If you’ve been considering picking up the latest Pokémon game for the Switch 2, there’s good reason to do it today, as Best Buy is knocking $14 off the physical version. Pokémon Legends: Z-A normally costs $69.99, but you can snag it for $55.99 for the rest of the day — a price that other retailers aren’t currently matching. The title, which launched in October 2025, feels like a return to form, according to our reviewer Charles Pulliam-Moore, and continues to push the series out of its iterative rut. At this price, the game is cheaper than the original Switch version (but pro tip: the Switch 2 cartridge will work in the original Switch, too, and will let you play the full game as if it were a regular Switch cart).
For those who haven’t jumped into a Pokémon game in a while, Legends: Z-A follows the formula that Arceus introduced. Rather than strictly operating as a turn-based RPG, the player can engage in real-time battles against Pokémon — even catching them sneakily without engaging in a fight is possible. Personally, games like Pokémon Sword / Shield burned me out on the idea of playing another, as it felt similar to playing previous titles, but with better graphics and a larger world. But shaking up how you engage with the core mechanics sounds like a good time.
