The weekend shopping haul is live, with significant markdowns across major gaming releases and collectibles. Retailers are pushing aggressive discounts on everything from Nintendo exclusives to LEGO sets, making this a prime moment for players looking to expand their libraries without the full hit.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade leads the pack at $29.99 via Walmart for Nintendo Switch 2. The port arrived on the console earlier this year and represents the most complete version of the game, bundling in all PlayStation 5 enhancements alongside Episode INTERmission, which centers on character Yuffie Kisaragi. The timing matters: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is scheduled to launch on Switch 2 in early June, making this an ideal entry point for players wanting to catch up before the sequel arrives.
Nintendo's own Mario catalog is getting the bundle treatment. Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 together are dropping to $54.99 at Woot, a significant break from the standard retail price. Both titles released on Switch last fall and remain among the franchise's strongest entries. Better still, Switch 2 owners can take advantage of a free update that unlocks 4K support on the double pack.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 sits at $44.99 and deserves consideration for any Switch owner serious about RPGs. The game's reputation took a hit when running on Switch 2 initially, but a recent Handheld Mode Boost feature has dramatically improved its visual presentation. The combat system runs deep, the narrative hooks hard, and the character roster has aged into genuine cultural touchstones within gaming communities.
Splatoon 3 undercuts typical pricing at $39.88 through Walmart. This remains one of the strongest competitive multiplayer experiences on the Switch ecosystem, packed with mode variety, a substantial arsenal of weapons to unlock, and notably smoother performance on Switch 2 hardware.
The LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 set at $79.99 on Amazon represents a $20 savings. The 1050-piece construction includes minifigures for Darth Malak and R2-D2, along with a buildable droid model featuring a 360-degree rotating head and a detachable third leg for display authenticity.
Outside gaming, Dan Da Dan Season 2 Blu-ray is now open for pre-order ahead of its July 14 launch. The collector's edition packages the full 12-episode season with a booklet, sticker sheets, and bonus features for fans following Momo Ayase and Okarun's ongoing supernatural misadventures.
Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, the PS5 remake, is priced at $23 on Amazon. The revamp brings modernized visuals and reworked combat mechanics that reshape how the platformer plays compared to its original iteration.
