For most of my life, a common refrain about Nintendo has been that the company just doesn't really get the internet. It's been hard to argue against that, really; even on Nintendo Switch 2, you have to exchange arcane friend codes with people to add them to your friends list.

When Nintendo announced that it was going all in on communal voice chat and other social features back in April, it was both easy and perfectly reasonable to scoff at it. GameChat, the catch-all term for the Switch 2's voice chat service, just looked like something that the other consoles have been able to do for nearly 20 years. Besides a couple of superfluous features tacked onto it (and a concerning reliance on open microphones rather than headsets), I was prepared to be underwhelmed.

I came away fairly impressed by a very limited GameChat demo before launch, but after putting it through its paces in a live fire situation, I kinda can't believe how good it is. Nintendo has not only made a (mostly) functional voice chat app, but it is actually more fun to use than the equivalent services on PlayStation and Xbox.

Let me explain.

SEE ALSO: My day one Nintendo Switch 2 review: It's here, and it's awesome GameChat on Switch 2 is way better than it has any right to be

First, a quick refresh: GameChat is an app that Switch 2 users can activate at any time using the new "C" button on whatever Switch 2 controller they happen to be using. Up to 12 people can participate in a voice chat room, while up to four people at a time can stream footage of their gameplay to everyone else or participate in video calls using a USB camera. By default, Nintendo expects people to use the microphone on the Switch console itself and listen to their friends via their TV speakers, but headsets are also supported.

Got it? OK, cool, let's move on.

The noise suppression is great This is what GameChat looks like when everyone is streaming their feeds to each other. Credit: Nintendo

I tried GameChat out for close to two hours with a friend of mine on the Switch 2's launch day. We bounced between a few different games, namely Mario Kart World, Fast Fusion, and Soul Calibur II for GameCube. In almost every instance, it not only worked as intended, but it actually offered a unique, Nintendo-flavored take on party chat.

My biggest concern going into all of this was that the intended chat mechanism of shouting into a microphone that could be several feet away from you depending on your entertainment setup simply wouldn't work. The audio quality would be rough, unwanted outside noises would bleed in, and so on. I'm very pleased to report that this isn't the case. While the mic on the Switch 2 isn't the best in the world, it's more than usable for video game voice chat. But perhaps most impressively, absolutely zero outside noise bled into the feed whatsoever.

On the other end, my friend was outputting audio of both my voice and the games through their TV speakers. I never heard a second of it. On my end, a not-particularly-quiet window air conditioner unit was blasting cool air into my room about six feet away from the Switch 2. My friend claims they never heard it over more than an hour of gameplay. Whatever noise suppression tech Nintendo packed into the Switch 2 must be top-of-the-line stuff, man.

I should also reiterate that you can simply plug a headset into the Pro Controller's headphone jack and chat that way, too. Weirdly, the third-party wired headset I use wouldn't let me input audio through its microphone, but audio would output to the headphones just fine. The Switch 2's onboard mic was luckily there to pick up my voice, and my friend said it sounded fine anyway. I'm going to chalk that up to my particular headset being wonky. Funnily enough, the official wireless PS5 Pulse Elite headset is natively recognized by the Switch 2 and works flawlessly, mic and all.

Speech-to-text is a revelation

GameChat is partially defined by the fact that, by default, it reduces your game's share of the screen in order to put a horizontal row of little windows representing each voice chatter along the bottom of the display. Folks can stream their gameplay to other users through these little windows, and that admittedly looks very choppy. It's actually pretty nice for quickly glancing to see what your friend is up to in Mario Kart, but you wouldn't want to stare at one of those streaming feeds for too long.

However, a less publicized feature that also optionally takes up screen space deserves more shine: the Switch 2's live speech-to-text transcription. This accessibility-minded feature is, I kid you not, maybe the most impressive thing I've seen on Switch 2 so far. The text window sits on the right side of the screen in a way that's shockingly unintrusive. We had it on for more than an hour and, in that time, the only mistakes it made in transcribing our speech were minimal. It's fast and incredibly accurate for what it is, and it labels individual speakers in the text window.

Most unexpected is the fact that it doesn't censor curse words at all. They're written out in all their glory, ensuring those with hearing problems aren't treated like children. Amusingly, whatever dictionary Nintendo fed to this feature includes a ton of properly capitalized brand names, even for those from competing game companies. It properly capitalized "The Last of Us," for example. "Sega Dreamcast" was in there, too. We may or may not have spent like an hour just shouting out proper nouns in the hopes that the Switch 2 would recognize them, which it mostly did.

Sidenote: I'm sorry I can't provide visual proof of all of this. GameChat doesn't allow you to take screenshots.

Real quick, I'd like to shout out GameShare, a new feature that allows users to digitally "share" a game they own with someone else on a temporary basis so they can play it together. It's up to individual games to support this, you can't do it with anything you want. I tried it with Fast Fusion, a $15 arcade racer that otherwise lacks traditional online play, and the results were nearly unbelievable.

Fast Fusion allows you to GameShare with people in your GameChat session, which is exactly what I did. I expected that my friend would have to wait five minutes for the Switch 2 to download some small vertical slice of the game. I was wrong. Instead, perhaps through some kind of streaming solution, they were in my game and racing with my within seconds. According to my friend, the video feed on their end was a little blurry, but the frame rate was high and gameplay was perfectly responsive.

I'll have to test this out with other games, but at first glance, GameShare might be for real.

Of course, nothing is perfect

I don't want to let Nintendo off the hook entirely here. GameChat made a really strong impression on me for all the reasons described above, but there were also some minor (and one major) hiccups.

There were one or two quick connection errors that probably had a lot to do with the console having just launched hours prior. More problematically, when I tried to close Mario Kart World and switch to the GameCube app with GameChat running, my Switch 2 just straight up froze on me. I also couldn't hear my friend anymore. This was, admittedly, scary. The good news is that holding the Switch 2's power button for about 15 seconds shut it off, and it rebooted seconds later without any problems. Afterward, nothing like that happened again.

While I can't pretend my time with GameChat so far has been perfectly smooth, I also can't lie: I think it's pretty rad. Built-in gameplay streaming, highly accurate speech-to-text, and noise suppression that has to be heard to be believed all make GameChat a force to be reckoned with. Fingers crossed Nintendo keeps releasing games that actually make me want to use it going forward.

SAVE $80: As of June 6, the Marshall Stanmore III speaker is down to just $299.99 at Amazon. That's 21% off its list price of $379.99 and its best price to date.

Not all Bluetooth speakers are created equal. Some sound great, but look dull, while others are all about aesthetic. The Marshall Stanmore III checks both boxes — and it's on sale for its lowest price on record.

As of June 6, you can get the Marshall Stanmore III for only $299.99 instead of $379.99. That's 21% in savings and the biggest price drop we've seen.

Basically a mini version of the iconic Marshall amps you've seen on stages everywhere, but built for your home, the Marshall Stanmore III is designed with with a retro guitar amp style. But don't worry; it doesn't weigh much more than a pound. While we haven't had a chance to test it out, our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) took it for a spin and found that "it delivers rich and bright Bluetooth audio from a familiar retro guitar amp design."

If it doesn't sound quite to your liking at first listen, easy controls on top will help you adjust it to fit your vibe — whether you prefer heavy bass or a more balanced bass and treble. You can also make adjustments in the app, but fair warning: it's extremely limited on features. "The speaker can get quite loud," according to PCMag's reviewer, "and delivers plenty of low-frequency richness and bright clarity."

It's a bit of an investment at full price, but with a 21% price drop, it's a bit more palatable.

What's so special about these glasses? Oh, just about everything if you're into sharing things with smart tech. They come equipped with open-ear speakers, an ultra-wide 12 MP camera, and a five-microphone system so you can experience and interact with what's going on around you effortlessly.

They've added new features ever since their debut, and I've had a pair for quite some time. Upon release, they were relegated to taking photos and videos, livestreaming on Facebook and Instagram, and acting as glorified headphones. Since then, however, they've added several features that make them well worth the purchase, including the ability to use live AI.

That means you can use Meta AI to chat about what you're seeing. It also enables live translation, which lets the glasses translate conversations for you in real time. And if you're like me and need to know what song is playing at all times, you can use Shazam to find out, straight from the glasses.

If you're looking for one of the easiest pieces of smart tech to use, this is it — and it's 20% off.

Google's new Gemini Pro is smarter than other AIs at reasoning, science, and coding.

This is according to a series of benchmark results posted by Google on Thursday. In short, Gemini 2.5 Pro beats chief competitors at nearly everything — though we're sure the companies behind those competitors would disagree.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

According to Google's data, Gemini 2.5 Pro has a healthy lead over OpenAI o3, Claude Opus 4, Grok 3 Beta, and DeepSeek R1, in the Humanity's Last Exam benchmark, which evaluates a model's math, science, knowledge, and reasoning. It's also better at code editing (per the Aider Polyglot benchmark), and it wins over all competitors in several factuality benchmarks including FACTS Grounding, meaning it's less likely to provide factually inaccurate text.

The only benchmark in which Gemini 2.5 Pro isn't a clear winner is the mathematics-focused AIME 2025, and even there the differences between results are pretty small.

As a result of all the improvements in Gemini 2.5 Pro, this model is now on top of the LMArena leaderboard with a score of 1470.

There's a catch, though: The final version of Gemini 2.5 Pro isn't widely available yet. Google calls this latest version an "upgraded preview," with a stable version coming "in a couple of weeks." The preview should now be available in the Gemini app, though.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk's post-DOGE exit feud has hit the social media mudslinging phase, with extremely serious accusations, contract termination threats, and petty name-calling erupting on Trump's Truth Social and Musk's X.

Late night show hosts like Stephen Colbert and (in the clip above) Seth Meyers have been unpacking each step in the break-up of the year. The political backscratcher duo of the U.S. president and the richest man in the world has quickly and publicly crumbled, with Musk and Trump now throwing barbs at each other within press conferences and on social media — including Trump threatening to terminate Musk's government contracts, Musk threatening to retire SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, and Musk publicly claiming, "Donald Trump is in the Epstein files."

“Holy shit! In the span of three hours, they went from Elon criticising the bill, to Trump threatening to take Elon’s contracts away, to Elon suggesting that Trump might be a pedophile," Meyers said in his "A Closer Look" segment on Thursday's Late Night. "Also, if we were to take you at your word, Elon, you already knew that — and it wasn’t a dealbreaker."

Meyers wrapped up by taking a broader look at the bigger picture.

"It's as clear as ever that neither of these guys really believed in anything. Elon spent nearly $300 million to get Republicans elected, and now he's shocked that they're doing the thing everyone said they would do. And in the process, Trump used Elon to get back into power. You know, in a way, they were right. Watching these guys destroy each other is both big and beautiful," Meyers said (using a clip of Trump saying “beautiful” to finish his sentence).

Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s post-DOGE exit feud has not only reached the point of the words "Epstein files" being dropped in an X post, but it's moved Stephen Colbert to deliver one of the best monologues you’ll see on late night in an age.

"Is this Twitter war a Cheesy Gordita Crunchwrap Supreme? Because it’s dripping hot messy filth and I am eating up every sloppy bite," said Colbert on Thursday night.

The richest man in the world and the U.S. president's relationship has quickly and very publicly soured over the last week. Despite seemingly being best friends mere days ago, both have since taken to social media to sling serious mud at each other.

Colbert took The Late Show audience through every step and tweet in Musk and Trump's ongoing “flame war” on Thursday, from Trump’s comments about Musk in a scathing press conference and writing contract-threatening and "Elon was wearing thin" posts on Truth Social, to Musk threatening to decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft and retweeting a post suggesting "Trump should be impeached."

If there’s a step in this petty feud that you’ve missed, Colbert will remind you of it, running all the way up to Musk publicly claiming, "Donald Trump is in the Epstein files," and Kanye West inexplicably entering the chat.

"You know things are bad when the rational voice meditating your dispute is Kanye West," said Colbert. "That’s like walking into an intervention organised by Captain Morgan."

I've tested this Fitbit a lot, and in my opinion, it's an excellent choice afor just about everyone. Whether you're hoping to run a 5K or want to get some insights into your sleeping habits, this watch has a bit of everything.

There are over 40 sports tracking modes that include running, swimming, cycling, and general workout features. However, it's worth noting that the battery life isn't as long-lasting for long-distance activities as the likes of Garmin or Coros. So if you're looking to push into marathon territory, check out the Forerunner range instead.

Other features of the Versa include heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and built-in GPS so you can head outside for activities without your phone. And style-wise, the Versa 4 ticks all the boxes. It has a bright AMOLED display with vibrant colors and images and is touchscreen-controlled, so it's easy to use as well as stylish on your wrist.
