I love all things Mario. Those games pulled me into the world of gaming. Mario filled my childhood with joy. I remember rushing home from school just to grab a controller and jump in. The games felt like a warm break from the day. March 10 marks the day we celebrate the world’s favorite Italian plumber. Fans mark the day with events and price cuts on Mario games and accessories for the Nintendo Switch. The date even forms a fun pun—Mar10. With that in mind, here are some of the best Mario Day deals 2026.

Super Mario Party Jamboree—Nintendo Switch 2
Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Nintendo Switch 2 brings a huge party packed with charm and fun. The moment the game starts, it fills the room with bright energy.
The game packs 22 playable characters, Pro Rules for tough matchups, and a solo mode for local play. Each type of player can find a mode that fits. I enjoy the mix of old school party games and fresh ideas that use the Switch 2 motion and touch tools. The return of the classic turn based mode with new quality of life touches blends past and present in a great way.
2. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition—Nintendo Switch 2

Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition—Nintendo Switch 2
From the clips I watched, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition gives me strong GTA 5 vibes, and I hold great memories with GTA games. When Grand Theft Auto: Vice City launched, the chance to fly planes, pilot choppers, and drive cars across a wide map felt huge. The graphics also blew my mind at the time. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition sparks that same sense of scale and freedom.
The game brings a rich story, deep characters, upgrades, and wild fights. You form bonds with a cast full of dreams, pain, and strong backstories. The lineup even includes Keanu Reeves as rocker Johnny Silverhand and Idris Elba as agent Solomon Reed.
3. NBA 2K26—Nintendo Switch

NBA 2K26—Nintendo Switch
If you own the first Nintendo Switch, you still sit in a great spot. More than 150 million players own the first Switch, so Nintendo will not walk away from that crowd. A strong title such as NBA 2K26 makes sense for that system. The graphics top 2K25, and the game adds new animations that make play feel smooth.
You can build your legend in MyCAREER and craft a MyPLAYER who leads an NBA team to the Finals. Chase team wins and personal awards, raise banners, and earn a place in the Hall of Fame. When you want some group play, team up with friends and face rival squads to prove who rules the court.
4. Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered—Nintendo Switch

Tomb Raider IV–VI Remastered—Nintendo Switch
Tomb Raider always drew me in through adventure. The stories, wild places, and sense of discovery stay with me to this day. Those moments feel hard to forget. This set, like the past collection, adds new features. Tomb Raider IV–VI includes Photo Mode plus a new Flyby Camera Maker.
The Flyby Camera Maker lets players craft custom cutscenes inside the game. The feature targets a small group of fans, yet I like that the team placed it in the package.
Before you go
When I think about Mario, a flood of gaming memories comes back to me. I still grab a controller and feel the same excitement I felt during my first runs on the Nintendo Switch. Mario games bring color, humor, and pure fun into my day, and that magic has never faded for me.

I look at these deals and feel the same rush I felt as a kid racing home from school. If you share even a bit of that love for Mario, this is the perfect moment to press start and play.
