It was revealed today that the Nintendo Switch 2 will launch alongside a paid app which teaches you all about the new console.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour launches on the same day as the console—June 5th—and teaches you the ins and outs of the system.

It will highlight various technical features, for example, as well as spotlight various ”secrets” about Switch 2.

Users will be able to familiarize themselves with the new mouse controls via various mini-games, one of which is based on mini-golf. HD rumble functionality will also be showcased.

It’s certainly a neat idea for an app, especially if you want to learn about what Switch 2 is capable of—but actually charging money for it seems a little off, if you ask us—but oh-so-typically Nintendo.

Some significant changes are coming to Thunderbird.

One of these additions will be the Thundermail email service.

In 2023, Mozilla developers announced they were ”remaking” Thunderbird’ssoftware architecture, aiming to modernize its crumbling and unsustainable codebase. The company later confirmed plans to add new paid professional features available to all Thunderbird users.

Latest Apple Invites update coincides with iOS 18.4’s launch

Apple Invites has received a couple of minor bug fix updates since its launch in early February.

Unfortunately, the release notes don’t stir much excitement:

This update contains stability and performance enhancements.

Those are the exact words Apple used for its last two Invites app updates.

Nintendo won’t let you escape two of its most critically-acclaimed games ever. It’s announced there will be Switch 2 versions of both Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Both titles will benefit from the next-gen console’s increased power, with enhanced framerates and resolution during play, as well as HDR support for deeper colors and contrast. Nintendo wasn’t specific on the difference between handheld and TV play just yet, but we know the new console will feature several resolutions for play, from 1080p through to 4K.

Visa wants to pay Apple approximately $100 million to be the new payment network for the Apple Card, reports The Wall Street Journal. As of right now, the ‌Apple Card‌ is on the Mastercard payment network, but that is set to change because Apple is ending its partnership with Goldman Sachs.

Both American Express and Visa are vying to replace Mastercard as Apple’s card services provider, while Mastercard is aiming to retain its position. Apple apparently plans to choose a new ‌Apple Card‌ network before it selects a partner to replace Goldman Sachs as the ‌Apple Card‌’s issuing bank, and competition is intense. Visa is offering Apple a $100 million upfront payment, while American Express is ”in the mix” and Mastercard is ”fiercely trying” to retain its role.

Nintendo announced that it will add playable Nintendo GameCube games to the library of titles playable on the Switch 2.
