Many people forget that the Nintendo Switch eShop has a special Wish List feature.
This lets you save games that you want to purchase in the future.
Then Nintendo will notify you when those games go on sale, so you can wait for a deal.
That way you can avoid having to pay full price for the games that you want to buy.
You’ll get the best value from Wish List if you use it regularly, keep it up-to-date, and make sure you’ve got every possible title you might ever want to buy on there.
This gives you the best chances of saving money on Nintendo Switch games.
