It includes discounts on Switch games and accessories, and I thought I’d call out one of my favorite games that’s cheaper than ever. <em><a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/9/23592822/metroid-prime-remastered-nintendo-switch-best-way-classic"><strong>Metroid Prime Remastered</strong></a></em> is down to $27.99 in digital format for the Switch and Switch 2, and it’s among the best remasters I’ve played because it makes smart improvements to an already-great game. You can get it for this price at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BVS1Z5TL">Amazon</a>, <a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/product/metroid-prime-remastered-nintendo-switch-oled-model-nintendo-switch-nintendo-switch-lite-digital/JCQ6HTGK8P/sku/6535578">Best Buy</a>, and <a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Metroid-Prime-Remastered-Nintendo-Switch-Digital/2453653926">Walmart</a>. The physical version costs around $42 at those retailers.</p> <div class="product-block"><h3>Metroid Prime Remastered</h3> <figure class="product-image"><img width="300" height="169" src="https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/chorus/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24420921/Switch_MetroidPrimeRemastered_Screen_08.jpg?w=300" class="attachment-medium size-medium" alt="A screenshot of Samus Aran in Metroid Prime Remastered" /></figure> <h3>Where to Buy:</h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BVS1Z5TL?th=1"> <strike>$39.99</strike> $27.99 at <strong>Amazon (digital)</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Metroid-Prime-Remastered-Nintendo-Switch-Digital/2453653926"> <strike>$39.99</strike> $27.99 at <strong>Walmart (digital)</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/product/metroid-prime-remastered-nintendo-switch-oled-model-nintendo-switch-nintendo-switch-lite-digital/JCQ6HTGK8P/sku/6535578"> <strike>$39.99</strike> $27.99 at <strong>Best Buy (digital)</strong></a></li></ul></div> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most <em>Metroid </em>fans have already played this one — maybe multiple times, even — but if you’ve somehow missed out, here’s your sign to pick it up. It applies a modern coat of updated textures and improved lighting to the 2002 GameCube title, and it runs at a smooth frame rate. Notably, the control scheme doesn’t require motion controls like the Wii re-release did.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">For about the same price as this digital title, true fans can also buy the <em>Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective</em> hardcover book. Normally $49.99, it’s $28.50 at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Metroid-Prime-1-3-Retrospective-Official/dp/1913330273">Amazon</a> and <a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Metroid-Prime-1-3-A-Visual-Retrospective-The-Official-Art-and-Making-of-Metroid-Prime-1-3-Hardcover-9781913330279/14437707119">Walmart</a> for the 208-page art book covering the original trilogy, peppered with some fantastic quotes from people who worked on the games. It’s an unusually candid look into Nintendo’s first-person shooter series and the company’s game design philosophy. It’d make for a great holiday gift. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/games/803399/metroid-prime-visual-retrospective-art-book-review">Read our coverage of the book</a>.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other great Verge-approved deals</h2> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><em><strong>Flow</strong> </em>is one of the best animated movies of the past few years, and now it’s cheaper than ever to own a digital copy. Unless you have HBO Max to watch it on demand, snag the 4K version from <a href="https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/flow/umc.cmc.22galt2spi1jlic15bdjvf1mz">Apple TV</a> or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DNQCWQPK">Amazon</a> for $4.99. The voiceless tale follows a cat who survives a huge flood that leaves civilizations in ruin. The perilous (yet adorable) adventure sees the cat relying on other animals to survive. It’s just a fantastic way to spend 90 minutes.</li> <li>It’s never a bad time to recommend a cable as useful as <strong>Anker’s 2-in-1 USB-C cable</strong>. The two-headed cable can charge two devices from a single charging port (up to 140W for a single device), and the six-foot version is down to $15.99 at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DGLJWBC6">Amazon</a>. This is only $4 off, and it’s far from the first time we’ve seen this deal. But it’s never been cheaper, and it’s practical cable that will likely improve your charging setup. My wife and I use it to cycle between charging our MacBooks and an iPad, occasionally throwing a phone or Kindle into the mix.</li> <li>Best Buy is trolling us a bit with today’s price on the <strong>white Magic Keyboard with Touch ID</strong>. We <a href="https://www.theverge.com/gadgets/998824/apple-magic-keyboard-touch-interstellar-4k-blu-ray-deal-sale">focused yesterday</a> on the $30 discount for the black version of the wireless keyboard that brought it down to $169.99. That deal is gone, but the model with white key caps is down to $149.99 at <a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/product/magic-keyboard-with-touch-id-and-numeric-keypad-for-mac-models-with-apple-silicon-usb-c-white-keys/JJGCQ8C5FX">Best Buy</a>. It’s compatible with all Macs that have Apple silicon, dating back to the M1 models (so long as you have macOS 15.1 or later). It recharges via USB-C, and has a full numerical pad, plus other keys for easier navigation on your computer.</li> </ul>
