Controversial Selling Mario Kart for $80 sets such a dangerous precedent for the future (It happened)

It's so Joever. @Mr. Reloaded @Sir Yasheen @RobertoTheOharaSurvivor

preorders come out in May now :'(

Yeah I'm strictly talking US when I say that.

GG's in North America lmao

True. And this is a huge market for Nintendo. Hopefully cooler heads prevail. Even if the tariffs don’t go away, Nintendo should think on the long term and at the very least keep the price as it is.

The bit about invitations for pre orders on their website going out on May 8th never changed. Unrelated to the delay.

Trump vs China
Nintendo watching Trump making one dumb desicion after the another one so they can blame him when the prices goes higher...
Never saw a greedy company like that.
Everyone would buy the switch for 350-400bucks(bundle), do they really need to spite on their fans like this?

Traditional media is dying because they assumed that the High Spending Habits of late 20s Millenials who had yet to have kids was the new norm

And it turns out Gen Z simply never got into traditional media because they got priced out of it , so it's something like The Opera, rich people shit or something parents do every half a year to keep their marriage intact


Theatres and Consoles killed themselves

This aint it


games going to be 100 bucks a pop soon

excluding in game purchases and micro transactions

Kids of this generation will grow up to become the new PC maniacs of the future.

They will shun all forms of consoles and stick exclusively to PC games (and maybe mobile gaming) because their parents failed to buy them that Switch 2 that cost 599 for Christmas when the kids begged to get one for Christmas.

That, and PCs don't get stolen as easily as those Switches

Dabbled in those private servers of Maplestory on my laptop back in the early 2010s myself.

Good times, but unfortunately such moments don't last forever.

gaming laptops are going to be way more expensive than they already are

 

[Midnight Delight]

it should be noted that this gen sold like 100M less than PS3+Xbox 360 and Wii even if we don't count PSP and DS as the numbers would become even more pathetic

If you're lucky, there are some great deals on gaming laptops on eBay from time to time. Quantities are limited and the offers are only available for a short time, but if you're bold enough to make an impulsive purchase in that moment, you might have purchased that laptop at a bargain price.

Too bad the scalpers don't play with miniature sized handheld PCs that look vaguely similar to the Switch and then PSP.
