Nintendo: you know what? Fuck you. Our prices just went up for you. Games are $120 now. Fuck you, you'll still buy our pokemon slop we spent 0 effort making. Mario? Yep, $120, but now when he jumps he says "fucka youuuu!" You'll still buy it, because Mario.
I quit gaming. It’s in a shitty state so why bother?
I've been ootl on Pokemon since y/x, and even was barely paying attention before someone else bought it for me. But the shit I saw when sword shield(? First switch title) was wild. They really were just phoning it in, and people still bought everything else they dropped! The only reason I got a switch was for prime 4, and likely won't be getting a switch 2. Sucks watching my nostalgia be abused in real time.
I think emulators and ROM hacks are where it's at. Screw new games.
FR lack of backwards compatibility is what kept me from getting one for the longest time, got one, I played Metroid Dread, despite only being available for that console that is not the system it plays best on. Now I have a cheap SBC, It's sad when a $30 handheld can smoke a name brand
You can still enjoy the games you are nostalgic for with emulators.
I love how nintendo are switching our youths back towards old school tactics. Emulators and piracy are having their renaissance.
Never left for me. 😎
I got tired of the new games being shit and/or not done when. I think last game I bought new was No Man's Sky (yes I know, its decent now, I still play it sometimes), after that disappointment I just gave up. I haven't been paying attention on whats coming, whats the newest big game.. I just play emulators. I play the games that I wanted to play when I was a kid, but couldn't. My gaming journey started with Amiga 500, then I got a NES, after that a Game Gear, then a Play Station 1. So I've been gaming a lot of SNES stuff lately, I downloaded a bunch of Atari titles. Sega games are next on the list.
Theres so much to play, I will die before I run out of stuff. I think I'll never buy a new game ever again.
And I do sometimes, some community made ones and randomizers on occasion. It would just be nice to have something to look forward to when the used market becomes more affordable.
You reminded me of a b rated movie about some old coots in NY. There's a kid who says that to anything anyone says to him.
What, you mean this?

I was really just trying to be funny by mentioning the film Nintendo would like everyone to forget, which also happened to vaguely meet your description, but thank you for telling me the correct one.
They can say that in the future but as far as this suit goes, didn't they already say, "Don't blame us, the prices are going up because of tariffs"?
True, I was just making a joke about Nintendos response to the people in the article suing for a refund of the tarrif price increase.
