Think of what $139 will buy you in a tech or electronics store, and usually you go to the little stuff — go elbows-deep in that bargain DVD bin, or grab a (small) portable hard drive, or maybe a printer — but the ink refills will catch up to you soon enough. But right now at Best Buy, $139 will get you a new 14-inch HP Chromebook which normally sells for $329. Don’t worry, it’s not a refurbished or scratch-and-dent floor model from some obscure brand you’ve never heard of — this is a brand-new

When tried out Mario Kart World at April's Switch 2 premiere hands-on event, the short demos focused on more-or-less standard races in the game's Grand Prix and Knockout modes. So when Nintendo invited us back for more time previewing the near-final version of the game before the Switch 2's release, we decided to focus most of our time on the game's mysterious (and previously teased) "Free Roam" mode. We're glad we did, because the mode feels like the hidden gem of Mario Kart World and maybe of

Eight years ago, just before the release of the Nintendo Switch, we provided an in-depth review of the hardware thanks to early production units provided by Nintendo. This year, Nintendo has opted not to provide such unrestricted early press access to the Switch 2 hardware, citing a "day-one update" to the system software and some launch games that would supposedly make pre-release evaluation more difficult. As such, we won't be able to provide our full thoughts on the Switch 2 until well after

When working on the first Mario Kart game for Switch 2, Nintendo decided against sticking to numbered sequels, opting instead to call what would have been the series’ ninth entry Mario Kart World. It signaled the team’s ambition to try a more modern approach to the popular franchise. Mario Kart World is the Switch 2’s most high-profile launch title, and it’s the series’ newest game in roughly a decade.

From the very beginning, the goal for Mario Kart World was ambitious. A follow-up to the Switch’s (and Wii U’s) best-selling game, one that steadily grew over the years, World’s original concept focused on two key changes: doubling the amount of racers, and creating a connected, open world for players to explore. It was so big that, early on in development for the original Switch, the team was having a hard time making it work on the hardware, and eventually it shifted to become the main launch
