Horror and retro gaming enthusiasts can score a great deal on RetroRealms Arcade Double Feature at Amazon. The recently released collection developed by WayForward adapts the two iconic horror franchises into retro-infused action-platformers with 16-bit graphics: Halloween and Ash vs Evil Dead. The standard edition is on sale for $30 (was $50) for Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, and Xbox. Meanwhile, the Special Edition is discounted to $70 (was $80) for Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox. Some of these deals are available at Walmart, Best Buy, and Target, but Amazon is the only retailer with both editions on all platforms. The PS5 Special Edition, for instance, is sold out everywhere except Amazon.
The Special Edition comes with a Michael Myers plush doll, a collectible VHS-inspired box, a poster, trading cards, and two DLC characters with unique play styles and stories. The standard edition comes with the trading cards. The "Day One" version of the standard included the DLC until November 17 for digital and physical editions. It's possible you might still get the DLC with the physical edition, but it's not guaranteed.
Outside of the Special Edition (or if you get lucky), the two playable characters cost $5 each: Laurie Strobe, lead protagonist of the Halloween films, and Kelly Maxwell from the Starz TV series Ash vs Evil Dead. Laurie has a different move set and storyline than Michael Myers. The same goes for Kelly Maxwell and Ash Williams.
