We all love Mario and Zelda, but Nintendo has such a rich and vast history of franchises that deserve to shine. A few dormant series were revived towards the end of the original Switch’s lifespan – but a cynic might say unexpected remaster Another Code: Recollection and new Famicom Detective Club entry Emio: The Smiling Man were scraping the barrel while we waited for Switch 2 arrive. On the other hand, it showed just how diverse Nintendo’s first-party library really is. The first Switch’s huge install base helped many of these niches reach a wider audience than ever, and there…
Music festival season might now be in full swing, but not everyone fancies muddy fields and moshing crowds. Govee’s second-gen smart light/speaker combo blends stadium-strength sound with the light show to match – just on a scale small enough to squeeze into your bedside table. The Table Lamp 2 Pro x Sound by JBL ($180) was first revealed at January’s CES show, and is finally going on sale later this month. I’ve had the sleek-looking lamp illuminating my office for the last week. It’s a tech world team-up, with JBL supplying a punchy 2.5in full-range driver (plus the EQ tuning…
In my house there’s usually quite a lot of food on the go, but until I tested the Char-Broil Smart-E, BBQs at home were limited to a couple per year. That’s not because my family doesn’t enjoy them, quite the opposite, more that we’re always on the go and by the time we get back to base it’s usually too late to start messing about with briquettes…We (were) much more likely to use a BBQ on the beach or at a campsite than have one at home. It took about an hour and a half to put the Char-Broil Smart-E…

To test the best handheld gaming console contenders, we use them in every situation we think you will. That meant long sessions on the sofa, dealing with our backlogs in bed, killing time during flights and even booting up a game in…
How does a person come to found a huge tech company? Well, according to Gtech founder and CEO Nick Grey, it’s about your drive and creativity, rather than toeing the line at school. Read on to find out more… I am one of seven, so it’s a very big family. There were loads of things around – the garage always had interesting-looking stuff that hadn’t been touched for years, so I used to fix things and muck about. Mostly it went alright; some things I couldn’t fix, but generally I would find a use for things that took my interest.…
Most of us are digital hoarders. Even though search engines can find any information, I allowed my bookmarks to pile up—and chaos followed in its wake. I finally experimented with ChatGPT to bring order to my messy bookmarks and build a system that saves time and hassle. Why I Need a Clear Bookmark Management System A few years ago, I barely noticed the slow creep of digital clutter. I’d bookmark anything interesting “just in case,” and soon my browser was a jungle of unread articles, forgotten tools, and half-finished projects. The more I saved, the harder it became to retrieve…
The Nintendo Switch was the first console I embraced going digital with my games. There’s something alluring about having your entire library installed and ready to play at any time. Sadly, that kind of luxury isn’t really an option on my Switch 2. Nintendo’s new console might have a seemingly generous 256GB of internal storage (more like around 230GB after accounting for system files), compared to the paltry 32GB of its predecessor and 64GB of the Switch OLED – but I used all of it up testing just a fraction of the Switch 2’s launch line-up. Simply put, Switch 2…
Summer’s here, and the latest wave of watch releases is making a serious splash. Whether you’re heading for the coast, lounging poolside, or just want something that looks the part with short sleeves and a tan, these are some of the best watches to bring the heat in all the right ways. Tudor kicks things off with a new take on the Black Bay 54, now dressed in a crisp “Lagoon Blue” that feels tailor-made for holiday escapes. Breitling follows with a fresh update to its Superocean Heritage line — sleeker, sharper, and effortlessly surf-ready. And Blancpain brings the Fifty…
There’s going to be a Trump phone. Of course there is. I’d have written about this sooner, but I was stunned into silence for a full day by the news. Because even accounting for *waves hands around* everything, this new device is mind-boggling. And not in a good way. Trump offspring ‘three from five’ said Trump Mobile will “revolutionise cell phones”. So far that amounts to a bad Photoshop job and year-old Android specs. Then there’s the name: T1 Phone 8002, which makes me wonder whether the Trump family angrily tore up 8001 previous concepts for not being gold enough. It’s…
If you’d told me that I’d be praising a yoga mat, I’d have probably laughed. But here we are, and this new YogiFi Gen 3 smart yoga mat is a genuinely clever bit of workout kit for your home. And it’s almost certainly the best yoga mat that’s ever existed. This mat doesn’t just sit there like a passive rectangle waiting for your downward dog. It’s packed with high-precision sensors that track posture and offer real-time feedback on your form, balance, and alignment. Which, let’s face it, is a godsend if your idea of yoga also involves lots of flailing.…
