Every year on March 10 (better known as MAR10 day), Nintendo celebrates its most famous plumber with promotions across games and merchandise. For Nintendo Switch owners, it is also one of the best times of the year to grab some classic Mario titles at a discounted price.

This year’s Mario Day sale includes discounts on a mix of platformers, party games, and remakes starring Mario and friends. The promotion runs for a limited time across Nintendo eShop and select retailers. So if you’ve been waiting to expand your Switch library, these discounts are worth a look.

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.

Artificial intelligence is often blamed for making people less social. Whether it's AI replacing conversations, reducing teamwork, or making gaming feel less human, the narrative has largely remained the same. But a new study suggests the opposite could also be true. In fact, AI might be quietly encouraging people to spend more time with their friends.

Researchers studying PUBG: Battlegrounds have found that introducing AI-controlled opponents into multiplayer matches didn't isolate players. Instead, it made them more confident, kept them playing longer, and even encouraged them to squad up with friends more often. The findings, which will appear in the journal Information Systems Research, offer an interesting perspective on how AI can improve user experiences rather than simply automating them.

Sony is preparing to close the PlayStation Store on PS3, ending new purchases globally by July 2027. Less than two weeks after that announcement, the team behind RPCS3 revealed a very different milestone.

The open-source PS3 emulator now lists 75% of the console’s tracked library as playable on PC. That covers 2,681 of 3,559 games, and the rating means they can be completed with acceptable performance and no game-breaking glitches.

Nobody wants to wait for Grand Theft Auto VI on PC. With Rockstar still promising only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions for November 19, a sudden burst of PS5-emulation progress has naturally attracted plenty of attention. 

Two open-source projects, KytyPS5 and SharpEmu, can now boot genuine commercial PS5 software on computers. Both remain extremely experimental, so anyone picturing GTA VI running on a gaming laptop this November should lower their expectations considerably.
