Nintendo is continuing to update its popular Switch 2 GameCube library and now that we have moved into 2026 it’s time to take an updated look at the lineup.

The week started with the announcement of Nintendo big summer Direct, and we are finishing it off with another look at the pre-order discounts now live on some of the newest Switch 2 games. Alongside the rare Switch 2 console discounts now live ahead of the upcoming price hike, Amazon and Walmart are both offering $10 off a series of the new games highlighted at this week’s Direct. That means you can land the new Switch Sports Resort Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, among others, down at $49.99 shipped ahead of release later this year – this offer is now live at both Walmart and Amazon. This one is regularly $50 in digital form, but the physical copy we are featuring here today carries a $60 list price and, if it’s like the other discounted Switch 2 pre-orders we have featured, will jump back up in price at launch.
The price of Nintendo Switch 2 is going up, this we now know for sure. And if you or anyone you know is looking to land a console before that happens, there are some deals right now. The Choose Your Game bundle and this deal at Woot using code NEW15 at checkout. Details below.

Nintendo hosted its big summer Nintendo Direct presentation this week and it was…good. Not great, but good. I think the bevy of Nintendo leaks that have hit this year dulled the experience significantly for many folks, myself included, Nintendo stock has taken a bit of nose dive because of it, and more importantly, there’s more than a few gamers that walked away from the presentation far less excited than they should have been. So what’s next from Nintendo: Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time limited edition Switch 2 console? A proper influx of major Game Cube titles? Is there one more surprise 2026 game release?

Alongside the discounts we are tracking on some of the brand new Switch 2 titles the were on display in this week’s Nintendo Direct (you’ll find those below), Sony has also transitioned from its Days of Play sale into a giant Mid-Year PlayStation Store event. The sale includes deals on titles like REANIMAL, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, System Shock, Tomb Raider I-III and IV-VI Remastered, Dave the Diver, and a whole lot more…there are over 3,600 games and DLC packs on sale right now at up to 75% off the list prices through to July 1. You can browse through all of the deals on this page, but you will find them ready and waiting on the PlayStation Store next time you boot up your machine too.

Nintendo hosted its big nearly hour-long summer Direct yesterday, delivering a host of new world premiers and the official reveal of the long-rumored Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2. While we are still waiting for more details and release date on the Zelda remake, several of the new titles are now up for pre-order at retail at $10 off. The trend of Walmart and Amazon offering. New physical Switch 2 games with a discount ahead of release continues and today we have what will almost certainly be the lowest price these titles drop to before release:

All of the deals on DualSense controllers, $50 off Pulse Explore wireless earbuds, the rare discount on Ghost of Yotei, PS VR2, and more are all scheduled to end today.
The 2026 PlayStation Days of Play sale is an expansive annual event that delivers notable discounts on official PlayStation hardware, as well as digital and physical games, plus more…and everything is set to wrap up today – June 10. 2026. While we do tend to see some of the deals carry through the week at some retailers, the best of them are likely to be gone by day’s end.
Alongside the wide-ranging digital sale on the PlayStation Store, the clock is now ticking on the physical game deals at Amazon, Walmart, and others. From a rare discount on Ghost of Yotei to price drops on Death Stranding 2, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and loads of other PlayStation Studio games, if there’s anything you’re looking to add to your library this summer, now might be the time to do it:

Donkey Kong 64 is now out on the Switch Online N64 library as of this morning, and Donkey Kong Bananza was a blast, but for me the 2D-ish Donkey Kong Country experiences are still the best for me. And if you don’t have a copy yet, the wonderful Donkey Kong Country Returns HD release for Switch (also works on Switch 2) is now down at $44.99 shipped at Amazon and over at Walmart. Regularly $60, this is 80+ levels of Donkey Kong 2D platforming action with local co-op and variable difficulty levels for new players to deliver what is, at least for me, still one of the best DK experiences on Switch 1 or 2.

Nintendo didn’t just announce the major Nintendo Direct we are waiting for, but most assume it’s coming and several industry insiders are suggesting it’s going to be bigger than World 4 in SMB3.
