Weekend deal hunting just got serious. A fresh crop of discounts has landed across gaming hardware, software, and home entertainment, with some hitting their lowest prices yet. Here's what's worth your money right now.
The standout hardware play is a DJI Mini 3 drone marked down to $379.99, a 31% cut from its normal asking price. The model includes a 4K HDR camera, supports up to 51 minutes of flight time, and reaches 10 kilometers out. No registration paperwork required, which means you can fly immediately without dealing with remote ID red tape.
On the gaming front, Super Mario RPG has dropped to $34.73 on Switch. The Square Enix and Nintendo collaboration brings the beloved SNES classic into modern hardware with a complete story arc following Mario, Bowser, Peach, and new characters hunting for seven star pieces. The remake captures what made the original a classic while making it accessible to anyone who missed the 16-bit version.
Physical Media Bouncing Back
Nintendo's recent shift to $10 premium pricing on physical games has retailers racing to clear existing stock at competitive rates. Best Buy is cutting $20 off physical copies of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for Switch 2, delivering SEGA's collab-heavy racer on actual game cards. Star Fox on Switch 2 is selling for $49.94 at Amazon, undercutting the new higher physical tier by $10. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book sits at $59.99 across Walmart and Amazon, letting early adopters lock in pre-orders at the old price point before the bump kicks in.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade landed on Switch 2 earlier this year and is now available for $29.99 at Walmart. This version bundles the full remake alongside Episode INTERmission featuring Yuffie Kisaragi, all ported from PS5. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is scheduled to hit Switch 2 in early June, making now the logical catch-up window.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is available for $49.99 across all platforms this weekend. The RPG heavyweight offers a solid entry point into the Dragon Quest franchise, especially for players who enjoyed the HD-2D Erdrick trilogy remakes.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties has reached its lowest price yet at $39.99. RGG Studio and SEGA delivered a comprehensive overhaul of the 2009 original, transforming combat mechanics from sluggish street fighting into dynamic encounters while reimagining the orphanage subplot into something genuinely engaging. The Okinawa setting provides a welcome visual and thematic break from the series' usual city-focused narratives.
For anime fans, Amazon has the complete Neon Genesis Evangelion Blu-ray collection down to $30. The set includes all 26 episodes of the original series plus both End of Evangelion films. This represents one of anime's most essential titles at a price that makes entry effortless.
Suzume, the latest feature from Makoto Shinkai, is available for $13.49. Following a character across Japan as she closes doors unleashing disasters, the film marks Shinkai's return to theatrical storytelling after Your Name and Weathering With You.
Splatoon Raiders pre-orders have opened ahead of the July 23 release. The series' first single-player-focused entry will come as both a standard Switch 2 cartridge and alongside three new amiibo figures featuring Frye, Shiver, and Big Man, all arriving the same day.
Author Emily Chen: "The weekend's real win is seeing physical games priced back down to reasonable levels before Nintendo's official $10 hike cements in. Grab them now while the transition window is still open."
