Last-Minute Holiday Deals: Savings on Top Games and Tech for December 27
A wave of post-holiday discounts has arrived, offering gamers and tech enthusiasts a chance to snag significant savings on a range of products. From highly anticipated new releases to classic series and essential accessories, here’s a breakdown of the best deals available as of Saturday, December 27.
Action-Packed Adventures and Fighting Game Returns
Several major titles are seeing price reductions, catering to a variety of gaming preferences. Ninja Gaiden 4 is currently available for $49.94 at Walmart, providing an opportunity to experience the action combat system developed by Team Ninja and PlatinumGames. The game introduces a new protagonist, Yakumo, alongside Ryu, offering players diverse abilities and mechanics as they navigate a threat in Tokyo.
Fans of the Assassin’s Creed franchise can save $10 on the Standard Edition of Assassin’s Creed Shadows for the Nintendo Switch 2 at Amazon. Launched earlier this month, this edition includes all downloadable content, updates, and more for Switch 2 owners.
For RPG enthusiasts, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake for the Nintendo Switch 2 is on sale for $49.99. Described by one reviewer as a thoroughly enjoyable experience, the remake modernizes the original two Dragon Quest games with updated graphics and gameplay.
The fighting game scene also benefits from the current sales. Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves Special Edition for PlayStation 5 is available for $30, including the first year of DLC featuring characters like Ken and Chun-Li from Street Fighter. This marks a significant return for SNK’s beloved Fatal Fury series.
Essential Accessories and Beloved Franchises
Beyond games themselves, crucial accessories are also discounted. A Nintendo Switch 2 owner—or prospective owner—should consider the Samsung P9 Express microSD Express Card (256GB), currently $32.99 at Amazon, a $20 discount. With large titles like Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade expected to consume significant storage space, doubling the Switch 2’s internal capacity is a smart investment.
The latest installment in the popular franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, is available for $40 at Amazon, making it an ideal last-minute gift. The game, released just weeks ago, is already seeing a price reduction.
For those interested in the creative process behind their favorite games, The Art of DOOM: The Dark Ages is on sale for just under $31. The 200+ page book offers a behind-the-scenes look at the development of the game, featuring artwork of characters, weapons, and environments.
Nostalgia is also on offer with Mega Man The Complete Series Blu-ray, available for $31.97 at Amazon. The set contains all 27 episodes of the animated series, totaling over 10 hours of content.
Finally, PlayStation 5 owners can grab Astro Bot for $39.99 at Amazon, the lowest price seen so far. The platforming adventure is a celebration of PlayStation’s history, featuring cameos from iconic characters across generations.
