Pokémon Legends: Z-A is 20 p.c off at Best Buy as we speak solely

If you’ve been contemplating selecting up the most recent Pokémon recreation for the Switch 2, there’s good cause to do it as we speak, as Best Buy is knocking $14 off the bodily model. Pokémon Legends: Z-A usually prices $69.99, however you possibly can snag it for $55.99 for the remainder of the day — a worth that different retailers aren’t at the moment matching. The title, which launched in October 2025, appears like a return to type, in keeping with our reviewer Charles Pulliam-Moore, and continues to push the sequence out of its iterative rut. At this worth, the sport is cheaper than the unique Switch model (however professional tip: the Switch 2 cartridge will work within the unique Switch, too, and can allow you to play the complete recreation as if it had been a daily Switch cart).

For those that haven’t jumped right into a Pokémon recreation shortly, Legends: Z-A follows the system that Arceus launched. Rather than strictly working as a turn-based RPG, the participant can have interaction in real-time battles in opposition to Pokémon — even catching them sneakily with out partaking in a combat is feasible. Personally, video games like Pokémon Sword / Shield burned me out on the concept of taking part in one other, because it felt just like taking part in earlier titles, however with higher graphics and a bigger world. But shaking up the way you have interaction with the core mechanics seems like an excellent time.
