Today’s spotlight deal is the big Nintendo Switch video game sale that’s going on simultaneously at both Amazon and Nintendo eShop. Score big discounts on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Stardew Valley, Celeste, Splatoon 2, and much more. The Oculus Quest is also back in stock on Amazon (although not for long) and there are some outstanding deals on Dell and Alienware laptops, as good as or better than what we saw on Black Friday.

30% Off AAA Nintendo Switch Video Games

mk8deluxeStarting today Amazon has dropped the price on digital editions of some of the most popular Nintendo Switch titles, including Mario Kart 8, which wasn’t discounted on Black Friday.

Back in Stock: Dark Samus and Richter Amiibo up for Preorder on Amazon (Out Next Friday)

amiibodarksamusThese two amiibo have been sold out on Amazon, but they are back and just in time. Both amiibo will be released next Friday. Dark Samus in particular looks fantastic.

Huge Nintendo Switch Digital Video Game Sale Going on Right Now at the Nintendo eShop

stardewvalleyThere are over 900 Nintendo Switch titles discounted at the eShop today. Some of these are big AAA titles but the real treasure are the smaller indie titles that weren’t even discounted on Black Friday like Stardew Valley, SteamWorld Quest, and Unravel Two. There are so many games to choose from so there’s probably something for everyone.

Make Sure You Have A Memory Card That Can Fit All Your Switch Digital Purchases

sandiskultra400gbWill all the digital games you’re going to download, it’s important that you have expanded your storage. The Nintendo Switch comes preinstalled with only 32GB of storage. To put that in perspective, Breath of the Wild alone will take up 40% of your storage capacity. I’d recommend you get  at least a 128GB card if you want to store as many smaller digital titles as you want (like Celeste, Overcooked 2, or Stardew Valley), and the larger 400GB card if you plan to download bigger titles (like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, or Yoshi’s Crafted World).

Free Vader Immortal with Oculus Quest VR Headset (Back in Stock on Amazon)

oculusquestvaderThe Oculus Quest has been one of the hottest selling gaming peripherals over the holidays and it’s sold out practically everywhere. Although you can get it from Oculus directly, it ships out at in March. Amazon currently has it with an earlier ship date.

For a limited time, purchase an Oculus Quest and you’ll get all three episodes of the Vader Immortal VR game for free. There are many reasons why the Quest is the best VR headset to get right now. It’s completely untethered with no external sensors to set up, it’s powerful enough to play games like Vader Immortal, Beat Saber, and Pistol Whip, and it’s far less expensive than all the other newer generation VR headsets that have been released. An Oculus Link beta software is also out in the wild, which allows you to connect the Quest to a PC using a Type C cable and use it like a regular VR headset powered by your gaming PC.

Google Pixel 4 for $571

googlepixel4This price is lower than it was on Black Friday. The Pixel 4 is Google’s latest flagship phone and features a 5.7″ QHD+ OLED display, Snapdragon 855 octacore processor, 6GB of RAM, IP68 waterproof resistance, and the latest Android OS. The Pixel 4 has arguably the best camera in a phone, and at worst rivals the best that the Apple iPhone has to offer in terms of image quality. The Pixel 4 also has a new feature called “Motion Sense”. Basically, with its built-in radar, it’s able to see whether or not you’re near your phone. For example, you could pick up your phone and the unlocking process will happen even before you stare it at, meaning you may never see an unlock screen ever.

Monster Clarity 101 AirLinks Truly Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds for $39.99

monsterclarity101If you’ve wanted the completely wire-free earphones but didn’t want to pay $100 or more on AirPods, Galaxy Buds, or PowerBeats Pro, then this is a much, much less expensive alternative. Monster is the same brand that made those uber expensive cables in the past, so they are no stranger to the audiophile market. These earbuds normally go for $100, but there’s a $20 instant discount and a $40 coupon code that brings it down significantly. User reviews on Amazon are great.

Good Smile Kratos God of War Nendoroid for $19.99

nendoroidkratosNendoroid figures generally run $50 or more, but this Kratos figure is over 60% off. Like all Nendoroids, Kratos has articulating arms and legs for various poses. Accessories include two facial expressions as well as his signature battle axe and shield.

This particular model also sports the finest display that Dell currently offers. The OLED IPS panel boasts a 4K Ultra HD resolution, super wide viewing angles, and 100% DCI-P3 color reproduction (even better than sRGB).
