Pre-orders open for new Nintendo Switch Lite refresh

Trusted Reviews

In generations past, new Nintendo consoles have been tricky to acquire. At times the company has been accused of deliberately throttling supply to keep demand high. In the era of scalping bots though, the problem has been getting enough consoles into the hands of people who want to play them, rather than the unscrupulous free market parasites selling them on at an inflated price.

Switch 2 release might break from Nintendo tradition, in a good way

ComingSoon

Nintendo is confident that the company can prevent Switch 2 scalping from being a problem. PS5 and Series X users no doubt remember the widespread scalping that both took advantage of and worsened the console’s shortages at launch. While Switch shortages weren’t as extreme, Nintendo also struggled to meet demand over the last few years. However, if Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa is correct, Switch 2 users won’t need to worry about that particular frustration.

If you just built a gaming PC from scratch or are about to, then you’re probably in the market for a solid gaming monitor, and while there are a ton of options out there, you may want to consider this one from MSI. While you may be more familiar with MSI as a company that makes laptops, motherboards, and GPU variants, it also makes a lot of solid monitors as well, such as the MSI Optix G32C4W. It’s a 31.5-inch monitor that usually goes for $249, but is currently discounted at Walmart to $199, so it’s well worth considering if you want something that’s large but budget-friendly.
