Amazon is running “The Big Summer Sale Event” through September 7, and it features a multitude of discounts on all types of items. It also offers some great deals for fans of video games.

For anyone who’s ever wanted to try the Baldur’s Gate franchise on the Switch, now is a good time to snag the game. Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition is priced at $30 from $50. It features enhanced editions of Baldur’s Gate, Baldur’s Gate II, and Siege of Dragonspear. The PS4 version is priced at $24.

Deal seekers can also snag Legendary Fishing for the PS4 for $14 from $30. The game is compatible with Playstation Move to take advantage of motion controls.

A number of accessories and peripherals are on sale as well. The Sega Genesis Mini also saw a price drop, to $53 from $80. The mini throwback-console comes with 42 games, two wired controllers, a power cable, USB adapter, and an HDMI cable for your TV.

“The Sega Genesis Mini faithfully recreates Sega’s glory days with excellent hardware design and a large library of great games,” Digital Trends said in a review of the retro system.

For all of those Animal Crossing fans out there, a stainless steel double wall insulated water bottle is on sale for $20. It features characters from the popular game as designs on the bottle. Fans of Halo can get a Halo Master Chief Plush, officially licensed by Microsoft, for only $13 during the sale. It’s 6 inches tall and sits upright on flat surfaces.
