Nintendo eShop is having a Super Smash Bros. themed E3 sale

In celebration of E3 and the return of Super Smash Bros., the Nintendo eShop is having a huge sale. The theme of the sale is Super Smash Bros., so a lot of the games offered are ones that feature characters on the Smash roster.

For Switch, that means popular titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Fire Emblem Warriors are down from $59.99 to $44.99. For the 3DS, older games like the Mega Man Legacy Collection ($5.99) and Wario Land 3 ($2.49) are going for super cheap. Newer titles like Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia and Poochy & Yoshi’s World are also reduced to $26.79.

But there’s loads of other titles not specifically related to Super Smash Bros. that are available, including indie gems like Night in the Woods ($13.99) and Aegis Defenders ($13.39). In total, 54 games are on sale right now.

I had a brutal introduction to the game’s multiplayer, sometimes perturbed by lag, and frequently determined by who built up their energy meter the fastest to unleash near-unstoppable attacks. The game, launching June 22 on Nintendo Switch, does give players some defensive tools, such as a “trick shot” that is more about getting a player to the ball in a hurry, and the ability to slow time. But against a human player, once placed on the defensive, it is hard as hell to retake control — and in Mario Tennis Aces, even a modestly skilled receiver can take it away from the server on the first return. This is, I suppose, a tribute to Mario Tennis Aces’ gameplay, because that’s how tennis is supposed to work in real life, right? Still the slice (Y on the ...
