New York City Ballet Spring 2025 Review: A Rewarding Romp Through the Past
New York
For only the second time in my 5 1/2 decades attending New York City Ballet's spring seasons at Lincoln Center, the troupe presented no world premieres. Of the 26 ballets in rotation through June 1, only one work—'When We Fell,' by Kyle Abraham—qualifies as a premiere, specifically a stage premiere, since it offers choreography initially shown digitally during the Covid-19 lockdown in April 2021.

Nintendo Switch 2 Launch: What to Know Before You Get Yours
Scott Stein/CNET The Nintendo Switch 2 goes on sale tonight, but I've got a Switch 2 and some other gear right now, and am getting a feel for the hardware as fast as I can. The Switch 2 box is pretty compact, and it's similar-looking to the original Switch. The dock is thick, but similar to previous Switch docks. This one has its own cooling fan, with HDMI, USB-C and Ethernet ports inside, and two USB-A ports outside. I'll be setting up the Switch 2 soon, will have thoughts on how everything works! The magnetically-snapping Joy-Cons are already a lot easier to swap on and off.
