Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, the next game in Nintendo’s tactical RPG series, was revealed last September, but we haven’t seen any official updates until today. A brand new trailer during Nintendo’s big summer Direct showed off more units, detailed the game’s structure, and a release date. Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave will launch September 17 on Switch 2. This new trailer gives us a refresher on the game’s world. It follows a series of warriors as they compete in the Heroic Games, a combat tournament held in a Roman-inspired coliseum, though it seems each competitor has unique motivations to win. Cai (who…

Safari has never been the browser people pick for a massive add-on library. Chrome has long been the obvious choice for that, while Apple’s browser has leaned harder on speed, battery life, privacy, and tight integration across its own devices. Now Apple is trying a different fix. Announced at Apple WWDC, Safari will let users describe the extension they want and have Apple Intelligence create it. That turns Safari AI extensions into personal web tweaks instead of another thing to search for, install, and hope someone maintains. The custom extension builder arrives alongside smarter tab grouping, page monitoring through Notify…

I have always treated desk lighting like an afterthought. Up until recently, I was completely unaware of how big a difference a proper lighting setup makes. If the room was too dark, I turned on a lamp. Working in a dimly lit room? Just turn down the brightness. And after my eyes got tired after hours of writing, gaming, or editing, the easy blame went to the screen I was staring at. Then I visited BenQ’s lighting lab in Taiwan (during Computex 2026) and my entire desk setup started looking suspiciously lazy. The funny thing is that monitor light bars…

Nintendo has revealed Xenoblade Genesis, a brand new game in the Xenoblade Chronicles series. Announced during today’s Nintendo Direct, Genesis is described as a “new beginning” for the series and will launch exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 sometime in 2027. In the trailer, we learned that the elements of Genesis’ world give shape to a special power known as Anima, and that when battles were waged, they were decided by Anima and the Vesselai, powerful warriors who can wield it. The trailer also reveals that Anima Crystone not only amplifies Vesselai’s powers but also records their lives within it. The Crystone…

A humanoid robot named Pemba has reached the summit of Ecuador’s Chimborazo volcano, a 20,341-foot peak that gives the whole robots-are-coming line a much colder backdrop. The climb is impressive, but the fine print is doing some heavy lifting too. Pemba, a modified Unitree G1, completed the 16-hour summit push with help from the team behind it. The robot walked on its own during easier sections, while people carried it through steeper, more technical terrain. That makes the achievement less like a robot conquest of the Andes and more like a serious field test with a dramatic finish. Pemba still…

If you’ve been curious how Star Fox feels on Switch 2 ahead of release, you’re in luck. Nintendo announced today that a demo will be available for the game later today (at the time of publication). The demo will include a tutorial and one of the opening stages, which implies that will not be the Corneria level.Star Fox releases June 25 for Switch 2. For our own hands-on impresions of Star Fox, head here.

I have always been fully on board with the “games as an art form” argument and how esports in many ways is similar to actual sports. From the intense training regime, physical routines, to strict diets, there’s a whole team working on keeping pro players performing at their peak. And after visiting BenQ’s lab in Taiwan, I saw the real science taking place behind the scenes. If you play competitive games, a lot of this sounds pretty obvious. Titles like Counter-Strike, Valorant, Apex Legends, and other esports are not casual screen time at the highest level. They are built on…

Nintendo Switch Sports Resort was just announced during Nintendo’s big summer Direct, and it looks like the exact revival of the Wii Sports era I’ve been waiting for. Switch sports dropped o the original Switch a few years ago, but it had so few games that it felt underbaked; Nintendo Switch Sports Resort revealed 12 events right out the gate, including the return of the plane you can use to explore Wuhu Island, and that’s exactly what I was hoping for.Even better, the game was revealed alongside a release date: October 22. Check out some screens below to get an…

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with SKG. If you’ve ever bought a gift that ended up in a drawer by July, this is the one that breaks the pattern. The SKG PS700 neck massager is $199.99, and unlike most novelty gadgets in the gifting aisle, it’s built to be used daily. At that price and that feature set, this is the kind of gift that changes how someone’s evenings feel, and the 360-degree bionic kneading underneath delivers the deep-tissue relief that the buzzing, vibrate-only neck devices in this price range simply can’t match. What you’re getting…
