Prime Day is officially underway, but that doesn't mean that Amazon is the only place to save big money on the best Nintendo Switch games. Right now, the Nintendo Store is taking on the online mega-retailer with its own impressive sale that includes Switch games from $7 dollars.

A new deal has sprung up since that spotlights top titles from Square Enix, meaning there's plenty on offer for RPG fans to get stuck into. The best deal of the bunch is a 70% discount on Life is Strange: True Colors, if you're looking for an emotional, narrative adventure, that's the one I'd pick. Octopath Traveler II for $35 is worth a recommendation (but it's cheaper on Amazon!), and you can snap up the first Octopath Traveler for 50% off, too. 

Other top deals include Crisis Core – Final Fantasy VII – Reunion for $24, Theatrhythm Final Bar Line for $24, NEO: The World Ends with You at $23 (was $59.99). Golfing roguelike Cursed to Golf at $6 (was $19) is also a great deal worth highlighting outside of the Square Enix sale.

If you'd prefer to pick up some new Switch game cartridges or don't have enough space for more downloads, we've highlighted some of the best Prime Day deals on Nintendo Switch games below, too. So, let’s dive into all the Nintendo Switch deals you won’t want to miss this summer…

Ori The Collection: was $49 now $31 @ Amazon
This bundle packs in Ori and the Blind Forest and its sequel Ori and the Will of the Wisps. These soulful platformers are utterly beautiful and also prove surprisingly challenging thanks to some Metroidvania gameplay twists. These two games were originally released on Xbox consoles and PC, but they feel right at home on the Nintendo Switch and arguably play best on the go.

Plus, there's a free demo if you want to try the game before buying.
