Nintendo finally revealed the long-rumored Star Fox game for Nintendo Switch 2, and Fox and crew are finally back for a new (remade) adventure. While physical copies are normally priced $10 higher than digital, you can score a physical copy of Star Fox for $49.94 from Amazon right now. It’s the perfect time to lock in your pre-order and prepare for the skies.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties – PlayStation 5
1
Yakuza Kiwami 3 is on sale today for $39.99, marking the lowest we’ve seen this one yet. After years of fan demand for a remake, SEGA and RGG Studio delivered earlier this year with Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties. In our review, we wrote, “Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a largely successful makeover of Yakuza 3. It finds fun new ways for Kiryu to engage with the orphans in his care, which both livens up the original game’s most boring bits and also made me more deeply invested in the sharper end of its story. Combat has been transformed from a street-fighting struggle to a dynamic delight, and this slice of Okinawa presents a welcome seachange from the series’ more overused city settings.”
Save Big on a Crunchyroll Subscription
Ani-May Streaming Deals

Get 3 months of Fan Crunchyroll for $1.99/month or 3 months of Mega Fan Crunchyroll for $2.99/month
Crunchyroll raised subscription prices not that long ago, and for a limited time, new and returning subscribers can score three months of the service for $2 a month. Crunchyroll is home to hundreds of popular anime, inlcuding Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, and more. My favorite anime of the year, Fate/strange Fake, is also available on the service.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is one of the biggest RPG releases of the year so far, and this weekend you can score a copy on any platform for $49.99!

4
We’re just a few weeks away from Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, and right now, you can save $10 off a physical copy at Walmart or Amazon. Nintendo recently announced that moving forward, physical games will be $10 more than digital games, so this deal sets you back to where physicals previously were.
Suzume for $13.49
Suzume Blu-ray
0
Suzume is the latest film from Makoto Shinkai, and it is certainly one to remember. This film follows Suzume on a journey across Japan who attempts to close doors that bring disasters to the land. If you’re a fan of Your Name or Weathering With You, Suzume is an easy recommendation.
