It's no secret that video gaming can be an expensive hobby. New video game releases often cost around $60, with some PS5 and Xbox Series X games selling for as high as $70. Because of how expensive gaming can be, gamers need to take advantage of deals whenever they can. With that in mind, anyone in the market for some new games should note that Amazon is currently running a Buy 3 for Price of 2 Free promotion that even includes the recently released Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

The Amazon Buy 3 for Price of 2 Free deal is live right now, but it's unclear how long it will be available for. It includes more than just video games, but the games on offer are some heavy hitters. Besides Pokemon Legends: Arceus, fans can also pick up games like Halo Infinite on Xbox and Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut on PlayStation. The deal is applied when shoppers go to checkout, so don't be surprised if the total seems a little higher than it should be after first adding them to the cart.

What's notable about this Amazon deal is that it includes Nintendo Switch exclusive games. Nintendo games are often excluded from these deals, and so anyone looking to give their Switch library a boost may want to make sure that they jump on this deal while it's live. Along with the aforementioned Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Nintendo Switch gamers can also grab popular games like Luigi's Mansion 3, Metroid Dread, New Pokemon Snap, and more.

And while Nintendo fans in general may want to jump on the Amazon Buy 3 for Price of 2 Free deal, Pokemon fans in particular should give it a look. Not only are the well-received Pokemon Legends: Arceus and New Pokemon Snap both included in the deal, but so are Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, which are only a few months old at this point.

Nintendo games rarely go down in price, so being able to grab three of them and get a huge discount is definitely something worth considering. This is especially true for the Pokemon titles, which not only rarely receive significant discounts, but also have their secondhand prices skyrocket a few years after their release.

It's unclear when exactly an opportunity like this will come along again, so anyone in the market for new games, especially Switch exclusives, should take a look while the deal is still live.
