Daily Deals: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, SMT V: Vengeance, PSVR2, and More

The weekend is finally here, and new deals have popped up. Today, while the PSVR 2 deal remains, the majority of Sony’s back to school deals have ended. However, plenty of new deals have popped up for Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PS5. The best deals for Sunday, August 4, include Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, PSVR2, Persona 5 Tactica, Final Fantasy XVI, and more.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for $44.99

For the first time since launch, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Nintendo Switch is available on sale. This classic RPG is perfect for anyone, even if you’ve never played an RPG before. The Thousand-Year Door features a loveable cast of characters, a fun combat system, and, overall, a refreshing take on the classic Mario formula.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance for $39.99

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is back down to its all-time low price! SMT V: Vengeance is an enhanced version of the former Nintendo Switch exclusive SMT V, launched in 2019. The biggest feature available in this upgraded re-release is the all new Canon of Vengeance route, which is essentially 40 hours of new story content. At $39.99, this is a steal for what will likely end up being one of the most popular RPGs of the year.

PSVR2 for $349.99

You can score a new PlayStation VR2 headset for a record-low $349.99 right now at Amazon. This VR headset has all sorts of high-end features, including a 110-degree FOV, 4K HDR visuals, eye tracking, and more. Plus, the PC Adapter is set to release in just a few days, which will allow you to play Steam VR titles through the PSVR2 headset. While it’s certainly a tough buy if you play exclusively on PS5, the PSVR2 can make for an excellent PC headset, especially at this price.

Final Fantasy XVI for $29.99

Final Fantasy XVI for PlayStation 5 has hit a new all time low at Amazon at $29.99. As one of the biggest titles of 2023, FFXVI brings a wide variety of new systems and elements to the world of Final Fantasy. You play as Clive Rosfield on a mission to track down the one who killed your brother as a child. You can expect larger-than-life setpieces, mesmerizing boss battles, and a memorable soundtrack from Masayoshi Soken.

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD for $44.99

Launched at the very end of June, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD is a massive upgrade from the original 3DS title. Developers of Skyward Sword HD, Tantalus, have provided key new HD upgrades, including hundreds of new textures, animations, and more. If you’re looking for another spooky experience on Nintendo Switch, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD is the perfect game this Summer!

Persona 5 Tactica for $19.99

Amazon has Persona 5 Tactica listed for $19.99, matching the all-time low for this title. This action-packed adventure takes the Phantom Thieves into a new adventure with tactical combat. If you enjoyed Persona 5 Royal or Persona 5 Strikers, P5 Tactica should be a game on your radar. Erina, a character new to the series, is a great addition to an already amazing cast of characters.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for $49.99

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is also on sale, priced now at $49.99. This matches the previous low, which occurred during the Days of Play sale earlier this year. Spider-Man 2 features both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as playable characters, with a whole new area of New York to explore. You can swing through the city with new suit abilities like Web Wings and take down criminals all around. You’ll need to be prepared, as both Kraven the Hunter and the symbiote Venom are prepared to take you down and rule over NYC.

God of War Ragnarok for $39.99

Years later, God of War Ragnarok is still one of the best PS5 games you can pick up. This action game acts as the sequel to 2018’s God of War, following Kratos and Atreus as Fimbulwinter looms. If you’ve yet to play this game, this is a great time to pick up Ragnarok at a discount and see why so many players love this series. $39.99 is a fantastic price, and you’re not likely to see anything lower outside of major holiday sales toward the end of the year.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu No Yaiba- Sweep the Board! for $29.99

Sweep the Board! is the latest game from Demon Slayer – Kimetsu no Yaiba-, focusing on a fun, party-like title that is extremely similar to Mario Party. You play as Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and the rest of the Demon Slayer cast as they traverse through multiple party boards and complete minigames against each other.

Pinch yourselves, it’s August, summer’s end is approaching, and we’re here to talk about video games gone by. Yep, it’s time to look back at last month and talk about July’s eShop Selects.

Nintendo has had another fairly quiet month on the Switch — Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition was the big one, with the likes of Ace Combat 7‘s long-awaited Switch port proving to be a top-tier rerelease. But the eShop has been booming, as per usual. That’s what we focus on for eShop Selects, and as usual, our staff and contributors vote for their top three eShop games from the list of games we’ve reviewed, and we give you the winners (and the best of the rest).

Poll: Box Art Brawl: Mega Man Zero 3

Third time’s a charm.

Welcome back to another edition Box Art Brawl!

Last week’s bout saw us chucking Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow for the Nintendo DS into the ring. The designs for this one were pretty similar, all told, but Europe ultimately lost out with its lack of supporting characters and, uh, copious stickers. North America and Japan bagged an impressive 73% of the vote, so well done!

How to Redeem Dress to Impress Codes

To redeem Dress to Impress codes, follow the steps below to claim free rewards in DTI:

  1. Open the Dress to Impress Roblox experience.
  2. Click on the handbag icon on the right-hand side to open the DTI Codes menu.
  3. Enter your code in the “Type here…” field.
  4. Click the checkmark icon to redeem the code.

Why Isn’t My Dress to Impress Code Working?

If the code you’re trying to redeem in DTI isn’t working, it’s likely because of one of the two following reasons:

  • The Dress to Impress code is expired
  • There’s a spelling mistake in the code

When inputting a Dress to Impress code in Roblox, make sure it’s spelled correctly (for example, a capital I isn’t a lowercase l and vice versa) and that there are no spaces before or after the code. We’d recommend copy and pasting straight from our article to ensure it’s correct. If your DTI code still isn’t working, it’s more than likely expired.

How to Get More DTI Codes

To get more Dress to Impress codes, the best way is to join the DTI Discord server. While we check for new codes often, the quickest way to know about new Dress to Impress codes is to follow the Roblox experience’s official Discord server where updates are posted in real time.

Demon’s Souls for $29.99

Demon’s Souls has returned to an all-time low with the PlayStation Back to School sale. For $29.99, you can expirence this Bluepoint Games remake of one of FromSoftware’s most memorable titles.

Amazon has Persona 5 Tactica listed for $19.99, matching the all-time low for this title. This action-packed adventure takes the Phantom Thieves into a new adventure with tactical combat.

Together, Rivet and Ratchet must work to take down Doctor Nefarious and save the galaxy once again. With the classic action gameplay and new features, Rift Apart is an excellent platform you should play if you are a fan of the genre.

God of War Ragnarok for $39.99

To date, this is still one the most tactical games you can buy on PS5, with dozens of hours of action awaiting. At $29.99, it’s not likely that we’ll see this title go much lower, if at all.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition on Sale for $39.99

Amazon has Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition listed for $39.99, which is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen. This is an amazing deal since you’re essentially getting both Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Spider-Man Remastered for under $20 each. Both rarely go on sale for that low, so this is your best option to pick up these games.

K.K. Rider.

The second round of LEGO Animal Crossing sets brings two key locales from your Animal Crossing: New Horizons island to life in Danish brick form. Alongside the Dodo Airlines terminal, K.K. Slider makes his Lego debit in the K.K.’s Concert at the Plaza set.
