As the Nintendo Switch 2 prepares to launch, its list of third-party games grows, including a trio of Sega and Atlus games that include classics and deep cuts. I got to play all three ahead of the Switch 2 release on June 5. 

The three games — Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S and RAIDOU Remastered — are odd bedfellows that represent distinct eras and genres among Sega’s oeuvre. All three play well on the Switch 2, which is unsurprising given the console’s rumored PS4-equivalent performance but still reassuring given the original Switch’s limited capability.

Yakuza 0 is the marquee title of the trio for its role in the series — a prequel to the original Yakuza and de facto entry point for new players that details the origins of fan favorites Kazuma Kiryu and Daigo Dojima. In addition to the story, Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut includes a new mode, Red Light Raid, that lets you pick a character from a roster of Yakuza heroes and nobodies to brawl with successively harder rounds of enemy groups. 

While dated compared with the sharp combat and graphics of the latest in the series, February’s Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, Yakuza 0 is still a fantastic game and great to have on the new console. I only played it in docked mode, so I can’t say how the game plays in handheld with a 1080p and 120 frames per second display graphics cap.

Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is a deeper cut, the third game in the Devil Summoner series within the Megami Tensei franchise, which was originally released for the PS2 in 2006. Though the game has been refreshed for modern consoles (the game will also be out on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC and last-gen systems), it preserves the charm of the era’s games — one where very little is explained and players have to figure it out for themselves. (I had to have a certain solution to a puzzle spelled out for me.)  

Starring the eponymous Raidou as a detective assisted by demons he captures and can use to investigate denizens of his town or summon for battle in real-time combat, the game is a little slower and less dense than today’s graphically-intense titles. 

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S is the opposite — a contemporary puzzle game first released in 2020 for current and last-gen consoles, the re-release preserves the bright colors and frantic gameplay with a few new multiplayer modes. In our preview, Sega paired up gamers for 2-vs-2 puzzler matches where we tried to stay out of each other’s way while clearing lines. For Switch 2, players can switch from Joy-Con mode to Mouse mode, which is precise enough but adds to the frenetic tension.

We’re huge fans of wireless earbuds and we think everyone can benefit from adding a pair to their tech bag. There are plenty of options on the market today with various features and wide-ranging prices. You don’t have to spend huge sums to listen to your music and podcasts on the go, especially if you snag this Memorial Day bargain. Amazon’s new discount slashes the price all the way to just $20, a full 50% off the original $40 asking price and the lowest price we’ve seen. You don’t need to enter any codes or clip any coupons, but you do need to act soon as this deal could end at any time.

These Soundcore P20i wireless earbuds come in a choice of three different colors at this price — black, navy blue and white — so make sure to select the color that you prefer before adding anything to your cart. Other hues are also available for $4 more. 

Color aside, the P20i all have the same features on the inside. That means you’ll get 10 hours of battery life on a single charge with the case extending that to 30 hours. You can top them up for 10 minutes and get a full two hours of playtime should the need arise, too. And as mentioned, they’re a great option if you plan to pick these up as running earbuds or for working out thanks to that IPX5 rating.

Why this deal matters 

These Anker headphones are back down to their all-time low price. We saw these on sale a few months ago but they’ve never been cheaper than this, and we don’t expect that to change anytime soon. But there’s no telling how long this deal will last so for that reason we suggest acting now if you’re interested.
