Ahead of the Black Friday sale event next week, there have been some excellent video game deals already popping up across various retailers.

If you're using this opportunity to stock up your library with some new picks to play over the holidays, we've come across plenty of discounts worth your time and money.

At the moment, Amazon is offering very nice deals on Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake for Nintendo Switch 2 (which has dropped to $49.99) and Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake for Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X (all down to $34.99).

If these games have been on your shopping list, now is a great time to grab them.

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake usually retails with a price tag of $59.99, but this discount has dropped it down 17% so you can save $10 on it. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, on the other hand, is down a whopping 42% from its $59.99 price, which is a very nice deal for those who have been wanting to pick it up.

Both of these received very high praise from us with glowing 9/10 scores in their respective reviews. IGN's Logan Plant said Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake "is a shining example of how to remake a classic RPG and a brilliant reminder of why the original is an essential work," while writer George Yang said of the Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake that it recaptures "the retro magic of the originals while giving them a modern facelift."
