Nintendo has released its latest financial report for Fiscal Year 2026, revealing that it has sold through nearly 20 million Switch 2 units. Despite what Nintendo calls a launch year where “sales reached a level we had not experienced with any of our previous hardware systems” (due to high interest in the Switch console), it expects a decline in year-over-year sales for Fiscal Year 2027, which ends in March of next year. Officially, 19.86 million Switch 2 units have been sold in the console’s first fiscal year, but for its second fiscal year, Nintendo is forecasting 16.5 million units sold. “For…
After years of sitting on its hands, Google appears to have remembered it owns one of the best photo editing apps on mobile. Snapseed 4.0 is now rolling out to Android, bringing the platform up to speed after a stretch of iOS exclusivity that left Android users watching from the sidelines. The story starts last June, when Google quietly broke Snapseed out of its long dormancy with a significant 3.0 update for iPhone. It was a surprise move that suggested the company was serious about the app again. Google then confirmed at the start of this year that Android wouldn’t…
When you think of Nintendo, you likely think of Shigeru Miyamoto. And rightfully so. Miyamoto is widely credited for the creation of such properties as Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and other beloved franchises. In fact, if you asked even the most clued-in gamers to name a Nintendo developer, names like Eiji Aonuma, Yoshiaki Koizumi, Masahiro Sakurai, and the late Gunpei Yokoi likely come to mind for many before Takashi Tezuka. While they are all deserved legends in their own rights, Takashi Tezuka has been perhaps as, if not more, consequential to the history of Nintendo (and, as…
This post is brought to you in paid partnership with QuickBooks. Centralized financial management uses one system to manage business finances. Small businesses manage finances and accounting in one place with a single platform. The platform tracks income, expenses, invoices, and reports together. This approach replaces disconnected tools that store financial data separately and require manual updates between systems. Many small businesses rely on different tools for invoicing, expense tracking, and reporting. That separation creates duplicate work, inconsistent records, and delays in reviewing performance. Teams spend time reconciling data instead of analyzing results. Bringing financial management into one place improves…

If you are a book purist, you might scoff when I recommend an e-reader instead of buying physical books, and I won’t blame you. The allure of the smell of pages, the weight of the book in my hands, the whole ritual, is hard to resist. However, if you allow me some leeway to convince you, there’s a strong argument to be made against physical books and in favor of using e-readers. So let me make the case for e-readers, because once you understand what you’ve been missing, it’s hard to go back. Your entire library fits in your bag…
Developer IO Interactive has released the PC specs and requirements for its upcoming James Bond game, 007 First Light, which launches on May 27. As you might expect, in order to play the game at the highest resolution and frame rate, you’re going to need a beefy PC, but the minimum required specs don’t ask for too much power. Alongside the PC specs, which will be detailed below, IO Interactive has highlighted exclusive PC features like uncapped framerate, Nvidia DLSS 4.5 dynamic multi-frame generation and super resolution, path tracing, and DLSS Ray Reconstruction (though this isn’t coming until sometime this Summer), and additional…
Holograms on your iPhone sound like science fiction. But according to a fresh leak, Apple may actually be working on it. A leaker on X known as “Schrödinger” claims Apple is developing a “Spatial iPhone” with a holographic display, reportedly being built by Samsung. The display is codenamed “MH1” (Mobile Holographic 1), and the details being floated are quite wild. You should take all of this with appropriate skepticism, though, as none of it is officially confirmed. Samsung is reportedly moving its 3D Plate tech to mobile with the MH1 (H1) display. Forget 2D we’re talking glasses-free holographic depth &…

For Mac users, there’s an unspoken frustration that isn’t talked about enough, and I have experienced it firsthand. You invest in a MacBook for its Apple Silicon power, sleek design, and the undeniable “cool” mobility that lets you work from a couch or a tiny cafe. But sooner or later, you are caught up in a dongle mess. The MacBook Pro has never been more powerful, but one cable is all it takes to turn it into a full desktop workstation. Thunderbolt 5 docks have matured significantly in 2026, and the best ones now support multiple 6K displays, blazing SSD…
