Donkey Kong Country Returns HD down at $45, PlayStation DealMania up to 75% off over 2,400 games, more

25% off/$45

As part of its latest Spring Video Game Sale, Woot is giving Switch gamers another shot at the lowest price we have tracked on the new Donkey Kong Country Returns HD remake at $44.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). Regularly $60, this is a straight up 25% off and matching the lowest we have tracked outside of some YMMV and in-store offers. This deal lands alongside a host of return Switch game deals you’ll find down below as well. Let’s just hope the reportedly official price increase on Switch games in select regions doesn’t make its way here too.

Update 3/24: Nintendo has unleashed a new video and some additional imagery of the Nintendo x JetBlue Cloudtop Cruiser…you’ll find them below. 

Update: Nintendo has now officially served up some details on the Mario plane as part of its 2025 Mario Day announcement:

 JetBlue and Nintendo have partnered on a custom livery featuring Mario and friends! The Airbus A320 Restyled aircraft named “Cloudtop Cruiser” features a bright, colorful design featuring Mario, Princess Peach, Luigi, Bowser, Donkey Kong and Yoshi. Inside the aircraft, the welcome screens of the plane’s seatback entertainment touchscreens will also include Mario and some of his Mushroom Kingdom pals. JetBlue customers and Nintendo fans can now spot the Cloudtop Cruiser flying throughout JetBlue’s network!

Nintendo just took to its official X account to reveal some official images of the new JetBlue x Nintendo Cloudtop Cruiser – it is now, not arguably, officially the world’s greatest plane. And this one doesn’t just land at Sunshine Airport, Nintendo says this ”Mario & Friends-themed plane might be landing on a runway near you.” Get a closer look below.

Trade-in/Powerbeats Pro 2

Earlier this month Apple’s Beats brand finally unleashed the next-generation Powerbeats Pro 2. After getting a chance to test them out, we said “they’re better in every way” while delivering built-in heart rate monitoring. For some, they easily give the AirPods Pro 2 a run for their money, if not for any other reason than the more secure fit made possible by the now somewhat iconic ear hook design. One thing they are not is on sale – if they are anything like the previous Beats earbuds release, it will be several months before we see a price drop. And that’s where Best Buy’s trade options come into play. Details below.

How much will Nintendo Switch 2 cost?

February feels like it’s taking forever and March might be even worse as Mario Day 2025 will likely just be a reminder of how much longer we will have to wait for Nintendo Switch 2 to actually launch.

But when is Switch 2 going to actually release Nintendo? And how much is it going to cost? We need to know and we need to know soon.
