Nintendo fans who enjoy saving money know true pain. That’s because first-party Nintendo games rarely go on sale. For months and even years after release, we’ll click hoping to find a good deal on Zelda, only to have our hopes shattered when we see the $59.99 price tag. Right now, though, you can snag Pokemon Sword or Shield for $49 each at Amazon and Walmart. Walmart is even throwing in an exclusive free keychain with each purchase. That’s the best deal we’ve seen yet on this pair of excellent RPGs.
