After dealing with the trials and tribulations of sold out next-gen consoles, delayed packages and disappointing experiences with highly-publicized major releases, the gaming community has encountered their fair share of raw deals this holiday shopping season. Luckily, Nintendo has just the thing to balm what ails you: the Indie World Holiday Sale, a last-minute markdown on some of the eShop’s best-selling titles like Cuphead and Super Meat Boy along with up-and-coming hits such as Hades.

Shop Nintendo’s Holiday Games Sale

The sale runs through January 2nd at 8:59 AM PT, and luckily you don’t have to worry about limited stock, since everything is digital. If there is a gamer in your life who got shafted by stock issues or a late package, a Nintendo eShop gift card or digital download code for a unique new platformer might be the perfect remedy. Conveniently, Target is currently offering a promotion on gaming and subscription gift cards. When you buy one regular price Nintendo eShop gift card, you can get another one for 15% off.

Don’t forget! If you are a current My Nintendo member, you can earn Gold Points on these digital downloads. Play your cards right and you might even be able to snag an entire game with your My Nintendo rewards.

The Best Discounts from Nintendo’s Indie World Holiday Sale

Nintendo’s Indie World Holiday Sale is a great deal if you are nostalgic for old-school platformers, looking to try something new or simply want to get a good bargain. The thought of spending $60 or more on a game you have never played can be daunting, especially if you have limited funds and want to make the right decision. Supporting independent game companies is a great way to explore new genres and stay on the cutting edge of the industry.

Even if these games aren’t particularly expensive at full price, the Indie World Holiday Sale is a pretty good Nintendo deal –especially considering the company’s tendency to avoid major holiday sales, which was largely true of this past Black Friday.
