Gaming deals are firing on all cylinders this weekend, with major releases and beloved franchises hitting steep discounts across retailers. Whether you're hunting for action-packed adventures or RPG epics, there's something for every type of player right now.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment launched on Nintendo Switch 2 with a proper canon story, and Best Buy is knocking $20 off the $69.99 asking price, bringing it down to $49.99. The game fuses dynasty warrior-style 1 vs. 1,000 battles with the wildest ideas from the Zelda series, delivering what critics are calling the franchise's strongest action to date.
If you missed the SNES original, Super Mario RPG is a steal at $34.73 on Switch. This Square Enix collaboration brings Mario, Bowser, and Peach on a seven-star quest with charm and gameplay that justify why the 1996 version became a classic. The remake makes that legacy accessible to anyone who skipped it the first time.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds just hit Switch 2, and SEGA got the physical release right with a game card version. Best Buy is chopping $20 off the standard $59.99 price tag, making it a solid opportunity to experience what may be the franchise's wildest racer yet.
For RPG fans craving something deeper, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined lands at $49.99 across all platforms this weekend. Whether you're new to the Dragon Quest universe or returning after the recent HD-2D Erdrick remakes, this is one of the year's major releases at a fair entry price.
Star Fox is finally here on Switch 2 after years of speculation. Amazon is selling physical copies for $49.94, which actually matches what digital costs on other platforms due to Nintendo's recent $10 price hike for physical games on the new hardware. Now's the time to pre-order and prepare to take to the skies.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond just dropped at Best Buy for $39.99 on original Switch, with Switch 2 owners able to upgrade to the Switch 2 Edition for an additional $9.99. Samus heads to planet Viewros for her latest adventure, packed with fresh powers to discover.
Final Fantasy I-VI Collection Anniversary Edition hit Amazon for $46.01 this weekend. Six legendary games in Pixel Remaster form comes out to less than $8 per title, and the Switch cartridge includes everything without requiring downloads.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade arrived on Switch 2 earlier this year and is now $29.99 at Walmart, complete with the PS5 enhancements and Yuffie Kisaragi's Episode INTERmission. With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth heading to Switch 2 in early June, this is the perfect moment to catch up on Remake's reimagined story.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is hitting its lowest price yet at $39.99 after years of fan clamoring for a remake. SEGA and RGG Studio completely overhauled the aging third entry, transforming its clunky combat into something dynamic while deepening your investment in Kiryu's story and his relationships with the orphans in his care.
Beyond games, anime and film deals are flowing too. Suzume, the latest film from Your Name director Makoto Shinkai, is available for $13.49. The story follows Suzume across Japan as she closes supernatural doors threatening the land.
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book launches in just weeks, and Walmart and Amazon are each knocking $10 off physical copies right now. That discount basically restores the pre-price-hike cost, making it worth locking in early.
Looking ahead, Splatoon Raiders pre-orders are now live for the July 23 release. Three new amiibo of Frye, Shiver, and Big Man will ship alongside the first single-player-focused game in the series, giving collectors three reasons to jump in on day one.
Author Emily Chen: "The Switch 2 library is finally getting the depth and variety that justify early adoption, and these prices make it hard not to fill out your collection this weekend."
