Decide how you want your Switch to look. It might be incredibly late in the Switch's life to be doing this, but Nintendo will allow fans who visit its new store in San Francisco to fully customise the colour of their brand-new Switch OLED.

The UK government doesn't seem to want to give people credit for their work in the name of progress. How good is the British museum, btw?

"Bring a piece of Nintendo San Francisco home with you". Nintendo is opening its new San Francisco store in the US this week on 15th May and if you do plan on taking the trip there, you'll able to pick up one of five minature "sculpture replicas" based on the same statues in Nintendo's stores.

I want these beautiful notes of springtime all over my head and face while I brutally rip through demons, while also having the best quality audio piped into my ears wirelessly.

Today's Wordle: Help with the daily puzzle.

Swansong. Ahead of the arrival of Mario Kart World next month, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has received a new update bumping it up to Version 3.0.4. It includes multiple "general" fixes. Here are the full patch notes, courtesy of the official Nintendo support page:

While the iPhone 17 Pro models are still around four months away, there are already rumors about next year's iPhone 18 Pro models. The latest word comes from Counterpoint Research vice president Ross Young, who has a good track record with display-related information for future Apple products. In a social media post today, he relayed more information that suggests the iPhone 18 Pro models will be equipped with an under-screen Face ID system. "At the SID Business Conference today, OTI Lumionics C...

The new “Prompt to Add Personal Account to OneDrive Sync,” allows transfer between personal and work drives.

Now you're playing with super power. It's been over a year now since our last proper update about the Mario Movie, but it seems we might finally have some new information to share (even if it is quite small).

Success changes everything. The RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 by French studio Sandfall Interactive is already the surprise hit of 2025 and it's of course led to many questions about a possible port to the Switch 2. So, will something like this happen in the future? Speaking to the YouTube channel 'mistermv' recently, Sandfall's CEO Guillaume Broche apparently explained how the success of the game had "kind of" changed everything and while it's still too early to say, there are now a lot more ...

Google today previewed the [next-generation version of Android](https://blog.go​ogle/products/android/ma​terial-3-expressive-andr​oid-wearos-launch/), which has an updated design language that's more expressive, and a range of new features. One of the main new additions is Live Updates, a feature that mirrors Live Activity on the iPhone. Live Updates lets Android users track progress notifications from apps in real-time, much like Live Activity. Google says that Live Updates will work with top deli...

The Dark Ages feels like it was made for controllers.

It’s update day in League of Legends, and while patch 25.10 is now live and the patch notes are out in the wild, it’s actually news about 25.11 that’s caught my attention. With 25.11 heading to the PBE, Riot has revealed that for the first time in a long while, there will be no new skins on the test server to uncover, and thus no new skins when the update drops later this month. The reason? Riot’s put most of its energy into reworking its underwhelming and controversial Masque of the Black Rose ...

Despite this, Blizzard hasn't announced plans to fix it yet.

Steam announced this week that it will offer a compatibility rating that will designate when a game is supported on the company's operating system. The SteamOS Compatibility assessment is slated to roll out "in the next few weeks." This metric is an extension of the Steam Deck Verified program, and it will award a checkmark to games based on a data subset within that vetting process. In other words, game developers won't have to take any additional steps if they're already completing Steam Deck ...

Over a billion RCS messages are sent on a daily basis in the United States, Google said today. ‌RCS‌, or Rich Communication Services, is a communication protocol that replaced the prior SMS and MMS messaging standards. It was developed by the GSM Association, but Google has been championing it for years. Apple held out on adopting ‌RCS‌ for quite some time, but finally added support with the launch of iOS 18. On devices running ‌iOS 18‌, ‌RCS‌ is the default messaging protocol for texts between ...

Krysten Ritter will reprise her role as Jessica Jones in season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again, Disney announced Tuesday at its upfronts presentations, according to Variety report from the event. The return of Ritter’s version of Jones will come nearly a decade after her most recent on-screen appearance as the character in Netflix’s The Defenders....

I think it's kind of under-appreciated how funny Tetsuya Nomura is. In recent years his social media presence has become quite mysterious, in that he'll just kind of drop some kind of cryptic tease on Twitter and then not explain himself. Despite not having revealed a single drop of information about Kingdom Hearts 4 since its announcement three years ago, Nomura hinted at some deeper lore about the series' paopu fruit in a very nonchalant manner. It's just funny at this point! And he's done it ...

2024 was awash with new survival experiences, and even though I feel it gets overlooked and flies under the radar a lot of the time, Enshrouded emerged as one of the best. Part survival game, part fantasy RPG, it may still technically be in early access, but it’s been putting out some pretty big updates at an impressive pace. Its sixth major update has now landed, and not only does it add some excellent new features and mechanics, but it brings plenty of eerie, horror game-esque vibes.

It's a friendly market for fighting lizards.

Buried in the blog posts and videos that accompanied Google's The Android Show: I/O Edition announcements was a nugget of Nothing news: The Nothing Phone 3 is going to be expensive. In an Android marketing video showcasing the company's phones, Nothing CEO Carl Pei shared that the new phone will cost around £800 when it launches this summer. That new cost is thanks to Nothing's decision to go "all-in" on the new device by including "premium materials, major performance upgrades and software that...

In the early days of President Donald Trump's second administration, federal agencies including the US Department of Agriculture were ordered to remove information about climate change from their websites. Now, the USDA has committed to reinstating the deleted content following a lawsuit on behalf of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York, the National Resources Defense Council and the Environmental Working Group. According to a letter sent yesterday to a district court judge, the...

Ecovacs today announced the launch of its new flagship robot vacuum, the X9 Pro Omni. The robot is able to vacuum and mop floors, and it includes HomeKit integration so it can be controlled using Siri and the Home app. The X9 Pro Omni is a sensor-laden cleaning bot that can vacuum and mop floors throughout the home, while also using AI to navigate obstacles like pets, items on the floor, furniture, and more. The bot is able to map an entire home with its 3D sensors, detecting walls and using a m...

Now's your chance to get the skins and cosmetics from season 0.

Twenty years ago, the name Leeroy Jenkins rang through the halls of Upper Blackrock Spire, and now it echoes through eternity. On May 11, 2005, the famous “Leeroy!!” video was posted to WarcraftMovies, a website dedicated to World of Warcraft machinima. The video came from a guild called Pals for Life. In it, the guild...

Crossovers! Collabs! Whatever you want to call them, love them or hate them, in an age where the biggest companies only seem interested in serving you the same thing over and over again, we're stuck with them. This time around, it's a bit of an odd one, as Palworld is getting a Terraria-themed update sometime this summer. Why Terraria? Genuinely no idea, I suppose they might appeal to a similarish kind of crowd, outside of that I haven't the foggiest.

Oblivion’s best quest teaches us the beauty of making a mess.

A conservation program in Kenya that tech companies like Netflix and Meta rely on for carbon credits is in conflict with local herders, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. The issue led to the program run by The Northern Kenya Rangelands Carbon Project to be put on hold, and could ultimately invalidate credits the organization has already sold. This specific carbon capture program uses grass spread across 4.7 million acres of land communally owned by groups like the Maasai, to tr...

Kia has introduced a wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV) iteration of its first electric van. The PV5 WAV offers several accessibility features, such as a side-entry system so a wheelchair user can board the van from the sidewalk, and a quick-use entry ramp rated for 300kg (661 lbs). It's equipped with a tip-up seat in the third row so other riders can assist a wheelchair passenger from the side. The PV5 WAV also has a wheelchair-specific belt fastening system. The brand collaborated with Motabi...

Earlier this month, PayPal said that it would debut contactless iPhone payments in Germany, and German iPhone users now appear to be able to use the feature. According to German site iPhone Ticker, some PayPal customers in Germany have access to PayPal as an alternative to Apple Pay. PayPal can be used for NFC tap to pay functionality just like ‌Apple Pay‌, with payments initiated in the same way. PayPal users in Germany are able to set PayPal as the default payment app over ‌Apple Pay‌, using t...

YouTube will be streaming an exclusive NFL game in its entirety for free worldwide for the first time ever. After becoming the official home of NFL Sunday Ticket in 2023, YouTube has been pushing to expand its reach in the high-stakes, multibillion-dollar world of NFL coverage and broadcast rights.  The Google-owned streaming company has secured the exclusive rights to broadcast one of the NFL’s opening week games on Friday September 5 live from Brazil. The São Paulo spectacle will take place th...

Planning ahead. With the Nintendo Switch 2 entering development as early as 2019, it might not come as a surprise that the hardware chip may have been finalised as early as 2021. And according to a teardown of a supposed Switch 2 motherboard, that's exactly what it's come down to. Digital Foundry has summarised findings by Geekerwan and Kurnal, who have acquired a Switch 2 motherboard (from an online retailer in China) and performed a complete analysis of the tech. And the pair have suggested th...

FBC: Firebreak is a bit of a departure from Remedy's usual games, given that it's a three-player multiplayer first-person shooter. The shooty bit is nothing new, that's pretty typical of Remedy's games, even if the shooting always has something slightly off about it. It's the multiplayer angle that sets it apart, and, funnily enough, the fact that Remedy don't always make shooting feel all that great, so it's left me curious as to how it actually plays. I'm assuming some of you feel the same way...
