → €8.99 (until July 3, 2022)

NBA 2K22 (-75%)

Like every year, the NBA 2K license comes with a new episode now divided into two parts, one on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the other on previous generation consoles i.e. PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. And even if the Visual Concepts studio is the first to put the package on new hardware, the consoles of “last year” still have the right to a decent grind. At least this year! On the Switch, NBA 2K22 still offers the main My Career mode, which lets you embody the player and customize them from head to toe, even with the arrival of a new area by boat. And then, in terms of My Team mode (it’s Ultimate Team Fifa, basically), we can also celebrate the changes in gameplay with the new, much more useful shot bar!

Discount: €59.99 → €14.99 (until July 3, 2022)

BioShock Collection (-60%)

Three games for the price of one, you say? Well, brace yourself, because BioShock The Collection is currently heavily promoted on the Nintendo Switch. So for just twenty euros you can discover the joys of the sunken city of Rapture in BioShock 1-2 and the floating city of Columbia in BioShock Infinite. Years after release, the universe created by developer Ken Levine and 2K Games remains completely unique. Rapture, Colombia, under the guise of an ideal refuge, hides much darker realities that must be discovered and fought. What’s more, while we’re talking about action, BioShock has also made a name for itself with its special game system that combines firearms and special abilities. A cocktail that will make your trip even more unique. In short, throw yourself head first into the title.

Discount: €49.99 → €19.99 (until July 3, 2022)

While we are there, we continue with another collection. Currently on Nintendo Switch, find the XCOM 2 Collection at a low price. A pack that of course includes the base game, four content packs (Resistance Warrior, Children of Anarchy, Alien Hunters, Shen’s Last Gift) and the XCOM 2: War of the Chosen expansion! Enough to promise long hours of play. Of course, as always with ports on the Nintendo console, the software suffered a few in passing. So, as our verdict, we deplored the long loading times and general lack of finesse, which is really evident in dock mode. However, “software porting stays right, above all, you’ll have a formidable tactical title to take everywhere with you.” So you are well warned!

Discount: €49.99 → €9.99 (until July 3, 2022)

Legendary Borderlands Collection (-60%)

If you want another collection - yes - well, here you have it! But beware, this is a legendary collection. It’s not us talking, but the very name Borderlands Legendary! In this pack, therefore, we can find Borderlands 1 (in the Game of the Year edition), Borderlands 2 and Borderlands The Pre-Sequel. Enough to enjoy the famous 2K looting shooter for a long time. The icing on the cake is the additional content of each of the games. For even more happiness, know that this carrier has been the subject of special care. In our test, we certainly noted some concessions, but almost identical rendering to the PS4, Xbox One and PC versions. For good news, that’s good news! Finally, note that the software will take up a lot of space on the Switch - 47 GB - so plan for a powerful memory card.
