Nintendo Switch 2 gamers, don't miss out on this great Switch 2 exclusive deal. For a limited time Amazon has dropped the price of Kirby Air Riders, normally $69.99, to $51.99 with free shipping, a savings of about 26%. This is the lowest price I've seen for a brand new, physical retail copy of the game since Amazon Prime Day back in June.

26% Off Kirby Air Riders (Nintendo Switch 2)

At first glance, Kirby Air Riders is a kart racer similar to Mario Kart World but with a unique cast of characters that includes Kirby, Waddle Dee, King Dedede, and Meta Knight. That comparison, however, is skin deep. These two games are different enough that they're both worth adding to your Switch 2 collection, even if Masahiro Sakurai had hinted otherwise.

In his Kirby Air Riders review, Logan Plant points out that Air Riders is a "significant leap forward" versus the original Air Ride for Gamecube. Although both Air Riders and Mario Kart World involve racing against other characters in go-karts, even the fundamental gameplay is quite different. Mario Kart World focuses on racing mechanics, but Kirby Air Riders is much more battle-oriented. In that respect, it actually shares some similarities to Super Smash Bros, even down to every character having its own super move.

Kirby Air Riders also has a couple of modes that distinguishes itself from its competition, most notably a single player campaign called Road Trip that actually has a story behind it. Equally enjoyable (if not more so) is City Trial mode, a battle royale fest that has you exploring a big city to collect power-ups and customize your vehicle across a total of 150 different challenges. Mario Kart World's Free Roam allows you to do some of these things, but not nearly all of it.

The next time I expect the price to drop will be around Black Friday in November. The price might go down a bit more (I'm guessing $49.99), but you'll have to wait a few months to save a few bucks.

If you're out of space, double your storage with this memory card deal

The Onn 512GB MicroSD Express Memory Card is still available at Walmart for $84.77 and the 256GB model is also available for $46.77, both with free shipping. The Switch 2 console will only accept MicroSD Express cards. If you have a standard MicroSD card from your previous Switch, it won't work on the Switch 2. Although the two might look similar, the MicroSD Express card is much faster than its precedessor. The Onn model is no different, with speeds of up to 800MB/s write and 600MB/s read.

Ovee 30 minutes’ worth of unused voice lines from Resident Evil 4 Remake have surfaced online, one of which proves that Capcom wanted to make a connection to Village.

This leak comes from a notable community modder named Keff0, who uncovered both audio and subtitles for a whopping 671 lines on the game’s PlayStation 5 launch disc. These lines aren’t on the PC version of the game, and they’re fully recorded, featuring dialogue from Leon, Luis, Ashley, and the Merchant.

One of the Merchant’s unused lines is standing out to viewers, as he mentions a character that wasn’t even a blink in the RE Team’s mind when the game was first made back in the mid-2000s.

“Ah, I see you’re no stranger to villages. The Duke? Lad shows promise,” the Merchant says.

Resident Evil fans will make the connection to the series’ eighth game, Village, which features another merchant character who simply calls himself ‘The Duke.’ Funny enough, The Duke also references the Resident Evil 4 merchant as players browse through his wares, saying, “‘What’re ya buyin’?’ Haha, just something an old friend of mine used to say.”

Capcom’s decision to cut The Merchant’s line from RE4 Remake is a bit saddening, as it would have further cemented the relationship between these characters and added a bit more continuity to the timeline, if retroactively. However, this insertion of a modern-day Resident Evil character in the series’ single-most beloved game could have rubbed some players the wrong way, though we’ll never know for certain why Capcom chose to leave this particular dialogue out of the final product.

😮Over 600 cut voice lines have been found in Resident Evil 4 Remake.

Modder Keff0, who previously restored the game’s cut Chapter 0 and made it playable, has now uncovered 671 finished voice lines that were cut from Resident Evil 4 Remake.

This wasn’t the only interesting find from the RE4 Remake; Keff0 also uncovered unused animations for the Merchant’s death, meaning that originally, players would have been able kill him. His shop was even supposed to close after he died, and save data found by Keff0 shows that he’d be gone for the rest of the game. This would have made it more similar to the original, but it seems like the team at Capcom thought that’d be too counterintuitive to this modern rework of the title.

Like many AAA games, there’s a swath of unused lines, scenes, art, enemies, characters, and other assets in recent Resident Evil titles that don’t make it to the final cut; earlier this year, Leon’s voice actor revealed that his favorite line in Resident Evil Requiem was ultimately axed by Capcom — and it’s a shame, because it was hilarious.

Luckily, there’s much more to come, with Code Veronica getting a remake in 2027 and a live-action Resident Evil movie directed by Zach Cregger set to hit theaters this month.

Back to Hogwarts is celebrated every year on September 1. This is the day that prospective Witches and Wizards board the Hogwarts Express, arrive at school, and enjoy a welcome feast alongside the Sorting Ceremony. For those not going to Hogwarts this year, the celebration is mostly about announcements and discounts on popular Potter merch.

If you're in the market for the latter, there are a number of Harry Potter gifts on sale this week. I've gathered the best deals right here for you to check out for yourself.

Most of the deals I've listed here are related to LEGO. The LEGO Store is currently running a big Back to Hogwarts promotion that includes a discount on the popular Diagon Alley set. We have this build on our list of the best LEGO Harry Potter sets you can buy right now, and LEGO has the lowest price we've ever seen on it. It's currently on backorder at the LEGO Store, but you can get it at Amazon for a couple bucks more if you want it faster.

Alongside individual discounts, the LEGO Store is offering double points on all Harry Potter purchases. There's also a new exclusive The Ministry of Magic - Collectors' Edition set now available that is one of the most expensive LEGO releases for September.

Other than LEGO sets, there are also discounts on the 4K Blu-ray versions of the films. The eight-film collection is on sale for a decent price, but it's the newer 11-film collection that has the best discount right now. This collection came out back in May 2026 and combines the original Harry Potter movies with the three Fantastic Beast films in one big box set. This is the first major discount on this collection we've seen since it was first released.

Last but not least, we have the PS5 version of the LEGO Harry Potter Collection. Having played these games myself I can tell you right now that these games are very simple, but also quite fun. You get to make your way through a brick-built version of the movies and discover hidden Easter Eggs all over the place. The collection combines the Years 1-4 and Years 5-7 games into one purchase, both of which IGN gave positive review scores. At $19.99, this is a good price for a physical PS5 game in this day and age.

What About Book Deals?

There are almost always deals on Harry Potter books going on, but I couldn't find any that were particularly good right now. Even with Labor Day sales the Barnes & Noble Book Haul sale going on this week, there just doesn't seem to be any new price cuts worthy of mentioning.

That's especially true if you're looking for deals on any of the many Harry Potter illustrated editions. You'll likely have to wait for a different upcoming sale if you want to save on those hefty tomes. The new illustrated version of The Half-Blood Prince is coming out next month, after which there will probably be some deals again.
