Nintendo Switch Games You Should Grab Before They Disappear Forever (Like That Last Slice of Pizza)
Let’s face it — the Nintendo eShop is starting to feel like a dodgy rental flat. Games come and go, things vanish without notice, and suddenly you can’t find that quirky gem you swore you’d play “next weekend.”
Whether it’s licensing issues, low print runs, or just Nintendo being Nintendo, some great Switch titles are disappearing faster than Joy-Con drift excuses. But fear not! We’ve rounded up some must-have Switch games — including a few that have already been deleted digitally — that you can still grab sealed, physical, and ready for action.
1. "Super Mario 3D All-Stars"
Yep, it’s already gone from the eShop like your dignity after rage-quitting Mario Kart. But physical copies still exist — for now. Three Mario classics in one package: 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy. It’s basically the Nintendo museum exhibit you can play in your pants.
2. "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game – Complete Edition"
This game got deleted once already and fans basically started a cult to bring it back. Who knows how long it'll stick around this time? Grab it sealed and feel smug when it’s mysteriously gone again.
3. "Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE Encore"
It’s Persona meets Fire Emblem meets... singing competitions? This one confused a lot of people, which means it didn’t get the love it deserved. Now it's creeping toward "Wait, where did it go?" status.
4. "Cadence of Hyrule"
The Zelda rhythm game that no one expected but everyone should play. The physical version includes DLC and will almost certainly become a collector’s item when people realise how good it is.
5. "Jump Force Deluxe Edition"
It was pulled from digital stores like it owed someone money. But if you love anime fights that look like they were choreographed by an over-caffeinated 12-year-old, this is your game.
6. "Deltarune (Chapter 1 & 2)"
Still a work in progress — and technically free digitally — but physical releases of these indie darlings are like gold dust. Get ahead of the curve (and the resale market).
7. "No More Heroes 1 & 2"
Digital versions? Who knows. Physical? Still floating around. Stylish, ridiculous, and full of lightsaber-ish action that’s definitely not a lightsaber, Nintendo, we promise.
8. "Bayonetta (1) Physical Release"
Did you blink? Because this thing was in stock and then gone again. Digital’s there... for now. But collectors know: the first Bayonetta in a Switch case is pure shelf candy.
9. "The Wonderful 101: Remastered"
Kickstarted into existence, misunderstood by many, and now quietly becoming rare. You’ll either love it or scream into a pillow. Either way, worth a look.
10. Literally any game by Limited Run Games
They release amazing niche games in tiny batches. And when they’re gone, they’re gone. We’re talking "second-hand seller asking triple the price" levels of gone.
