Other things to know: 512 GB built-in storage; can add an external hard drive for more space. Lacks a disc drive. Weaker graphics card means most games will be a native 1080p or 1440p. Only available for pickup, subject to availability.

Nintendo Switch + MarioKart 8 Deluxe Bundle — Our Pick Target deal price: $300 (with 3 months Nintendo Online); street price: $330

What we like: Continues to do the thing that Nintendo consoles do best: play excellent, family-friendly, genre-defining Nintendo games from classic franchises like Mario, Zelda, and Pokémon. Includes MarioKart 8 and Nintendo Online 3 month subscription.

Other things to know: No 4K, and it doesn't offer many streaming video apps. New with 1-year Nintendo warranty. RedCard holders save an additional 5 percent, but still really only a viable deal (by our definition) for those interested in online multiplayer.

Sonic Colors: Ultimate - Nintendo Switch (Digital) — Staff Favorite Target deal price: $20 digital code; street price: $33

What we like: A visually exciting 3D Sonic game. Unexpectedly delightful and fun to play or watch. Sensory overload but in the best way. Classic story: blue hedgehog fights bald scientist over precious gems while collecting gold rings.

Other things to know: Some revisiting to early levels, but not annoyingly so. Not as linear or direct as 2D Sonic levels but linear-like components. Digital code for the Nintendo Switch.

Target is offering standout sales on Apple gear. Though the price drops on some of Apple's newly released devices are relatively small, these are the lowest prices we’ve seen.

Apple iPad (9th Generation, Wi-Fi, 64 GB) — Top Pick Target deal price: $270 (Price reflects in cart, RedCard holders save an extra 5%); street price: $310

What we like: Great balance of price and performance. Supports Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard pairing. Solid build quality and long battery life. Powerful enough to be a laptop replacement.

Other things to know: Previous gen model, but still fast enough for all but the most demanding tasks. Lacks 120 Hz refresh rate screen. Lightning cable charging. Thicker and heavier than the Pro and Air.
