Nintendo reported a 37% year-over-year drop in Switch 2 sales for the quarter ending September 30, selling 2.67 million units. Despite this decline, the console remains 6 million units ahead of the original Switch's launch trajectory. The slowdown is attributed to price hikes driven by a global memory chip shortage, though Nintendo maintains its annual shipment target of 16.5 million units.
Multiple retailers are offering significant discounts on Nintendo Switch 2 RPGs and hardware bundles as Prime Day concludes. Kotaku highlights nine major RPG titles, including Persona 3 Reload and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, with discounts ranging from 20% to 50%. Simultaneously, CNET reports that the Switch 2 and Mario Kart World bundle is back in stock for $550, saving buyers $38. Mashable notes that preorders for the upcoming Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake are already available at a $10 discount, with a release date set for November 5.
Kotaku argues that Zelda: Ocarina of Time’s Water Temple is secretly one of the best dungeons, noting that Nintendo already fixed its two core issues in the 3DS remake—letting players map the Iron Boots to a button and making the hidden Small Key more visible—turning it from a pain point into a standout, and suggesting future remakes should preserve these improvements.
