The best deals of the week in handheld and mobile - March 6
We all like cheap games
If you've bought into Nintendo's new Switch console recently, you probably don't have much spare cash for new games. In fact, that's probably the case even if you didn't buy the Switch. Times are tough!
Lucky for you we run a weekly feature whereby we bring you a list of the best deals on iOS and Android games, smartphones, handheld games, and any other bargains that stand out related to gaming on the go.
If you've found any top deals that you think should be featured gere, please do let us know in the comments below.

We have an interesting smartphone deal for you this week. Amazon is getting an exclusive model of the newly announced Moto G5 (the first in the range with a metal design) with more RAM and two SIM card slots for only £10 more than the normal model.
Elsewhere, one of the cheapest 'brand new' iPhones you'll find. The iPhone 5S is quite old now, but it stands up remarkably well today, with a capable 64-bit CPU, a fingerprint sensor and a decent camera.

We generally leave the accessories to our big accessory hub updates, but this seems like a timely deal for all you new Nintendo Switch owners. It's the officially endorsed carry case for around £5 to £10 less than normal.
Sticking with Switch, we have an attractive pre-order price for a revised version of one of the Wii U's better third party games.
