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.

Over the years we’ve seen many instances in which Nintendo resorted to a very common strategy in the gaming industry: releasing a very successful title followed by a sequel using many of the tools created for its predecessor. Engine, assets, animation, and other elements are some of the things that are brought back.
Now we’re waiting on the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which seems to be taking a lot of elements from the last successful Zelda game. In today’s video, I decided to take a look at other direct sequels that Nintendo produced in the past, analyzing the different strategies and trying to see where the new Zelda may fit into that. You can check out the video down below.
Knights in the Nightmare Remaster came to Switch in Japan this past week, and gameplay has since emerged. 24 minutes of footage is available.
Knights in the Nightmare Remaster is based on the original title that previously landed on DS over a decade ago. It’s a strategy-shooter RPG made by Sting.
