Do the Olympics have you in the mood for some friendly competition? The My Nintendo Store is running a massive sale on multiplayer games so you can duke it out with pals from the comfort of your couch (or cardboard bed).
Live now through Sunday, Aug. 11, orthe day the Paris Games wrap up,Nintendo's Play Together Sale takes up to 84% off popular co-op titles and DLCs for its Switch console. (Note that it's advertising "savings of up to 50%," but we spotted a handful of discounts that are even higher.) The lineup runs the gamut across many genres, but goes particularly heavy on sporty stuff; think Nintendo Switch Sports and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 — the final entry in the "Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games" series, apparently.
Prices start at just $3.24, and most deals were matched at Best Buy and Target when we last checked. Scroll down for our hand-picked list of the highlights.

$23.99 at My Nintendo Store
$59.99 Save $36.00
Why we like it:
The International Olympics Committee is reportedly dumping Mario & Sonic for NFTs and esports, but we're not ready to move on just yet. Its final collab with Nintendo and Sega is set at the 2020 Summer Games and features over 30 events, including karate, gymnastics, archery, and equestrian jumping. This appears to be one of its biggest discounts ever, at least compared to its historical pricing on Amazon.

'Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble'
$37.49 at My Nintendo Store
$49.99 Save $12.50

According to our sister site, IGN, this all-new arcade platformer is "a brilliant return to form with the best stages and controls the [Super Monkey Ball] series has seen in over 20 years." It launched just over a month ago, and it's already on sale for 25% off.

'Nintendo Switch Sports'
$27.99 at My Nintendo Store
$39.99 Save $12.00
Why we like it:
Read Mashable's full review of Nintendo Switch Sports.
The Wii version was eons better, but Switch Sports makes a fun, goofy party game for up to four in-person players. A recent free update added basketball to its roster, joining football, volleyball, badminton, bowling, and golf.

'Dead by Daylight'
$11.99
$29.99 Save $18.00
Why we like it:
Equal parts sweaty and silly, DBD is a cult-favorite asymmetrical survival game that's a real "who's who" of horror. (Chucky! Alan Wake! Nicolas Cage!) A new limited-time 2v8 Mode lowers the learning curve for killers and ups the chaos factor for survivors.

'Fae Farm'
$41.99 at My Nintendo Store
$59.99 Save $18.00
Why we like it:
This magical farming sim from last fall is a cozy gamer must-play. It just got its second major update with new characters, regions, outfits, potions, and more, and it's completely free for Team Switch (not PC).
