Cardslot is an independent app, not affiliated with Nintendo.
The day we counted, 3 206 Switch and Switch 2 games were on sale on the European eShop, and 3 583 on the American one. Cardslot opens on the ones worth buying — ranked, free, first screen — and tells you exactly when each sale ends.
>> THE LIST, WITHOUT THE LANDFILL
• Every current sale on the Nintendo eShop, Switch and Switch 2, from the store you choose: the European one, about 18 775 games in euros, or the American one, about 20 000 in dollars
• The deal score is free, and it is the first screen: it weighs each discount against what the game usually costs, and sets aside everything under 3 € or 3 $. −60 % off a 60 € game and −60 % off a 2 € game are the same number, not the same news.
• All five sorts are free: deal score, biggest discount, lowest price, ending soonest, amount saved
• Free filters: platform, and minimum discount
• Fourteen storefronts: ten European, plus the US, Canada, Mexico and Brazil. "View on the eShop" opens yours. Five bill in a money their catalogue does not quote, and the app marks them.
• Multi-SKU pages handled properly: when one store page sells three editions, you see the price of the one you are looking at
• The full version adds the filters that cut deeper: price bracket, crossing the price before the discount with the price after, then genre and publisher
>> THE COUNTDOWN IS THE POINT
• Every sale shows its real end date and time: "ends tonight 23:59", "ends in 6 days"
• An "ending tonight" page, because there is something ending tonight every day of the year
• The wave of the next fifteen days: when the sale endings pile up, and when it goes quiet
• No invented urgency, no fake countdown, no "12 people are looking at this game". No end date, no countdown.
>> PRICE HISTORY, SO THAT −70 % MEANS SOMETHING
• The price history of a game, with the date it starts: six recorded points are shown as six points, never as a decade of data we do not have
• The lowest price seen in the last 30 days, right next to the discount being advertised
• A "never been cheaper" verdict, and the date of the previous sale
• Buy now, or wait — the question the free score leaves open. First of the three things the full version adds
>> ONE GAME WATCHED, FREE
• Follow a game, get a notification the day its price drops. No target price to guess: any discount triggers the alert
• A second alert the day before a sale on a game you follow ends
• The first watched game is free, with exactly the same alerts as the paid ones. The full version removes the limit.
• At most one notification a day, between 9:00 and 21:00. We never send you "nothing happened this week".
>> WHAT IT COSTS, AND WHAT IT DOES NOT
• The deal list is free, in full and ranked by score on first launch. Search across the whole catalogue is free, and so are the five sorts. That is not a trial.
• No ads. Not one, anywhere, ever.
• No account, no sign-up, no email, no password. Open the app and it works.
• Six languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German
• The full version is a one-time purchase, the same price wherever you buy it. It is not a subscription, and there is no subscription.
• It unlocks three things and no fourth: the price history with its 30-day low, unlimited watched games, the filters by price bracket, genre and publisher. The deals, and the score that ranks them, stay free and fully readable, never blurred.
>> HONEST BY DESIGN
Cardslot states numbers and dates instead of adjectives. It does not tally up what it "saved" you — no account, no idea what you buy. And when the data is a few hours old, it says how old.
Stop scrolling 3 000 deals to find the six you wanted.
