8BitDo Retro R8 Wireless Mouse with Charging Dock

$50 | Available Now

See at Amazon

8BitDo's NES-inspired wireless mouse is now available for $50 at Amazon. The N Edition of the Retro R8 was revealed in April, but it was only briefly available to preorder before 8BitDo temporarily paused shipments to the US due to tariffs. But now budget-friendly mouse is readily available with Prime shipping arriving as soon as tomorrow, depending on your location.

8BitDo's newest mouse matches its N Edition Retro Mechanical Keyboard, which is available in tenkeyless and full-size models with a numpad.

The N Edition is the second 8BitDo Retro R8 release; the mouse debuted earlier this year with an officially licensed, transparent green edition inspired by the popular special-edition original Xbox console/controller.

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

$13 (was $20)

See at Amazon

We 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 Walmart

Though 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

$27.55 (was $30)

See at Amazon See at Walmart

Since 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 22

The 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 Lego Store Preorder at Barnes and Noble

If 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 1

Lego 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.

If you need more Lord of the Rings books to keep the Balrog Book Nook company, check out our newly published roundup of new and upcoming Tolkien book box sets and budget-friendly collector's editions.

Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Lego Store Lego Harry Potter: Hogwarts Express Book Nook (832 Pieces) $100 | Releases June 1

Harry 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 1

The 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.

With marquee franchises ranging from grand adventures like The Legend of Zelda to niche series like Metroid, few video game publishers have a stable of properties as extensive and varied as Nintendo. But though many of these franchises are regularly supported with new installments, many more have been left languishing in dormancy--and among them, few are as frequently clamored for as F-Zero. Despite the ongoing wait for a new title, however, the futuristic racing series has actually been experiencing something of a quiet resurgence over the past few years.

This revival began in earnest in 2023 with the surprise release of F-Zero 99, a battle royale-style twist on the original F-Zero offered as part of the Nintendo Switch Online service. Like Tetris 99 (and the short-lived Pac-Man 99) before it, F-Zero 99 invigorates the series' classic formula by exploding the player count, with 99 competitors all vying for first place. But whereas Tetris 99 is a battle of attrition, a grueling contest to whittle down and outlast the competition, F-Zero 99 is still very much a racing game at heart; unlike other battle royale-type games, your objective is not to eliminate other players (although it is greatly encouraged, as doing so replenishes your health meter), but to outmaneuver them over the course of four laps. The increased player count makes these high-speed contests even more nerve-wracking, and the difference between success and failure is often measured in milliseconds.

The result is exhilarating. Though it may not be an entirely new entry, F-Zero 99 is a refreshing spin on the series, one that offers a tantalizing glimpse at a potential path forward for future installments. The expanded player count amplifies the high-stakes thrills of F-Zero's best moments--of negotiating winding, hazard-laden tracks and hairpin turns at lightning speed as other vehicles ricochet and explode all around you. More importantly, the game stands as proof that, contrary to what disgruntled fans may claim, Nintendo has neither forgotten about nor abandoned F-Zero.

In addition to Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Hideo Kojima has his next few years of game development laid out for him between his horror title OD and Physint, an upcoming action-espionage game that will revisit the genre of his most famous creation, Metal Gear Solid. Now, Kojima has disclosed that the genesis of his return to the MGS-style genre came during a personal health crisis.

"Of course, I have lots of new ideas that I want to create, but when I became sick during the pandemic, I realized that a lot of people wanted me to make something like Metal Gear," Kojima told Edge Magazine via GamesRadar. "That's when I had the idea for a new espionage game. I reflected, and thought the idea was good."

Like the Death Stranding games, Physint will be published by Sony, while OD will be published by Microsoft. Earlier this year, Kojima noted that both games have been impacted by the ongoing voice actors strike. But even without that delay, Kojima noted that Physint is still "five to six years away" from release, which may push it outside of the current console generation.

Switch 2 units are seemingly beginning to appear in the wild ahead of the console's official launch next week. Multiple images and videos (some of which were pulled as this article was written) circulating online show what appear to be Switch 2 systems in stores and even potentially already at home with some users.

But the systems may nothing more than paperweights for now, as the Switch 2 is said to be unable to be used without a day-one mandatory online update. That might mean that anything more than further impressions of what it's like to hold the unit will have to wait until launch day. You can read our initial hands-on impressions with Switch 2 for some sense of what to expect.

We can't say for sure if any of the leaks thus far are legitimate. It's a certainty that Nintendo is shipping units to stores ahead of the June 5 launch, so it's possible that some legitimate footage is emerging and that people may have already gotten their hands on a unit.

The second season of The Last of Us has just wrapped up on HBO Max, but if you know you're going to want to watch it again, multiple physical editions are up for preorder right now, including a 4K Blu-ray with a limited-edition steelbook case. The Last of Us Season 2 releases on Blu-ray, 4K Blu-ray, and DVD on September 23. Retailers are still in the process of creating store pages, but you can preorder The Last of Us Season 2's Limited Edition Steelbook for $47 at Walmart or $40 at Gruv.

Amazon has yet to open preorders, but the retailer does have store pages for all four physical editions, so it should be available to purchase soon.

The Last of Us Season 2 Limited Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray) $47 at Walmart / $40 at Gruv | Releases September 23

The Last of Us Season 2's Limited Edition Steelbook features promotional photography of Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) with Cordyceps fungus forming a moth--like Ellie's tattoo--in the background. The interior artwork shows Ellie surrounded by a horde of people who have succumbed to the Cordyceps fungus.

Season 1 of The Last of Us didn't receive a Steelbook Edition until March of this year, so it's cool to see Season 2 will have one on launch day. The Last of Us Season 1's Steelbook Edition has been going in and out of stock since its reveal, but Amazon currently has it available for $50.

Season 2's bonus features haven't been revealed yet, but we're hoping to see something similar to the Season 1 release, which includes featurettes on each episode as well as a disc filled with short documentaries and interviews.

We do know that the 4K Blu-ray edition displays in native 4K (2160p) resolution and supports Dolby Vision and HDR10. The infected's growls and the unsettling calling card of Clickers should sound pretty unnerving with Dolby Atmos audio and 7.1 lossless surround sound.

The Last of Us Season 2 continued HBO's largely faithful adaptation of the Naughty Dog video game franchise. While Season 1 had nine episodes, Season 2 only had seven. The new season adapted a portion of The Last of Us Part II, though it was largely told from Ellie's perspective. Season 3 is expected to flip the script and follow Abby, the other playable character from the second game.

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Classic will launch July 21, Blizzard has announced, and there will be a new way to get brought up to speed for those who haven't played some of the game's previous Classic expansions.

Blizzard has long sold WoW character boosts, and in WoW Classic, started selling them ahead of the arrival of The Burning Crusade Classic. The boosts give players who didn't play the previous expansion a chance (for a price) to jump straight into the new content. This time, however, Blizzard is giving players a way to earn a boost for free, but it will require some legwork.

One free level 85 character boost will be given to players who defeat the Dreadlord Balnazzar, the first boss of the new Scarlet Enclave raid added in April to WoW Classic's more experimental Season of Discovery servers, before June 30. Those who have already defeated Balnazzar prior to the announcement of the promotion will be retroactively awarded a boost.

PlayStation’s annual Days of Play sale returns this week with steep discounts on video games, consoles, and accessories from May 28 until June 11. If you’re still in the market for a console, the PS5 Call of Duty: Black Ops Bundle might be the most enticing Days of Play 2025 offer. Pulling together Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and either a PS5 Slim Digital or PS5 Slim Disc console, the bundles are available for $120 below MSRP. The PS5 Slim Call of Duty Bundle goes for $450, while the PS5 Slim Digital Call of Duty Bundle is $400.

PS5 Slim Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Bundle $450 | Valued at $570

This bundle comes with the PS5 Slim with a Disc Drive and a voucher to redeem a digital copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 from the PlayStation Store. You'll also get one white DualSense Controller and three cables: USB-C charging cable, HDMI, and the power cord. If you want to display the PS5 vertically, as shown above, you'll need to buy the Vertical Stand for $30.

Considering the PS5 Slim normally goes for $500 on its own, the $450 bundle is worth checking out even if you have no interest in Call of Duty.

Earlier this year, PlayStation released a PS5 Slim bundle with Astro Bot for the same price. It's sold out at most retailers, but you can still get it for $450 at PS Direct.

See at Walmart See at PS Direct See at Best Buy PS5 Slim Digital Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Bundle $400 | Valued at $520

The PS5 Slim Digital version of this bundle saves you an additional $50, but you'll miss out on the optical drive, meaning you will only be able to play games downloaded from the PlayStation Store.

If you opt for the Slim Digital and decide later on you want to play physical games, you can purchase the Disc Drive separately for $80. Once again, the Vertical Stand is sold separately.

Beyond these enticing Black Ops bundles, the Days of Play event offers tons of other great deals. PS5 Pro consoles are $50 off, dropping the price of PlayStation's high-end console to $650. This is the first discount on the PS5 Pro since its launch last holiday. You can pair your new console with discounted controllers, as DualSense Edge Controllers are $30 off, and standard DualSense Controllers are $20 off. And if you’re interested in diving into virtual reality, the PlayStation VR 2 headset is dropping its price by $50.

After a successful first season with five million players hitting the gridiron in the first week alone, EA Sports College Football 26 will try to build on that momentum as new details are set to emerge later this week. Today, EA Sports announced the cover athletes for this year's game, as well as a Deluxe Edition that features legends from college football's long history.

The Standard Edition of EA Sports College Football 26 will feature Alabama' Ryan Williams and Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith, two of the top-ranked wide receivers in the country. Both players, like CFB 26, are looking to build off of successful freshman seasons, with Williams totaling 865 yards and eight touchdowns, while Smith logged 1,315 yards and 13 touchdowns for the national champion Buckeyes.

The Standard Edition (left) and Deluxe Edition covers of EA Sports College Football 26.

Both players also feature on the cover of the Deluxe Edition, but they're joined by multiple legends, mascots, and other current players. Among those featured on the Deluxe Edition cover is quarterback and Florida alum Tim Tebow, running back and former USC standout Reggie Bush, and two current top running backs in Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love and Penn State's Nick Singleton.

It's a big day for Ubisoft's The Division 2, as the game has joined the Xbox Game Pass library alongside the debut of its new expansion, Battle for Brooklyn.

The Division 2 is available via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Standard. People who subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate get a perk in the form of the free EMS outfit, which itself includes five EMS-themed items.

The Division 2 comes to Game Pass just as the game's seventh year of live service begins with the Year 7 Crossroads update. This season is all about nostalgia, with new modifiers and gear that are callbacks to the original The Division, Ubisoft said. Year 7 also includes a range of quality-of-life improvements, including better onboarding for new players.

Assassin's Creed Shadows update 1.0.5 is now live and, as detailed in the patch notes, brings major improvements to the game's parkour as well as not one, but two, unexpected crossovers.

The first crossover is with the asymmetrical multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight. A free Dead by Daylight-inspired quest has been added to Assassin's Creed Shadows that will see Naoe investigate a strange presence attacking the people of Harima. The patch notes state that players will need to "master unique mechanics and confront a formidable otherworldly threat" to complete the event, after which they will be rewarded with a free trinket and banner. Dead by Daylight cosmetics will also be available in the game's store.

As for the second crossover, it's with indie sensation Balatro. A Balatro-inspired trinket for Naoe and an amulet for Yasuke, both called "Winning Hand," have been added via the update. The items sport a legendary perk that has a chance to trigger a random affliction effect on combo enders. Ubisoft, however, isn't simply giving aways the new item. The patch notes state players will need to "work together to figure out how to get it" but doesn't offer any other clues, so let the hunt begin.

Earlier this month, NetherRealm Studios released Mortal Kombat 1: Definitive Edition, a digital-only package that includes the base game, the Khaos Reigns DLC expansion, and two rounds of fighter packs. Players took it as a sign that MK1 wouldn't be getting any more updates, and bombarded NetherRealm for continued DLC support. Now, NetherRealm has confirmed that Mortal Kombat 1's reign is coming to a close.

"We are hearing players' requests for continued game support of Mortal Kombat 1," noted the game's official account on X. "And, while we will continue to support Mortal Kombat 1 through balance adjustments and fixes, there will not be additional DLC characters or story chapters released from this point on."

In a later message, NetherRealm acknowledged that fans may be disappointed by the news, before adding that the devs need "to shift focus to the next project in order to make it as great as we possibly can."

Level-5 has revealed that Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time will be a Nintendo Switch 2 launch title, and that players who already own the game on Switch 1 will be able to upgrade for just $2.59.

Compared to the Nintendo Switch version, Level-5 states that Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition will feature reduced load times, improved visuals, and a higher frame rate. Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is set to retail for $62.58, reflecting the fact that a Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack from the Switch version will cost $2.59.

This is significantly cheaper than the paid upgrades for other Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games, as the upgrades for one like Kirby and the Forgotten Land will cost up to $20. The caveats to all of this is that the Digital Deluxe Edition will only be available for Switch, not Switch 2, and that several Switch 1 games are getting free upgrades for Nintendo's new console.
