I spent the whole day yesterday playing the Nintendo Switch 2. Here are my thoughts so far on basically everything I could check out: www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/...

From Mario and Zelda, to more crucial info on the console, here's everything Nintendo missed out of its Direct presentation.

We tried the Minecraft-themed McNuggets sauce. It might just be the hottest sauce Mickey D's has ever offered.

Nintendo Direct let’s go

Some Nintendo Switch games, like Breath of the Wild, are getting upgraded versions for the new console dubbed Nintendo Switch 2 Editions.

The successor to the eight-year-old Nintendo Switch is right around the corner. The Nintendo Switch 2 arrives on June 5.

Mario Kart World has players racing in an open world, a first for the series. The game lets players race in huge areas and big races featuring 24 racers.

"In other words, tech companies like Google and OpenAI don't want to go through the established legal process and pay for the rights to the content they need to make their AIs competitive with those being developed by China." www.cnet.com/tech/service...

We tested the Muse S Athena, a $475 brain-training headband that combines EEG and functional near-infrared spectroscopy to measure brain activity and oxygen levels to give you real-time feedback.

Nintendo’s finally loosening up digital game sharing with Virtual Game Cards - here’s how it works (and it’ll work on Switch 2 as well) www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/...

My beloved Tar Heels are already out of the running for March Madness, but I am kinda obsessed with this story: www.cnet.com/tech/service...

Virtual Game Cards are coming as announced from #NintendoDirect, and they'll work across systems and family accounts, and on both the Switch and Switch 2. Here's what we know so far.

It's not an item you can purchase, but the hardware seen in Apple TV Plus' Severence is featured in the Mac Store, presumably for mysterious and important computer work.

OpenAI just announced native image generation in ChatGPT -- and you need to see how clear the text is in these images. www.cnet.com/tech/service...
