For $49/year, My Best Buy Plus gives members access to upgraded free 2-day shipping, exclusive access to member-only deals, access to launch events and an extended 60-day return/exchange window on most products. My Best Buy Total membership costs $179/year and adds extended protection plans (AppleCare+), 24/7 tech support, 20% off repairs and discounts on select services like in-home installations and haul aways.

So, what games do I recommend getting in this offer? Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are all essentials that every Switch owner should check out. These games can be hard to find on sale, so it's great to get the opportunity get one game for free of charge.

However, it's hard for me to resist a special offer on a game that hasn't released yet. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, Ace Attorney Investigations Collection and Sonic x Shadow Generations are some of the upcoming Nintendo Switch games I'm most excited about. Waiting for these games to come out will be tough, but knowing I can make a saving on these games ahead of time takes the sting away just a little.
