The Nintendo Switch was the best selling console of 2019 and we’re not surprised at all. The Switch was released nearly 3 years again and still no other console is able to match the Switch’s versatility. In addition, the already stellar gaming library has been bolstered with several high quality games in 2019, including Pokemon Sword and Shield, Super Mario Maker 2, Link’s Awakening, Ring Fit, and much more. With increased pressure from Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo is likely to be more aggressive with deals and promotions during 2020. Check here for all the best deals on Nintendo Switch consoles, accessories, and games.
Gorgeous Avengers 4K Blu-Ray Box Set Discounted To Lowest Price Yet
Marvel’s Infinity Saga spanned a whopping 23 movies, but the four Avengers movies will always be seen as the tentpoles. Last August, Best Buy released a gorgeous steelbook box set featuring all four Avengers movies in 4K UHD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and digital. Though it usually goes for $150, collectors can pick it up for $50 off right now.
Includes 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and digital versions of all four Avengers movies
- The Avengers (2012)
- Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
- Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
- Avengers: Endgame (2019)
At $100, this is the lowest price we’ve seen for the Avengers 4-Movie Collection, besting the $120 Black Friday price. The Best Buy-exclusive box set includes four individually packaged steelbooks, each emblazoned with the Avengers logo.
Make no mistake about it: This is a really good deal. Individual (non-steelbook) 4K UHD versions of the Avengers movies go for around $30 each. You’re getting each movie for $25, with the added benefit of this being a collector’s item that will likely become scarce in the coming years (maybe even months).
As an added bonus, the collection includes an exclusive letter written by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.
Even in an era where streaming services dominant home media, Best Buy often releases attractive Blu-ray box sets. Star Wars fans will want to check out Best Buy’s Skywalker Saga box set, which includes all nine mainline films and is available to pre-order now.
GTA 5 Joins Xbox Game Pass On Xbox One Today
Xbox Game Pass has kicked off the new year with a bang. While a full list of new arrivals for January has not been announced, Microsoft announced today that it has added Grand Theft Auto V to the Xbox One edition of the service, letting you play the full campaign or jump into GTA Online if you have a Gold (or Game Pass Ultimate ) subscription.
GTA 5 received a positive critical reception including a 9/10 from GameSpot when it launched on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2013, but its ports to current-generation platforms and ongoing support for GTA Online have kept it going strong for years. The latest update, released in December, added the Diamond Casino Heist. The sprawling multiplayer mission lets you plan a big score with various approaches. Unexpected problems appear on the fly, to boost replayability.
If you enjoy your time in Los Santos enough to buy some DLC, the Game Pass membership entitles you to 10% discounts on the Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack or Shark Cash Cards. You can also save 20% on the base game to add it to your permanent collection. And if you don’t have Game Pass yet, you can buy your first three months of a Game Pass Ultimate subscription for $1 through January 6.
Including GTA 5 in Game Pass is a surprise, especially given that the game is still consistently a top-seller after so many years. It even made the NPD list of top-sellers in October and November, in the midst of a busy shopping season filled with new game releases.
GTA 5 is playable now on Xbox Game Pass, and presumably there will be other games coming later this month to Game Pass. The service recently added some other notable games like The Witcher 3 and Pillars of Eternity. If you need more recommendations for games to try on the service, check out our top Xbox Game Pass picks.

Update: Feige Didn’t Intend to Confirm MCU’s First Transgender Character
UPDATE: Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige’s comments about the first transgender character coming “very soon” to the MCU have reportedly been misconstrued.
“While Feige’s answer appeared to respond to the specific question about a trans character, two sources close to the studio tell Variety that Feige only intended to respond to the first part about LGBT+ characters, and he did not mean to imply that a trans character will be coming to the MCU ‘very soon’,” according to Variety.
Our original report follows.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has confirmed that the MCU will be getting its first transgender character “very soon.”

New Animal Crossing: New Horizons Trailer, Screenshots Revealed
Nintendo is kicking off the new year with another look at one of 2020’s biggest Switch titles, Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Ahead of the game’s release in March, the company has shared a new trailer that offers another brief glimpse at its gameplay–as well as our first look at a returning fan-favorite character.
The video, which you can watch below, is presented as a commercial for Nook Inc.’s Deserted Island Getaway Package. An audience of Animal Crossing characters watches clips of some of the new tasks you’ll be able to perform in the game, such as collecting material to craft furniture and paving pathways with a new trowel tool.
What’s most notable about the trailer, however, is that it also provides our first glimpse at Isabelle. Up until now, Isabelle has only been teased for New Horizons, but her appearance in the video confirms she’ll indeed return in the game, and her excited reaction to the clips of island life seems to suggest she’ll play a fairly major role.
In addition to the trailer, Nintendo has released a handful of new Animal Crossing: New Horizons screenshots on the game’s Japanese website, along with new key art. The latter in particular is interesting because it reveals two new characters and offers another look at Isabelle, who seems to be showing a village around the island–possibly hinting at her role. Harvey, the dog who runs the RV campground in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, can also be spotted in the background, confirming he’ll likewise be returning in New Horizons. You can take a look at new screens and key art below.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons launches for Nintendo Switch on March 20, 2020. No pre-order bonuses for the game have been announced yet, but you can already reserve a copy at various retailers. You can learn more in our Animal Crossing: New Horizon’s pre-order guide, and be sure to check out our roundup of everything we know about New Horizons to catch up on all the details that have been revealed so far.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Update Adds A Familiar Game Mode
Infinity Ward has introduced a new mode to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with the start of 2020. The studio shared details about Grind, a deathmatch mode combining two Call of Duty game types into one fast-paced battle for dog tags, in a blog post.
Grind, as seen in 2013’s Call of Duty: Ghosts, is an amalgam of Hardpoint and Kill Confirmed, and is now playable on all platforms. The objective is to kill your enemies and collect their dog tags by delivering them to your team’s location. Similar to Kill Confirmed, you can deny dog tag confirmations by grabbing them yourself. But you also drop your own dog tag, along with the many you may have collected, when you are shot down.
Infinity Ward said Grind “add[s] multiple levels of tactics into an already tension-filled battlefield,” and the studio shared several strategies and tips on how to perform best while playing the new mode.
Infinity Ward also tweeted a playlist update alongside Grind’s announcement, saying the new mode replaces Drop Zone, Shoot House 24/7 replaces Shoot the Ship, and Snowfight has been removed.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare received an update on December 18 that added several new pieces of content and implemented numerous balance changes and bug fixes. Packaged within that update were new multiplayer maps brought back from 2007’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The patch also included a new Operator and Special Operation, addressed issues with audio and weapons, and much more.

What’s New To Disney Plus In January 2020? Movies, TV Shows, And Original Programming
The Disney+ series The Mandalorian may be over for now, but there is still a ton of great content coming to the service in January. In December, we saw what the service will have available for the start of the month. Now, Disney+ has revealed what’s arriving for the rest of January, and we combined both lists, so there is only one-stop to figure out what you can watch next. Check it all out below.
Kicking off the new year–which you can watch now–is the Disney classic Cool Runnings, which is loosely based on the story of the 1988 Jamaican bobsled team. It’s the perfect feel-good comedy to start 2020.
The live-action remake of the classic animated movie Aladdin arrives on January 8. In his review of Aladdin, GameSpot’s Chris E. Hayner said, “Aladdin is good. It’s not perfect, but it’s a big, extravagant musical that’s filled with fun performances, bright colors, and some exciting moments. Will Smith’s turn as Genie isn’t better than what Robin Williams brought to the character, but it’s different enough that it stands on its own merit. And, if you’re into this sort of thing–and you should be–Smith has a new rap over the end credits that is themed to the movie.”
There are some original programs coming to a close at the end of this month as well. The travel docuseries The World According to Jeff Goldblum wraps up on January 24 with an episode about jewelry, as the star of the series finds out what attracts collectors to this item. He’ll probably say “bling” at least four times during the episode. Also on the 24th, Encore and Pick of the Litter have their finales as well.
Below, you will find everything arriving on Disney+ for January. If you’re interested in more streaming news, check out what’s coming to Netflix and Hulu this month.
