Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Following the narrative missteps of Fire Emblem Fates, Three Houses successfully revitalized the series’ approach to branching storylines. It presents a nuanced conflict where moral ambiguity reigns supreme—even the most righteous factions have blood on their hands. Players must navigate these tragic, high-stakes alliances while utilizing a deep, flexible class system that offers endless tactical customization for their army. You can snag your digital copy for $39.99.

Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club
Don’t let the deceptively simple title throw you off. The Smiling Man is an unsettling, sophisticated mystery that feels remarkably bold for a Nintendo-published title. It stands as one of the studio’s finest storytelling achievements, offering a much more streamlined and intuitive investigation process than its predecessors in the Famicom Detective Club series. Even if you hit a snag in the investigation, the game provides the necessary breadcrumbs to keep you progressing. Grab this gripping thriller for $29.99.

Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 Bundle
PlatinumGames elevated the “campy action” genre to new heights with these releases. Whether she’s channeling magic or using her hair as a weapon, the eponymous Umbra Witch makes quick work of otherworldly threats. Beyond the chaotic combat, both games feature surprisingly poignant character arcs that make Bayonetta feel grounded despite the fantastical setting.
The bundle is available for $39.98, or you can grab them individually for $29.99 each. Bayonetta 3 is also discounted to $39.99; while its conclusion is polarizing, the spectacle of its gameplay remains top-tier.
Purchase Bundle via Amazon ($39.98)

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp
While Intelligent Systems is widely celebrated for Fire Emblem, their turn-based strategy work on the original Advance Wars remains a genre masterpiece. Unlike the character-driven stakes of Fire Emblem, these games focus on tactical resource management and sacrificial unit maneuvering. Re-Boot Camp masterfully polishes the original experience, offering a modern, accessible interface for these classic strategic challenges. It’s currently on sale for $39.99.
5
Live A Live
A hidden gem from Square Enix history, Live A Live set the stage for multi-narrative RPGs like Octopath Traveler. The game spans various eras—from the Wild West to futuristic sci-fi—incorporating an innovative grid-based combat system that emphasizes spatial positioning. It remains one of the most stunning examples of the studio’s HD-2D aesthetic. You can pick it up for $29.99.
6
Metroid Dread
MercurySteam’s evolution of the side-scrolling formula culminated in Metroid Dread. Featuring some of the most refined boss encounters and fluid combat in franchise history, it provides a powerful, fitting conclusion to the series’ long-running narrative arc. Samus is at her absolute best here, and you can join the adventure for $39.99.
