Today’s best tech deals: Nintendo Switch games, Logitech mice, and more

25 Maggio 2021 News

Ars Technica

Today’s Dealmaster includes a handful of good prices on high-profile Nintendo Switch games, with the highly regarded The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze both marked down to $40 as part of a wider Memorial Day sale at GameStop. Neither of those discounts represents the absolute lowest price we’ve seen, and both games are a few years old at this point, but they remain excellent options for new Switch owners and are each priced lower than we typically see over the course of the year. Newer noteworthy titles like Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury and Persona 5 Strikers, meanwhile, are down to their all-time lows.
Elsewhere, our deals roundup has strong discounts on Logitech’s MX Master 3 and G305 Lightspeed wireless mice, both of which we’ve recommended in the past for office work and gaming, respectively. We also have deals on various monitors, Apple’s iPad Air and Mac Mini, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and much more. You can peruse our curated list below.
