How to Check a Switch Game's Price History and Lowest-Ever Price

A discount only means something if you know what the game normally costs. The most useful habit for any eShop shopper is simple: before you buy, check the Switch game price history and the lowest-ever price. This guide shows you how.

Why Price History Matters

The eShop shows you today's price and a discount percentage. What it does not show is whether that price is genuinely good. Publishers repeat the same discount throughout the year, so "40% off" can be a completely ordinary price. Price history turns the question from "is this on sale?" into the one that matters: "is this as cheap as it has ever been?"

NTPrices checks public eShop prices across 40+ regions multiple times a day and records every change. Over time that builds a complete timeline for each Switch and Switch 2 game — every full price, every discount, and the lowest price ever recorded.

Reading a Game's Price History on NTPrices

Open any game on NTPrices and you will see:

• The price-history chart. A timeline of the game's price, with every discount marked. A glance tells you how often it drops and how deep those drops go.
• The lowest-ever price. The single best price we have recorded in your region. If today matches it, you are buying at the floor.
• The current price and discount. Always live, checked continuously.
• Regional prices. The same game in other countries' eShops, each converted to your currency, so you can spot when another store is cheaper.

There is no cut-off or rolling window — the full history is always there.

Turn Price History Into Alerts

You do not have to check manually. With a free account you can:

1. Add games to your wishlist. Keep everything you are waiting on in one place.
2. Set a target price. Get an email the moment a game drops below it, in any of your regions.
3. Catch all-time lows. The deals feed can be filtered to games currently at their lowest-ever price.

Browse what is at an all-time low right now on the eShop deals page.

A Simple Buying Routine

1. Found a game you want? Open its page and look at the price-history chart.
2. Compare today's price to the lowest-ever figure.
3. If it is at or near the low, buy. If not, wishlist it and set an alert.
4. Check whether another region is cheaper on the eShop by country page — Switch games are not region-locked.

That four-step habit consistently beats buying on impulse during a sale.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I see a Switch game's price history?

Open the game on NTPrices. Every Switch and Switch 2 game has a price-history chart showing every past discount and its lowest-ever price, built from public eShop prices we check across 40+ regions several times a day.

What does "lowest-ever price" mean?

It is the cheapest price NTPrices has recorded for that game in your region since tracking began. If the current price matches it, today is the best time to buy on price. It is the fastest way to tell a genuine deal from a routine discount.

Does NTPrices track Switch 2 price history too?

Yes. NTPrices tracks full price history for both Switch and Switch 2 games, including regional prices converted to your currency.

Can I get an alert when a game hits a low price?
