I might go for Batman season 2, but then I realize it could end up on GP eventually too. Gonna check how much money I got on my Nintendo account. Can you link PayPal to your account these days?
Also, at what resolution and everything does it run at on Switch? It's not like it was very high on Xbox or PS4 to begin with, so...worse on Switch?

I don't see anything that really jumps out to me as a new Switch owner. Maybe Slay The Spire, Gorogoa (although I've never seen it on sale for less than $7.50 even on PC), and Cuphead. I also see SteamWorld Quest is on sale too and Minit. But they're not crazy historical sales.
BoTW being $42 when the physical version is going to be as cheap as $30 on Black Friday is hilarious along with Mario Tennis Aces.

Snipperclips is a great coop puzzle game, also stretchers i year is good. Also LEGO games are always a good bet, the LEGO ninjago movie game is on sale for $13 right now(I don't think the other 2 are on sale)
Diablo 3 was $30 a little while ago and now it's $40 😕
I'm thinking on getting:
Hollow Knight $15 (tried it once, didn't grab me but tried it again recently and was getting into it).
Diablo 3 $40 😕😕
Mario + Rabbids $15
Megaman 11 $15
Trials Rising $20
Super Bomberman R $10 (saw it mentioned here and haven't played one in years)
That's about all I'm considering from this sale. Really wanted to get some first party games but they are cheaper physical and I'm not sure I want to do deal with that.

I was somewhat disappointed after reading the OP, but when I went to the site totally different story,
I'm probably going to grab a bunch of the Collections {Castlevania, Contra, Mega Man, Mega Man X}, while I try to talk myself out of buying the SNK Anniversary Collection just for Crystalis
$9.99$19.99
$9.99$19.99
$23.99$39.99

Etrian 2 Untold: Fantastic game. One of my favorite in series. $10 is a steal.
Lost Child: A decent dungeon crawler. A bit easy but boss battles are difficult. The story is passable and voice acting ok. Labyrinth of Refrain is a much better dungeon rpg.
God Wars. A surprisingly decent tactics rpg. Story is kind of meh, but the battles and customization is pretty extensive.
Alliance Alive. Only played a bit of the Switch version but like it so far.
Maybe some of these might suffice:
- Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - There's an assist mode where the second player just controls the pointer and kills enemies (you can see an example here around 4:58: https://youtu.be/GNnpjBxxObs?t=299)
- Snipperclips - Cut it out, together! - Co-op game where you work together to solve puzzles by "snipping" each other into different shapes
- Kirby Star Allies - "Kirby has a new power that lets him toss a big pink star at an enemy in order to befriend it. You can have up to three friends along to help Kirby, and if you're playing the game solo, they're all controlled by the computer. But at any point, another player can hop in and take control of one of them."
That's definitely a lot of people considering the holiday season. I already have several dozen switch games in my backlog, but I'm spending the most I've spent this BF than I have in a while.
For $9.99 I may grab Bomberman, if it is similarly priced on the mexican e-shop. And that's it.
I find it sort of hilarious that the discounted price for Resident Evil 4 is the regular price of the game on PSN/XBL. Sigh. Capcom has been nothing but disappointments on the Switch so far.

They're honestly very different so it's hard to recommend only one.
FZ1 is a classic, very straightforward and has arguably the better soundtrack, but FZ2 is gorgeous and a very ambitious remake; it has an alternate worlds system where it has alternate zones within stages with varying difficulties which influence your "karma" of sorts which in turns decides which of the multiple endings you get after beating the final boss. It also has an excellent endless mode that feels like its own game. FZ2 is quite harder tho.
These games have stories too, which are very non intrusive but surprisingly enjoyable and 2 is a continuation, so there's that.
I strongly recomthat getting both, but you see which sounds more appealing to you.
Grandia HD Collection and Slay the Spire have my interest.
Of course I bought Disgaea 4 last week figuring it would not be on sale so soon after release. Oops.

I'll weigh in games people haven't replied to. SMT4: Apocalypse is a better version of SMT4's combat system: QOL improvements, fast-paced, more options, and useful ally AI (SMT4's ally AI were morons in comparison). If you can stomach the overt my power of friendship themes, it's a solid sequel. Ys VIII is another solid game that has no connection to past Ys games besides the protagonist so I've good things about it.
I think New Super Lucky's Tale looks like a good bet. Unfortunately, it launched the week after LM3 and before Pokemon Sw/Sh so it's probably going to go under the radar. But it's gotten positive impressions on podcasts I listened to and the controls are super tight and feel good. Download the demo to see if your cousin would like it but it has a light-hearted story akin to Odyssey. It doesn't have any co-op AFAIK but kids will definitely enjoy it.
Regarding the Batman Telltale titles. I played the first season on PC, is it possible for me to input my choices on the Switch version of season 2?
TSR is a blast for local coop multiplayer. It's plenty fun with single player as well and worth it at 50% off but it's not as good as Transformed.
I was skeptical of CTR, but it blows Sonic out of the water.
The drifting has a steep learning curve and thus online I've been getting wrecked. Tracks are varied and well designed. Characters have tons of alternate outfits and personality while driving.
I honestly feel more invested in a race and getting better than I have since MK DS.
I highly recommend it.
I'll check these out and see which one would be best, thank you for the recommendations!
Was hoping for a sale on Cadence of Hyrule and Box Boy. Oh well, at least I can get Snipperclips for half off.
It's on sale for Steam too. I'm undecided where to grab it.
Same with Power Rangers Battle for the Grid...
Contemplating on Buying Overwatch again on Switch for the morbid curiosity and 2K20 cause I'm usually super behind on playing NBA 2K games.
I'll definitely swap up some smaller title too, but now I wish Nintendo would fucking curate their sales list. A ton of garbage is on there and when you actually go to the eShop it's a seemingly endless loading list of crap under the "deals" tab.

The vast majority of the more notable things are highlighted in the Nintendo Holiday Gift Guide 2019 Cyber Deal page.
Finding things on their eShop page requires heavy use of filters or the search bar to locate exactly what you want in a reasonable amount of time
The best part is when you buy something... you have to scroll back down the sale page from the top to find something else.
How can I see how these prices convert to Canadian?
really wanna pick up either dragons dogma or dark souls and curious what the prices will be in cad

I made a note in the OP that the list doesn't include today's new stuff, so I'll get the 800 new items tonight.
Can anyone help me make a choice?
Wolfenstein 2, Doom, or Wolfenstein Youngblood?
I wanted to go all out on this year's sales, but I haven't event finished Pokémon Sword's story yet. I definitely don't have time to buy a bunch of games.

I was considering getting the Contra / Castlevania / Mega Man / Mega Man X legacy collections, but instead decided to go with:
Also considering Captain Toad but I already played most of it on Wii U.
- 20XX
- Mega Man 11
- 7 Billion Humans (I loved Human Resource Machine)

I bought Monkey Ball, I paid the $5 convenience tax over Target to get it digital and right now. Never played whichever Monkey Ball it's a remaster of, but I've had the worst nostalgia itch to play any Monkey Ball and $30 is alright even if it's not my Gamecube based memories.
Can't go wrong with Doom. Wolf 2 is iight but not as good as New Order. I didn't like Youngblood at all, and if you aren't playing it coop I imagine it'll be even worse. I can't comment on the Switch port quality however. I played Wolf 2 and Doom on my PS4, and Youngblood was the freebie game with my GPU.

DOOM by an incredible margin. Haven't played Youngblood, but Wolf 2 was a major letdown.
DOOM I can go on and on about how great it is.
