The surprise sequel launches later this year!

Nintendo took an unusual approach to the past two decades of video game console wars. It stayed out of them. But with today’s Nintendo Switch 2 info dump — packed with big-name third-party games rarely seen on Nintendo hardware — the House that Mario Built appears ready to rejoin the fray. Why now? Credit a...

"You have to take some swings."

"Do it just for the sake of being creative."

Mario Kart! Elden Ring! Donkey Kong?! Well, we've gone from knowing next-to-no information to knowing a boatload of information in roughly one hour. Nintendo has fully lifted the lid on its upcoming hardware in the Switch 2 Direct and it was a packed one. Below, you will find the full April 2025 Nintendo Switch 2 Direct video, followed by a breakdown of every announcement, game reveal and trailer. There's a lot to get through, so let's dive in...

I hope no one set any explosive boobytraps up.

We knew there was a new Mario Kart coming to Switch 2, but we didn’t expect it to cost this much. After showing off the open-world racing game Mario Kart World on Wednesday during its Switch 2 Nintendo Direct showcase, Nintendo revealed that the game will have a $79.99 price tag. That’s new territory for...

An interconnected world with free roam comes to the series for the first time!

With A Minecraft Movie, Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre director Jared Hess and his writing team had the unenviable task of finding a consistent story in the world’s most popular video game. Minecraft is enjoyed by everyone from small children building their first basic cubic structures to grown adults who have mastered the game’s mechanics​....

Everything's worth it just to see chicken jockey.

Hear me out. I too rolled my eyes when A Minecraft Movie was announced. We're all tired of seeing Jack Black in video game movies — he was fine in Super Mario Bros., but good god Borderlands was a disaster. And the Minecraft film's trailers did it no favors, another soulless movie produced on a virtual set about a game that's completely open-ended and plotless. But it turns out A Minecraft Movie is actually good. Honestly, I'm as surprised as you are. A Minecraft Movie isn't exactly groundbreaki...

Path of Exile 2 patch 0.2.0, officially titled “Dawn of the Hunt” and the first major content update to the early access game, is releasing this week. The headline is the Huntress class, new Ascendancy classes, a ton of endgame content, and much more. Here’s when Path of Exile 2 “Dawn of the Hunt” is...

The Star Wars Tales anthology series is back for another installment, this time focusing on the criminal underworld of a galaxy far far away. On Wednesday, Disney released the first trailer for the six-episode season, titled Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld. While the trailer is light on specific plot beats, we do know that...

Following its big Switch 2 presentation, Nintendo revealed in an interview with the team behind the console that one of the (arguably better) names the company was considering before it landed on Switch 2 was "Super Nintendo Switch." "There were a lot of ideas for the name, and we really struggled to find the right one," Kouichi Kawamato, the producer on the Switch 2, says. "We even considered ideas like 'Super Nintendo Switch.'" The issue with the name was that even though drawing a parallel to...

The Nintendo Switch 2 is launching on June 5, though pre-orders are going live on Wednesday, April 9. While I wish to exist in a world where you could easily click “buy” and be guaranteed a console come launch day, it’s not so simple in reality. Hundreds of thousands of people, if not more, are...

After a couple of duds, Humble Bundle actually have a properly good deal here with Humble Choice for April 2025 having a really nice selection of games.

You can finally introduce the cast of Baldur’s Gate 3 to your next tabletop campaign with WizKids’ new collection of miniatures, including box sets and blind boxes. As part of its Icons of the Realms lineup, the $49.99 character boxed set includes seven pre-painted minis of Astarion, Karlach, Gale, Shadowheart, Wyll, Lae’zel, and Withers. If...

The entry-level laptop from modular computing company Framework, which we first saw in February, is almost ready to roll. Founder and CEO Nirav Patel said on Wednesday that you can reserve the Framework Laptop 12 on April 9 at 11AM ET. The Framework Laptop 12 is a colorful 12.2-inch notebook with a 360-degree hinge that lets you fold it back into a (chunky) tablet. This zillionth iteration of that form factor stands out because of Framework's ethos of modular repairability. If you decide it's ti...

UNDERTALE fans are pretty excited about this one! DELTARUNE from tobyfox is finally coming to Steam with chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4 on June 5th.

“The Tournament” is a tricky Assassin’s Creed Shadows quest that is ostensibly straightforward but doesn’t appear in your map through obvious means. In this Assassin’s Creed Shadows guide, we’ll tell you how we got “The Tournament” quest to appear in our own game, tell you where to find the titular tournament once you’ve spoken to...

It's not the same base decay system found in Funcom's other sandy survival game, Conan Exiles.

The console boasts improved performance, a bigger screen, and much more!

Now that everything's sorted, work on the mod that brings Baldur's Gate 3 to Stardew Valley will resume.

It’s almost time for Verdansk’s return in Warzone, and the Call of Duty nostalgia machine is working overtime to try and recreate the glory days of 2020. Alongside the return of fan-favorite weapons and some big gameplay overhauls, one of the most popular (and infuriating) operators from the early Verdansk era is back. Yep, a recreation of the original Warzone Roze skin is now available with the beginning of Black Ops 6 Season 3 - however, it’ll cost you 30 bucks as part of the uber-premium Blac...

Amid all the excitement of Switch 2's big news bonanza, Nintendo has quietly confirmed some physical releases on the console won't have any game data on the included game card.

What is the best Warzone AMAX loadout? One of the classic Warzone weapons returning alongside Verdansk is the AMAX, a hard-hitting assault rifle capable of downing players in a handful of shots. The only downside is that the recoil can get a tad unruly without the correct attachments, however, we have built the best Warzone AMAX loadout so you can beam your enemies with ease. With Warzone Season 3 in full flow and Verdansk back on the menu, returning players are settling back into this battle ro...

Amazon has reportedly joined the growing list of suitors angling to acquire TikTok as a new ban deadline approaches. According to The New York Times, the retailer has made a “last-minute bid” to buy the app, and has approached Vice President JD Vance and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick about the offer. It’s not clear why Amazon is making an offer this late in the process. TikTok is currently facing an April 5 deadline to strike a deal, though President Donald Trump has said he would likely ext...

Nintendo just dropped a boatload of Switch 2 news, including the release date, price and a launch title or two. It also announced a bevy of accessories that’ll be available for the console on June 5. Let’s go over the most notable of these doodads. For my money, the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera is the highlight here. This was featured heavily in the company’s livestream, as the Switch 2 will allow for in-game video chat. This is thanks to the magical “C” button on the right Joy-Con controller. The c...

The Nintendo Switch 2 will cost $449.99, and will be available to pre-order April 9. The closest thing to a discount on it comes from GameStop, which is offering slightly boosted trade-in value for your old Switch starting the day that pre-orders begin. You’ll only get the following trade-in credit if you’re reserving a Switch...

It's so pretty. Nintendo has officially announced the Switch 2, bringing an end to literal years of rumours and speculation. Naturally, the games are the true star of the show, but the hardware itself is a slight to behold. Nintendo has unveiled the console, an accompanying Pro Controller, a camera, and more. Here, you can take a peek at the Switch 2 and its accessories in all their glory. Be sure to let us know with a comment what you’ll be picking up to go along with your console when it launc...

According to a recent Digital Education Council survey, as many as 86 percent of university students globally use artificial intelligence to assist with their coursework. It’s a staggering statistic that’s likely to have far-reaching consequences for years to come. So it’s not surprising to see a company like Anthropic announce Claude for Education, an initiative it says will equip universities to "play a key role in actively shaping AI's role in society." At the heart of Claude for Education is...

Pre-orders open 8th/9th April. Following on from the Direct showcase, Nintendo has announced that Switch 2 pre-orders will go live on the 8th April in the UK and Europe, and 9th April in the US and Canafa. According to one "large US retailer" (and anyone with an ounce of common sense), pre-orders are expected to sell out fast, so if you're hoping to get a Switch 2 on launch day, you'll want to slam down your money sharpish.

It's almost time to pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2, now that we finally know how much it'll cost, when it comes out, some of the games it's getting, and the fact that you can use the new Joy-Con as a mouse, even on top of your pants. The Nintendo Switch 2 costs $450, it comes out on June 5, and pre-orders are set to go live on Wednesday, April 9. If you're pre-ordering from a third-party retailer, your best bet is to make an extra cup of coffee that morning and get your clicking fingers ready —...

January’s Nintendo Switch 2 reveal event took the wraps off the console, but left a lot of details unanswered, until today. After the initial reveal, I put together an analysis of the possible pricing for the console, using Nintendo’s own historical pricing strategies to guide my thinking. My conclusion then was that it would cost...
