The Nintendo Switch is on sale with a 17% discount, that’s equivalent to $50 in savings. It may not look like much of a discount, but it’s rare to enjoy savings when buying this popular gaming console, so take advantage of this offer while it’s still available.

How to Choose a Nintendo Switch Deal on Cyber Monday

When the Nintendo Switch originally came out, there weren’t a lot of options; in fact, there wasn’t even an OLED model that you could buy with the upgraded screen. Nowadays, there’s been a boom in games and accessories, so there are a ton of options out there. When it comes to the Nintendo Switch itself, if you’re mostly going to be playing with it docked, then you should get the more affordable base model, but if you do plan to use it as a handheld console more, then the higher cost of the OLED model is really worth it.

When it comes to games, if you’re looking to not spend too much, then you can’t go wrong with the first-party Nintendo games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and so forth, so it’s worth looking at those to see which you like. As for accessories, a lot of that will depend on the sort of games you play, but it is worth grabbing a “full” controller, either from Nintendo or a third-party seller, since the Joy-Cons can be a bit difficult to use, especially for longer periods. There are also a couple of fun accessories that let you put the Joy-Cons inside them and use them that way, such as the wheel accessory, which is a lot of fun for racing games.

How We Chose These Nintendo Switch Cyber Monday Deals

Unfortunately, there aren’t a ton of great Nintendo Switch deals floating around these days, which means that we mostly have to rely on finding great deals for games and accessories. That said, there are some refurbished Nintendo Switch deals that we may add or remove based on how good we thing the deal is and whether it’s worth the offer. Other than that, we do our best to include a good selection of games and accessories so you can pick and match what works for your favorite type of gaming.

We also rely on our expertise as deal hunters and our tools to ensure you’re getting the best deal for the money you’re putting in. That way, you know that you’re buying with confidence and you won’t regret it.

3 PlayStation Plus games to play this weekend (February 14-16)
Players charge at each other in Chivalry 2's Arena mode.

PlayStation surprised us earlier this week and a new State of Play showcase that highlighted a ton of upcoming PS5 games to look forward to, such as Metal Gear Solid: Delta and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. However, we have a long time to wait for most of those games, and even longer if you want to snag them on PlayStation Plus. This month has no shortage of new games coming out to play, but if you don't have the time or money to get them all, PlayStation Plus has you covered. We picked out some gems from the catalog that might have gone under your radar at the time. Whether you want a deep RPG, fantastic party game, or hardcore multiplayer title, these are the games you should play this weekend.
The Outer Worlds

There's a good chance that Avowed will eventually make its way to PS5, but right now, there's no official word on that. What has been on PlayStation Plus for a while is the last major RPG from Obsidian, The Outer Worlds. Often compared to a Fallout in space, this is a more contained RPG experience where you explore several hub locations rather than a single open world. The entire game is a parody on corporations, capitalism, and class that hits way more than it misses. You are given a ton of different build options, and the companions are some of the best we've had the pleasure to meet. This isn't a huge game, but we do need to give you fair warning that it is leaving the service this month so you will need to commit to it if you want to finish it all. Even if you don't, it is worth a purchase to be ready for The Outer Worlds 2.

How to rebind skills in Avowed

Making proper use of all your best abilities in Avowed is the easiest of the tips and tricks you can take into the game. When you begin, you will have your healing and mana potions set on your quick select bar, followed by the first skill you unlock and first companion ability. That's great in the early game, but it isn't long before you unlock new skills that you want on that slot more than what is put there for you. You can always access all your abilities through the tactical menu, but that is a bit cumbersome. Instead, here's how you can remap your quick skills to whatever you want.
