It may be a while still before we see the smart home hub Apple is rumored to be working on. According to Bloombergs Mark Gurman, the company has postponed the announcement of the upcoming product due to the issues its run into developing its smarter Siri. Gurman reported last month that the release of Apples upgraded Siri may be delayed, and Apple confirmed as much in a statement to Daring Fireball last week, saying it expects to roll out Siris more personalized features in the coming year. The smart home hub, according to Gurman, to an extent, relies on the delayed Siri capabilities. Gurman previously reported that the first version of the smart home display could be revealed as soon as March. It would be a competitor to Amazons Echo line of devices and Googles Nest Hub. While a March release is looking unlikely, Gurman reports that Apple is now allowing some employees to test it at home.

Mario Day, otherwise called Mar10 Day or just March 10, is nearly here. This is a yearly celebration to commemorate Nintendos iconic plumber. Its not his birthday or anything, but rather a totally random day that sort of looks like his name when spelled a specific way. Its just like how Star Wars Day falls on May 4. The main feature of Mar10 Day is deals, on both Nintendo consoles and Mario-themed games. Walmart is selling a Nintendo Switch OLED bundle for $349 that comes with a digital download code for the fantastic Super Mario Bros. Wonder and a three-month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online. Thats a savings of nearly $70. GameStop is also selling just about every notable Mario game for $20 off, making them $40. This even includes the recently-released Luigis Mansion 2 HD, which is a great port of a 3DS classic. Gamers can pick up Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario 3D World Plus Bowser's Fury, Super Mario Odyssey and Princess Peach: Showtime, all for $40. The remake of the very first Mario Vs. Donkey Kong is down to just $30. Theres one last little goodie here for Nintendo fans. The companys famous (or infamous) alarm clock, Alarmo, is now available for purchase from both Walmart and Target, in addition to pre-existing availability on the Nintendo online store.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/mario-day-deals-include-a-switch-oled-that-comes-with-super-mario-bros-wonder-for-349-130030476.html?src=rss

Nintendo added an absolute gem to its Switch Online library of classic titles this week: the 1994 Game Boy game, Donkey Kong. The beloved game arrives alongside the 1995 puzzle game, Marios Picross. Both are available now for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, right in time for Mario Day (March 10). Donkey Kong built upon the arcade game that came before it, and features roughly 100 stages. The story should feel pretty familiar even to those who dont have a nostalgic connection to it Donkey Kong has kidnapped a beautiful woman (Pauline) and Mario is in hot pursuit to rescue her. While the Super Game Boy brought some enhancements for the original game, those havent been carried over for Nintendo Switch. But it should still be a treat to revisit as is. Marios Picross offers a totally different experience, presenting the player with a couple hundred puzzles to solve by chiseling away at boxes and uncovering the secret image below.
