9 Switch Games You Can Grab For Cheap This Memorial Day
If you're looking at physical Switch games, there are a few good deals going around at the moment. Advance Wars 1 and 2 Re-Boot Camp is currently just $30 at GameStop (half off) while Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is just $40 (33 percent off) at Amazon. 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Catherine: Full Body, and Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster are all heavily discounted as well at VGP.
Meanwhile, in the digital world of the eShop, the following games are all great and pretty cheap right now:
Prince of Persia The Lost Crown - $20 (50 percent off)
It Takes Two - $20 (50 percent off)
Tales of Kenzera: ZAU - $8 (60 percent off)
Monster Hunter Rise + Sunbreak Deluxe - $20 (71 percent off)
Dead Cells - $12.50 (50 percent off)
Penny's Big Breakaway - $15 (50 percent off)
Doom 2016 - $4 (80 percent off)
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Complete Edition - $15 (75 percent off)
Rayman Legends Definitive Edition - $8 (80 percent off)
The Witcher 3 port is just short of ugly on Switch, but if you have no other way to play the grim fantasy RPG it's well worth picking up, especially on the game's 10th anniversary. Doom 2016 runs and looks better, and should help sate the urge to rip and tear for Nintendo fans who can't access Doom: The Dark Ages. If you just want a fun, colorful throwback to pass the time, my suggestion is Penny's Big Breakaway, one of last year's great unsung Dreamcast 3D platformer homages.
There are two other Switch games that are only slightly on sale but might be of interest. The Chrono Trigger-like Sea of Stars is currently $22.75 (around 30 percent off), but just got a big free Throes of the Watchmaker DLC that adds a new eight-hour quest, additional character, and more classes. Labyrinth of the Demon King, meanwhile, is a lo-fi horror dungeon crawler that just came out last week and is already turning heads. It's $16 this week (20 percent off). If you're interested in what might end up on the list of 2025's most overlooked games, I'd give this one a shot.

Is Amazon testing a cheaper color Kindle?
A Reddit user, writing in Portuguese, has shared a handful of images of what appears to be a prototype of a small Kindle with a color screen. The device shows the name Kindle Petit Color in the corner of one image, although the post author says that name hasn't been finalized yet. The Redditor says the screen's colors are 'much better than the Colorsoft' and the prototype lets you adjust the intensity and saturation of individual colors. The size of the device's screen bezels are similar to Amazon's entry-level black-and-white Kindle, but they claim it will actually be a little smaller than the 11th-generation version of the e-reader. According to the post's author, the prototype's user interface takes better advantage of its color E Ink screen, letting you change the colors of the battery, Wi-Fi, and shopping cart icons, as well as the reading progress status bar. The text of an ebook can also be colored and will dynamically transition from one color to another through four different shades as you progress through a book, giving you another visual clue as to when you're near the end. These images and details are unconfirmed, and while Amazon has been expanding its lineup of color-screen Kindles, you should take this leak with more than a few grains of salt.

Amazon expands its perishable delivery service, putting pressure on traditional grocers
NEW YORK — Amazon is now rolling out a service where its Prime members can order their blueberries and milk at the same time as basic items like batteries and T-shirts and get them within hours. The online juggernaut said Wednesday that customers in more than 1,000 cities and towns including Raleigh, North Carolina; Milwaukee; and Columbus, Ohio, now have access to fresh groceries with its free same-day delivery service on orders over $25 for Prime members, with plans to reach over 2,300 cities and towns by year-end. Amazon called the move 'one of the most significant grocery expansions' for the online retailer as it introduces thousands of perishable items into its existing logistics network. The expansion is expected to put pressure on grocery delivery services offered by such rivals as Walmart, Kroger and Target, which all saw their shares take a hit in trading Wednesday. Amazon's shares rose 1%. Amazon said that if an order doesn't meet the minimum, members can still choose same-day delivery for a $2.99 fee. For customers without a Prime membership, the service is available with a $12.99 fee, regardless of order size. In the past, Prime subscribers' grocery orders were fulfilled through Amazon Fresh or Whole Foods Market. Prime members pay $14.99 monthly or $139 annually. Amazon launched its Prime membership in 2005, and it has become the gold standard for subscription services with a slew of perks including unlimited streaming with Prime Video and discounts at Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh. Walmart, which launched its membership program called Walmart + in 2020, has been racing to add more benefits. It costs $12.95 per month or $98 per year. Depending on members' location and availability, Walmart members can schedule same-day delivery for their groceries, including perishables. 'We're continuously innovating to make grocery shopping simpler, faster, and more affordable for our customers, especially Prime members,' said Doug Herrington, CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores, in a statement. 'By introducing fresh groceries into our Same-Day Delivery service, we're creating a quick and easy experience for customers. ' Herrington noted that customers can order milk alongside electronics; oranges, apples, and potatoes with a mystery novel; and frozen pizza at the same time as tools for their next home improvement project—and check out with one cart and have everything delivered to their doorstep within hours. The company first tested the service in Phoenix, last year, and then added Orlando, Florida and Kansas City, Missouri, earlier this year. Amazon noted that many of its customers were first-time Amazon grocery shoppers who now return to shop twice as often with the same-day deliver service compared to those who didn't purchase food. It also noted that based on early sales, strawberries now regularly knock AirPods out of the top five best sellers of all products sold, while bananas, Honeycrisp apples, limes, and avocados round out the top ten best-selling perishable grocery items in their same-day delivery carts. 'It's a nice step forward,' said Jason Goldberg, chief commerce strategy officer at Publicis Groupe, a global marketing and communications company. 'It definitely makes them more competitive' in perishables. Goldberg noted that Amazon has struggled to succeed in fresh food and that shoppers have been confused ordering shelf stable items and perishables, and having them appear in different online shopping carts, including Amazon Fresh. He said this move will greatly improve the experience. Amazon said it generated over $100 billion in gross sales of groceries and household essentials last year not including sales from Whole Foods Market and Amazon Fresh. In June, Amazon said it was investing more than $4 billion to triple the size of its delivery network by 2026, with a focus on small towns and rural communities across the country. It also noted that it's using artificial intelligence to help it predict local customer preferences so it can stock popular items alongside items targeted for specific communities
