The gaming landscape is packed with bargains this weekend, with SEGA's latest crime drama hitting its best discount yet while anime fans and retro collectors grab steep savings across physical media and classic franchises.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties dropped to $39.99, representing the deepest price cut the remake has seen since its early-year launch. The reimagining of the third entry in the crime saga delivers a significant overhaul from the original, with completely revamped combat mechanics that shift the experience from clunky street brawling to fluid, engaging encounters. The orphanage subplot, previously a drag on pacing, now breathes fresh energy into the campaign and builds genuine emotional stakes for the story's heavier moments. Okinawa serves as a refreshing alternative to the Tokyo-centric locations that defined much of the series' earlier output.
Nintendo's upcoming Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is discounted $10 at major retailers, bringing physical copies down to $59.99. The timing is strategic: Nintendo announced that going forward, physical games will carry a $10 premium over digital editions, making this deal effectively reset prices to where they stood before the increase takes hold.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade arrived on Switch 2 earlier this year, and Walmart is currently offering it for $29.99. The port includes all PS5 enhancements plus Episode INTERmission, the Yuffie Kisaragi-starring companion campaign. With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth arriving on the platform in early June, now is the window to experience the first installment before the sequel launches.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined stands out as one of 2025's biggest RPG releases and is available across all platforms for $49.99 this weekend. Whether diving into the series for the first time or returning after exploring the HD-2D Erdrick Trilogy Remakes, the discount provides an accessible entry point.
Animation and film enthusiasts have several worthwhile options. Suzume, Makoto Shinkai's latest feature, is available on disc for $13.49. The film traces a young woman's cross-country mission to seal doors that unleash catastrophe across Japan, continuing Shinkai's tradition of sweeping romance and fantasy visuals. Fans of Your Name and Weathering With You will find familiar emotional resonance.
The JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders Blu-ray collection is marked down across Amazon, with both sets available at $15.99 apiece for a combined $32 purchase. All 48 episodes of the beloved Part 3 adaptation are included, featuring some of the franchise's most iconic characters and moments.
The 86: Eighty-Six Blu-ray collection brings all 23 episodes home for $25.99. The anime delivers compelling narrative depth, atmospheric worldbuilding, and a standout soundtrack that elevates its military sci-fi premise.
Music collectors can grab the Woodkid Death Stranding 2 vinyl for $32.07. Woodkid co-composed the game's score, with tracks like 'To the Wilder' and 'Story of Rainy' anchoring key moments throughout the experience.
Superman fans have a rare opportunity with the five-film 4K UHD Steelbook Collection priced at $108.68. The set includes Superman: The Movie, Superman II, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, Superman III, and Superman IV: The Quest For Peace across four Steelbook packages.
Nintendo Switch 2 shoppers can save $20 on the Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 Bundle, a limited-time offer that bundles the console with the galactic platformer duo. Splatoon Raiders is also open for pre-order ahead of its July launch, with physical Switch 2 copies and three new amiibo of Frye, Shiver, and Big Man releasing July 23rd.
Author Emily Chen: "The Yakuza remake finally justifies its existence at this price point, and if you've skipped it waiting for a discount, this is your moment to pull the trigger."
