Spring is in the air, and so are savings on digital games for Nintendo Wii U and 3DS. Boot up your eShop of choice and score first-party games like Mario Kart 8 for $42, Mario Party 10 for $35, Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. for $28.

Those savings are okay, discounted at 30 percent but there are better deals to be found. Duck Tales Remastered, normally $15, sells for only $5 during the sale. These and other savings will run through Thursday, April 21, at 8:59a Pacific.

As a reminder, My Nintendo—the rewards program that succeeded Club Nintendo—gives you gold points in exchange for purchasing digital titles, so keep that in mind if you're thinking of pre-purchasing Star Fox Zero for Wii U. It'll run you $49.99, a $10 savings on the physical package.
