We are ready to kick off another week with today’s lineup of the best iOS game and app deals. Highlights incude titles like The Biggleboss Incident, About Love and Hate 2, The Bunker, D&D Lords of Waterdeep, Smash Up, Mystic Vale, and more. On your way down be sure to dive into the collection of official Apple Watch bands now at new all-time lows with up to 44% in savings alongside AirPods Max (USB-C) at nearly $120 off, this Midnight 16GB M3 MacBook Air at $400 less than Apple’s M4 model, and the latest Best Buy  48-hour Flash Sale with deals on Apple Watch Ultra 2, TVs, and much more. As for the apps, everything awaits below. 

Alongside a host of ongoing Switch (and PS5/Xbox) deals below, we also spotted Cronos on Nintendo Switch 2 down at $45.99 shipped. That’s nearly 25% off the regular $60 list price on the “brutal third-person survival horror” experience. There was a very short lived on-page coupon that dropped it down to $42, but if you missed out this is nearly as good. 

And for PS5 gamers, one of today’s highlights would have to be the ultra-affordable Rainbow Six Siege – Elite Edition now sitting down at $8.95 Prime shipped. Hit the jump for more. 

Nintendo’s new Talking Flower now available via Amazon at $35 Prime shipped

Here we go! Check out the new Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer

While this weekend was all about the Super Mario Galaxy Movie Nintendo Direct and getting our first look at Yoshi, not to mention the new Talking Flower going up for pre-order via Amazon at $35, this week it’s Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. Nintendo has announced the next Direct livestream and it is set to go live in a few day’s time. 

Alongside this morning’s deal on the brand’s leather DeskPad down at $26, we also spotted an Amazon Lightning deal hitting the Twelve South TimePorter Watch Strap Organizer down at $22.50 Prime shipped. 

Twelve South Large Sustainable Leather DeskPad

Buy for $26 (Reg. $47)

What we love

I love these leather/leather-like desk pads – they look great, as well as provide an elegant home for your mouse and keyboard, but also protect your desk surface and can easily be wiped down to keeps things fresh and clean. This is the large model that can also house your MagSafe charging stand a cup of coffee, and just about anything else you might need on your work surface.

Best Buy has launched its latest 48-hour flash sale and it’s landing loaded with some solid discounts on smart TVs at up to $1,100 off and with as much as 50% in savings. One of the more notable deals we spotted marks the return of early Black Friday Doorbuster pricing on the game room-ready LG 48-inch Class B5 Series OLED AI 4K UHD Smart TV down at $549.99– one of the better values for an LG OLED out there. 

Amazon Basics UPS Battery Backup

Buy for $37 (Reg. $54)

What we love

These things can be very handy to internet rolling in power outages and the like, not to mention how pricey some of them can be. Right now Amazon has some limited lightning deals running on the 600VA/360W 8-outlet model at $45 as well as the 800VA/450W 12-outlet at $55 that are also at notable pricing for folks looking towards additional battery power. And they are selling out quick.

We wanted to touch down again this morning to highlight the ongoing deal at Woot on Samsung’s 44mm Galaxy Watch 8 – you can score the silver LTE model down at $269.99 Prime shipped to deliver one of the best offers we have ever tracked on the latest Galaxy Watch outside of limited EDU deals. 

Beats iPhone 17 MagSafe and Camera Control Case

Buy for $10 (Reg. $22+)

What we love

Amazon is almost giving these cases away at this point. If you’re looking to land a new colorway or just something to freshen up your iPhone 17 case wardrobe, the ultra-clean looking official Beats MagSafe and Camera Control cases don’t cost much more than couple lattes at this point.

While Amazon is still offering a series of Natural Apple Watch Ultra 2 units at $250 off the original list price, Best Buy has now brought back its clearance pricing on the black models. Amazon has had a hard time keeping the black Ultra 2 in stock, but Best Buy delivering Black Friday/holiday pricing for the next 48 hours. 

It has been a busy week in official Apple Watch Ultra band deals. Several of Apple’s latest models went on sale over the last 5 days or so, many of which are still live, but this morning we spotted the Apple Trail Loop in the latest Blue/Bright Blue colorway at nearly 40% off with the Natural finish and at giant 44% off with the black finish – both new Amazon all-time lows. 

Best Buy has now launched a new wide-ranging 48-hour flash sale and in it, you’ll find quite a notable price drop on Apple’s latest USB-C equipped AirPods Max. All five colors are now nearly $120 off the list price – we are awaiting an Amazon price match.  

While you will find some $200 price drops live on a very select number of M4 MacBook Air configurations this morning, we wanted to highlight this M3 deal. The listing for the 15-inch model in Midnight with 16GB of RAM is now back in stock at $400 under the list price on the comparable M4. 

Best Buy has now transitioned from its major Playoffs/Super Bowl sale into a notable 48-hour Flash Sale. Running from early morning today through Tuesday of this week, you’ll now find loads of new deals waiting for you right here, from Apple and Samsung gear though to as much as 50% off smart TVs, gaming gear, and much more. Everything is waiting for you on this landing page and we will go over some details below.

We just got our next good look at The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in this morning’s Direct – including a first look at Yoshi! – but we are also now seeing pre-orders live on Amazon for Nintendo’s new Talking Flower. 

Anker MagGo 3-in-1 MagSafe Charging Station

Buy for $50 (Reg. $110)

What we love

While you’re not getting the new 25W wireless MagSafe charging standard here, 15W is plenty enough for most folks if you ask me, and especially at a price like this. Originally $110, you can now land this thing at 55% off, delivering 3-in-1 charging action for your entire Apple kit with a provided 40W USB-C PD wall charger.

Spigen Life Magnetic Gym Bag Tumbler Holder

Buy for $35 (Reg. up to $42)

What we love

These miniature gym bag tumbler holders have seemingly become more popular over the last year or so, and Spigen’s magnetic model is down at $35 right now. It features a drawstring/cord lock and D-ring strap to accommodate some additional accessories as well as a Molle System and a pocket for your phone too.

While we are still tracking the first cash deal on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ 5G down at $253 shipped via Amazon, Walmart is landing this morning with the cash discount on the more affordable base model down at $219 shipped.

Here we go! Nintendo is set to host a Sunday edition Direct presentation this morning for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie and it’s set to go live very soon. 

Good morning and welcome to Best of gadgetnewsonline Weekly – a one-stop shop for all of the week’s best deals on Apple gear, Samsung and Android tech, accessories for smartphones and Macs, intelligent household upgrades, and even deals to update your wardrobe. The all-new Best of gadgetnewsonline collects all of the most notable deals and organizes them neatly into one handy catalog for you to peruse every Saturday morning.

This weekend we are tracking a number of notable deals on Anker charging solutions. Including everything from deep discounts on previous generation Prime gear like the originally $110 Prime Power Station with smart display now down at $60 shipped to its 5-port travel adapter that keeps you juiced up in “over 200 countries” down at $20 and its brand new Smart Display Nano Charger on sale for $30, there’s a versatile collection of options marked down right now. Scope it all out below.

Anker unleashed its Smart Display Nano Charger at CES 2026 this year, and just after getting a chance to serve up some of my personal thoughts, it has now appeared on the brand’s official Amazon storefront with the same launch deal we were tracking previously. You can now land this mini charger with the animated display down at $29.99 Prime shipped. 

This weekend we are tracking a number of the latest official Apple Watch Ultra bands on sale as well as a few for the Series models. There are several Trail, Alpine, and Ocean bands still on sale from earlier this week but now at lower prices alongside few new Amazon all-time lows that have now been added to the list like these Black and Blue/Bright Blue Trail Loop models, as well as the Anchor Blue Ocean Band. 

Update 1/24: Pre-orders are now live at Amazon for the new Super Mario Bros. Wonder amiibo right here, and the Super Mario Bros. Wonder Switch 2 Edition game. 

Alongside the new overview trailer for Nintendo’s adorable Talking Flower collectible from Super Mario Bros. Wonder, we are also getting some details on the actual game itself. We already knew the Switch 2 edition and an expansion were on the way this spring, but Nintendo has debuted a new trailer and announced the official release date alongside some special edition amiibo too. 

Today, Amazon is offering its first notable price drop on the official Apple iPhone Air MagSafe Battery. The first-party charger made specifically for iPhone Air has now hit a new Amazon all-time low at $79 shipped. 

While we did catch some notable price drops on Apple’s latest M5-powered iPad Pro lineup over Black Friday and the holidays last year, many of the deepest offers landed on the (more) niche high-end configurations. Today, however, Amazon is serving up some of its best prices ever on the most affordable 13-inch models at nearly $150 off. 

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. 

Anker did unleash a new Prime charging station meets power strip with an 8-in-1 setup and up to 240W of output juice, but that one will run you $130. This originally $110 Anker 6-in-1 Prime USB-C Charging Station is currently sitting down at $60 and might be more than enough for much less. 

The latest Bose SoundLink Flex Portable Speaker (2nd Gen) rarely drops below $129 and $119 in regular events, but today we spotted the Sage colorway down among the lowest prices ever at $99 shipped. 

Today’s lineup of the best deals on Apple Books is now ready to roll, including titles like The Art Spy by Michelle Young, Strange Houses by Uketsu, The New Couple in 5B by Lisa Unger, The Revenge List, Love from Paddington by Michael Bond, The Immortal Game: A History of Chess (Unabridged) by David Shenk, and more. You’ll find everything waiting for you below. 

If you’re looking for a simple and super clean stand for your MacBook, the Twelve South Curve SE is just that and the official site still has units down at an ultra-low clearance price – you can grab one right now for just $10. 

Your afternoon lineup of the best Android game and app deals is here, including Defenchick, Skel and Defense, Slime Craft, Super Onion Boy 2, BE-A Walker, and more. Just be sure also scope out the deals we have today on Anker’s 5-port travel adapter at $20 as well as its 140W 4-port USB-C laptop charger with smart display and Lenovo’s Tab One with folio case at the $90 low. All of the apps await below. 

While we are still awaiting the first notable price drop on the black model, several of the other colors available on the official Apple Crossbody Strap have now dropped in price again. We are now tracking more than a few different Amazon all-time lows here with prices starting at under $27 Prime shipped. 

It’s Friday and today’s lineup of the best deals on Apple TV is jammed with blockbusters. You’ll find titles like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Ferrari, and Murder on the Orient Express, right now through to Enter the Dragon, L.A. Confidential, Beverly Hills Cop, Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Lost In Translation, Cast Away, Cocktail, and more. Everything awaits below. 

We have seen some wild Crocs crossover fashion – check the recent Animal Crossing capsule – but the new LEGO Brick Clogs might be the absolute best (worst) of all. 

We are tracking some notable deals on Samsung’s Smart Monitor lineup this week, including both the latest 4K M8 model at $300 off as well as the M9 flagship OLED with $350 in savings by way of a bonus $50 Samsung credit. However, Amazon is also now throwing in a $100 promotion of its own on both of them. 

Today’s lineup of the best iOS game and app deals is now ready to roll, including titles like Blue Wednesday, Radio Commander, Pocket Rogues, Legend of the Moon, BE-A Walker, and more. On your way down be sure to scope the return of holiday pricing on Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 for today only, these official Apple Watch bands from $31 Prime shipped, an ongoing deal on the official iPhone Air MagSafe Battery, the M4 Pro Mac mini at $150 off, and Apple’s most affordable 13-inch M5 iPad Pro at nearly $150 off. The apps await below. 

If you are, for some reason, one of the only folks out there with a Switch 2 that doesn’t have a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you might want to consider this deal. Nintendo just recently released the Switch 2 Edition alongside some additional content for the game, but the Switch 2 Edition will run you $65. That’s almost certainly worth it, but you could also scoop up the Switch 1 edition on sale for $44.99 Prime shipped at Woot and then grab the $6.99 upgrade pack from Nintendo to land the same package for $52. Chances are it’s going to be a long while before we see the proper Switch 2 edition down at a price like that. “Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition features enhanced resolution, mouse control support for faster and easier decorating, a megaphone for calling your animal residents that uses the system microphone, and more.”

Nintendo unveils release date and new trailer for Super Mario Bros. Wonder Switch 2 Edition + new amiibo

Nintendo announces release date for new physical Talking Flower collectible, pre-orders live today

Nintendo officially revealed The Super Mario Galaxy Movie as part of the 40th anniversary Mario Bros. celebration last year. After that, it served up the world premiere trailer, and it has now announced an official Super Mario Galaxy Movie Nintendo Direct! 

We have tracked a number of notable official first-party Apple Watch bands this week, and now you can add the latest 46mm Pride Edition to the mix – it is now on sale at under $16 Prime shipped. 

Update 2: Pre-orders are now live via Amazon on Nintendo’s new Talking Flower at $34.99.

Update: Nintendo has also announced that Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park is launching on on March 26 with new amiibo (Elephant Mario, Captain Toad and Talking Flower, Poplin and Prince Florian). Trailer below.

As part of the Mario Bros. 40th anniversary, Nintendo announced an upcoming expansion for Super Mario Bros. Wonder that is set to release sometime this spring, but it is also releasing a physical collectible known as Talking Flower too. Today it launched an overview trailer for its adorable new Talking Flower, serving up some details on some of its (sort of) smart capabilities and a release date – pre-orders are set to go live today. 

Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Series Fabric Band

Buy for $38 (Reg. $55)

What we love

This is probably my favorite-looking official Samsung band. It takes that fabric approach we see on a million bargain-bin alternatives and takes it up a notch with the sort of textured and pattern treatment – I also love the vibrant blue here.

While refurbished headphone deals can, generally speaking, be hit or miss, this offer delivers a giant price drop and includes a full 1-year Bose warranty with purchase. Woot is now offering the regularly $359 Bose QuietComfort Bluetooth Headphones down at $129.99 Prime shipped.
