The Nintendo eShop has an insanely large sale of Nintendo Switch and 3DS games for sale this weekend that covers major games like Starlink: Battle for Atlas, FIFA 19, and even Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. The only problem with the Nintendo sale is that most of the games on discount are almost entirely third-party games and not Nintendo ones.
