3. Nintendo Switch OLED | Mario Kart 8 Deluxe | $349.99 at Walmart
You're dropping the three months of Nintendo Switch Online we saw in these kinds of bundles before, but still picking up a rare discount on both the Nintendo Switch OLED and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe when bought together. This is essentially throwing in a free game - something we certainly don't see everyday. 

Buy it if: 

✅ You're a kart racing fan
✅ You want multiplayer options from day one

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You'd prefer the white OLED Joy-Con

Save $30 - Resident Evil 4 is half price at Amazon right now, dropping its $59.99 MSRP for a particularly cheap $29.99 in this week's Presidents Day sales. That's a return to the cheapest we've ever seen the remake - and a price that's only appeared a few times in the last couple of months. 

Buy it if: 

✅ You enjoyed the original
✅ You liked Resident Evil 8
✅ You want more action in your survival horror 

Don't buy it if:

Buy it if: 

✅ A wireless connection is a priority
✅ You'll use the extra mappable buttons
✅ You still need motion control
