Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
In this madcap crossover, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Yoshi join forces with four friendly Rabbids (from the hit gaming franchise Raving Rabbids) in a wacky adventure to save the Mushroom Kingdom when a group of not-so-friendly Rabbids invade.
The award-winning role-playing game Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle for Nintendo Switch — for players ages 10 and up — is a wild co-op game full of strategy and puzzles with new weapons and attacks. It's fun for newly minted Mario fans as well as long-time devotees.
"This game came far out of left field," raved a delighted gamer. "Nevertheless, it's executed flawlessly. No RNG frustrations, no save scumming necessary. Lots of little nods to various Mario lore and history. Challenging scenarios, solid skill progression where I never felt over- nor under-powered, and great artwork.... My three-year-old was riveted with every battle..."
Right now, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is on sale for just $25 — that's 58 percent off — at Amazon.

"One of the best video game trilogies of modern gaming," raved a delighted gamer. "All three games play and look fantastic, and 2k has done a great job with the attention to detail with all of them. I’ve had zero performance issues."
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit — Luigi Set
Looking for a fun twist on a racing game? Nintendo has brought its beloved Mario Kart franchise to the real world with Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit for Nintendo Switch. This gaming accessory converts just about any floor into a Mario Kart track complete with checkpoints, power-ups and surprises.
While the Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit game is a free download from Nintendo, you need a Nintendo character kart set to actually play it. Happily, Amazon has Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit — Luigi Set on sale for $92 from $100.
"This game is so cool. It feels like a real Mario kart game on the console even though the toy kart looks slow in real life," raved a five-star reviewer. "So innovative and so much fun — and the thing just works perfectly. You can even drift! My cats like to join in which is not only hilarious but looks like a giant monster is chasing or batting at your kart. This is my favorite Switch accessory so far."
Just Dance 2021
Amazon is offering Just Dance 2021 for Nintendo Switch for $30, down from $50. That’s a 40 percent savings.
Just Dance 2021 comes with 40 songs to get you moving — including “Rain on Me” by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, “Adore You” by Harry Styles and “Don't Start Now” by Dua Lipa. The game is designed for up to six players. Fun and fitness for the whole family.
"I have all the Just Dance games — and granted, I'm going a bit nutty with all this staying at home during the pandemic, but this game may be my favorite," shared a stay-at-home dancer. "The songs are a great mix of genres, and the choreography has enough familiar moves to make the game comfortable to jump into, but it also has some new moves that I don't think I've seen in the other Just Dance games. And the backgrounds — wow — they are amazing. It's crazy to think how far the game has come over the years. Five stars for sure!"

NBA 2K21 has all the gameplay you want, from multi-player online to one-on-one (you versus the game itself). For the first time ever, it features WNBA teams as well, with players like Brittney Griner, Elena Delle Donne, Liz Cambag and Nneka Ogwumike. Right now, the price is more than right.
"Bought the game for my son — he's an avid 2K Madden kid. He opened it up and loved it.... It made me glad to see his smiling face," shared a delighted parent.
