A fresh round of weekend deals has arrived, and this time the discounts span everything from new Nintendo releases to premium PC hardware and anime collectibles. The standout offers suggest retailers are clearing inventory ahead of major summer releases.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is hitting $44.99 at Walmart, marking a rare price cut for the Nintendo Switch platformer. The remake bundles all 80 levels from the original game plus 3DS-exclusive stages. Those with a Nintendo Switch 2 can leverage a patch released earlier this year to play the title in 4K, making the deal even more attractive for early adopters of the new hardware.
Amazon is also undercutting Splatoon Raiders ahead of its July 23 launch, with physical Nintendo Switch 2 copies down $10. The game marks a departure for the series with its first dedicated single-player campaign. New amiibo figures of Frye, Shiver, and Big Man are arriving the same day, offering collectors another reason to watch pre-order prices this week.
Outside the gaming space, a complete Tokyo Ghoul manga box set is available for $77.74, slashing over $100 off the usual price. The 14-volume collection includes an exclusive double-sided poster and covers the entire Ken Kaneki storyline from creator Sui Ishida's acclaimed series.
LEGO enthusiasts will find the Star Wars R2-D2 set marked down $20 to $79.99 on Amazon. The 1050-piece build includes minifigures of both R2-D2 and Darth Malak, with a rotating head and detachable third leg for the droid itself.
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is heading to 4K Blu-ray in July, and Amazon has the theatrical supercut available for pre-order at $39.99, down $10 from MSRP. The release pairs both films into a single 4.5-hour epic.
For PC gamers, the PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 XT dropped to $689.99 on Amazon. While still above MSRP, the price represents a meaningful discount in a market where AI and data center demand have inflated graphics card costs. The card handles 4K gaming with ray tracing enabled across modern titles without compromise.
AirPods Pro 3 are discounted to $189 at Amazon. The third-generation earbuds bring a built-in heart rate sensor, redesigned eartips for improved noise cancellation, and upgraded sound quality over the previous model.
Author Emily Chen: "Nintendo's aggressive pricing on Switch 2 software suggests the company is confident in the new hardware's legs, but the real story here is that PC gaming components are finally becoming reasonable to own again."
