It’s March 10, which, thanks to the internet and a bit of brand marketing, is Mario Day, aka a low-key celebration of all things involving Nintendo’s beloved plumber. More importantly, it means there are plenty of discounts and promotions to take advantage of, including valuable deals on Nintendo games that are otherwise selling at full price.
Retailers like it Best Buy, walmart, Amazonand Aim are discounting a batch of Nintendo’s first-party physical and digital titles and various accessories, offering around $20 off many games that typically cost $60.
