While the Switch 2 has backwards compatibility, Nintendo is releasing upgraded versions of its old games with enhanced framerates and resolution, as well as extra content. It’s also selling upgrades cheaper than full games, which you can get for titles you already own. The upgrades for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom will set you back $10. Now, the company has started revealing more upgrade prices for old games, and it looks like the ones for Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree will cost you twice as much at $20.
NintendoLife first posted about the upgrades’ potential prices based on their eShop listings for Europe. The company has updated its US eShop since then to show that they’re also being sold for $20 in the country. If you buy the upgrade for Kirby and the Forgotten Land, you’re getting access to a new part of the game called Star-Crossed World, wherein you have to uncover the mystery surrounding the meteor that struck the world. Meanwhile Super Mario Party Jamboree comes with Jamboree TV, a game show hosted by Toad. The Switch 2 version of the title uses the console’s Joy-Con 2 and microphone, and if you use its camera, you can also put your face into the action during mini-games.
Super Mario Party Jamboree for the Switch 2 will be available on July 24, while Kirby’s Switch 2 edition will be available on August 28. Both games will set you back $80 if you buy the full Switch 2 version instead of upgrading an old copy. Nintendo has yet to release the prices for the Switch 2 editions of Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which will be available later this year.

Legacy search brand Yahoo has been working on its own web browser prototype, and says it would like to buy Google’s Chrome if the company is forced by a court to sell it. From a report: The information came out during the fourth day of the Justice Department’s remedies trial to rectify Google’s search monopoly. The DOJ has — among other proposals — requested Judge Amit Mehta break up Google by requiring it sell its Chrome browser, which the agency says is a key distribution channel for its popular search engine that’s amassed too much power for anyone else to compete. Yahoo isn’t the only company interested in buying Chrome. While DuckDuckGo’s CEO said they wouldn’t be able to afford it, witnesses from Perplexity and OpenAI both expressed interest in the popular browser on the stand this week. Yahoo obviously isn’t worth Chrome’s estimated price tag of tens of billions of dollars. So the company is saying that its owner, the hedge fund giant Apollo, will help bankroll the purchase should the opportunity present itself.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a highly anticipated console, especially with Nintendo having gone a significant amount of time since the first Switch came out (to much acclaim). While the game library and gameplay experience are what typically attract gamers to the Nintendo world, good performance is also a nice addition to the package.

The Debian project is discussing a General Resolution (GR) that
would, if approved, clarify that AI models must include training data
to be compliant with the Debian
Free Software Guidelines (DFSG) and be distributed by Debian as
free software. While GR discussions are sometimes contentious, the
discussion around the proposal from Debian developer Mo Zhou has
been anything but—there seems to be
consensus that AI models are not DFSG-compliant if they lack training
data. There are, however, some questions about the exact language and
questions about the impact the GR will have on existing packages in
the Debian archive.
When it first leaked that Bethesda was working on a remake of the fourth game in its seminal Elder Scrolls series using Unreal Engine 5, some folks may have groaned in resignation, expecting that the re-release would be brutally demanding and suffer performance issues. Well, it turns out that the remake is really more of a “Remaster”, and

This week Intel announced “200S Boost” for Core Ultra “Arrow Lake” K-Series desktop processors as effectively a new overclocking profile rolling out to existing Z890 motherboards via a BIOS update. Enabling the 200S Boost profile is said to help with low-latency workloads like gaming by allowing higher fabric / die-to-die / memory frequencies. While some Windows benchmarks have begun emerging for the Intel 200S Boost mode and some limited gains, I was curious about the performance under Linux so here are some 200S Boost benchmarks with the Core Ultra 9 285K on Ubuntu 25.04.
The new Pathseeker can be had as a hardtail or full-suspension bike and brings a new fully adjustable suspension system front and rear. The system doesn’t use air or hydraulics in its damping or anti-squat adjustment.
Full bike prices start from €6,299, with hardtail framesets available from €3,799.
Not just another carbon bike
The Pathseeker FS uses a mix of fibres and bio-resin in its frame construction. Antidote
The Pathseeker’s construction uses a composite Antidote developed. It comprises a combination of carbon fibre, flax fibre, basalt fibre and a bio-based resin.
The brand claims this new composite is not only better ecologically than traditional carbon fibre, it also helps to significantly reduce vibrations in ways that standard carbon fibre cannot.
The rear suspension uses flexible fibres to aid its travel. Antidote
The frame also uses Vectran, a synthetic fibre that is five times stronger than steel and 10 times stronger than aluminium.
The Vectran is used in high-impact areas, making the most of the material’s high abrasion resistance and flex fatigue resistance.
Suspension without shocks
The eccentric mounts for the rear suspension offer tunability to the feel of the travel. Antidote
Antidote’s designers have created a proprietary suspension system called NanoFlex, used both at the front and rear of the Pathseeker. It is designed to offer 20mm of travel at each end.
The rear design is based on four pivot points, found more commonly in mountain bikes.
On the Pathseeker, the two usual pivots on the chainstays have been replaced by a flexible section in the chainstays. The remaining pivots are replaced by an eccentric mechanism in the front triangle, to which the rear triangle anchors.
Gravel suspension is becoming increasingly popular.
Antitode says the eccentric mechanism mimics the action of a cam pushing on a shock absorber. The mechanism is stabilised by an elastomer, adding control to the suspension travel and vibration damping.
The elastomer can be replaced and switched, allowing for a full range of stiffness adjustments.
The suspension on the front of the Pathseeker looks similar to Cannondale’s classic HeadShok. Antidote
At the front, a carbon fork is combined with an integrated system that is actuated by either a spring or an interchangeable elastomer.
The steerer cap doubles up as a lockout. It’s a system very reminiscent of Cannondale’s original HeadShok or, more recently, BMC’s fork on the front and rear suspension-equipped URS LT.
The top cap on the headset doubles as a lock-out dial for the fork. Antidote
Antidote claims the suspension works over small bumps and larger impacts, and isn’t influenced at all by pedalling or braking.
Bike details
The Pathseeker is also available as a hardtail.
The Pathseeker frame comes in two guises, the full-suspension eccentric pivot frame and a standard rigid back end. Both designs feature a low-slung sloping top tube, dropped stays and flattened tube profiles.
The geometry pairs a 72-degree head angle with a 72.5-degree seat angle on the size large.
That makes the Pathseeker’s geometry somewhat less extreme than new suspension-equipped gravel bikes such as Lee Cougan’s Innova Super Gravel or Ridley’s new Ignite GTX.
The new bike’s geometry is more in line with Cannondale’s similarly flex-tailed Topstone or BMC’s URS LT One. That would suggest the Pathseeker is intended more as an all-rounder/race gravel bike than a rowdy adventurer.
The Pathseeker FS frameset. Antidote
Antidote’s claimed weights for the framesets, including the fork, would suggest the same, at 1,590g for the full-suspension option and 1,350g for the hardtail, both in a large size. That could make for some impressively light builds for a suspension-equipped gravel bike.
The Pathseeker uses the UDH dropout standard. Antidote
The Pathseeker offers 50mm of tyre clearance, and has a T47 bottom bracket and UDH-compatible rear dropouts.
The hardtail comes in three build options. Antidote
Antidote Pathseeker range and pricing details
The full-suspension Pathseeker gets four build options. Antidote
The Antidote Pathseeker range comes with two full-suspension options and three hardtails. There are frameset options in both full-suspension and hardtail, too.
