The Switch 2 Proves Nintendo Never Misses On Music
Nintendo is a lot of things to a lot of people for a lot of different reasons. Mario helps, and so do the host of other iconic first-party titles and the movies, toys, theme parks, and endless other IP offshoots they spawned. But beyond how Nintendo looks and plays and sells, it also has a […]

That slice-of-life trailer cements just how little we know about Rockstar’s ultra-hyped open world. The big question […]
Nintendo Files Lawsuit Against Switch 2 Leaker Genki
While Nintendo tried to contain leaks of its Switch 2 before launch, rumormongers ruled the scene with a variety of mostly accurate descriptions and dummy units.

The Best Gadgets of April 2025
April showers bring May flowers, but in the tech world, things are looking pretty dour. Trump tariffs have upset supply chains and left tech companies—both big and small—reeling. We’ve seen products like the Razer Blade 16 gaming laptop disappear from the company’s website, only to reappear later this month. Companies are also taking this opportunity […]
