Nintendo is currently holding a Square Enix Sale on the eShop in celebration of Japan's Golden Week. Lasting from April 29 to May 5, the promotion includes deep discounts on plenty of titles - and that includes Balan Wonderworld.
Golden Week is a week of traditional holidays in Japan that lasts the span of an entire week. There are a total four holidays, ending with Children's Day on May 5. Many stores have special sales to celebrate, and that includes the Nintendo eShop. While Golden Week is only celebrated in Japan, who wouldn't want discounted video games?

This sale includes the critically panned Balan Wonderworld, which released back in March. It's only been out for a little over a month, and we are already seeing deep discounts on Yuji Naka's unusual platformer.
Now it's not that uncommon for a recent release to be included in such sales. Unfortunately, Balan Wonderworld has been met with harsh feedback, with negative reviews and only 2,100 copies being sold during the first week after release.
Here at TheGamer, we reviewed the game as "Spyro The Dragon meets Chibi JRPG", giving it 2.5 stars out of 5. If you are interested in playing Balan Wonderworld, this sale lowers the price to just $40. It's still a bit steep, but far below its initial launch price.
In addition to Balan Wonderworld, there is a selection of other Square Enix games on offer for up to 60 percent off. Other games including World of Final Fantasy Maxima, Collection of Mana, and I am Setsuna. Be sure to check the Nintendo eShop to see all the games available during this sale. Remember, it wraps up on May 5, so head over to the eShop before it then.
If you aren't a Nintendo Switch player, Balan Wonderworld is currently on sale across all platforms. Sony is holding a Golden Week sale of its own on the PlayStation Store, with discounts found across a variety of Japanese titles.
Interested in more sales? Through May 7, you can head over to Humble Bundle and get the Built to Bundle. This bundle includes several Lego games, including The Lego Ninjago Movie Video Game and Lego Marvel's Avengers.
