Amazon’s Prime Day sale has been delivering a lot of Nintendo Switch 2 deals, but the retailer has dropped a surprise discount on one of last year’s most popular Switch 2 games: Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
As of June 24, the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Pokémon Legends: Z-A is on sale for $44.99 at Amazon, a 36% markdown from its $69.99 list price. A Prime Day price exclusive, you will need an Amazon Prime membership to get the full discount.
Now at its lowest-ever price (confirmed with price tracker camelcamelcamel), this is one of the standout Prime Day deals for gamers.
Compared with the standard Switch release, the Switch 2 Edition adds improved performance with a higher frame rate and resolution, so Lumiose City should look and run better on the newer hardware.
The game takes place entirely in Lumiose City, the Kalos region metropolis first introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Instead of being spread across a whole region, everything fun about a Pokémon game is condensed into one giant city: packing wild zones, shops, restaurants, Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon, and the nightly Z-A Royale competition where you climb from Rank Z to Rank A.

As mentioned in Mashable’s Pokémon Legends: Z-A review, the real-time combat is the best feature of all — mechanics have been "refreshingly reimagined."
