Ahead of the Switch 2's launch next week, Nintendo has rolled out a new system update for the original Switch. This one is much smaller than the 20.0.0 update released last month, but it makes some notable visual and audio changes to bring the interface in line with the system's upcoming successor.
As detailed in Nintendo's patch notes, the new 20.1.0 update tweaks the look of the home screen's Parental Control settings button, changing the color from orange to red. On top of that, the sound that plays when launching the Nintendo Switch Online menu has also been changed, now matching the same sound that plays on the Switch 2.
Rounding out the update, Nintendo has also made its usual assortment of "system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience." You can read the full patch notes for the 20.1.0 update below.

Bayonetta: Bloody Fate on Blu-ray
See at AmazonWe don't know when--or if--Bayonetta will return in a new video game, but at the very least, you can catch one of her adventures on your TV right now thanks to this new Amazon deal. The anime film adaptation of the iconic witch, Bayonetta: Bloody Fate, just got a big discount for a limited time, as you can grab this Blu-ray for just $13 (was $20). This is a limited-time deal, so you won't want to dawdle on grabbing a great discount here.
Bayonetta: Bloody Fate on Blu-ray $13 (was $20)First released in 2013, Bayonetta: Bloody Fate featured stunning animation by one of the best studios in the business, Gonzo. The anime powerhouse brought the video game to life in this film, packing it full of over-the-top action scenes and smooth animation. If you've watched any of Gonzo's previous films--like Afro Samurai: Resurrection or the 2001 Hellsing series--you'll have a good idea of what to expect here.
For the bonus materials, this Blu-ray offers the original trailers, a closer look at the storyboards, and commentary from several of the actors. A loose adaptation of the games and set within its own continuity, Bloody Fate sees Bayonetta travel to the European town of Vigrid to stop the last Lumen Sage, Balder, from destroying the world.

All four Bayonetta games, including the spin-off puzzle-focused prequel, are available on Nintendo Switch. We've rounded up a list of Bayonetta Switch game deals below. Unfortunately, the second game in the series tends to sell for around $60 in physical format. If you want physical editions of all four, you can sometimes save some cash by opting for a region-free imported edition of Bayonetta 2.

Serenity: 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray)
$35 at Amazon / $30 at Walmart | Releases July 22
Preorder at Amazon Preorder at WalmartThough it failed to find a large audience while on TV for its lone season, the sci-fi series Firefly became a cult hit after it was canceled. The show's 14 episodes aired in 2002, but the story didn't completely end there. In 2005, much of the cast returned for Serenity, a sequel movie that answered some of the show's lingering questions. Firefly fans can celebrate Serenity's 20th anniversary with an upcoming limited-edition 4K release. Serenity: 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Steelbook is slated to launch July 22, and preorders are available now at Amazon and Walmart.
Firefly: The Complete Series on Blu-ray
See at Amazon See at WalmartSince Serenity is a direct sequel to Firefly, you may want to rewatch the TV show before revisiting the film. You can get Firefly: The Complete Series on Blu-ray for $27.55 at Amazon or $30 at Walmart. It's also available on DVD, but it actually costs more than the Blu-ray ($33).
Serenity: 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray) $35 at Amazon / $30 at Walmart | Releases July 22The 20th Anniversary Edition of Serenity includes 4K Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, and digital copies of the film. It also comes with a gorgeous steelbook, featuring a striking blue and purple design on its exterior and a bunch of its characters (including Nathan Fillion’s Malcolm Reynolds) on the inside. There’s a slew of bonus features too, giving you a chance to check out behind-the-scenes content, outtakes, and deleted scenes.
When you preorder at Amazon or Walmart, you won’t be charged until the item ships, and you’ll be eligible for any discounts between now and July 22. Amazon currently has the film listed at $35, while Walmart has it for $30.
We'd expect the prices to match soon, but Amazon will be cheaper for Prime members since you'll get free shipping. At Walmart, you'd need to get your order total to at least $35 to avoid a $7 shipping fee (unless you're a Walmart+ subscriber).
Serenity first released on 4K Blu-ray with standard packaging in 2017. You can pick up the standard 4K Blu-ray for $14.68 at Amazon. The 1080p Blu-ray edition is only $12.

Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Lego StoreLego Harry Potter: Hogwarts Express Book Nook (832 Pieces)
Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Lego StoreLego Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook (1,359 Pieces)
Preorder at Lego Store Preorder at Barnes and NobleIf your bookshelves are lined with Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, or Sherlock Holmes books, Lego's upcoming Book Nook building sets should be on your radar. Perhaps the most notable of the bunch is the Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook, as it will become one of only four Lord of the Rings Lego sets in print today and costs less than half the price of the next-cheapest LOTR Lego set. The new Lord of the Rings display model releases June 1 alongside the Hogwarts Express and Sherlock Holmes Book Nook building sets. All three Book Nooks are available to preorder now at multiple retailers.
Lego Lord of the Rings - Balrog Book Nook (1,201 Pieces) $130 | Releases June 1Lego couldn't have picked a better reference to use in the Lord of the Rings: Book Nook. The 1,201-piece set features a buildable Balrog figure with a placard that reads: "You shall not pass." This pays homage to the conversation between Gandalf, who is represented as a Lego minifigure, and a Balrog in the movie adaptation of The Fellowship of the Ring. In the J.R.R. Tolkien novel, the exchange is worded "cannot pass" instead of "shall not pass."
Lego's new Book Nook display models can be displayed in multiple different ways. After building the frame that houses Balrog and Gandalf, you can close it like a book, as shown above, and wedge it between two Lord of the Rings books on your bookshelf. Every time you look at it, the Balrog will remind you that you should probably read The Hobbit before The Lord of the Rings.
For big readers who own numerous copies of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, this Lego set looks like a cool way to spice up a shelf filled with collectible editions of Tolkien's fantasy stories.
That said, it's also the cheapest Lord of the Rings Lego set in print right now--by a considerable margin. The only other Lord of the Rings Lego sets currently being produced are the 5,471-piece Barad-dur tower for $460, the sprawling 6,167-piece Rivendell replica for $500, and the recently released recreation of The Shire for $270.
For that reason, the Balrog Book Nook could be of interest to fans who read all of their books on Kindle. You can display the Balrog and Gandalf minifigure with the frame unfolded. The base has flames extending upward on both sides of the Balrog. When opened, the Book Nook is 17.5 inches wide, 8.5 inches tall, and 6.5 inches deep. Alternatively, you can remove the Balrog and Gandalf minifigure from the base altogether.

Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Lego Store Lego Harry Potter: Hogwarts Express Book Nook (832 Pieces) $100 | Releases June 1Harry Potter's upcoming Book Nook is an 832-piece recreation of Platform 9 and 3/4 at King's Cross Station. The scene depicts Harry and Ron pushing their trunks through the hidden entryway to board the Hogwarts Express. The set includes a buildable Hogwarts Express and minifigures of Harry and Ron, who are accompanied by their pets, Hedwig and Scabbers. The build has strategically placed mirrors designed to make the train look larger.
The Hogwarts Express Book Nook functions a bit differently than the Lord of the Rings model, as books can be placed between each side when it's fully unfolded. When closed like a book, you can move the Harry and Ron minifigures to their cabin with Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans accessories. The closed display model can then be placed on your shelf between your Harry Potter books.
The Hogwarts Express Book Nook is $30 cheaper than the other two, but the piece count is lower and its slightly smaller overall at 6.5 x 15 x 2.5 inches.
You can preorder the Harry Potter Book Nook for $100 at Amazon.
Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Lego Store Lego Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook (1,359 Pieces) $130 | Releases June 1The 1,359-piece Lego Sherlock Holmes Book Nook lets fans of the iconic detective build a a 8 x 14.5-inch model of Baker Street, including Sherlock's 221B apartment. The set comes with five minifigures:
- Sherlock Holmes
- Professor Moriarty
- Dr. Watson
- Irene Adler
- Paige (new to Sherlock Holmes)
One cool aspect about this build is that the front exterior wall includes a large recreation of the Sherlock Holmes silhouette logo, so you have another way to display this one beyond the open and closed poses.
Along with building the exterior walls of multiple buildings, including the Elementary Bookshop and the apartment complex, you'll piece together the inside of Sherlock's home. Fittingly, the model has several interactive secrets, including a fake wall in Sherlock's apartment and Moriarty's hideout, which are revealed when turning a dial. Other interactive components include a revolving book display window and a sliding terrace door.
The Sherlock Holmes Book Nook is exclusive to the Lego Store and Barnes & Noble.
