Twenty classic video games just got their first ever discount on NintendoSwitch!
Hamster's Arcade Archives series has brought a ton of classic arcade games to Nintendo Switch, including several originally developed by Nintendo. That list includes many fan favorites, including Donkey Kong, Punch-Out!!, and the Mario Bros. arcade game. The Nintendo Switch eShop hosts a lot of sales, but somehow none of these games have ever been discounted.
Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will recognize many of the games on this list, as their console incarnations are available through the NES app. However, in many cases, the arcade versions feature notable differences. For example, Vs. Super Mario Bros. released after the NES version, and features a higher difficulty level compared to the original game.
0commentsThose differences might not be enough to sway some casual fans, but for arcade purists, the versions from Hamster are definitely the way to go. Not every game on this list has aged gracefully, but there are some hidden gems; personally, I've always been a big fan of Donkey Kong 3! Luckily, Switch owners have a bit of time to research these games and decide which ones they'd like to purchase, as the discounts will remain available through December 14th.
Are you planning to snag any of these arcade games? Which ones are you most excited to buy? Let us know in the comments or share your thoughts directly on Twitter and on Hive at @Marcdachamp to talk all things gaming!
