Today’s best tech deals: Lots of Switch games, Fire HD tablets, and more
Ars Technica

Today’s Dealmaster includes a number of discounts on first-party Nintendo Switch games. While most of the deals don’t reach the lowest prices we’ve ever seen, the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Party, and Super Mario Maker 2 are all down to $40, bringing them each about $10 cheaper than their usual street prices online. Many of the discounted games have been out of contract for a few years, but newer recommended titles like Clubhouse Games and Paper Mario: The Origami King are down to the lowest prices we’ve tracked as well.

Elsewhere, we also have discounts on Amazon’s Fire HD tablet lineup, the latest iPad Air and Apple Watch Series 6, and the upcoming Hitman III, among others. You can have a look at our full roundup below.
