GameStop has a flash sale running on Super Mario RPG for Nintendo Switch, dropping the price to just $15 , that's 75% off the regular $59.99. For anyone who missed the SNES original and skipped the 2023 remake at launch, this is about as low as the price gets.
The remake, developed by ArtePiazza, follows Mario, Bowser, Peach, and a pair of new companions across a quest to recover seven star pieces. It's a collaboration between Square Enix and Nintendo that holds up well, and $15 puts it comfortably in impulse-buy territory. If you're already deep into Super Mario Bros. Wonder and looking for more Nintendo platformer action with RPG mechanics, this deal is hard to ignore.
The headline Nintendo Switch 2 deals
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is down to $49.99 at Best Buy, saving $20 off the $69.99 launch price. The game launched on Nintendo Switch 2 as the first entry in the Warriors series to tell a canon Zelda story, set before the events of Tears of the Kingdom. The combat has been praised for fusing Zelda mechanics with the 1-vs-1,000 style the series is known for.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for Switch 2 is also $49.99 at Best Buy, matching that $20 discount. SEGA's racer launched with a proper physical release on the game card, which is worth noting given Nintendo's recent move to price physical Switch 2 games $10 higher than digital. That same pricing gap makes the Star Fox Switch 2 pre-order at $49.94 from Amazon and Walmart worth locking in before the June 25 release.
Nintendo recently confirmed that physical Switch 2 games will cost $10 more than their digital counterparts going forward. Pre-ordering at retailers like Amazon and Walmart currently bypasses that gap on several upcoming titles.
RPG fans have a lot to work with this weekend
The Final Fantasy I-VI Collection Anniversary Edition is $46.01 at Amazon, down from $74.99. That works out to under $8 per game across all six Pixel Remaster versions, and the Switch cartridge includes everything on the card. Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is $49.99 on any platform, a solid entry point for anyone new to the series or coming off the HD-2D Erdrick Trilogy Remakes.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for Nintendo Switch 2 is $29.99 at Walmart, which includes the base game and the Episode INTERmission DLC starring Yuffie Kisaragi. With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth targeting a Switch 2 launch in early June, now is the practical window to get through Remake before the sequel arrives.
FF7 Remake Intergrade on Switch 2
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties on PS5 hits $39.99 at Amazon, the lowest price since launch. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is $39.99 at Best Buy for Nintendo Switch, with a $9.99 upgrade path available for Switch 2 owners. Ori: The Collection rounds out the Nintendo deals at $29.99 on Switch, bundling both games for $20 off.
Beyond games: anime and hardware picks
The Akira 4K Blu-ray is $9.99 at Amazon. At that price, it's genuinely hard to argue against owning one of the most influential anime films ever made in the best available format. The Suzume Blu-ray from director Makoto Shinkai is $13.49, and the Princess Mononoke Steelbook Blu-ray is $18.89 , both solid picks if you're building out a physical anime collection.
On the hardware side, the DJI Mini 3 drone with DJI RC controller is $379 at Amazon, down 31% from its $549 MSRP. The drone shoots 4K HDR video, has a 10km range, and gets up to 51 minutes of flight time with no registration required.
Pre-orders and upcoming releases to note
Splatoon Raiders pre-orders are now live at Amazon and Walmart for $49.94, ahead of the July 23 release. Three new amiibo , Frye, Shiver, and Big Man , are also available to pre-order at $24.99 each. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book for Switch 2 launches May 21, and pre-orders are currently $59.88 at Amazon and Walmart, which effectively brings the physical price back to where Nintendo games used to land before the pricing change.
For more Nintendo content to keep you busy while you wait for those releases, the Super Mario Bros. Wonder guides collection covers everything from boss locations to hidden areas worth tracking down.
