Mario Switch games drop to £2.25 each in Argos deal

Argos shoppers can pick up two Super Mario Nintendo Switch games for under £5 thanks to a cashback deal that brings the price down to £2.25 per title. The Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle game usually costs £16.99, while Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope is priced at £12.99, meaning buying both normally would set shoppers back £29.98.

The offer comes through the money-saving website TopCashback, where new members who sign up receive £15 cashback when they spend £15 or more. With that bonus applied, new TopCashback members and new Argos customers can get the two games for £4.50 in total. Existing Argos account holders will pay slightly more, at £4.92 after cashback, but still secure a significant saving.

Collection and delivery details

Collecting from an Argos store is free, while delivery costs from £4.95. The Sparks Of Hope title is a tactical adventure in which players build a team of three heroes from nine characters, each with unique abilities and playstyles. An evil entity called Cursa drains energy from Sparks, hybrids of Lumas and Rabbids, and gamers must rescue them across planets.

Shoppers should note that both games are digital downloads, meaning the cases contain codes to download the titles rather than physical game cards. In Kingdom Battle, Nintendo heroes team up with chaotic doppelgangers to restore order across four twisted worlds, with players overseeing a squad of Rabbid Mario and sassy Rabbid Peach and unlocking over 250 weapons.

Customer reviews and ratings

Kingdom Battle has 222 reviews, averaging 4.6 stars out of 5, with praise including the "amazing gameplay" and "my son loves it". Some critics noted they would have preferred a physical game card. Sparks Of Hope has only 9 reviews, though its rating is also high at 4.6 out of 5, with one reviewer saying it "kept me entertained whilst recovering from surgery" and another noting "it's hard to play but fun".

Other big game launches

Elsewhere, GTA 6 (£64.99 at Argos and £64.95 at Amazon) is set to launch on November 19, with Rockstar Games bringing forward the digital pre-load date to November 10 and disc-less physical copies available as early as Thursday, November 12. FC27, the latest EA Sports FC football game, features 'the Grounds', a social football playground where the streets meet the stadium, and is currently discounted at Very from £64.99 to £58.99.
