The weekend is officially here, and we’ve rounded up the best deals you can find! Discover the best deals for Sunday, November 10, below:
The first six Final Fantasy titles paved the way for the series as we see it today. Many fans still regard both Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy VI as some of the best that Final Fantasy has to offer, with gripping narratives and engaging gameplay. This package includes all six Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters, which feature updated graphics, soundtracks, font, and more.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership is the first Mario & Luigi title on Nintendo Switch, acting as the first new entry in the series in over nine years. Developed by Acquire, this is the first 3D entry in the series, with plenty of new mechanics to discover. Join Mario and Luigi on this adventure to reconnect the world of Concordia and set sail to many islands on Shipshape Island!
Bloober Team’s remake of Silent Hill 2 is on sale at Woot this weekend for $59.99. Recreating one of Konami’s most beloved titles was never going to be easy, but the Silent Hill 2 remake delivers an immersive horror experience that preserves almost everything that made the original so great. In our 8/10 review, we said the game “smoothly polishes down the rough edges of the original game’s combat while taking a piece of heavy grit sandpaper to scuff up every rust and mold-covered surface of its nightmarish environments, successfully making them appear far more abrasive and menacing to explore.”
Arcane: League of Legends Season 2 is officially out today, and this is a great deal if you’ve yet to watch Season 1. The complete Season 1 4K UHD Blu-ray collection is only $34.99 at Amazon, which is $25 off its standard price. Packed inside a unique Steelbook, this is perfect for both new viewers and even the biggest of Arcane fans.
This weekend, you can save $700 off this UltraGear 45″ OLED curved monitor. With a resolution of 1440p and a refresh rate of 240Hz, you can expect a fantastic experience that is perfect for gaming. The OLED panel allows for high color accuracy and a wider viewing angle, so this monitor is also a great option for watching video content or movies.
If you don’t own either an Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5, it’s not likely you have a quality 4K UHD Blu-ray Player. This weekend, you can save $90 off this Sony UBP-X700 model, which supports 4K upscaling, HDR10, Dolby Vision, and more. The player even has a HDR-SDR converter, allowing you to watch content on any display with vivid colors.
The Sony WH-1000XM5 Headphones are some of the best you can find on the market. Sony made tremendous improvements from previous models, with major upgrades to both noise cancelation and sound quality. In our 9/10 review, we said, “The Sony WH-1000XM5 is hands down the best sounding and most impressive noise-canceling headphones around.”
Sonic X Shadow Generations just released last month, and you can already save $10 off a Nintendo Switch copy at Woot. This package includes a remastered version of Sonic Generations and a brand-new campaign focused on Shadow. Both 2D and 3D levels are included, making for the ultimate package for any Sonic fan.
The remake of Super Mario RPG is $31.99 at Woot right now, which is a great price for this classic title. If you’ve yet to either play the original or check out the remake, this is the perfect time to do so. Composer Yoko Shimimura returned to compose the remake’s original soundtrack, and each boss and environment has been expertly recrafted for the Nintendo Switch.
This weekend, you can save on the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The next chapter of Cal’s journey is set years after the ending of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. New lightsaber styles, planets, and more await.
“40 years in the making”.

My brain is still thawing for the comment freeze, and thus there is sadly no cool industry person to talk to us about books this week. I’m currently reading Tony Tulathimutte’s Rejection. Jia Tolentino wrote about it for the New Yorker. Jia Tolentino also writes very good books. But enough about books, tell me about books! One’s you’ve read, preferably, but I will also accept books you’ve formed opinions on based on their covers, as is good and proper. Book for now!
A universal horror.
Indie developer Akiragoya doesn’t just want you to get better at their latest shmup Angel at Dusk. They want to improve your prospects across the entire genre. Though taking a glance at the new Switch port of their distinctly grotesque work, you’d be forgiven for thinking the opposite is true.
Set deep in a future where pleasure, sin, crime, and more have been eradicated by scientific progress, Angel at Dusk presents an aggressive arcade bullet-hell shooter built around a meticulously repulsive futuristic body horror theme. The levels are formed from tangled masses of pustulating body parts, held together by ribbons of glistening sinew – an aesthetic that carries over to the monstrous enemy craft. Most moments through the game’s various modes, meanwhile, are filled with dense, intense bullet curtains, while elaborate intersecting mechanical systems focus on high-risk play. Hypercasual or cosy, Angel at Dusk is not.

Hats off.
Welcome one and all, to another edition of Box Art Brawl (hey, that rhymes)!
Last week, we looked at a brand-new release with Sonic X Shadow Generations, Sega’s latest (and greatest) 3D Sonic title for the Switch. North America and Europe went against Japan for this one, and it was the latter that came out on top with 60% of the vote. A good effort from the Western regions, but Japan’s definitely brings back a few more memories of SA2.
