Update (3/22): Amazon’s lineup has indeed slowly started to update, and now includes games like Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville, Crash Bandicoot 4, Astral Chain, and more. Check out the sale page here.
Original (3/21): Usually when Target hosts a buy 2, get 1 free sale, Amazon follows suit. That has again taken place with both retailers. After Target begin its sale earlier today, Amazon just now started offering a similar deal.
The lineup of items is slowly being updated, but it includes games, movies, music, and a bunch of other categories. We recommend keeping an eye on the Amazon sale page here – which currently has over 1,000 items across all products – in the days ahead.
Target’s buy 2, get 1 free deal lasts through March 27. The same likely applies to Amazon as well.
Ratalakia Games is putting another game on Switch this week. One Escape, a puzzle-platformer made by BUG-Studio, will be out on March 26.

Nintendo has teamed up with Daedlic Entertainment and Indoor Astronaut on the latest Switch Online Game Trial. At least in Japan, Unrailed! can be played for free between March 29 and April 4, assuming you’re a subscriber of the service. The game will also have a 50 percent discount until April 11.
Nintendo sometimes extends these Game Trials to North America and Europe, so we’ll keep an eye out for any news about plans for the west. In the meantime, you should be able to play Unrailed! for free during the period mentioned above so long as you create a Japanese Nintendo Account, set it up and your Switch system, and download the trial from the Japanese eShop.
Update 2 (3/22): Koei Tecmo has also confirmed to Nintendo Everything that just like in North America, Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection is digital-only in Europe.
Update: Koei Tecmo has officially confirmed to Nintendo Everything that Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection is digital-only in the west. We’ll let you know about Europe, but it’s likely the same there as well.
Original (3/19): Koei Tecmo today announced a Digital Deluxe Edition for Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection. It will include a 70-page digital art book, a soundtrack featuring over 180 tracks, and all three games: Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge.
Collectors interested in Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection may be disappointed to hear that the release could be digital-only in the west. Retailer Videogamesplus claims that North America and Europe will not have a physical version. We’ve followed up with Koei Tecmo for clarification.
If you are interested in picking up Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection physically, you’ll be happy to hear that there will be a retail option in Asia with English support. Play-Asia is taking pre-orders here.
