From massive open-world games to small, short indie games, numerous games have been launched on the Nintendo Switch over the years. Most big-budget games on Nintendo Switch usually remain at full price and hardly go on sale.

There are abundant games that fall under the easy-on-the-pocket category, and this article discusses five of the best ones.
