Perfect time to buy Switch games
Nintendo is notorious for keeping its first-party games close to full price even years after launch. So promotions like MAR10 Day are the best opportunities to grab popular Switch titles for less. It also offers a good entry point for newer Switch owners looking to explore Mario’s adventures, from platforming classics and party games to RPGs and puzzle spin-offs.
Just don’t wait too long, since Mario Day promotions are limited-time offers that typically run through mid-March. So after March 15 at 11:59 PM PT, these games will return to their standard pricing.

Razer unveils a fully agentic version of its AI companion AVA
The assistant can run locally on a PC or tap into cloud models for heavier tasks.
Razer is taking its AI ambitions a step further. According to a new report from Variety, the company has unveiled a “fully agentic” version of its AI companion AVA, capable of running both locally on a PC and in the cloud. The reveal came from Quyen Quach, Razer’s VP of Software, who outlined how the assistant is evolving from a gaming-focused helper into a more autonomous digital companion.
Unlike traditional chatbots that simply respond to prompts, the new version of AVA is designed to act more independently, completing tasks and assisting users proactively. Quach described the technology as “fully agentic,” meaning the AI can perform actions, analyze situations, and interact with systems in ways that go beyond simple conversational responses.
An original Xbox emulator just hit Android and it’s already messy
A paid port of the open-source xemu project has arrived, sparking backlash and a promise from the official team.
A paid version of the open-source original Xbox emulator xemu just landed on Android, and the drama followed right behind it. The app, called X1 BOX, is an unofficial port that hit the Play Store without the xemu team’s involvement, and it’s already drawing criticism for charging money for free software.
The xemu team has acknowledged the port and confirmed that a free official Android release is coming. In the meantime, you’ve got options. A free build is available outside Google Play through a GitHub project offering APK releases. That version stems from the same Android port code but carries the same unofficial status. That gives Android users a paid store version and a sideloaded alternative, though neither has the original developers’ approval.
