Conclusion.

Games never go on sale for Nintendo. They do offer the “Nintendo Selects” brand, but there's no rhyme or reason to it. The game simply needs to have sold well and have been on the market long enough that Nintendo feels it's time to reduce price.
Nintendo goes away and makes them, and either gives them 100 or less. This means the retailer only ever has just the stock they want or even sells their pre-owned stock first, and then gets in a fresh restock of new copies. This is the reason why Nintendo games are often sold out.
Physical you'll find for $15 off fairly regularly. Digitally I'd say you can expect a sale every 4-8 months.
You can't play your physical DS games on the switch. But you can play new versions you buy from the official store. The switch is considered a console, and not a handheld. Therefore it's not backwards compatible with any Gameboy systems.
GameFly is a great service with a wide variety of games, but it is not for everyone. However, if you are looking to save a little money on playing somewhat older games or those silly Nintendo games that never drop in price, then GameFly may be a service that would benefit you greatly.
