It's the most festive time of the year, and if you're looking to do some last-minute gift-shopping, what's better than a bundle of classic '80s action movies? Available exclusively on Amazon, cinephiles--or shoppers looking to get something for their dad--can grab the Totally Awesome 80s 4K Blu-ray bundle.

Totally Awesome 80s Box Set (4K) $55

• Beverly Hills Cop
• Ferris Bueller's Day Off
• Top Gun
• Trading Places
• The Untouchables

That's a nice selection of some of the decade's most notable action, comedy, and drama flicks. The 4K Blu-ray releases for each film support Dolby Vision, HDR10, and Dolby Atmos audio, and offer their own selection of bonus materials, including new behind-the-scenes documentaries, deleted scenes, music videos, audio commentary tracks, and more.

If you've never seen these films, then you've missed out on some of the most influential movies of all time. Top Gun was a blockbuster hit that cemented Tom Cruise's stardom, combining incredible aerial photography and action set against some of the era's chart-topping pop and rock songs. Ferris Bueller's Day Off, one of John Hughes' best films, follows Bueller (Mathew Broderick), his girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara), and his best bud Cameron (Alan Ruck) as they take an unscheduled break from school. The Untouchables is a ruthless turn-of-the-century gangster movie with an all-star cast, while Trading Places saw John Landis put his own spin on Wall Street, and Beverly Hills Cop is a breakout action-comedy hit that made Eddie Murphy a household name.

Lots more vintage movie Blu-rays are currently on sale, if you're hunting for easy stocking-stuffers. James Bond fans can pick up various bundles dedicated to different 007 eras, or for a license to thrill, there's The James Bond Collection of 24-film Blu-rays for only $55 (was $120).

Donkey Kong and Pauline Amiibo

$20 (was $30)

Get deal at Amazon

Donkey Kong fans can grab the Donkey Kong Bananza Amiibo for $20 (was $30) at Amazon right now. This is a Lightning Deal with limited quantities. At the time of writing, over 20% of the available Donkey Kong and Pauline Amiibo figures have been claimed. Amazon also has deals on two Amiibo figures that launched alongside the Nintendo Switch 2: Yunobo from The Legend of Zelda and Jamie from Street Fighter 6 are available for $8 each. Meanwhile, GameStop has all seven Switch 2 Amiibo launch figures for $6 each.

• The Legend of Zelda: Yunobo Amiibo -- $8 ($30)
• Street Fighter 6: Jamie Amiibo -- $8 ($40)
• Donkey Kong Bananza: Donkey Kong and Pauline -- $20 ($30)

Donkey Kong and Pauline Amiibo $20 (was $30)

Based on DK's wide smile, we imagine he's punching his way to a Banandium Gem. He's also moving fast because Pauline's legs are dangling in the air. The uneven ground beneath DK's feet aligns with rocky terrain found in Ingot Isle, Lagoon Layer, and other locales from the game.

As for its functionality in the game, scanning the Donkey Kong and Pauline Amiibo grants two main perks. You can unlock Pauline's Diva Dress a lot earlier in your adventure with the Amiibo. The Diva Dress doubles the likelihood of enemies dropping music discs. To unlock the Diva Dress, you need to talk to the NPC shaped like the Amiibo in the Resort Layer. The NPC will ask you to show them the Amiibo to claim your reward. Without the Amiibo, this particular outfit is locked behind post-game challenges.

Scanning the Bananza Amiibo also spawns gold KONG letters that can be smashed to refill Bananergy. KONG tiles can also be spawned by scanning older Donkey Kong Amiibo figures.

King K. Rool Amiibo (Donkey Kong)

$18 (was $20)

Preorder at Best Buy

Most Amiibo figures featuring Donkey Kong characters are out of print, but King K. Rool received a Best Buy-exclusive reprint in September. Normally $20, Best Buy is selling the figure for $18. King K. Rool is the priciest preowned Amiibo in the series sold at GameStop, so fans who are interested in adding King K. Rool to their collection should snag one from Best Buy sooner rather than later. GameStop has two older Donkey Kong Amiibo for $18 each and two Diddy Kong Amiibo for $20 each. Amazon also has the Smash Bros. Series Donkey Kong Amiibo for $20, which would be its MSRP if reprinted today.

A sizeable portion of Nintendo Switch 2 players have been very vocal about their opposition to Game-Key Cards that allow players to digitally download a game rather than including it on a cartridge. But there's at least one publisher that's taken this criticism to heart by switching gears from This may be a welcome development for Nintendo Switch 2 players who hate Game-Key Cards back to cartridges, thanks to the new size options offered by Nintendo.

Inin Games shared the news that its upcoming US and European run of R-Type Dimensions III is going to be released on a physical cartridge instead of a Game-Key Cards. The company also cited a recalculation of the production prices as a reason for the change. Apparently it's cheaper to release a game on Game-Key Cards, but the rumored measures taken by Nintendo apparently lowered the price for cartridges as well.

Game-Key Cards have been in physical Nintendo Switch 2 game boxes, but those cards don't actually include any game data. Instead, the Game-Key Cards allow the console to download the game from the internet.

It's lonely out in space, especially if you're a Starfield player waiting for any word about the next major update coming to the game. Bethesda's space-based game will receive an additional story DLC, it's just a matter of when. Now, a new report suggests that the delay of Grand Theft Auto 6 played a role in Bethesda's decision to push back its next Starfield chapter.

According to Windows Central, Bethesda "felt more comfortable" about pushing Starfield's second DLC to the first half of 2026 because Microsoft already had a "busy holiday period" for 2025 without it. More intriguingly, the same report indicates that Bethesda has already been showing off the new update and DLC behind closed doors to a select group of players.

One of the rumored changes is a revamp of the game's space flight systems that will actually make travel feel like a journey instead of a series of loading screens. Other aspects of space travel and exploration are also said to be improved in the new update, and the Creation Engine will reportedly include "large technical improvements ... that will also carry forward to future games."

The Witcher and Cyberpunk developer CD Projekt Red is the latest company to sound off on the use of AI in gaming. During CD Projekt Red's latest earnings briefing, Joint CEO Michał Nowakowski said there are "meaningful" and "real" benefits to using the technology.

The company is already implementing such technologies "mainly in the productivity areas" and so far that's where the "largest benefits" have stemmed from, he explained, as reported by GamesRadar. A developer won't be able to use AI to make an entire game, though, and humans will remain essential to the process, he said.

"The benefits are real, they’re meaningful; but it's not a situation--and I'm unaware of such a situation--where AI could 'sit down and make games.' That's our take. It doesn't mean it's not gonna be useful, but it's not gonna be making The Witcher 5, or 6, or anything like that," Nowakowski explained.

Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster

$30 (was $40) | Limited-time deal

Get deal at Amazon

Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster flew under the radar when it released exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2 as a launch title in June. If you're a fan of traditional turn-based RPGs made by Square Enix, we'd highly recommend checking it out--especially now that it has received its first discount. Amazon Prime members can get Bravely Default HD Remaster for $30 (was $40). This is a limited-time Lightning Deal.

Bravely Default originally released on Nintendo 3DS in Japan in 2012. An expanded version of Flying Fairy arrived in North America in 2014, so the Switch 2 edition is technically the third iteration of the thoroughly nostalgic turn-based RPG. Bravely Default is one of the best games from the Nintendo 3DS era, and the remaster is great for newcomers and returning players alike.

IO Interactive has been telling the story of Agent 47 for 25 years now, but soon the Hitman studio is about to embark on a new journey, with a character steeped in even more history. 007: First Light looks to take a new approach to James Bond by digging into his early life as an agent, while meeting some unique and colorful characters along the way.

At The Game Awards, the game's first villain--the pirate king Bawma--was revealed, along with confirmation that actor and musician Lenny Kravitz will assume the role. Earlier in the year, IO confirmed that one of Bond's trusted associates, Dr. Selina Tan, will be portrayed by English actress Gemma Chan.

GameSpot sat down with 007: First Light narrative director Martin Emborg to talk about the star power fueling his game, the potential pitfalls of revealing too much info too soon, and a little bit more about where Bond will run into Bawma during this adventure.

The Safehouse in the Hills update has finally been released in GTA Online, and there are a few major highlights. Naturally, most players will gravitate to either buying a mansion or the fresh set of missions, including the new Michael mission. However, perhaps the most exciting piece of content in the update is the Mission Creator.

This feature is revolutionary for GTA Online, and also likely gives us a glimpse into what Rockstar Games has planned for Grand Theft Auto 6. But what exactly makes the Mission Creator so important, and how do you use it in GTA Online?

How to access the GTA Online Mission Creator

First things first, how do you open the Mission Creator? As soon as you download the Safehouse in the Hills update, you can head into GTA Online and follow these steps to find the Mission Creator menu:

Christmas is around the corner and one of Universal Studios' biggest attractions is the meet-and-greet with The Grinch. Meeting Whoville's Christmas curmudgeon can take up to over five hours with the lines, but with social interactions going viral, it's hard not to resist a photo and a few minutes with the beloved monster.

The interactions are fairly quick; you can maybe get a quick question in, and then the photo, and be on your way. Fortnite creative developer Immature asked Mr. Grinch if he played Fortnite. Innocent enough, but in the typical Grinch way, he turned sour on the game, saying it got boring and needed him to be in it.

"I used to, but then it got boring. Very boring. But I know they're always releasing new skins and characters. I heard that [Marty] McFly guy is in there now. I heard Eminem was in there--there's a bunch of new things. When are they going to put me in there? If I was in the game, it would be fantastic, but since I'm not..."

Writer-director Hideo Kojima has shared more thoughts on AI, this time saying he believes the technology is here to stay and "we can't go back."

Speaking to Nikkei Xtrend, as translated by GamesRadar, Kojima said, "Now there are so many people who can't live without their smartphones. AI is like that."

He added: "I think there isn't any point in saying 'We shouldn't use AI' or 'AI is useless.' We can't go back. Smartphones were the same."

Arcade1Up The Fast & The Furious Deluxe Arcade Cabinet

$500 (was $600)

See at Amazon

If you’re looking to start the New Year with a refreshed game room, take a peek at Amazon’s current offer for Arcade1Up’s The Fast & The Furious Deluxe Arcade. The retailer is slashing prices on a long list of arcade cabinets, but few are seeing the full $100 discount of The Fast & The Furious Deluxe--which is currently listed for its best price of the year. But since the arcade cabinet was sold out the other week, we can’t imagine this offer will stick around for long.

Arcade1Up The Fast & The Furious Deluxe Arcade Cabinet $500 (was $600)

Arcade1Up The Fast & The Furious Deluxe Arcade Cabinet features two arcade games: The Fast & The Furious and The Fast & The Furious: Drift. Four machines can be linked via your local network for competitive play, and there’s an online leaderboard for you to track your performance. The cabinet stands over 64 inches tall and weighs nearly 70lbs. It sports a 17-inch LCD display, integrated speakers, and colorful artwork from the game. The control panel features a steering wheel rather than a set of buttons. At the bottom of the cabinet are gas and brake pedals and a molded faux coin door.

The Fast & The Furious Deluxe Cabinet is part of a larger Arcade1Up sales event, which is one of the best we’ve seen this year. Three Deluxe Cabinets are on sale, with the NBA Jam model also seeing a $100 price cut. For something smaller, the Ms. Pac-Man / Galaga Countercade is $130 (was $150), and it’s the ideal size for a countertop or table. The Mortal Kombat II Classic Special Edition is also getting its first price cut. These deals come after the company announced it was closing last week, only to be acquired by toy manufacturer Basic Fun--so it looks like the cabinet brand is, thankfully, sticking around for now. Check out more Arcade1Up deals below.

For more chaotic racing action, take a look at Fast & Furious: Arcade Edition. Launched in October, it’s now available for $20 (was $30). The deal applies to the Switch and PS5 versions, both of which let you cruise around in eight iconic cars from the movies--such as a Dodge Charger, Corvette Z06, and Shelby GT500 KR. Local multiplayer is also supported--so if you'd rather not buy two Arcade1Up cabinets and link them together, this is a much cheaper way to get your competitive fix.

Game-Key Cards have been divisive since they were first introduced, but the good news is that the full R-Type Dimensions 3 game will be on the Switch 2 cartridge. The bad news? You're going to have to pay a little bit extra for that side-scrolling shoot-'em-up, as the price is going up to €70.

It's worth noting that those who already preordered the physical Special Edition will not see their price change.

Publisher Inin Games had previously explained that switching the entire run to standard cartridges would have resulted in manufacturing costs increasing by "at least" €15 per game copy, which is why it chose the Game-Key Card option. Inin Games pledged to look for a way to release the full game on a Switch cartridge, leading to today's news about the costs increasing, but not as much as it anticipated.
