I’ve had my eye on Mightreya since long before it had its name, when it was just clips of a somewhat generic anime girl doing sick tricks and beatdowns in levels without assets. But now it looks like a genuine (the -uine pronounced like wine, so you’ve got the right intonation) action video game, with a slightly less generic looking anime girl continuing to do sick tricks and beatdowns, albeit with a bit more context. And you can even try it out for yourself now with a new demo! Which I did and will tell you about thusly.
The weekend is finally here, and new deals have popped up! There are quite a few solid discounts across the board, including savings on Super Mario RPG, Death Stranding 2, and Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble. Check out our top picks for Saturday, February 28, below.
Super Mario RPG for $35.99
Super Mario RPG is one of the best Mario games on Nintendo Switch, as it brings back the beloved SNES classic in brilliant fashion. This adventure is a collaboration between Square Enix and Nintendo, following Mario, Bowser, Peach, and new friends on a journey to find the seven star pieces. In our 8/10 review, we wrote, “Super Mario RPG is considered a classic for a reason, and this faithful remake makes it easy for anyone who missed it in the SNES era to see why.”
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach for $49.99
Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is an incredible follow-up to 2019’s Death Stranding that is one of the must-play games on PS5. Sam Porter Bridges is forced to venture out to the continent of Australia as the world continues to face the challenges thrown at it by the Death Stranding, and this sequel packs together a wild, sci-fi story, ultimate gameplay freedom, and some of the best visuals we’ve ever seen. Grab a copy this weekend for $49.99 at Amazon.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for $39.88
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch, and you can pick up a copy today for $39.88 at Walmart. If you played Donkey Kong Bananza on Switch 2 and are searching for another adventure with DK and friends, Tropical Freeze is an amazing choice.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble for $20
Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble was the brilliant return to Monkey Ball we all hoped for, bringing a wonderful adventure to Nintendo Switch. In our 8/10 review, we wrote, “Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble is a brilliant return to form with the best stages and controls the series has seen in over 20 years.”
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II for $29.99
If you’re on the hunt for one of the most talked-about RPGs of 2025, look no further than Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. This hit RPG is on sale this weekend at Amazon for 50% off, so you can take home a copy for $29.99.
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for $39.88
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is one of the best Zelda games on Nintendo Switch. This Presidents Day weekend, you can score a copy of the game at Walmart for $39.88. If you’re playing on Nintendo Switch 2, you can play the game at 60FPS with a higher frame rate in both docked and handheld modes.
Scarlet 4K UHD Blu-ray Up for Pre-Order
Scarlet is the latest film from renowned director Mamoru Hosoda, and you can pre-order the 4K UHD Blu-ray starting today at Amazon. This film was directly inspired by Hamlet, following Princess Scarlet on a journey of revenge.
When I first wrote about Hypnos upon its announcement last month, I noted how I don’t really know what you do in it. The trailer was entirely about The Vibes, but that was enough for my mechanically minimalist loving heart. I’ve now had a go at the demo, and to tell you the truth, I’m still not entirely sure what you do, and I couldn’t give a monkeys because oh me oh my, what a pretty world it does contain.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, a new take on the classic LEGO game formula, doesn’t launch until May 29. Luckily, to hold over all you ravenous Batfans out there, there are a handful of new LEGO sets you can buy that not only look great on your bookshelves lined with your favorite Batman comics, but come with some pretty awesome, unique digital download codes you can use in the game. What do you get with the download code after scanning the QR code in the instructions? Well, it wouldn’t be a LEGO Batman game without a ton of optional skins, and you’ll get some fancy gold minifigure and Batmobile skins for your trouble.
There are four of these new sets are available starting on March 1, each of which can be purchased via Amazon or through LEGO directly.
Every LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Set
Check out detailed breakdowns of each new set below. The three Batmobile sets each celebrate different eras of iconic Batman films (minus the Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale era, which I am personally bummed about) and will run you $29.99. Each one is a faithful recreation of their onscreen counterparts, complete with a minifigure of that Batmobile’s respective Batman.
LEGO DC Batman: Batman Logo
Of the four available sets with digital bonuses for the game, the Batman Logo is an intricate-looking build made up of 678 pieces that stands fairly tall. It comes with a classic black-suited Batman, as well as a special gold Batman minifigure to help celebrate the 20th anniversary of our favorite Caped Crusader in brick form. The skin you’ll get in-game from this set is the gold minifigure.
LEGO DC Batman: Batman v Superman Batmobile
The Ben Affleck Batmobile is probably the most different out of any iteration of the car we’ve seen over the years, but it’s still a pretty cool design nonetheless. At 220 pieces, it’s the smallest of the bunch, but the plated armor details and Batman v Superman minifigure it comes with make up for it. You’ll get a gold version of this Batmobile with the digital download code.
LEGO DC Batman: The Batman Batmobile
I’m partial to the Robert Pattinson version from The Batman — this Batmobile is a less exaggerated version of the car we all grew up with, and I love the all-black and off-road-like design. Redeeming the code from this set gets you a gold skin of the Pattinson’s Batmobile in the game. This one is 330 pieces, the highest brick count of the three.
LEGO DC Batman: Batman & Robin Batmobile
For you classic Batman fans, the George Clooney Batmobile from Batman & Robin is a 272-piece recreation of that film’s vehicle. The red accents on the side are a nice added touch, but sadly the Batman minifigure does not include the infamous Batnipples. And like the other two sets, the digital download code nets you a gold version of this car.
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Is Up For Preorder
If you haven’t been following along with IGN Fan Fest, we’ve had the opportunity to get some exclusive new looks at some more LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight gameplay, where we’ve learned you can play as Catwoman. Both the Standard and Deluxe editions are available to preorder from all major retailers now before it launches May 29, and you can choose to reserve your copy for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version planned for release later on this year. By preordering any version of the game, you’ll receive the Dark Knight Returns Batsuit skin.
A few years ago, it’s entirely possible that Highguard isn’t the current talk of a town called Didn’t Work. But now, when everyone wants a piece of the live service pie, it’s not so easy to come in and claim some for yourself. We could spend an eternity figuring out what went wrong, but perhaps the words of former senior level designer on the shooter Alex Graner will provide a particular insight that the comment section of an annoying YouTuber won’t.
The pulse of Lumiose City is racing, and for good reason! Pre-orders for the Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution – Perfect Order expansion are dropping ahead of its March 27, 2026, release. This gorgeous new set continues the Mega Evolution hype of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, bringing Mega Zygarde ex into the spotlight.
This guide collects the best deals on the market right now for Pokémon Perfect Order boosters and ETBs, including line-ups, predicted chase cards, and what to expect from this latest collection.
We’ll be regularly updating this page with confirmed deals, so bookmark this page, keep checking back in, and follow @IGNDeals for the latest updates.
What’s in the Perfect Order Lineup?
As the third main expansion of cards from the Mega Evolution Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, this set has over 120 cards. There’s plenty to get your hands on, because let’s be real, we’re not just buying one.
Perfect Order will introduce new mechanics, four Mega Evolution Pokémon ex; nine Pokémon ex; 11 illustration rare Pokémon; 18 ultra rare Pokémon and Trainer cards; and six special illustration rare Pokémon and Supporter cards.Look out for Mega Zygarde ex, Mega Clefable ex, Mega Starmie ex, and the newly revealed Mega Skarmory ex!
Seemingly confirmed via Japanese set lists (M3), which historically dictate about 90% of what we see in our English releases, it will also introduce Telepath Psychic Energy, which provides psychic energy as long as this card is attached to a Pokémon. Neat!
Where to Preorder Pokémon TCG Perfect Order
While preordering ensures you get what you want, there’s no saying what the market will do in the weeks following release. Here are the most reliable sources right now, but we’re still waiting for a few preorders to drop.
TCGplayer
TCGPlayer is a reliable third-party retailer that has all Perfect Order options available for preorder. This is your best option for securing everything at the moment, but only if you’re ultimately comfortable with paying over MSRP.
Albeit, compared to previous expansions, Perfect Order’s market price isn’t that far over standard pricing. For example, a booster box set is running for around $200 right now, about $40 more than Best Buy is selling it for at MSRP.
It’s a similar story for the Elite Trainer Boxes, listed at around $100 market price, which is $50 more than MSRP. But, that’s already $20 less than the recently released Ascended Heroes, and far better than the average $150-$200 we see more regularly. Hopefully Perfect Order follows the same trend as Phantasmal Flames and drops below $100 soon.
Walmart
Walmart will likely have Perfect Order preorders between now and release day on March 27. To be in the best chance to securing anything at MSRP, you’ll need to be a paid Walmart+ member to early access to the drops. No free trial option here, you’ll need to be paying for your membership to be in the race.
Pokémon Center US
The classic, and always the first to sell out. You’ll get the absolute best price (MSRP) and the exclusive Pokémon Center ETB, which has two copies of a full-art foil promo card featuring Tyrunt (one with a Pokémon Center logo).
Best Buy often has “Coming Soon” listings, and launches pre-orders closer to release than other retailers. Pre-orders haven’t gone live here yet, so keep checking back.
Remember – it also offers “Pick up in-store” options, which are always popular. If you want to risk it, keep your local Best Buy in mind for release day.
Amazon
Perfect Order is an English curated localization of the Japanese Nihil Zero expansion. Amazon US currently has no listing for Perfect Order. But, we usually see the online retailer begin to stock new sets after release, so keep an eye out through to March 27.
Predicted Chase Cards
We can look at the SAR pull rates from the Japanese Nihil Zero expansion and secondary market prices in Japan to predict chase cards for the US market.
Unsurprisingly, the new Mega Ultra Rare Mega Zygarde ex (card #117/080 in the Japanese set) fetches a pretty penny on Japanese marketplace PokeninJapan thanks to its “Nullifying Zero” attack mechanic. {115/080} Rosa’s Encouragement is also trending high.
As the March 27 2026 release draws ever-closer, we’re sure to see more pre-orders dropping. Keep checking back for more information!
Last year, Owlcat announced they were working on another CRPG set within the world of Warhammer 40,000 called Dark Heresy. This would have potentially led to an assumption that they were done with their previous game, Rogue Trader, but nope! They’re still going, and a brief teaser for that CRPG’s next bit of DLC was shared (and when I say brief, I do mean it), and to wet your appetite, some gameplay for Dark Heresy is there to have a look at too.
And here we are, after nine Pokémon polls covering every generation, it’s time for the showdown: Who will you choose as the very best Pokémon ever?
Today, we present the winning Pocket Monster from each of our previous polls (now closed) for the final nine-way battle to find out the overall Pokémon champion.
Nivalis is a game that whenever I see it I just think “oh, that can’t be right, games like this don’t actually exist do they?” Arguable, until it’s actually out, its existence is neither here nor there. But at the very least for the month of February, instead of talking at us lot in their monthly devlogs, developer Ion Lands opted to show off a little snippet of the game’s opening moments to tide us over until release.
Magic: The Gathering is a fantastic card game, but the Commander format has given it even more legs.
It revolves around a central Commander that helms your deck, giving it a ton of personality as players gravitate towards their favorite legendary creatures to build around.
Wizards of the Coast finally recognized the format in 2011, beginning a deluge of preconstructed decks that are playable right out of the box. We’ve got a full list of them, but for now, we’ve narrowed down our top 12.
These aren’t presented in any real order, but let us know which ones you’ve played!
The Most Powerful Magic: The Gathering Commander Precons
Heavenly Inferno – Commander 2011
Heavenly Inferno is one of the first Commander precons, and its strength lies in its flexibility. The Commander, Kaalia of the Vast, helps you bring creatures into play, whether they’re Angels, Demons, or Dragons.
Because of that, you can easily swap out a bunch of Angels and Demons for Dragons, or lean into two of them if you’d prefer. As with some others on this list, it can get out of hand pretty swiftly.
Guided By Nature – Commander 2014
It’s not often we get mono-color decks in recent years, but Guided By Nature is a mono-green powerhouse helmed by a Planeswalker in Freyalise, Llanowar’s Fury.
Freyalise brings more tokens into play, includes removal, and allows for card draw, and she’s flanked by big-hitters like Siege Behemoth and Rampaging Baloths.
Tyranid Swarm – Universes Beyond: Warhammer 40K
How many +1/+1 tokens are enough? You’ll never have to find out, because Magus Lucea Kane can dish out plenty and give you double X-cost spells, while the Swarmlord turns your creatures with counters into card draw.
Tyranid Swarm is a deck that truly does feel like a ‘swarm’, and can give you big creatures to attack with, and plenty of tokens back to defend if you’re smart.
This mono-black Warhammer deck costs a pretty penny these days, with its Commander, Szarekh, able to mill cards to put more creatures into your hand.
I personally prefer to use Imotekh the Stormlord as my Commander, though, letting you create token creatures as you use recursion and power up a creature during combat.
Mutant Menace – Universes Beyond: Fallout
I hate this deck. It’s a pain to deal with, causing plenty of mill and life loss for the whole table, but there’s no denying it’s effective.
The Wise Mothman, its Commander, dishes out rad counters and then grows in power as those counters mill cards and wound your opponents. Nasty business, truly.
Endless Punishment – Duskmourn
A deck that’s so effective at dealing damage it can make Commander matches take half as long to complete, Endless Punishment is a great deck that gets even better if you swap out Valgavoth with Master of Pain.
This 5/5 stops opponents from gaining life, has Menace, and turns the mana cost of every first spell of a player’s turn into damage against another player. Given how expensive spells get as the match wears on, that can be a big, big hit.
Sliver Swarm – Commander Masters
A deck that’s all about Slivers, a creature type that’s relatively minor on its own but buffs every other ally with the same type.
This five-color precon is a problem for everyone at the table, helmed by the Sliver Gravemother that can help bring cards back from the graveyard as attacking tokens. Oh, and it means you can have multiple copies of Legendary creatures, too.
Eldrazi Incursion – Modern Horizons 3
An Eldrazi deck with five colors and a Commander that can copy spells and activated abilities for two generic mana, Eldrazi Incursion is great off the bat, but becomes positively vile with the right upgrades.
If you prefer, you can use Morophon the Boundless to make Eldrazi spells cheaper and give creatures of that type +1/+1.
Eldrazi Unbound – Commander Masters
Another Eldrazi deck, this one puts Zhulodok, Void Gorger as your Commander and lets you enjoy double Cacade on spells with mana value 7 or higher – ouch.
Kozilek, the Great Distortion, is another Legendary Creature in the deck. It costs a lot, but acts as a 12/12 with Menace and gets you card draw.
Vampiric Bloodlust – Commander 2017
There’s a reason that Edgar Markov remains the de facto vampire-type Commander in Magic: The Gathering. His Eminence ability, which triggers even if he’s in the Command Zone, means this 4/4 with First Strike and haste can create Vampire tokens as you cast spells of that type, and he empowers them with +1/+1 when he attacks.
Teferi’s Protection is here, too, with this being the kind of deck with no real weaknesses that’s easy to pilot as well.
Food and Fellowship – Universes Beyond: Lord of the Rings
The Lord of the Rings Commander Decks were all solid, but Food and Fellowship wins out for its strength in just about every aspect. Sam generates Food tokens to gain life, then Frodo is tempted by the Ring as you consume them, with each of the Partner cards feeding into a cycle.
It’s not all Shire-friendly, either, with some true wrath coming in the form of Toxic Deluge, spot removal like Path to Exile and Swords to Plowshares, and cards like The Gaffer to turn that lifegain into more card draw. A great, well-constructed deck.
Veloci-Ramp-Tor – Lost Caverns of Ixalan
The kind of deck that steamrolls the precons it launched alongside, Pantlaza, Sun-Favored helms this dinosaur deck and helps you bring more and more creatures into play with the Discover ability.
With cards like Wakening Sun’s Avatar being a non-dino board wipe and comically large beasts like Apex Altisaur, this deck is wild right out of the box.
