Just after inking the date and time for its giant annual summer Games Showcase, Xbox Wire has just confirmed we will be getting our first good look at the new Metro 2039 this week. 

Best Buy has now launched a massive Ultimate Upgrade Sale featuring loads of deals on top tier tech products from Apple and Google, to smart TVs, smart home, gaming gear, and more. While much of the best Apple deals are matched or even lower over at Amazon, there are hundreds of price drops to check out here. 

The limited time Switch 2 Mario Galaxy bundle is now live. As part of the theatrical release of the new Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Nintendo has delivered a few fun new releases and promotions. And special limited time Nintendo Switch 2 console bundle packaged with Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 – it is now available for purchase on Amazon. 

In case you somehow missed it, there has been a massive leak over at Nintendo. Somebody is stealing all of the Mushroom Kingdom’s biggest secrets and leaking them all over the internet. As exciting as some of this leaked information is, I almost hope it’s all fake and Nintendo completely surprises everyone over the next few months. 

The 2026 Nintendo leaks just keep coming. While not nearly as high-profile as the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake or even the rumored upcoming Star Fox game, it looks like Switch 2 will be getting some Marvel superhero action soon too. 

While its official spring sale has ended, the deals are still flying over at Target this week and we now have an early look at the offers set to go live this weekend. Including everything from spring cleaning gear through to apparel and tech, Target is advertising Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 back at holiday pricing as well. 

Reports confirm a new ‘Metal Gear Solid’ movie in the works. After the high-profile and generally well-received Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake (MGS Delta) released last summer, Snake appears to be heading to silver screen.  

Right on the heels of yesterday’s seven new LEGO Jurassic World unveilings for pre-order, the LEGO Group is coming back with another wave of reveals today for one of its newest themes (and one of my all-time favorite stories): One Piece! That’s right, the Gum-Gum Fruit set that was revealed in March won’t be the only one to get excited about over summer, as it’s being joined by six new builds based on the second season that recently came out – and you can pre-order all of them right now. But the buzz isn’t ending there, as we also have a LEGO One Piece animated special announcement video for you to watch, too. Head below to learn all the info and browse through the collected photos.

Nomad has long been one of our favorites in the leather Apple gear accessory game. It makes some of the nicest iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands (among other things) in the business and it has just announced its new Camino leather lineup. 

As part of the new My Mario toy and collectible lineup, Nintendo unleashed a FREE Hello, Mario! App on iOS, Android, and the eShop earlier this year, and now the new Hello, Yoshi! edition is live. 

While we are still waiting to see what Nintendo has next for the Switch 2 Game Cube library, the April 2026 NES Nintendo Classics updates and the companion trailer have arrived. And these ones didn’t leak ahead of time, like everything else Nintendo has on is release schedule this year.

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. 

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. 

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. 

After LEGO began giving us sneak peaks and teasers of several upcoming Jurassic World sets mid-March, the brick-built company is officially unveiling its full lineup of seven new sets – and they’re all now available for pre-order starting today! It’s going to be an exciting summer for fans of the theme, as there is a really nice mix of sets here that are sure to bring up plenty of nostalgia for older fans of the original movie, as well as younger fans. Head below to learn more, browse all the collected photos, and get your pre-orders in ahead of their releases.

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. 

Accompanied by a new trailer to mark the occasion, the steadfast devs over at CD Projekt are still hard at work on Cyberpunk 2077 and have just today unleashed a FREE upgrade for PlayStation 5 Pro users. 

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 9TO5TOYS discount code at checkout to secure a deal on your pre-order. 

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). 

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.

With Apple celebrating its 50th anniversary this week, 8BitDo has unveiled a special version of its Retro mechanical keyboard to mark the occasion. Called the AP50th Limited Edition, this model is built to celebrate 50 years of Apple and it’s inspired by the Apple II with classic beige and brown tones. It features a compact 68-key layout with a full aluminum build, including an aluminum shell, keycaps, and buttons. The limited-edition keyboard is now up for grabs directly from the brand’s online store for a rather hefty $499.99 shipped price, and you can get a closer look at it below along with more details.

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).

The LEGO Group is not joking around right out of the April gates, as we’ve already had the newest wave of 15 LEGO sets followed up by the reveal of three new Toy Story builds, and now things are taking a turn towards the World Cup, which officially starts in a few weeks. Not only is the LEGO Group adding some soccer legends to its LEGO Editions theme as minifigures, but we’re also getting some buildable figures, and a massive and gorgeous 1,427-piece wall art, too – all available to pre-order ahead of their releases! Head below to learn more and check out all the photos we’ve collected together.

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. 

Alongside our recent roundup of 15 new LEGO sets that hit the market this morning, we’re now getting an exciting reveal of three new LEGO sets for the Disney and Pixar theme – all of them giving us some long-overdue Toy Story sets. Fans won’t have to wait very long to get their hands on these new sets, with all three also able to secure right now with pre-orders. Head below to learn more about them and browse through all the collected photos.

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.

It’s that time of the months again folks, when all the builders are buzzing with the anticipation of a new wave of LEGO sets hitting the market in April 2026! Unlike last month’s 43-set release, we’re only seeing 15 new builds jumping onto shelves in April 2026, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to be excited about. We’ve got curated a list of all these new releases below, so head down and start planning ahead of the clock officially ticking us over into April.

The better part of 20 years after its initial release, Speed Racer (2008) is getting a 4K Blu-Ray remaster and coming back to theaters for a limited time. Here’s where you can view it and where you can pre-order the physical release.

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 well into Day 3 of the Amazon Big Spring Sale and coming to the close of the first week of discounts. While offers will carry through the weekend and into next week in some cases, not everything will as we are already starting to see some discounts disappear. So in the name of ensuring folks get a chance at the best of them, we have collected our top 10 favorite deals down below alongside a host of honorable mentions thereafter.

It’s not over yet folks. Not that anyone really thought it was, but prices on PlayStation hardware are going up…again. Sony has now officially announced price hikes on PS5, PS5 Pro, and PlayStation Portal remote player. 

Target has now unleashed a new 50-page spring sale ad to give us a look at the deals set to go live this weekend. Still in the midst of its Circle Deal Days spring sale event through today (March 27), the retailer’s larger spring event will continue into week 2 starting this Sunday and you can get a look at the deals set to go live down below.

Nomad makes some of, if not, the best Find My Tracking Cards on the market if you ask, and it just unleashed its first Google Find My Hub model, as first spotted by the squad over at 9to5Google. Now available for purchase, you can also land a nice launch deal – Buy 2 save 10%. 

Earlier this week Xbox announced its next Partner Showcase, and today is the day. Set to go live at 1 p.m. ET, Xbox is ready to put some of its prime time partner developers in the limelight to give us in-depth looks at upcoming releases, but it also has some surprises in store by the sounds of it.
