By HazelFeb 01,2025

The Nintendo eShop Blockbuster Sale is here! While the name might evoke images of dusty VHS tapes, the reality is a massive selection of discounted games. TouchArcade has curated a list of fifteen standout deals, excluding first-party titles, to help you navigate the sale. Let's dive into the best discounts!

This unique title blends side-scrolling adventure with top-down real-time strategy. Follow thirteen individuals across different timelines as they battle kaiju in an alternate 1985, piloting powerful mechs known as Sentinels.

For a fantastic value, this collection bundles Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal. Each is an exceptional RPG, offering hours of gameplay and emphasizing the power of friendship. At $15 per game, this is a steal for fans of the genre.

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