I’d argue tariffs. Covid was horrible because they couldn’t make consoles. Tariffs are bad because they might be out pricing people of consoles. I think that’s worse.

 

That's an easy question. Covid was “great” for them (after the initial scare), it boosted video game and console sales immensely. Not being able to make enough to meet excessive demand is a luxury problem compared to not having enough demand.

 

The simple solution to this is of course to ship the Vietnamese consoles to the US and the Chinese to the rest of the world. I should have thought of that too.

Nintendo gets breathing room on tariffs — just in time for Switch 2 launch

 

Mythic Quest has a great ongoing joke where they continuously refer to the "good times of covid"

 

Anyone who was gonna raise prices now due to tariffs are going to still do it now despite the 90 days.

 

I would not be so sure, a good launch is worth a lot

 

Jon Lovett is literally one of us

 

Anyone try out Star Overdrive? Sounds like it's a Zelda BOTW/TOTK clone combined with hoverboard racing and people seem to actually like it

 

?? Why would anyone think you need a code to play a physical game??

 

Because it came from Nintendo UK last week that the carts came with a download code. It's in the article.

 

Yeah I believe it. That’s why the games are so expensive.

The Steam deck has worse hardware, is 100 dollars more expensive and valve is losing money on them. The only thing Nintendo has over them is scale.

 

That would be such a non-Nintendo thing to do though, I find it hard to believe

 

Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines

Switch 2's Mario Kart World bundle includes a physical copy in some regions

 

What was it? The post was taken down

 

The Nintendo stores pre-orders were already set to start on May 8th, even before the April 9th delay, and it looks like IGN mistakenly reported that as the new pre-order date.

What a mess lol

 

Nintendo, I usually do my best to try to see your side of things and call people out for overreacting but come on, what the fuck are you doing?

Ooof. It does seem like DLC should still be *playable*, but you do still need to buy it separately. Kinda crazy for first time players with the increased price.

 

they shouldn't be considering this the definitive way to play the game if it doesn't even include the DLC. that's fucking ridiculous. you need to shell out $90 for the whole experience if you don't own it yet!

 

Yeah, and tbh Champion's Ballad was so damn fun! Who doesn't want Link to ride a motorcycle?
