Super Mario RPG for $15
GameStop has a flash sale today on Super Mario RPG, and you can score one of the best Mario games on Nintendo Switch for just $15. This adventure is a collaboration between Square Enix and Nintendo, following Mario, Bowser, Peach, and new friends on a journey to find the seven star pieces. In our 8/10 review, we wrote, “Super Mario RPG is considered a classic for a reason, and this faithful remake makes it easy for anyone who missed it in the SNES era to see why.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment for $49.99
The Hyrule Warriors series returned on Nintendo Switch 2 with a true canon story in Age of Imprisonment. You can score a copy for $49.99 today at Best Buy, which saves you $20. In our 8/10 review, we wrote, “Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment’s story may fail to capture the promise of a Tears of the Kingdom prequel, but the gameplay more than makes up for that by wonderfully fusing its source material’s craziest ideas with great 1 vs. 1,000 battles, resulting in the best action of the series yet.”
Akira 4K Blu-ray for $9.99
Akira is one of the most beloved anime films of all time. In recent years, the film received a 4K Blu-ray, and today, you can pick up a copy for $9.99 at Amazon. Those just exploring the world of anime for the first time are in for a treat, and returning fans can appreciated the remastered visuals in beautiful 4K.
DJI Mini 3 Drone for $379
DJI drones are well-known for being high-quality and expensive. Today, you can score a DJI Mini 3 (DJI RC) drone for $379.99, saving you 31% off MSRP. This drone packs in a 4K HDR camera, a 10km range, and up to 51 minutes of flight time. No registration is needed for this drone, meaning you can fly without any paperwork or remote ID.
Final Fantasy I-VI Collection for $46.01
Amazon has the Final Fantasy I-VI Collection Anniversary Edition on sale for $46.01 this weekend. This collection packs in the Pixel Remasters for the original first six mainline Final Fantasy adventures, which is perfect for both longtime fans and series newcomers. Each game comes out to under $8, and the Switch version has everything on the cartidge.
Save $20 Off Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for Switch 2
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds launched late for Nintendo Switch 2, but SEGA delivered with a proper physical that’s on the game card. Right now, you can save $20 off a physical copy of CrossWorlds for Switch 2 at Best Buy. If you haven’t checked out SEGA’s wild, collab-filled racer, now is a great time.
Save $10 Off Star Fox for Switch 2
Nintendo finally revealed the long-rumored Star Fox game for Nintendo Switch 2, and Fox and crew are finally back for a new (remade) adventure. While physical copies are normally priced $10 higher than digital, you can score a physical copy of Star Fox for $49.94 from Amazon right now. It’s the perfect time to lock in your pre-order and prepare for the skies.
Ori: The Collection for $29.99
The Ori games are very beloved, and this double pack puts the two adventures together for Nintendo Switch! Right now, you can score this double pack for $29.99, which saves you $20 off the normal price. Not bad if you haven’t had the chance to check out either entry.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for $39.99
Additionally, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is on sale this weekend at Best Buy for $39.99. The latest adventure of Samus Aran takes place on the planet Viewros, and there are plenty of new powers to unlock. Nintendo Switch 2 owners can upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for $9.99.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties
Yakuza Kiwami 3 is on sale today for $39.99, marking the lowest we’ve seen this one yet. After years of fan demand for a remake, SEGA and RGG Studio delivered earlier this year with Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties. In our review, we wrote, “Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a largely successful makeover of Yakuza 3. It finds fun new ways for Kiryu to engage with the orphans in his care, which both livens up the original game’s most boring bits and also made me more deeply invested in the sharper end of its story. Combat has been transformed from a street-fighting struggle to a dynamic delight, and this slice of Okinawa presents a welcome seachange from the series’ more overused city settings.”
Save Big on a Crunchyroll Subscription
Crunchyroll raised subscription prices not that long ago, and for a limited time, new and returning subscribers can score three months of the service for $2 a month. Crunchyroll is home to hundreds of popular anime, inlcuding Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, and more. My favorite anime of the year, Fate/strange Fake, is also available on the service.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined for $49.99
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is one of the biggest RPG releases of the year so far, and this weekend you can score a copy on any platform for $49.99! This is a great entry point if you’ve never played a Dragon Quest adventure before, or if you’re keen to explore more of the series after the HD-2D Erdrick Trilogy Remakes!
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book for $59.99
We’re just a few weeks away from Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, and right now, you can save $10 off a physical copy at Walmart or Amazon. Nintendo recently announced that moving forward, physical games will be $10 more than digital games, so this deal sets you back to where physicals previously were.
Suzume for $13.49
Suzume is the latest film from Makoto Shinkai, and it is certainly one to remember. This film follows Suzume on a journey across Japan who attempts to close doors that bring disasters to the land. If you’re a fan of Your Name or Weathering With You, Suzume is an easy recommendation.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (Switch 2) for $29.99
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade dropped on Switch 2 earlier this year, and today, you can score a copy for $29.99 from Walmart. This is the definitive version of the game, featuring Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade with all its enhancements from PS5 and Episode INTERmission, starring Yuffie Kisaragi. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is set to launch on Switch 2 in early June, so now is the time to catch up.

Princess Mononoke Steelbook for $18.89
When it comes to Studio Ghibli, Princess Mononoke is one of the first films most think of. The 1997 classic directed by Hayao Miyazaki still stands the test of time today, offering a touching story focused on environmentalism. You can take home the Princess Mononoke Steelbook today for $18.89.
