Cardslot review
A focused mobile tracker for Nintendo eShop deals, alerts, history, and sale timing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Cardslot is a mobile app for tracking Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 eShop prices and promotions. It is aimed at Nintendo players who want a quicker way to find discounts, follow specific games, and judge whether a current sale is worth considering. The free plan includes a ranked deal list, catalogue search, and alerts for one tracked game. Cardslot supports iOS and Android, covers European and American eShop storefronts, and supports multiple languages.
Its strongest buyer value is the combination of deal discovery and timing information. Deals can be ranked by discount, regular price, and eShop rank, while search, sorting, and platform filters help narrow the catalogue. Cardslot also shows sale end dates and provides a 15-day forecast for deals that are approaching their end. Notifications cover both price drops for followed games and alerts before followed deals finish, giving the app a useful role for shoppers who do not want to monitor promotions manually.
The free and paid plans create a clear progression. Free users get the core ranked deal list, catalogue search, and one tracked game. The Full version adds price history, unlimited tracked games, and filters for price, genre, and publisher through a one-time purchase. Cardslot is a good fit for Nintendo-focused mobile shoppers who care about digital eShop discounts and regional coverage. It is less suitable for anyone comparing prices across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, or physical retailers, since its scope centers on Nintendo eShop storefronts.
