Now live on the PlayStation Store, the PlayStation Spring Sale is now in full swing with deals on “a vast range of games that include iconic blockbusters, acclaimed classics, and more.” We are talking about up to 75% off here from now through April 22 and when Sony says vast, it means it.

Nintendo is continuing to update its popular Switch 2 GameCube library and now that we have moved into 2026 it’s time to take an updated look at the lineup. 

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.

It is now offering an additional 20% off a giant selection of console games including some Switch and Switch 2 releases.

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

Deals on the latest Zelda spin-off, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment on Nintendo Switch 2, have been largely hard to come by. It is still sitting up at full price on Amazon where it has never dropped below $69, but Best Buy Plus and Total members can now knock $20 off the $70 list price and score it for $49.99 shipped. You will likely need to be logged into your account to see the deal, but if you click the “Get it for less” link just below the price on the listing page you’ll see the bonus $20 discount here.

Just after some details on the next-generation Xbox console surfaced at GDC, Microsoft has now announced the next installment of its Xbox Partner Preview. 

Nintendo just released Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness for the Switch 2 GameCube library. We have known it was coming ever since Nintendo first launched the GameCube Nintendo Classics library alongside the Switch 2, and it confirmed it was releasing very soon during the 2026 Pokémon Day festivities, but it has finally arrived. 

Nintendo just recently issued firmware update for Nintendo Switch 2 and, among a series of mostly unexciting, albeit welcomed, updates, there is one particularly notable enhancement here with the new “Handheld Mode Boost.” 

While it was never the true modern PlayStation portable everyone wanted, Sony says it has steady growth on PlayStation Portal engagement and it is now ready to unleash some enhancements to the platform. 

Many of the rumors surrounding the next-generation Xbox are, at least seemingly, coming true. Microsoft and the newly appointed head of Xbox have already confirmed Project Helix is well into development and that it will indeed be able to play both Xbox and PC games. What that means exactly is still unclear, but we do have new details directly from Xbox on everything from a hint at the release window, the machine’s dual-functionality, and even some actual specs here today. 

Mario Day 2026 is fast approaching with new reveals, deals, and game announcements already warping in. Nintendo has just announced a collection of new Mario titles landing in the Nintendo Classics library, retailers are already primed with upcoming events, and we already have a hint at this year’s Mario Day Switch 2 console bundle. But there’s plenty more to come as we set to celebrate the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond on Mario Day 2026. 

Mario Day is still in full swing, but at this point in the afternoon just about all of the excitement we are going to be getting is out in the wild now. From a plethora of Switch and Switch 2 game deals and price drops on express microSD cards for your Switch 2, to the all-new LEGO Mario Kart reveal and the release date announcement for the new Yoshi game, all of the most noteworthy and exciting Mario Day 2026 festivities await below.

While it might not exactly be a new Mario game, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book was reaveled as part of the initial Mario 40th anniversary and we are getting a new gameplay overview trailer today alongside the official release date. 

Happy Mario Day folks! The Switch game deals are flying, LEGO just unveiled the all-new Luigi & Mach 8 set, and everything else is waiting for you right here. Nintendo also officially released some new Nintendo Classics Mario games this morning and has now unveiled the new overview trailer for Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park. 

Mario Day has officially arrived and, as part of this year’s festivities, Nintendo has now officially released three new classics for Switch Online. Previously announced to kick off the 2026 Mar10 Day, the new Nintendo Classics are now playable.

What is the next-gen Xbox going to be called? Will there even be a next-gen Xbox? Well, it looks like newly appointed Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma has now not only confirmed there will indeed be a next-generation Xbox console (I think we all assumed there would be), but also some additional details as well. 

We got an early look at the official Nintendo MAR10 Day Switch game deals already this morning, but Nintendo has now issued an official press release detailing its complete Mario Day 2026 plans. This year is in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. game and the upcoming release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on April 1, but there’s a whole lot more than that. Check it all out below. 

After much speculation and some early announcements, it appears the official MAR10 Day deals have now landed online. While the announcement is yet to hit the Nintendo news page at this point, key art of the deals has now surfaced online we have the goods for you below. 

We recently got hints at what’s to come for Mario Day 2026 here in the U.S. from an official Nintendo Australia post about the upcoming Switch 2 console bundle, and Best Buy Canada might have just given us a closer look at the upcoming deals. 

Mario Day 2026 is right around the corner and while we are expecting an details from Nintendo at any moment, the official international announcement of this year’s Mario Day Switch 2 bundle might give us a good idea of what to expect.

Mario Day 2026 is quickly approaching and while we are still awaiting official plans from Nintendo on this year’s celebration, we do have an idea of what to expect and we now have some details on what GameStop is cooking up.
