This morning’s announcement that Nintendo is delaying US preorders for the Switch 2immediately increased the salience of President Trump’s proposed wide-reaching import tariffs for millions of American Nintendo fans. Additionally, the Entertainment Software Association—a lobbying group that represents the game industry’s interests in Washington—is warning that the effects of Trump’s tariffs on the gaming world won’t stop with Nintendo.

”There are so many devices we play video games on,” ESA senior vice president Aubrey Quinn said in an interview with IGN just as Nintendo’s preorder delay news broke. ”There are other consoles… VR headsets, our smartphones, people who love PC games; if we think it’s just the Switch, then we aren’t taking it seriously.

It’s difficult to underestimate the massive influence that Disney’s 1982 cult science fiction film, TRON, had on both the film industry—thanks to combining live action with what were then groundbreaking visual effects, rife with computer-generated imagery—and on nerd culture at large.  Over the ensuing decades there has been one sequel, an animated TV series, a comic book miniseries, video games, and theme park attractions, all modeled on director Steve Lisberg’s original fictional world.

Now we’re getting a third installment in the film franchise: TRON: Ares, directed by Joachim Rønning (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil), that serves as a standalone sequel to 2010’s TRON: Legacy. Disney just released the first trailer and poster art, and while the footage is short on plot, it’s got the show-stopping visuals we’ve come to expect from all things TRON.

When Nintendo unveiled the Switch 2, it was vague about the chip powering the device, only mentioning that it was a custom design from Nvidia. No technical specifications were provided – just general information like support for up to 120fps on-device, 4K at 60fps, VRR, and similar features. Fortunately, Nvidia has since shed a bit more light on the subject.

Nvidia recently posted a blog highlighting features of the hardware poweringthe Switch 2, going beyond what Nintendo initially shared. Among these features is support for ray tracing.

President Donald Trump has for a second time extended the deadline that would have required TikTok to be sold or face a ban in the US.

A bipartisan law passed by Congress last year mandates TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sell the app.

The platform ’went dark’ for a day in January in the US after the law took effect, until Trump intervened and delayed the ban until 5 April. He has now granted a another 75-day extension until June broker a deal.

The US government has said TikTok poses a threat to national security because Chinese authorities might access its vast trove of user data, which Beijing denies.
