The Switch’s Joy-Con controllers are all well and good, but if you have longer gaming sessions, a Pro Controller is in order. This wireless option lets you play from anywhere in the room. Additional buttons and two joysticks provide a more comfortable gaming experience.

Are your kids excited about the latest Sonic movie? We definitely are. Not only are we excited about the Keanu Reeves-voiced Shadow the Hedgehog, we’re also excited about the standoff between the two supercharged furballs.

If you prefer to download your games digitally instead of purchasing and storing physical games, do yourself a favor and invest in a microSD card. With this offer you will receive a pair, each with generous additional storage space. Thanks to these little green guys, you can avoid the “low storage space” notification.

“I bought it for extra space on the Switch and it recognized it straight away,” wrote one fan. “No file corruption or issues of any kind.”

Link is one of those iconic characters in Nintendo history, and The Legend of Zelda is a game that both experienced and casual gamers know well. More lighthearted and calming than the original, this version is easy to play on a day when you just want to relax but don’t want to concentrate too much. The best way I can describe this game is “slow and steady.” In terms of price trends, this is the lowest ever!

“As a long time Zelda fan, I absolutely love being able to play this with my 7 year old,” one player wrote. “I also like that we get to play as Zelda instead of Link for the first time.”
