Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle 1987: The Complete Classic Series (DVD)
See at AmazonNo matter how old you are, there's a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series that'll remind you of those Saturday morning cartoon marathons. For fans who were there from the beginning, you can pick up the original 1987 animated series on DVD with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Complete Classic Series, which is over 20% off during the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle 1987: The Complete Classic Series (DVD) $22.49 (was $34)This is a recently new DVD release of the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, as it was released in October 2024. It includes all 193 episodes that aired across 10 seasons from 1987 to 1996, and it's a family-friendly adaptation of the Mirage Comics characters that is still fondly remembered today.

For the extras, there are several "Under the shell" featurettes on key characters, a nostalgic look back at the show, and a retrospective on how the iconic IP was created, for over three hours of bonus content.
- Under the shell with Krang and Slash
- Under the shell with the Shredder
- Under the shell with Usagi Yojmbo
- Under the shell with Baxter Stockman
- A Shellebration of the TV sensation
- A Shellebration of the Turtles creation

Sticking with the classic theme, the original trilogy of TMNT live-action movies recently got a big 4K upgrade from Arrow Video. Originally priced at $100 when preorders launched in August, the TMNT Trilogy 4K Blu-ray box is currently selling for $70 and the standard Blu-ray version has dropped from $95 to $65. The 4K Blu-ray edition of the original 1990 movie was restored from the original 35mm camera negatives, while the second and third films in the trilogy were restored from the original 35mm interpositives.
Like other Arrow Video releases, you get fancy packaging and collectible inserts with this limited edition release. Each film also supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, lossless stereo audio, and Dolby Atmos surround sound, and for bonus materials, the movies come with new director's audio commentaries, newly filmed interviews with the cast and crew, and archival special features.

FromSoft's massively popular--and just plain massive in general--received a co-op spinoff called Elden Ring: Nightreign earlier this year. The game sees groups of 1-3 players teaming up to take on the titanic threats in the new realm of Limgrave. It's been a hit with fans and critics alike, but it's also a big departure from the gameplay of the original Elden Ring. If you've been on the fence, now is a great time to give it a chance, as the Amazon-exclusive Elden Ring: Nightreign Deluxe Edition is discounted to $45 for Big Deals Days. This retailer-exclusive edition offers access to post-launch DLC, a mini digital soundtrack, and a digital art book. It also comes with an exclusive poster of Nightreign's key art in the box. The deal applies to PS5 or Xbox Series X of the game--but it's only available during Prime Big Deal Days on October 7 and 8.
Elden Ring Nightreign $45 (was $55)While the combat mechanics in Nightreign are identical to Elden Ring, the overall structure is where you'll see some big differences. Players team up, choose a boss they want to fight, and then set off on an expedition that takes around 35- to 45-minutes to complete. This journey is split across three in-game days, as during the day your team will explore the land of Limveld--an alternate version of Elden Ring's Limgrave--and level up for the fight ahead of them.
Before your squad gets to the main boss, they'll have to take on smaller bosses as the map closes in on them, and on the third day, the grand showdown begins. This core gameplay loop has gone over well with fans, and it has been further polished with post-launch support since then.
"Elden Ring's DNA is ever-present, but Nightreign is also a game of striking subversions: a From Software game that asks you to play it unconventionally, disregarding meticulous exploration, isolation, and measured combat for a cooperative multiplayer game built on speed and aggression. In many ways, it's the antithesis of what people typically come to From Software games for, and yet somehow, someway, this experimental non-sequel is an absolute triumph," Richard Wakeling wrote in GameSpot's Elden Ring: Nightrein review.
Elden Ring Nightreign For PS5 Elden Ring Nightreign for Xbox Series XIf you haven't played it yet, the original Elden Ring game is also on sale. Amazon is offering the PS4 physical edition for $30 (was $40), while the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions have been discounted to $40 (were $50). If you're planning to play on PS5, the PS4 deal is the best one here because Bandai Namco released a free upgrade for it a few years ago. This added an optional performance mode on PS5 that targets 60fps, increased graphical quality, ray tracing, and several other tweaks to Elden Ring's visuals. Elden Ring is considered to be one of From Software's greatest games, and is well worth picking up while it's discounted.

This ditches the serious tone of the games, as it gives readers a humorous tour through Limgrave. The illustrations also do an accurate job of recreating the look and feel of the games, and several familiar faces pop up throughout the story.

The Skyrim Library: Volumes 1-3 Box Set (Hardcover)
See at AmazonThe world of Skyrim felt alive when players first ventured into it, and not just because of the graphics and map size; the mountain of discoverable texts gave Bethesda's fantasy world a level of narrative depth rarely seen in AAA games at the time. To read all of those compelling pieces of lore, you need to travel all over the province in search of parchment--or crack open The Skyrim Library. For Prime Big Deal Days, Elder Scrolls fans can get The Skyrim Library 3-Volume Box Set for only $44.79 (was $110) at Amazon. To secure the full discount, click the coupon box on the store page.
The Skyrim Library: Volumes 1-3 Box Set (Hardcover) $44.79 (was $110) with couponPublished by Titan Books in 2017, The Skyrim Library is a collection of three hardcover books compiling every piece of text from the game--and there's a lot of text in Skyrim. Amazon's listing says the box set is 232 pages, but each book is 232 pages. The box set is just shy of 700 pages total.
The lore and historical texts are accompanied and enhanced by beautiful illustrations, making this a must-have for big Skyrim fans.
The other nice thing about this collection is the presentation, as the display box is designed to mimic one of the dusty old books found in a forgotten corner of Skyrim. The box has a fold-out lid with a giant mural of Alduin, the ferocious dragon who serves as the main villain in the game.
Here are the three hardcover books included in this set:
- Volume I: The Histories -- $22.51 ($35)
- Volume II: Man, Mer, and Beast -- $20.88 ($35)
- Volume III: The Arcane -- $26.40 ($35)
If you purchased all three books separately right now, you'd spend roughly $70 and miss out on the cool display case.
See at AmazonYou could display your Alduin-themed book box set next to a model of the dragon you piece together yourself. The officially licensed 619-piece Skyrim Mega Bloks set is on sale for 30% off at Amazon. It's pretty awesome, and this is the lowest price we've seen. Side note: there are two Mega Bloks sets based on Bethesda's Fallout franchise, too.

The October edition of Walmart Deals is live now with promotions on just about every category of product you can think of that the retailer stocks--and Walmart carries just about everything. Although we wish Walmart would pick a distinct name for this sale, that doesn't change the fact that there are a lot of great offers in Walmart Deals. From video game hardware and computing tech to heaps of licensed toys, collectibles, and plushies, Walmart has a wide-ranging selection of notable discounts that are worth checking out.
Walmart Deals: Most Popular
Walmart Deals is the biggest sale the retailer has hosted since the July iteration of the same event. The summer sale was a response to Prime Day, while this week's event is squaring off against Amazon Prime Big Deal Days. And like Amazon's other competition, including Target Circle Week and Best Buy Techtober, Walmart Deals runs longer than Amazon's 48-hour Prime Big Deal Days sale (October 7-8). Walmart's week-long sales event ends October 12. But since Amazon matches competitor prices so often, Big Deal Days will still be going strong days after it technically ends.

Lego Super Mario Piranha Plant (540 Pieces)
See at Amazon See at WalmartThe adorable Lego Super Mario Piranha Plant is on sale for its lowest price ever at Amazon and Walmart. Normally $60, the 540-piece display model is up for grabs for only $35. Amazon's deal is available for everyone--though it certainly could sell out--but you need a Walmart+ membership to get the deal from Walmart. It's one of the marquee Lego deals in Walmart's new sale that's running alongside Prime Big Deal Days.
If Walmart doesn't sell out of the deal before October 6 at 9 PM PT, then it will be available to purchase for all shoppers. But as mentioned, you can grab the deal from Amazon without a membership of any kind.
The Piranha Plant has remained a consistent bestseller among Super Mario Lego sets at major retailers since its 2023 release, so this deal is unlikely to remain in stock for the duration of Walmart Deals and Prime Big Deal Days.

The follow-up to Yacht Club's indie hit Shovel Knight will have to wait a little longer, as the studio has announced that Mina the Hollower will be delayed out of its previously announced Halloween release date. While Yacht Club said this delay will be a short one, it isn't prepared to nail down an exact date just yet.
"This week, our team made a tough decision: we decided to delay Mina the Hollower," the team wrote on its official site. "The entire crew has been working tirelessly day and night to finish development for release on October 31, but we’re just not quite there yet. This isn’t a major delay, it’s just a stretch of time to apply some final polish and balancing to make the game truly shine."
Though the delay is short, though, Yacht Club said it doesn't want to announce a new release date until it's submitted to all platforms. In the meantime, it's working on finalizing design, art, and sound, game balancing, localization, and testing. And eating cheese.

Last year, Nintendo sued James Williams, a moderator for a Switch pirates page on Reddit who posted under the name Archbox. Now, Nintendo has set the damages it wants from the court, and it could leave Williams with a penalty for several million dollars.
Nintendo's legal complaint has been posted online (via Oatmeal Dome), and it's asking for $4.5 million because it contends that Williams operated multiple Switch piracy sites, sold hardware hacks, and offered modified Switch consoles with pirated games. It also alleges that he refused to comply when the company sent him a cease-and-desist order. The complaint notes that Williams stopped acknowledging Nintendo's requests, which led to the lawsuit against him.
Last year, a separate report revealed how Nintendo played detective to identify Williams as the person behind the Archbox Reddit account. Williams' allegedly shared personal details online that helped narrow the search, and he also sent in his Switch to Nintendo for repairs. Nintendo was granted a default judgement against Williams because he didn't plead his case in court before the scheduled deadlines.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was the biggest-selling game of the year in the United States for 2024, and it set a franchise record as well. However, the decision to make Black Ops 6 a day-one launch title for Xbox Game Pass reportedly cost the Call of Duty franchise millions of dollars.
According to Bloomberg, a former Microsoft employee disclosed that Call of Duty console and PC sales were $300 million lower in 2024 than they were in 2023. As previously disclosed, 82% of all Black Ops 6 sales came from PlayStation consoles.
One of the primary reasons Microsoft purchased COD publisher Activision Blizzard was to get new exclusive titles for Game Pass and drive the growth of that subscription service. However, Bloomberg's report notes that Game Pass' subscriber growth has slowed significantly since 2020, and Microsoft hasn't shared its subscriber numbers since it hit 34 million in February 2024.
