Home Depot is launching a major Spring Black Friday sale this week. Now set to go live in a couple day’s time, the lawn, tool, and DIY retailer will launch one of its one of its biggest seasonal sale events of the year and we have an early look at loads of the upcoming deals for you below. 

Earlier this week, Home Depot announced a massive Spring Black Friday sale that is set to go live starting tomorrow, and Lowe’s has decided to get in on the action. On the heels of the Amazon Big Spring Sale, the DIY juggernauts are going toe-to-toe this week with big-time sales of their own, and we now have an early look at the deals set to go live tomorrow at Lowe’s as well. 

James Bond’s next outing on home consoles is quickly approaching if you have a PS5 or Xbox anyway – the Switch 2 version has been delayed until later this summer. We are, however, getting our first look at the new 007 First Light Limited Edition DualSense Wireless Controller. 

When is the next major Switch 2 game announcement going to be? Well, apparently very soon. Rumors and relatively reliable leakers have been divulging Nintendo’s 2026 release plans for a few weeks now, but it looks like what might very possibly be the most reliable of them all has just doubled down saying the first of these big announcements will happen this month. 

SANDMARC is back at it again today with a new release. The brand is easily among our favorite accessory makers when it comes to the sorts of gear that supports creators and iPhoneographers, not to mention its gorgeous Apple Watch bands and iPhone cases. But today it is introducing the all-new Capture Leather Wallet to neatly stow SD cards and everything else you would normally have in there. You can also use our exclusive 9TO510 discount code at checkout to secure a deal on your pre-order. 

Yesterday was your last shot to claim the March PlayStation Plus FREE games (as we reminded folks about), but that also means today is the day the latest slate of Monthly FREE games will go live. April’s collection for PS Plus Essential members is, or will be, live at any time now. Scope out the details below. 

Satechi is the maker of one of my personal favorite MagSafe charging stands – this metal 3-in-1 model right here, but today it is finally ready to jump into the next-generation with a brand new 25W unit and an upgraded design. 

Nintendo has a serious leak problem right now, as we have already discussed. It seems as though just about all of its major 2026 releases have already surfaced online, leaving very little to the imagination when it comes to the upcoming summer and holiday Switch 2 release schedule. There are couple of other titles that have been mentioned among the leaks and, while they don’t come from sources quite as reliable as some of the others, if they do end up coming to fruition we could be in for a new Wario Land game and a potential new classic Metroid remake this year. 

Nintendo has now officially announced a new Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Nintendo Switch 2 console bundle. I guess not everything it had planned to announce this year already leaked (but a whole bunch of it seems like it has). 

Welcome to 9to5Toys News Weekly – your go-to spot to catch up on the latest new product releases, features, and hands-on reviews. This week we have a look back at the massive leak problem Nintendo is dealing with at the moment – just about all of its major 2026 Switch 2 game releases and more have seemingly all surfaced online – alongside a new Olde Dublin leather release from Nomad, this Limited Edition all metal Apple II-inspired keyboard, three new LEGO three new Toy Story sets, and this epic NES-SY2.0 setup, and more. Check it all out below.

Is Walmart open on Easter Sunday? Is Target closed today? Is Costco open today? Are grocery stores open today? Easter weekend has arrived and that means we will be seeing adjusted hours and various store closures. Let’s take a look. 

Update 4/3: We have now updated this post with some additional leaked details on some potential upcoming Switch 2 releases.

As we have already reported, there have been some major Nintendo leaks surfacing across the interwebs over the last week or so, much of which coming from folks with solid track records for this sort of thing. While these sorts of early details and rumors were very much expected last year with the launch of the Switch 2, it appears as though much of the Nintendo 2026 launch plans have leaked already. 

A brand new special edition, or rather themed, Monopoly set is now up to celebrate the (record-breaking) theatrical release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Much like we have seen for years with these crossover real-estate tycoon boards, this one shakes up the usual formula with a series of themed rules, pieces, and features based on Mario’s latest adventure through the stars.

Nomad already unleashed its latest Find My-equipped MagSafe Wallet, but it has just issued a new Limited Edition model with its gorgeous Olde Dublin leather treatment. 

The Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary celebrations continue after the release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in theaters this week as a few new collectibles and goodies have surfaced at retail (or will be very soon). Both Best Buy and Target have new Super Mario Bros. 40th anniversary collectibles up for grabs, including a pair of game cases (they are sort of like a SteelBook case that holds multiple Switch and Switch 2 cartridges).

Update: PS5 hardware is scheduled to jump up in price at some point today.

Last week Sony announced sweeping and particularly significant upcoming price hikes across the current-generation PlayStation hardware – PS5 is about to get a whole lot more expensive. Starting this Thursday PS5, PS5 Digital Edition, and PS5 Pro are going to be $100 and $150 more expensive and you might want to score one now before that happens. 

While the leaks and rumors regarding upcoming Nintendo plans have slowed to some degree compared to last year’s Switch 2 launch cycle, there have been some seriously exciting tidbits floating around as of late. Not the least of which, some fairly high-profile Nintendo Insiders have already claimed we are in for a complete remake of one of the most celebrated Nintendo titles of all-time: The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. And now it looks as though there’s good reason to believe there will also be a special edition Zelda Ocarina of Time Switch 2 Console. 

The new Super Mario Galaxy Movie is hitting theaters today! I will likely be making my way to a local screening this weekend, but for collectors or those who would rather skip the lines and overpriced popcorn, pre-orders for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Limited Edition SteelBook Blu-ray + Digital are now live alongside some upcoming listings for the The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Collectible Tin edition.

The all-new Anker Nano Power Strip has arrived. The brand is unleashing the newest member of its Nano power lineup today with a unique power strip product that neatly clamps to the side/back of a desk or shelf, leaving a series of USB ports up top and some AC outlets neatly stowed away out of sight underneath. The white is now live on Amazon (the black model is also now live on Amazon but we are still awaiting the white model listing) and the black variant directly on the Anker site.

There have been some notable releases for Switch 2 thus far, but nothing overly remarkable at this point. We have had some notable first-party releases with the new Mario Tennis game and the Super Mario Bros. Wonder expansion, not to mention the surprisingly well-received Pokémon Pokopia. But Nintendo is going to need some heavy hitters to keep the hype rolling this year – will we finally get a new 3D Mario experience? Doesn’t sound like it at this point, but rumor has it a massive Zelda remake is inbound alongside a new Star Fox game and much sooner than later at that.

Love Hultén is, in many ways, a one of kind designer and instrument creator. We have featured this stuff around here many a times in the past, but the epic new NES-SY2.0 has to be one of the more interesting and nostalgia-fueled new releases from Hultén in a minute. 

Xbox has now officially announced its massive summer showcase. Every year, typically in June, Xbox hosts its massive summer games showcase and it is now set it stone alongside a dedicated Gears of War: E-Day Direct.

We are taking quick break from the now live Amazon 2026 Big Spring Sale to discuss some Switch news. In a world rife with tariffs, or at least the aftermath of them, and with the cost of gaming skyrocketing in recent years, Nintendo might have just announced that is bringing the cost of new Switch 2 games down…sort of.

Nintendo just released Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness for the Switch 2 GameCube library.
