The promotion is running from now until April 4 and includes quite a few first-party Switch 2 games like Donkey Kong Bananza, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and my personal top pick: Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A. To get the discount, you just need to add two eligible items to your cart and be a Target Circle member (which is free).<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A came out in October of 2025 and was a day one purchase for me. I&#8217;ve been a fan of Pok\u00e9mon games since back in the Game Boy days and have played every mainline entry so far. Legends: Z-A was my favorite new Pok\u00e9mon game in the Switch generation when it first came out, though admittedly it&#8217;s been overshadowed by Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia for me this year. Unfortunately, that game is not included in Target&#8217;s sale.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A &#8211; Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Sale<\/h2>\n<div id=\"237248\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\"><span data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"237248\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-722342313 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/03\/30\/81jav3lfojl-sl1500-1774897533400.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/03\/30\/81jav3lfojl-sl1500-1774897533400.jpg?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A &#8211; Nintendo Switch 2 Edition<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3381835873 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" disabled=\"\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>0<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Both the Switch 2 and Switch 1 versions of the game are included in this sale, with the latter being $10 cheaper. IGN had the chance to compare performance on both versions when the game first came out and found the Switch 1 version surprisingly palatable. And now that the latest Switch 2 update added Handheld Mode Boost for Switch 1 titles, you may want to consider picking up that version for the added savings.<\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-1339469126 jsx-1178573261 box jsx-2627838217\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">What we said in our review<\/h3>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">IGN reviewed this game when it first came out and gave it a solid 8 out of 10 in our review. Here&#8217;s a quick snippet of our thoughts:<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>&#8220;Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A finally feels like Game Freak hitting its stride in Pok\u00e9mon\u2019s 3D era. Lumiose City may not be visually exciting, but exciting Pokemon encounters, well-written characters, and amusing side quests still make it fun to explore while also serving as the ideal vehicle for a more intimate and emotionally mature Pok\u00e9mon story. Z-A\u2019s total battle system overhaul from turn-based to action also works surprisingly well, managing to be intuitive for series veterans and engaging to play casually while introducing all sorts of intriguing possibilities for deeper, competitive play. And while Z-A could use a little performance help on the Switch 1, it\u2019s a marked improvement from its predecessors and significantly better if you\u2019re playing on Switch 2. After several years running of putting the controller down with a deep sigh at the end of a Pok\u00e9mon review, it sure is refreshing to once again be excited to keep playing for hours more.&#8221; &#8211; <\/em><em>Rebekah Valentine<\/em><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">More Switch 2 Games Included in the Sale<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">You do need to purchase two games to get the $30 off, but thankfully there are some great options available that haven&#8217;t really been discounted since launch. Donkey Kong Bananza is included here, which was actually the only game IGN gave a perfect 10 out of 10 last year. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Jacob Kienlen is a Senior Audience Development Strategist and Writer for IGN.
