🍄 Nintendo Switch, Multi-platformThere’s Still Time To Preorder These Upcoming Switch 2 Games – The Best Nintendo Deals This Week (May 14, 2026)
This week is a great one for Nintendo Switch deals, as you'll find a long list of both games and accessories available at a discount. What's most exciting, however, is that physical preorders for both Star Fox(https://www.amazon.com/Star-FoxTM-Nintendo-Switch-2/dp/B0GZSLD685?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book(https://www.amazon.com/YoshiTM-Mysterious-Book-Nintendo-Switch-2/dp/B0GTWSJ5BW?tag=gamespot-preorders-20) are $10 off at Amazon. There's also a slight price cut on Nintendo eShop Gift Card(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZNGPY3?tag=gamespot-promos-20), giving you a chance to save a few bucks on your next digital purchase. Several popular Hori controllers are on sale at Target(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/save-up-to-25-off-horis-switch-2-controllers-and-accessories-at-target/1100-6539913/)--so if you need a new gamepad that won't break the bank, you'll find some great deals to peruse. Console price cuts are still elusive, but since Nintendo is increasing the price of Switch 2 by $50 in September, now is a good time to cash in on these current prices. Here's a closer look at the best Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2 deals this week, covering games, consoles, controllers, and more. Nintendo Game Deals !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/4695759-mixcollage-14-may-2026-09-00-am-1191.jpg) If you're preordering Star Fox(https://www.amazon.com/Star-FoxTM-Nintendo-Switch-2/dp/B0GZSLD685?tag=gamespot-preorders-20), be sure to do so at Amazon(https://www.amazon.com/Star-FoxTM-Nintendo-Switch-2/dp/B0GZSLD685?tag=gamespot-preorders-20). The physical version is discounted by $10 ahead of its June 25 release. For more info on the game, check out our comprehensive Star Fox preorder guide(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/star-fox-buying-guide/1100-6539831/). The same goes for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book(https://www.amazon.com/YoshiTM-Mysterious-Book-Nintendo-Switch-2/dp/B0GTWSJ5BW?tag=gamespot-preorders-20), with the physical version just $60 (was $70) at Amazon ahead of its May 21 launch. Beyond preorders, several great Switch 2 games are currently matching their lowest prices ever. The cheapest of the bunch is Yakuza 0: Director's Cut(https://www.amazon.com/Yakuza-Directors-Cut-Nintendo-Switch-2/dp/B0F65ZBSXY?tag=gamespot-promos-20), which is just $25 (was $50). Along with better performance, this new edition of the classic game offers an enhanced save system, an online multiplayer mode, and around 30 minutes of new cutscenes that help fill in additional plotlines. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer, the game is certainly enticing at this new price. This week you can also snag Final Fantasy VII: Remake Intergrade(https://www.amazon.com/FINAL-FANTASY-VII-REMAKE-INTERGRADE-Nintendo/dp/B0FR6937TP?tag=gamespot-promos-20) for $30 (was $40). Along with offering the first slice of the original game, this edition includes a new story featuring Yuffie Kisaragi. Our original Final Fantasy VII: Remake Intergrade review(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/final-fantasy-7-remake-intergrade-review-materia-improvements/1900-6417445/) from 2021 gave it a stellar 10/10, thanks to its thrilling combat system, memorable characters, and a bold new depiction of Midgar that breathes new life into the iconic destination. Not to be outdone by Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest VII Reimagined(https://www.amazon.com/DRAGON-QUEST-VII-Reimagined-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B0FQWNGY9F?tag=gamespot-promos-20) is also listed at its lowest price ever. It's just $50 (was $60) at Amazon, and its adorable art style alone should win over long-time fans of the series. The big news with this remaster is all the quality of life improvements, as combat has been updated, there's a new auto-battler feature to blast through minor encounters more easily, and new vocational perks mean there's plenty of new strategies for you to master. Over on Switch, there are a handful of enticing deals. This includes Pokemon Legends: Z-A(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https%3A%2F%2Felectronics.woot.com%2Foffers%2Fpokmon-legends-z-a-4%3Fcjdata%3DMXxOfDB8WXww%26ref%3Dwcntwp017%26utmmedium%3Daffiliate%26utmcampaign%3DCJ%26cjevent%3Da04c0bc544a511f18033000d0a1eba37%26utmsource%3DFandom%2C%2BInc.%26utmterm%3Da04c0bc544a511f18033000d0a1eba37) for $45 (was $60), Super Mario RPG(https://www.amazon.com/Super-Mario-RPG-Nintendo-Switch-Version/dp/B0C8VKNJ1B?tag=gamespot-promos-20) for $34.73 (was $60), and Sonic Origins Plus(https://www.amazon.com/Sonic-Origins-Plus-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B0BZFGSY5W?tag=gamespot-promos-20) for $25 (was $40). eShop Gift Card -

Boasting flashy designs and unlocking a few in-game cosmetics, Street Fighter fans should definitely give them a look. Need a carrying case for your console? The PowerA Slim Case for Switch 2 (Metroid Prime 4)(https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Slim-Nintendo-Switch-Built-2/dp/B0FR9V7QWR?tag=gamespot-promos-20) is on sale for $14.49 (was $20). Along with colorful Metroid-inspired graphics on the outside, the inside features a padded sleeve to protect your console screen, plus a compartment that holds up to 10 games. There's even a playstand built into the case lining--so you can prop up your console and play in tabletop mode while on the go. For something streamlined and minimalist, the Tomtoc Switch 2 Slim Carrying Case(https://www.amazon.com/Carrying-Nintendo-Odorless-Protective-Portable-Protection/dp/B0DT48LYLP?tag=gamespot-promos-20) is $29.59 (was $37). Despite its small size, it can still hold up to 12 games, is water-resistant, and includes shock-absorbing cushions that provide extra protection to the L/R buttons. A bunch of controllers are on sale, too. One of the cheapest options is the PowerA Advantage Wireless Controller (Mario and Friends)(https://redirect.viglink.com/?key=fbff19622bfc4d759c94ca50d964e98d&u=https%3A%2F%2Felectronics.woot.com%2Foffers%2Fpowera-advantage-wireless-controller-switch-2z-1%3Fcjdata%3DMXxOfDB8WXww%26ref%3Dwcntwp051%26utmmedium%3Daffiliate%26utmcampaign%3DCJ%26cjevent%3D4d8c681f44a111f1803300080a1eba37%26utmsource%3DFandom%2C%2BInc.%26utmterm%3D4d8c681f44a111f1803300080a1eba37) for $35 (was $70), though you'll also find the premium 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller(https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Controller-Joysticks-Switchable-Gaming-Console/dp/B0F194QFT2?tag=gamespot-promos-20) with a $12 discount. The latter comes with an included charging dock, so it's easy to stay juiced up for your next gaming session. We're also big fans of the PDP Afterglow Wave Wireless Controller(https://www.amazon.com/Afterglow-Wireless-Controller-Nintendo-Gaming-Console/dp/B0D1KXVKDP?tag=gamespot-promos-20). This is slightly cheaper than it was a few weeks ago at $39 (was $60), and because it features a bunch of cool RGB lights, it's a colorful addition to any game room. Several Hori Switch 2 controllers and accessories are also on sale at Target(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/save-up-to-25-off-horis-switch-2-controllers-and-accessories-at-target/1100-6539913/).

🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, VR, Multi-platformMoss: The Forgotten Relic Combines Two Of VR's Best Games Into One Unified Flatscreen Adventure This Summer
!Moss The Forgotten Relic PS5 Xbox Series X/S Switch 2 PC Summer 2026 Reveal Trailer(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/05/14/862646ff/moss2.jpg.webp) Some of the best games you can play in a VR headset are developer/publisher Polyarc's Moss(https://gameinformer.com/product/moss) and Moss: Book II(https://gameinformer.com/product/moss-book-ii). The former launched in 2018 exclusively on PlayStation VR, and the latter launched on PlayStation VR and Meta Quest in 2022. Though both are playable on other VR headsets now, they still require, well, a VR headset. But players without a headset, or those who prefer their gaming escapades to be flatscreen, will get to enjoy both adventures in Moss: The Forgotten Relic, which combines both Moss games into a single "unified" experience for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC this Summer. Polyarc announced The Forgotten Relic with an exclusive trailer over at IGN, and it highlights that Moss' platformer-puzzle gameplay works just fine on a non-VR display. In it, players will traverse a fallen kingdom, solve environmental puzzles uniquely woven into the surrounding environment, and embark on a heartfelt tale as Quill, a very cute and very miniature mouse. Check it out in the Moss: The Forgotten Relic reveal trailer for yourself below: "Moss: The Forgotten Relic is an emotional and atmospheric adventure set in the pages of a living storybook, brimming with myth and ancient magic," the game's Steam description reads. "Guide a tiny but determined hero on a heartfelt journey of challenge, courage, and connection." Moss: The Forgotten Relic hits PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, Switch, and PC sometime this Summer. In the meantime, read Game Informer's review of Moss(https://gameinformer.com/games/moss/b/playstationvr/archive/2018/02/27/game-informer-moss-psvr-review.aspx).

Now, Blow has announced that Order of the Sinking Star will also launch on Nintendo Switch 2 sometime this year alongside the PC release. Unfortunately, despite the platform update, Blow and his team at developer Thekla haven't revealed the game's release date, sticking to the vague "2026" for now. Nonetheless, Order of the Sinking Star looks like a great game for Switch 2. Check out the Switch 2 trailer for Order of the Sinking Star below for a look at how it runs: Game Informer senior associate editor Marcus Stewart previewed the game ahead of its reveal last year and came away very impressed – you can read his Order of the Sinking Star preview here(https://gameinformer.com/preview/2025/12/11/the-creator-of-braid-and-the-witness-reveals-his-most-ambitious-puzzle-game-yet).

🍄 Nintendo Switch, Multi-platformKylie Jenner Calls The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 'One Of The Best Games Ever'
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2018/06/07/30b43152/botwart.jpg.webp) Kylie Jenner, the billionaire Kardashian sister behind Kylie Cosmetics, apparently has time for Nintendo Switch gaming when she's not filming reality TV, running a makeup business, or attending awards shows and basketball games with boyfriend Timothée Chalamet (who is also a gamer). But when The Legend of Zelda gets its hooks in you, what are you to do? In the latest episode of Therapuss, a mock-therapy talk show on Netflix hosted by influencer/media personality Jake Shane, Jenner says Zelda is "one of the best games ever." Though she doesn't specifically name The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild(https://gameinformer.com/product/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild), which launched with the Switch back in 2017, the details she provides make clear that's the adventure she's playing through. You can watch a clip of this discussion here(https://x.com/netflix/status/2054743503595340021?s=20). She describes to Shane, who is seemingly unfamiliar with the series, that you play as Link, 100 years after a war, and take on Divine Beast dungeons, fight Ganondorf, and explore Hyrule while attempting to save Princess Zelda. While explaining it, Jenner laughs and jokes she's "going to sound like such a nerd" (you're in good company, Kylie), but she also says she's still kind of new to the game – she's completed one Divine Beast dungeon and is en route to a second now, apparently. "It's the most intricate – I've played for days and hours," Jenner tells Shane. Excellent taste, Jenner. Make sure you play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom after you finish BOTW! She's not alone in Hollywood, either – Sally Field loves BOTW too(https://filmstories.co.uk/news/sally-field-loves-the-legend-of-zelda/)! Speaking of, in case you haven't for some reason, read Game Informer's reviews for Breath of the Wild(https://gameinformer.com/games/thelegendofzeldabreathofthewild/b/switch/archive/2017/03/02/game-informer-the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-switch-review.aspx) and Tears of the Kingdom(https://gameinformer.com/review/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom/such-great-heights). After that, read Game Informer's exclusive Zelda 40th Anniversary feature,(https://gameinformer.com/feature/2026/04/07/40-years-of-zeldas-legend) where we spoke to dozens of developers around the industry about the impact the Nintendo series has had on their lives.

!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/007-prerelease-suit-header.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) James Bond is a man known for dramatically announcing drink orders, revealing his name with so much sauce that it's frequently complemented by an audio cue, and possessing a keen eye for a damn suave suit. The verdict's out on whether 007: First Light will implement either of those first two quirks, but we know Bond's sharp eye for a good fit is here in force, so much that there's actually a range of pre-release suits you can unlock right now in preparation for your globe-trotting espionage adventure.

🍄 Nintendo Switch, Multi-platformDeadzone Rogue 2, Follow-Up To Excellent Roguelite FPS, Announced
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/05/12/ec1c82d0/dzrh.jpg.webp) Deadzone: Rogue was a game that slipped past our collective radars, but once we finally played it upon its Switch 2 release, we absolutely loved it, awarding it a 9 out of 10(https://gameinformer.com/review/deadzone-rogue/rewarding-repetition). Now, quicker than most expected, developer Prophecy Games has announced a sequel to its roguelite FPS, Deadzone Rogue 2. In Deadzone Rogue 2, you fight as Talon 13-10 on a fallen Earth. While the core gameplay sounds familiar to anyone who played the first game – you work through runs of each area, forging your loadout as you blast through hordes of enemies – it iterates in seemingly important ways. In addition to extended play progression with new abilities, weapons, and run modifiers, players can expect new biomes, layouts, enemies, and bosses to deal with. On top of that, drop-in co-op joins the formula, allowing for more flexible cooperative play for up to three players. While we don't know too much more about this sequel, we know we can't wait to see how Prophecy Games is improving on the already-excellent foundation of the franchise. And with details on a pre-release demo promised in June, we hope we'll have that chance sooner rather than later.
