If you've got a case of the midweek blues, one of the best Nintendo Switch games can be a great pick-me-up. And lucky for you, Target have a great sale on that discounts a bunch of our favorite Switch titles.

My colleague Rory Mellon has emphasized why Persona is the perfect game series for winter, so I highly recommend picking up Persona 5 Royal for $24 at Target. This RPG/social sim is a steal at $35 off its original asking price, as it'll keep you entertained for dozens of hours. Plus, why not gather some friends and family and get Super Mario Party for $39 at Target? This party board game can get competitive, but there's no way you won't have an enjoyable time grabbing stars and playing mini-games.
