Amazon and Best Buy have kicked off a new sale on some notable first-party Switch games. The lineup includes The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, and Miitopia. Along with physical versions, the digital eShop releases are included in the sale at Best Buy.

Almost all of these titles can be had for $39.99. Miitopia is the one exception as that’s been lowered to $29.99. Nearly everything here typically costs $60, though Miitopia is again the exception as that one started out at $50.

Live A Live HD-2D

Following the announcement of Live A Live’s HD-2D remake, Japanese magazine Famitsu sat down with original director Takashi Tokita, to talk about the game’s development.

The new Switch version served as the perfect opportunity to re-release the game, something the team tried to do many times over the years. Tokita dove into a number of other topics as well including why the team settled on the HD-2D art style.

Here’s our translation of the excerpt from Famitsu:

advance wars 1 2 reboot camp early access

There’s a bit of an interesting situation taking place with Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, with one person apparently managing to gain early access.

Those that have been keeping up with the game that the most recent release date was April 8. However, Nintendo ended up pushing the title back indefinitely due to the invasion of Ukraine that has been impacting the world as of late.
