Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, released on October 22, can now be bought for £26.11 through the deals site TopCashback, undercutting Nintendo's £49.99 launch price for the physical game.
Argos has already priced the game at £41.49, but new TopCashback members can reduce the cost further. The platform offers a £15 sign-up bonus redeemable on a first purchase, alongside cashback, bringing the effective price down to £26.11 for new TopCashback and Argos customers. New TopCashback members who are existing Argos customers can get it for £26.32.
The prices are based on click and collect orders; home delivery adds £4.95 postage, though even with delivery the total remains below Nintendo's retail price.
How the TopCashback deal works
Shoppers register as new TopCashback members via the site's link, search for Argos, select 'Get Cashback Now' and buy the Nintendo Switch game. Cashback typically tracks and appears in TopCashback accounts within seven working days of purchase.
What Nintendo Switch Sports Resort offers
The game is a sequel to 2022's Nintendo Switch Sports and a follow-up to the Wii Sports Resort. It features a 12-sport collection including golf, bowling and tennis, with precise Joy-Con tracking and split-screen multiplayer for family game nights.
Additional sports include power cruising and skateboarding, the latter using Joy-Con 2 mouse controls to lean and glide around the course. The game is priced at £34.95 on Amazon.
Early player and critic responses
Early responses on Metacritic have been positive. One player wrote: "As someone who played the original Wii Sports when it first released, and was awed by the rudimentary real-life movements being mimicked on screen." Another said: "A fun but unambitious new sports game collection that features the best motion controls the series has ever seen, but disappointingly few surprises."
Tom Hutchison of The Daily Star remarked: "A big benefit of this game of course remains the physicality of the rivalry between household members." He added: "Archery too felt great, pulling your arms apart holding two controllers to fire an arrow. Very good. But others fell flat on me. Basketball didn't gel well at all, with odd ways of moving through the court hindering the feel of a real game. And the whole mouse-is-skateboard thing felt like a way of trying to justify the Joy-Con 2 mouse controls a bit too much."
