A weekend deal roundup just landed, and there are some genuinely good picks buried in here. The highlights span Nintendo Switch 2 exclusives, beloved RPG remakes, and even a drone if your gaming budget has room to breathe.
The Sonic Racing deal that actually makes sense
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is currently $20 off at Best Buy for Nintendo Switch 2. The physical version is worth highlighting specifically because SEGA put the full game on the cartridge rather than shipping a partial download code, which has become frustratingly rare with Switch 2 releases. That decision alone makes the physical copy worth considering.
If you've been on the fence about SEGA's collab-heavy kart racer, this is a reasonable entry point. The game launched with a surprisingly wide roster of crossover characters and a dimension-hopping gimmick that sets it apart from the team-based Sonic Team Racing. You'll want to check out our pro tips and tricks guide before jumping in, since the drift-chain and dimension-shift mechanics have a steeper learning curve than the game's colorful presentation suggests.
Best Buy's $20 discount brings CrossWorlds for Switch 2 down to a more palatable price point, but stock on physical Switch 2 games has been inconsistent. If you want it, move sooner rather than later.
RPG deals worth your attention
Super Mario RPG is sitting at $34.73 right now, which is a solid drop for a remake that holds up well. The Square Enix and Nintendo collaboration brings back the SNES original with updated visuals and the same tight combat that made it a classic. If you skipped it on launch, this price makes it easy to justify.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is down to $49.99 across all platforms. It's one of the bigger RPG releases of the year and a reasonable starting point for anyone new to the series, especially with the HD-2D Erdrick Trilogy Remakes having pulled a lot of players into the Dragon Quest world recently.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is at $39.99, which is reportedly the lowest price it has hit. SEGA and RGG Studio rebuilt Yakuza 3 from the ground up earlier this year after years of fan requests, and the remake adds enough new content around Kiryu's orphanage storyline to make it worth revisiting even if you played the original.
Hardware and everything else
The DJI Mini 3 (DJI RC bundle) is down to $379.99, a 31% discount off its standard price. It shoots 4K HDR video, has a 10km range, and offers up to 51 minutes of flight time. Registration is not required, which removes a barrier that puts some buyers off entry-level drones.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for Switch 2 is at $29.99 from Walmart. With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth set to arrive on Switch 2 in early June, this is a practical time to get caught up. The Switch 2 version includes the full PS5-enhanced build plus the Yuffie-focused Episode INTERmission.
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is $10 off physical at Walmart and Amazon ahead of its release in a few weeks. Nintendo has started pricing physical Switch 2 games $10 above their digital counterparts, so this deal effectively closes that gap.
Star Fox for Switch 2 physical copies are available at $49.94 from Amazon, $10 less than the standard physical price. Pre-orders are live now ahead of the game's launch.
Crunchyroll is also running a promotion for new and returning subscribers: three months of access for $2 per month, which is worth flagging given the recent price increase the service pushed through.
