Apple’s new AirPods Pro 3 are now up for pre-order – scope out our hands-on review right here – and Nomad has now revealed its new leather case for the next-generation buds. I truly despise the look of a scratched up AirPods case – you certainly don’t want to have to deal with that if you ever want to trade them in for something new – and if I’m going to cover up the Apple design, I’m going to want to do it in style. Nomad makes some of the best leather accessories out there and the new Modern Leather Case for AirPods Pro 3 is now up for pre-order alongside its new iPhone 17 case lineup.

However, on top of that we are also getting a new Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 bundle release as well as two new companion amiibo figures too. 

Nintendo’s big September Direct is a wrap and it certainly did not disappoint for Mario’s big 40th anniversary. The first Super Mario Bros. game released almost exactly 40 years ago and Nintendo unsheathed this year’s celebration with a host of key announcements in the form of upgraded versions of beloved Mario classics, a new Switch 2 Edition of one of the best 2D Mario games of the modern era, the official announcement of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, a new Yoshi game, the new Mario Tennis experience, and a even a talking flower. 

Today’s Nintendo Direct is a wrap and it has now announced the release date for its big holiday Switch 2 release – Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.

Back in June Sony officially revealed a new edition of its beloved and equally as adorable Astro Bot DualSense controller. We got our first look at the new controller a few months back, but Sony has announced when you’ll actually be able to get your hands on one. 

Here we go! It’s Nintendo Direct day. Outside of the reveal and eventual release of Switch 2, today is arguably the biggest day of the year thus far for Nintendo gamers. Nintendo is set to host a massive Nintendo Direct livestream this morning, and it, by all accounts, looks like it’s going to be a big meaty one, filled with the new games and perhaps some big-time surprises. 

Nintendo Direct goes live this morning, and it’s going to be a big one folks. Nintendo has not been tight about livestream events in this the year of its new next-generation console, from three major dedicated showcases for its biggest new Switch 2 game releases, as well as an IndieWorld and a Partner Showcase that perhaps seemed worse then they were just because Silksong wasn’t in them. But Silksong has released, and we already have all the details and a release date on the new Kirby Air Riders – today’s show is going to be one of the biggest Nintendo Direct livestreams ever and the first proper showing since Switch 2 barely had a chance to touch down on store shelves before we all scooped them up.  

The first big animated Super Mario Bros. movie was beloved by just about everyone, and a major success for Nintendo. We already know it is officially in the lab on the sequel, or at least the next Mario movie, and with the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. just days away, we could be in for a major reveal. Considering tomorrow will see the biggest and longest proper Nintendo Direct basically ever, that reveal could be happening much sooner than later – right after leaks surfaced suggesting the next Mario movie is headed to the stars.

This launch lands on the same day its next-gen QuietComfort Ultra 2nd Gen buds officially go up for sale – here’s our hands-on review – and shortly after the debut of its brand new next-gen flagship QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. 

The next Nintendo Direct went official this morning. After months of rumors of an official, proper Direct showcase, it is finally on the slate. Nintendo has been cranking these things out faster and more frequent than ever since Switch 2 hit store shelves, but they have largely come in the form of dedicated showcases for specific titles and those Direct side quests: IndieWorld and Partner Showcase. This week though, we get the real deal. 

Not all leather iPhone cases are made equal and the SANDMARC lineup is the perfect example of that. Over the last couple years the brand has delivered some of the most gorgeous leather cases on the market, and I think it just upped its game again with the new iPhone 17 lineup. Featuring a series of different full-grain leather color treatments, it has an all new metal lens protector/mount that is seriously awesome looking. And you can use code 9TO5TOYS at checkout to score a sweet launch deal.
