It’s only been a month since the Indie Sale, but Nintendo of America is back with their Summer Sale, running now until 8th July! Our main selection focuses on games with guides that received either our golden ‘Two Thumbs Up’, or our sparkling ‘I Like it a Lot’.
Nintendo Summer Sale 2026
While the Summer Sale is predominately happening in North America, several featured games are discounted in other regions too, so check your local eShop for all the details.
Botany Manor
Botany Manor is a first-person puzzle game set in a Victorian English manor.
Botany Manor came up smelling of roses, when I reviewed it.
There is no denying that Botany Manor transports you to a bygone era. I had a thoroughly enjoyable time digging around to find the growing conditions of the forgotten flora, ensuring my herbarium blossomed in completeness and unearthing Arabella Greene’s life.
To help your flowers bloom, we’ve got a helpful guide.
35% discount: US $16.24 (reg $24.99)
Cat Cafe Manager
Welcome to Caterwaul Way, stranger! Heard you’ve inherited the old cat cafe. You’ll need to rebuild if you mean to give the poor stray cats a proper home and us townsfolk a tavern!
Paula aimed to be the purr-fect Cat Cafe Manager
Cafe Cat Manager is an enjoyable addition to the simulation genre on the Nintendo Switch. While playing the game, you can tell that the developers have put a lot of love into the game’s development and are cat lovers. It is a relaxing business sim with no pressure to hurry you along, and who could resist all the cute cats while you find them forever homes where they can live happily.
Needs some hints and tips, check out our guide.
70% discount: US $5.99 (reg $19.99)
Fae Farm
Your magical home awaits!
Fae Farm cast a spell on both Paula and Yvonne, as it became one of their Best Games of 2023. Paula concluded in her review:
Fae Farm is definitely worth a look if you’re a cosy game and farm sim fan. Just make sure you have ample time, as the gameplay and especially the crafting can be very addictive.
Give it a test via the demo, and check out our guide for some helpful hints.
50% discount: US $22.49 (reg $44.99)
Grow: Song of Evertree
Grow Your Own Worlds!
Grow: Song of the Evertree was sweet music to Paula:
Grow: Song of the Evertree is a sweet and wholesome game. As I’ve previously mentioned it wouldn’t be a game suited to all. But if you like helping people, making them happy, collecting resources and exploring a beautiful world then Grow: Song of the Evertree would be a game for you. Also if you have played Prideful Sloths previous game Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles you will feel right at home in the world of Alaria.
Help your Evertree grow, with our beginner’s guide.
70% discount: US $7.49 (reg $24.99) | UK £5.99 (reg £19.99) | EU € 7,49 (reg € 24,99)
Hello Kitty Island Adventure
Embark on a cozy adventure with Hello Kitty and Friends and restore an abandoned island to its former glory. Can you solve the mystery hidden within?
Hello Kitty Island Adventure continues to be one of my favourite games!
Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a wonderful combination of building friendships, questing, exploring, and collecting, all set in a bright and colourful world.
I wasn’t sure if the Hello Kitty cuteness and the daily nature of progress would work for me, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the game. Even though we are at the start of 2025, Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a strong contender for one of my games of the year.
We’ve created a Beginner’s Guide to help you get the most from Friendship Island.
Yvonne shared her thoughts on Hello Kitty in YvoCaro Plays: Hello Kitty, A History of Bows and Baffling Names, and also compares it with Animal Crossing in YvoCaro Plays: Comparing Animal Crossing and Hello Kitty.
40% discount: US $23.99 (reg $39.99)
In addition, the Deluxe Edition, Switch 2 Edition and Wheatflour Wonderland DLC are being discounted by 40%. The more recent DLC (which also received our golden ‘Two Thumbs Up’) City Town is on sale, but with only 20% discount.
Mail Time
Deliver letters across Grumblewood Grove in this cozy, cottagecore light-platformer adventure!
Mail Time stamped it’s place in my heart!
Mail Time is definitely one to write home about. The short adventure delivers you to the whimsical world of Grumblewood Grove, with its quirky houses and fascinating residents. The imagination in both the scenery and characters makes for a truly delightful experience.
To help you collect all those extras, check out our guide.
65% discount: US $6.99 (reg $19.99)
Survival Kids
Survive Together!
Alone or with friends, I thoroughly enjoyed being one of the Survival Kids
Survival Kids is bright and colourful, with lovely graphics and great audio narration. The ability to GameShare makes playing with friends and family more accessible, more enjoyable and some of the challenges easier to complete. However, Survival Kids has been carefully designed, so that you can complete the whole game by yourself.
I’ve had a blast with the bomb flowers, reached new heights with the cannons and wanted more islands to explore. Survival Kids is definitely a contender for one of my games of the year.
Our guide reveals where all the treasure stones and glyphs are.
