Nintendo eShop Blockbuster Sale Cuts Mortal Kombat, Darksiders 2 to Record Lows
Author:News DeskCategory:News, Date: 31st August, 2026
Nintendo has launched a fresh “Blockbuster Sale” on the North American eShop, and it’s already dragging some long-running compilations down to their cheapest prices ever. According to Nintendo’s own storefront, the promotion covers Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 digital titles and runs “from now until Sept. 9 at 11:59 p.m. PT,” with highlights including record-low cuts on Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition and the Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection.
The discount event was independently confirmed by My Nintendo News, which reported that the latest sale is live on the Nintendo eShop, with the Blockbuster Sale running until 9th September. Nintendo’s own newsroom post reiterates the same window, telling shoppers to “go big with deals on hit digital games for the Nintendo Switch™ 2 and Nintendo Switch systems” before the cutoff.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Falls to $27.49 on Both Switch and Switch 2
The headline grab for fighting-game fans is Digital Eclipse’s retro compilation, which price-tracking site GG.deals lists at a 45% discount, bringing it down from its $49.99 sticker to $27.49 on both Switch and Switch 2 storefronts, flagged as a historical low for the package.
For context on what’s inside the bundle, Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is a 2025 compilation developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Atari, originally released by Midway between 1992 and 2003, which launched digitally on October 30, 2025, for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, with a physical release following on December 12. The collection bundles the original arcade and home versions of the earliest Mortal Kombat games alongside extensive archival material on the franchise’s history, making this the first time the digital package has dipped to $27.49 since it launched at full price less than a year ago.
