The best fighting game on Switch gets a Cyber Week price cut
Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate doesn't need an introduction for most gamers. The series began as a casual fighting party game with the first installment back in 1999 on the N64, but evolved into a full-fledged competitive fighter over the years with nearly 100 playable characters (including DLC content) and even more stages to battle it out with friends.

Whether you're looking to dive into the Smash Bros. world for the first time with the purchase of a new Nintendo Switch this holiday season or are just on the hunt for deals on the classics, the Cyber Week discount on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is definitely worth checking out. You can grab one of the best Switch games out there at Amazon right now for just $50 (a cool 16% discount off the normal price). Seasoned Switch owners will know that discounts on first-party Switch games are few and far between, so this is definitely a deal you'll want to take advantage of — chances are you won't see this game at a better price for quite a while.

If you own a PS5 Pro, Dragon’s Dogma 2 is the game to get during Cyber Week
A beastren in Dragon's Dogma 2.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is one of the most ambitious games to launch this year. While a wealth of technical problems held back that ambition when it was released, the experience is vastly improved on the PlayStation 5 Pro from Digital Trends' testing. As such, I highly recommend that PS5 Pro owners looking for games that take advantage of their new hardware pick up Dragon's Dogma 2 this Cyber Monday. While it typically retails at $70, Dragon's Dogma 2 is discounted to $46 on Amazon for Cyber Week.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is lighter on narrative than most other RPGs as it follows an Arisen on their quest to ultimately defeat a dragon that took their heart but did not kill them. Capcom took that approach because the true value of Dragon's Dogma 2 comes from all of the emergent moments that arise during its quest. This is a tough game, but its combat systems also feature a lot of eccentricities that make every battle feel different.

I played the first 5 hours of Monster Hunter Wilds and can’t wait to see more
Key art for Monster Hunter Wilds.

I’ve played the opening five hours of Monster Hunter Wilds and can’t wait to play more. That’s a massive change from how I’ve typically felt after playing previous games in the series.

Although I’ve attempted to get into games like Monster Hunter 4, Monster Hunter World, and Monster Hunter Rise, I’ve quickly dropped off each game. Hunts are very stressful and complex. While people adore this formula, I could never get over the initial learning curve in any Monster Hunter game I played. That changed when I got to go hands-on with Monster Hunter Wilds’ opening hours.
