Mario Day Is Over, but the Switch Bundle Is Still Available
The official holiday known as Mario Day may have happened nearly a month ago, but many of the deals are carrying on. One of its best this year is the Nintendo Switch Mario ‘Choose One Bundle’, which you can still pick up, even in April. For $299.99, the bundle includes both the Mario Red console and a Mario game of your choice. You can choose from Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, or New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. There’s not a bad game in the bunch. Below, are links to where each of these bundles can still be purchased.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie Tickets
In the spirit of Mario beyond Mario Day, there are still several more deals to check out (including a new LEGO Super Mario Dry Bowser Castle Battle expansion set), but more importantly, The Super Mario Bros. Movie tickets are up for pre-sale. If you’re looking to pick up tickets for Nintendo and Illumination’s upcoming film (which releases on April 5), head to the link below to reserve them.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is Up for Preorder
Would you prefer to watch the film at home instead? The Super Mario Bros. Movie is available for preorder right now. Seems fast, since it just hit theaters, but who am I to question a multi-billion dollar corporation?
This is an excellent time to pick up a Nintendo Switch, especially with games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on the horizon, which you can preorder here. You can also pick up the physical version of Metroid Prime Remastered for the Switch and see a full list of other upcoming Nintendo Switch games for this year here.

God of War Ragnarök New Game Plus is available now
Tidal’s listening party feature is now widely available
After some testing, Tidal’s DJ feature is officially available. Now called Live, the option lets HiFi and HiFi Plus subscribers share what they’re playing in real-time with other paying members. Once you start, you just have to share links with others who want to tune in. You can’t mix and scratch, unfortunately, but this may do the trick if you’re hoping to host a virtual listening party.
As you might guess, Tidal is using this to promote both itself and artists. Musicians like Alesso, Aluna and Diplo are hosting Live sessions in the US, UK, Brazil, Germany and Poland, while Tidal will have genre experts playing picks throughout the week.
Live is available now on Android and iOS and works with over 100 million tracks. Tidal plans start at $10 per month. You’ll still have to settle for regular AAC tracks, unfortunately. For now, higher quality tunes aren’t an option. You also have to listen to DJs in the country where you signed up. You can’t tune into a German trendsetter’s session from the US, to put it another way.
This may be more or less alluring than similar options at rival services, depending on what you’re looking for. Spotify’s Group Sessions let everyone involve control playback, but only for several people. Amazon’s Amp, meanwhile, is more of a music-oriented radio show tool and (while we were trying it, at least) isn’t guaranteed to have the tunes you want to share. Tidal’s approach is simple, but may be ideal if you want to be the sole DJ without the pressure to speak up.
The catch, of course, is that everyone involved has to be a subscriber. Tidal doesn’t even register on Statista’s global market share chart — while it’s a known brand, you’ll be performing for a relatively small audience. You’ll have to convince your friends to switch away from the likes of Spotify or Apple Music to make the most of Live, and there’s no guarantee they’ll be willing to give up their carefully curated playlists and recommendations.

The 44mm GPS model is on sale for $249.00, down from $279.00. Like the smaller model, this one is available in all three colors and various band sizes with a delivery date around April 6-10 for the fastest options. It’s an overall second-best price.
Moving to cellular models, the 40mm cellular Apple Watch SE has hit $269.00 on Amazon, down from $299.00. Discounts on both cellular models have been more rare than the GPS versions of the Apple Watch SE, so this is a great opportunity to purchase the wearable at its lowest price.

Top Stories: WWDC Announced, iOS 16.4 Released, Apple Music Classical Now Available
This week also saw the release of iOS 16.4 and associated updates, as well as launches of Apple Music Classical and Apple Pay Later. Meanwhile, we heard fresh rumors about Apple’s long-rumored AR/VR headset and the iPhone 15 lineup coming later this year, so read on for details on these stories and more!
Apple Announces WWDC 2023 Taking Place June 5 to 9
Mark your calendars! Apple this week announced that WWDC 2023 will be held from Monday, June 5 through Friday, June 9. Sessions and labs will be available online, but there will also be an in-person component. Like last year, randomly selected developers and students will be able to attend a special day at Apple Park on the Monday to watch the keynote video, meet with some of Apple’s teams, enjoy evening activities, and more.
At WWDC, Apple will announce the latest versions of its software platforms, including iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14, watchOS 10, and tvOS 17. Apple’s long-awaited AR/VR headset may also be unveiled at WWDC, and there could always be another surprise or two.
Apple Music Classical Now Available on App Store
Apple Music Classical is now available on the App Store in most countries around the world. The app features over five million classical music tracks and is free to use with a standard Apple Music subscription.
Apple first announced plans to launch a classical music app in 2021 after acquiring and shutting down Primephonic, a streaming service for classical music. Apple plans to release an Android version of the app soon.
Everything New in iOS 16.4
Following around six weeks of beta testing, iOS 16.4 is now available to the public. The software update includes a handful of new features and changes for the iPhone, so be sure to check out the full list.
Apple has already released the first beta of iOS 16.5, which so far includes only a few minor changes, including a new “Sports” tab in the Apple News app and the ability to start a screen recording by asking Siri.
Apple Reportedly Demoed AR/VR Headset to Executives in Steve Jobs Theater
Apple’s much-rumored AR/VR headset was reportedly demoed to the company’s top executives during a presentation at Steve Jobs Theater last week, suggesting the device is getting closer to launching.
Apple is expected to unveil the headset at WWDC in June, although analyst Ming-Chi Kuo this week said that mass production of the headset has been pushed back again, so he is not entirely certain about it being unveiled at WWDC.
iPhone 15 Pro Rumored to Feature Multi-Use Action Button Instead of Mute Switch
The upcoming iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models are rumored to feature a customizable Action button like the Apple Watch Ultra.
The source claimed the Action button will replace the Ring/Silent switch that has been included on every iPhone model since 2007. Like on the Apple Watch Ultra, users would be able to map the Action button to various system functions like turning on/off the flashlight. There may also be a sensitivity setting to allow the buttons to be used with cases and gloves.
Apple Pay Later Now Available on Limited Basis, Launching Widely in Coming Months
Apple this week announced that it will begin inviting “randomly selected users” to use a prerelease version of Apple Pay Later via the Wallet app and an email sent to their Apple ID. Apple Pay Later is available in the U.S. and requires iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4.
The “buy now, pay later” financing option will be expanded to all eligible iPhone users over the age of 18 in the U.S. in the “coming months,” according to Apple.
