Today's Top Deals: Super Mario RPG, Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, Corsair K70 Keyboard, and More

Background: Price Changes and Release Timing Set the Week

The Sunday, September 27 top picks arrived after a series of moves that made both hardware and software discounts easier to understand. The Nintendo Switch 2 had officially increased in price, so a lower-cost console path became notable. Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave was out now, while Metroid Prime 4: Beyond had been the Nintendo Switch 2's big December game last year. The list also covered a Corsair K70 Mechanical Keyboard, Super Mario RPG, and more.

Development: The Games Anchored the First Wave

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave was available for $69.97 as a physical copy at Amazon, saving $10 from the $79.99 price elsewhere. The 10/10 review read: "Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave provides an excellent pairing of combat strategy and management, with compelling stories spread across each of its four heroes that come together to form one phenomenal RPG."

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was listed for $49.99 as a physical Nintendo Switch 2 copy at Woot. The 8/10 review read: "Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is an excellent, if relatively uneven, revival that reaches heights worthy of the Metroid name in its best moments."

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is a very ambitious pair of remakes, breathing new life into these classics. It was discounted to $39.99 at Amazon, one of the best prices seen since release. Spoiler Alert: the roundup noted that Dragon Quest II especially saw huge additions to its story, making this the definitive version of the game. The 9/10 review read: "Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake beautifully concludes this trilogy, recapturing the retro magic of the originals while giving them a modern facelift."

Super Mario RPG appeared at Amazon for $37, still one of the most underrated games in the Switch library. The remake recreates the SNES classic in brilliant fashion, with a remastered soundtrack and enhanced visuals.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection was discounted to $29.99 for PS5 copies at Amazon, saving $10 off this collection of seven games. The 8/10 review read: "The Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is the best way to play as the most underrated version of the Blue Bomber."

Development: Hardware, Accessories, and Collectibles Joined

The Nintendo Switch 2 was the core hardware item. Woot listed a Grade A Refurbished unit for $449.99, after the console's official price increase. Woot described the units as "been inspected and guaranteed to have minimal cosmetic damage & has successfully passed a full diagnostic test which ensures like-new functionality & removal of any prior-user's personal information." All original accessories are included, so buyers will not need to pick up a Dock or anything like that.

The Corsair K70 Core RGB Mechanical Keyboard was available at Amazon for $74.99, normally priced at $109.99. This full size wired keyboard features MLX red linear switches with ABS double-shot keycaps, plus a palmrest that can be detached, making it a cheaper keyboard choice.

The LEGO Star Wars AT-AT set was on sale at Amazon for $51.99. The 525-piece set includes the AT-AT and the Rebel Alliance Snowspeeder as it attempts to take down the giant machine. With LEGO having continued to rise in price over the years, this 20% discount made the set worth a look.

Fate Return to Avalon: Takashi Takeuchi Art Works was available at Amazon for $40.42. Takashi Takeuchi has one of the most recognizable art styles for good reason, and the legendary artist pioneered Type-Moon's art for franchises like Fate and Tsukihime. This fantastic hardcover collection of Takeuchi's Fate artwork includes almost 300 pages of art from games, promotional material, limited events, and much more. It is perfect for any Fate fan.

Latest Progress: The Sunday Price Board

By Sunday, September 27, the active price points were: Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave at $69.97, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond at $49.99, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake at $39.99, Super Mario RPG at $37, Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection at $29.99, Nintendo Switch 2 Grade A Refurbished at $449.99, Corsair K70 Core RGB Mechanical Keyboard at $74.99, LEGO Star Wars AT-AT at $51.99, and Fate Return to Avalon: Takashi Takeuchi Art Works at $40.42.

Current Stage: A Mixed Offer Window After a Hardware Price Increase

The September 27 window is best read as a two-track sale. One track is Nintendo Switch 2 access: the official price increase left the $449.99 Grade A Refurbished console as the most consequential number in the list. The other track is software and collectibles: available titles and remakes such as Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, Super Mario RPG, Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, and Fate Return to Avalon: Takashi Takeuchi Art Works joined accessories and building sets at prices below their normal levels.
