Yo, Nintendo doods, how often do e-shop sales happen?

Just got my Switch and there's a bunch of games I want, wondering if it's worth waiting for a sale for most of them (and just buying 3D All Stars today) or if there's not much point in waiting?

For 3rd parties and flop 1st parties, they happen on weekly basis with seasonal big discounts from some publishers every 2 or 3 months

For Nintendo non-evergreen first parties who stopped shipping many units each quarter and some 3rd parties like the world ends with you, they happen once or twice a year. I think Splatoon is the only evergreen to get discounted that often 

For evergreen titles they don't get discounted unless it's a very special occasion and it's generally many years after the original release so no point waiting them

My advice is not buying anything unless you want to play them right now or it is discounted. Better buy one, beat it, then get another, so maybe you can grab at least one or two discounted somewhere in the future
