Lowest Nintendo eShop Prices of the Blockbuster Sale

The Nintendo eShop's Blockbuster Sale is here, offering a plethora of discounted titles! While lacking first-party games, the sale boasts many compelling options. TouchArcade highlights fifteen standout deals, presented without specific ranking:

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim ($14.99 from $59.99)

This unique blend of side-scrolling adventure and real-time strategy gameplay follows thirteen individuals battling kaiju in an alternate 1985. The narrative is strong, visuals are top-notch (as expected from Vanillaware), and while the RTS elements are less polished, they don't detract significantly. A highly recommended title at this discounted price.

Persona Collection ($44.99 from $89.99 until 9/10)

Featuring Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal, this collection offers exceptional value. Each RPG provides hours of engaging gameplay and emphasizes the power of friendship. A fantastic deal for RPG enthusiasts.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R ($12.49 from $49.99)

While other platforms offer a smoother 60fps experience, the Switch port remains playable. This unique fighter offers a refreshing alternative to established titles like Capcom fighters and Mortal Kombat. A solid choice for JoJo fans.

Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 ($41.99 from $59.99)

Despite some initial performance and option shortcomings (since addressed via updates), this collection delivers top-tier games and bonus materials. Ideal for newcomers or those seeking portable Metal Gear experiences.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Deluxe Edition ($41.99 from $59.99)

A superb action game port, Ace Combat 7 fills a niche in the Switch library. Engaging gameplay and story are complemented by numerous unlockables, although multiplayer has some reported issues. Highly recommended for speed enthusiasts.

Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection ($39.99 from $79.99)

This collection features HD remakes of the first three Etrian Odyssey games. Challenging gameplay and the signature mapping feature (with auto-mapping option) make this a worthwhile purchase, especially at half price.

Darkest Dungeon II ($31.99 from $39.99 until 9/10)

A unique roguelite experience that diverges from the original Darkest Dungeon, offering a distinctive style and compelling storytelling. Recommended for roguelite fans, though Darkest Dungeon veterans may find it less appealing.
