According to Amazon, the “new release” window is defined as any day within the first two weeks after a game’s launch, and the deal will only be valid for physical copies.

Collector’s Editions are also eligible for the Prime discount, but “the offer does not apply to product bundles including but not limited to console game bundles”.
If you’re an Amazon Prime member and are looking forward to upcoming games like Kingdom Hearts 3, Dark Souls 3, Zelda Wii U, and the insanely anticipated Final Fantasy VII: Remake, then we’ve got some good news for you. The discount itself doesn’t apply until checkout, so you’ll see the normal price on the game’s store page until you move into the checkout phase, where the discount will take effect.
This continues to pronounce Prime as one of the best deals out there for anyone, with the offerings now extending to TV, movie and video game fans, as well as anyone who likes to order items and have them delivered within two days.
Essentially, however, the offering is a noticeable discount on new games that wasn’t there before. The sale effectively brings a pre-order price from $59.99 to a more manageable $48, and Amazon’s day-one guarantee means you’ll get the game as soon as it’s released.

Where this discount might serve you better could be on the Lucas Amiibo, as he can’t be pre-ordered for shipping at Best Buy right now, but you can save 20% on him at Amazon right now. Will this service help Amazon compete with the beloved Steam shopping experience?
