The Legend of Zelda Nintendo Switch price cut

Nintendo Switch prices have started to tumble in the UK, as sites like Amazon and Argos cut the price of Switch games.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the most high profile launch title on Switch, but had previously been given a £60 price tag on Amazon.

However, Argos has since reduced the price of The Legend of Zelda, cutting the upcoming Switch game to £49.99.

Amazon has since followed suit, reducing the price from £60 to £50 ahead of the March 3 release date.

It's still £10 more expensive than the Wii U version, which is being advertised for £40.

Let's hope more games drop in price ahead of the Nintendo Switch launch.

It was recently revealed that the Nintendo Switch games list has expanded, after a new launch title was announced by Nintendo.

Previously without a release date, NBA 2K18 has been confirmed for the Nintendo Switch's March 3 launch.

"NBA 2K18 – Nintendo Switch lands in the UK on March 3rd! We're excited to be bringing NBA 2K18 to Nintendo's latest console this September!" reads a 2K tweet.
