Previous Best Buy 12 Days of Gaming offers have included good prices on major Nintendo video games, discounted PlayStation Store gift cards, and gaming headsets.

The latest Best Buy 12 Days of Gaming sale is all about Nintendo's Amiibo figures. For the uninitiated, Amiibo figures are essentially toys modeled after Nintendo characters that can actually give players bonuses in games. Amiibo use NFC technology and function as "toys to life" products, with players able to place Amiibo figures on their Nintendo Switch consoles for things to happen in games that support the technology.

It's interesting how much The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD has been represented in these Best Buy 12 Days of Gaming sale. The very first deal was a discount on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, the enhanced version of the critically-acclaimed Wii Zelda game that originally released in 2011. Since Nintendo games and products rarely go on sale, this event has proven quite lucrative for fans of the Big N.

There are four more days of the Best Buy 12 Days of Gaming sale remaining, and it will definitely be interesting to see what's next. The sales have mostly focused on individual video game releases so far, but it's clear that hardware is always a possibility as well. Best Buy customers will have to check back in the days ahead to see what else in store.

These advent calendar-style countdown deals have proven consistently popular with gamers, and Best Buy isn't the only one getting in on the action. While it has yet to officially debut, it's believed that the Epic Games Store mystery game promotion will be coming back this year, so fans should hang tight for more information on that front.
