'Sonic 4' and 'The Legend of Zelda' will both release in March 2027, a week apart from each other 🍿

X · Mar 28, 2025, 4:45 PM

[jaunty kraken]

if the Zelda movie will look like ass then I will once again hope that the Sonic movie beats its competitor movie

[night plume]

Is that so people will go see LoZ when the theater is too full to see Sonic? Or hoping the hype from Sonic will invite to LoZ?

[jaunty kraken]

would be really insane if it turns out that TLoZ is being influenced by Sonic

although the Sonic movies gained prestige

[peak folio]

I don’t think they were too worried about it, but can’t say.

[mild crown]

Guys I pulled a rare pokemon card by accident/for a joke 🙂 who wants to see it? Its a Dragonite, and its sparkly

[mild crown]

Its in media

[peak folio]

It’s gonna get nuked cause that channel is for Pocketpair games.

But yeah I know we can’t attach anything here.

[hearty sonnet]

Sorry yeah I did have to delete it 🥲

Just use Imgur to post it here

[narrow copper]

does anyone here use wemod

[teal iron]

no, seems rather fishy

[silver pewter]

As someone who has played the Legend of Zelda series since 1998, I just think that it is completely silly to do a live action movie, when BOTW and TOTK didn't have full voice acting for ALLLLLL main characters, npcs, everyone you could come across. In terms of that, those two games are behind even Witcher 2 from 2011, let alone Witcher 3.

[novel sun]

Live action Zelda is gonna be Nintendo's version of the Minecraft movie

[silver pewter]

Meh... I want in the vein of The Witcher Season 1. In terms of vibe and combat. Obviously not gonna have the Adult/Mature themes.

[jaunty kraken]

This is what I fear

[drifting fjord]

I hope it’s good… I really really do since child me really wanted a LoZ movie especially based on twilight princess. Still do, I just hope they don’t screw it up 😔

lul https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/28/ubisoft-shares-surge-on-deal-to-spin-off-top-game-franchises.html

[peak folio]

Share price doing share price things.

[gloomy raven]

Plummeting?

[peak folio]

It spiked when news of the deal happened and quickly sold off.

[gloomy raven]

Spiked for a few hours, then crashed again when details of the deal emerged

-14% in the past day

[peak folio]

The overall trajectory is still pretty bad.

[gloomy raven]

Yep

-81.85% in the past 5 yrs, -14% since yesterday, gains on the news item vanished when details of the deal were made clear

[peak folio]

Ubisoft is incredibly bloated and are probably going to have to release a lot of people sooner than later regardless of how Shadows is doing.

[gloomy raven]

If I was an employee I'd sue

Management is very obviously doing backroom deals that are going to mess with compensation by spinning IP off into a new corporate entity

https://i.imgur.com/9qa7KWS.png

[peak folio]

More of a shareholder issue than an employee complaint

[gloomy raven]

The employees are shareholders since a lot of comp packages are awarded in stock

[peak folio]

“Sucking criminally bad” is a hard sell to go after an employer for, but investors are entitled to know about deals in discussions

[peak folio]

Ah I see what you’re saying

[gloomy raven]

You can't sue the employer for the stock going down, that's not what I mean, I mean they can sue if the employer is doing things they know will crash the stock and the employees aren't made aware

And in this case Ubi management is doing some really shady stuff that benefits the owners and screws everyone else

[peak folio]

Yeah I’m not exactly sure how exactly that works when also employed by the company, particularly *in France.

[gloomy raven]

Yeah, labor protections in France

And everywhere else Ubisoft operates

I'd be ultra pissed if I was an employee with RSUs

[peak folio]

It’s all sad to see.

[gloomy raven]

I'd bet anything TenCent is just gonna sit back and let them burn through this cash. Then in 1-2 years they are going to buy up more of the IP

[peak folio]

Tencent did that already, lol

[gloomy raven]

Yeah but they own like 25% now

I mean they can go up to 51% and eventually all of it etc

[peak folio]

Let them tank the value and buy on the cheap.

[gloomy raven]

Just let Ubisoft's Council of Karens keep releasing slop and burning through cash

Yeah and eventually Ubisoft will cease to exist if TenCent buys up all of the valuable IP

TenCent will probably do a better job with the Assassin's Creed franchise anyway

[peak folio]

They’ll own 51% of the entire gaming business before long.

[peak folio]

Ehhhhh…

Tencent has people in the west licking their lips for good deals, ngl

Devs over here, or at least this hemisphere… they’re kind of in their collective bubble rn

[glad needle]

How does any American still buy from Tencent?

[gloomy raven]

Yes, correct, because they have a lot of money to throw around to keep the Western bad business management afloat.

That's been their strategy for a long time now, find poorly managed EU or US companies and throw them cash in exchange for ownership.

China does this to whole countries and gets them in debt too, it's a smart business strategy.

[glad needle]

We need to stop letting businesses sell out to some foreign monopoly. Let the businesses die in the free market

[gloomy raven]

Presumably French law allows this kind of thing, US law does too. TenCent owns Riot Games (California) outright.

Tencent owns 100% of Riot Games. Lol.

[glad needle]

What IPs does Riot Games own?

[peak folio]

League

Valorant

[glad needle]

Good thing I was never into League or Valorant

[tough comet]

same

[peak folio]

Tencent owns a good chunk of Epic Games too.

[teal iron]

Could've sworn I read like a couple months ago someone saying Ubisoft is invincible AAA and will never die

[peak folio]

A couple months ago?

Maybe a couple decades ago…

When we were kids we called them Ubersoft.

[teal iron]

If losing 85% of your stock value and selling a quarter of it to Ten"We Invented Everything Evil In Gaming"cent isn't dying then idk what is

[peak folio]

That makes like no sense today.

[teal iron]

Maybe they were talking about EA but isn't EA's stock sliding uncontrolled down a hill too

[peak folio]

Western punlishers are in a struggle.

[tough comet]

they hired all the wrong people, and they lost sight of the goal in favor for more money

[teal iron]

Existential crisis of what it means to be a video game developer and publisher

[peak folio]

They took on a lot of excess fat during COVID too.

[teal iron]

Does it mean doing what the board of directors whose primary goal is to make money in the next 30 seconds say, or does it mean doing what got them to the point of actually having a board of directors

Unfortunately the company doesn't actually get to choose because they sold their stock to the board of directors thinking the board would seek sustainable corporate growth instead of frivolous short term profit

But as it turns out shareholders are so obsessed with gambling everything to make more money now that they don't realize gambling statistically fails the majority of the time

[peak folio]

||Most investors are kind of jerks anyway||

[teal iron]

You'd think someone with several hundred million in various assets would understand that sustainable growth has the best statistical return compared to irresponsible disregard for the future, but idk I guess they skipped class at the fancy boarding school and overpriced ivy League university their parents sent them to

They got a billion dollars from Mom and Dad just by being alive so surely they'll get a bajillion more by dropping it in EA's main office building incinerator and waiting ten minutes and if they don't it's clearly everyone else's fault

🤡

[gloomy raven]

Yep.

So what I see happen is a group of people happen to agree with a corporation's ideology or whatever message they are putting in their games. Then suddenly it's "defend multi billion dollar corporation at all costs" meme time.

To those people it doesn't matter that Ubisoft / Blizzard / Microsoft etc whatever is being hit by sexual assault lawsuits, illegal business practice lawsuits, or whatever else. Once they get on board with a corp, they'll defend it no matter how bad things get or how bad the games get.

Also, some business practices lead to mass layoffs, this happened when Activision sold to Microsoft too. Employees get hit hard and managers make out like bandits.

But the "LEaVE The CorpoRaTioN AlOnE" folks ignore that and want to act all progressive.

[gloomy raven]

Hey I gained a few lbs during COVID also! Lol.

[tough comet]

Oh no this is why I was afraid to even comment

[teal iron]

Oh wait they're baiting all the chats not continuing my chain if logic

"logic" as if anything I say is smart

[gloomy raven]

Management is making out like bandits. They have the education and they know what they are doing, and they know it'll screw over many of their employees.

See Blizzard, Ubisoft, etc.

They are immoral, but not stupid!

[teal iron]

No I think they're actually just stupid

I'm pretty sure this statistically makes them faaaaaaaar less money than a steady hand guiding towards stable growth

[silver pewter]

My personal favorite Ubisoft game, PoP Warrior Within, came out 2004, aka 21 Years ago.

[gloomy raven]

Oh yeah, I agree, but they want the sure-fire bail-out money now from someone like TenCent as opposed to the other path.

[teal iron]

Focusing on shareholder returns is bad for the shareholders

[gloomy raven]

Of course they can't go back and make good decisions now, it's too late

[teal iron]

I guess the CEO who makes these bad decisions at their command technically gets off rich because they get a huge severance package

[teal iron]

I was always a fan of those rabbids games on the wii

[silver pewter]

Rabbids games were neat, but they weren't like.... impressive from a technological/mechanical perspective.

[teal iron]

Eh that stuff is secondary to me

[silver pewter]

Imo, Rareware with Donkey Kong Country 1 on SNES, was more impressive than anything that Ubisoft has ever put out.

I might be biased as shit, but I would have the audacity to say that Diddy Kong Racing is actually better than Mario Kart 64.

[jaunty kraken]

Conker's Bad Day would have definitely made that joke

[teal iron]

No you're right, Nintendo just don't wanna acknowledge any racing game besides Mario kart

[jaunty kraken]

your opinion won't be discreited (I never played DKR64 so i can't tell but it does look like it was charming and fun)

[jaunty kraken]

REAL
Where is my new F-Zero, N*ntendo?

F-Zero 99 doesn't count

then again, F-Zero GX was made by SEGA, so even they knew they got outdone at their own game

[silver pewter]

To me, the main problem with Mario Kart 64, and Double Dash in the same vein, is that there is only 16 tracks, and you finish each race in 2 or 3 minutes. And so you really only got about 30 to 40 hours before you get severely bored of the tracks.

With Diddy Kong Racing, kart is only 1/3rd of the game, you also got the airplane races and hovercraft races.

[jaunty kraken]

and bosses!

[silver pewter]

The coin challenges also offer a unique challenge, because you need to do paths/routes to get the coins instead of the fastest path, and you also still need to get 1st place in the race.

Nintendo develops the worst DRM of all time: limited digital copies:

when you buy a digital Switch game you only get one "card" that can be used in one single console
activating it in another console requires the previous console where it was activated to have an active

X · Mar 27, 2025, 6:27 PM

[peak folio]

The virtual game cards are better than how their digital works currently.

[novel sun]

Does their current digital not allow for downloading already-purchased games onto another system?

[peak folio]

It’s excruciatingly complicated.

You can be logged in to multiple systems and other people logged in on your device can play your game (at least within the family account, not sure otherwise), but sharing of any sort generally doesn’t work.

[teal iron]

Only one system can be "home" and share your library with other users

[peak folio]

Basically if you want the kids to share a copy of the game you want the physical

[teal iron]

Any other system only you can play your games and only with active internet

But this new thing sounds like now if you wanna play on a different system you gotta go through a process even on your own account

[peak folio]

Yeah the new system basically sucks less.

[teal iron]

No it sounds to me like it sucks more

[peak folio]

How can it be worse?

[teal iron]

If I wanna play tropical freeze on my switch by picking my older brother's account now I have to either wait 2 weeks after he last played it or hope that he isn't travelling or keeping his system powered off

[hearty sonnet]

Mmmmm Tropical Freeze

[teal iron]

And if I do that then he can't play unless those conditions are met from my end to move the stupid artificially scarce digital copy back to him

[peak folio]

That seems like a self imposed problem than anything else, unless you really want to be using other people’s accounts

[teal iron]

I just wanna play tropical freeze without plugging in the Wii u and waiting for it to load

[peak folio]

We’re talking about the Switch, though.

[teal iron]

The switch is plugged in and the primary improvement of the switch version of tropical freeze is that it loads faster than the Wii u hard drive/CD

[unborn mauve]

nintendo confirming physical>virtual

[jaunty kraken]

the Switch is the only modern console where the physical games remain truly physical and not glorified download keys or the disks still require some download or installaiton to work

even though i don't plan i buy it, i do hope the Switch 2 remains that way

[deep idol]

I heard a while ago physical media is slowly making a comeback. The "buying isn't owning" deal does not sit very well with a large number of people. I can verify I am one such person. My main reasoning: "What to do if the internet cuts out for 24 hours?"

[nocturne glade]

Hum

[teal iron]

I think Xbox is the real major offender tbh

Like steam will trust you afaik almost indefinitely if you say "yeah bro internet's down"
Nintendo will trust you for at least 2 weeks but idk about after that
If Microsoft servers encounter a temporary outage you are just not allowed to play any games on your xbox period

Like the system is designed for a world of perfect networking

I mean sure if it cut me off from my gamepass subscriptions after a few weeks I'd understand but like
The system is barely operational without internet

Ethernet port is almost as critical as the power cord

[obtuse mauve]

[teal iron]

[gloomy raven]

Huh?

Discussing BlackRock isn't politics, they invest in all sorts of companies, gaming included.

[icy pecan]

Because black rock is involved in current political issues

For better or worse

[gloomy raven]

Really, like which ones? They invest in all sorts of markets, including gaming and housing.

None of you are really making a good case for why this can't be discussed in #off-topic of all places.

[icy pecan]

Personally I'm not sure but I like to side with better

[gloomy raven]

So you're not sure about the political issues you are worried about discussing in the company you're not even sure which political issues it touches, so you're just trying to moderate an off topic channel for no reason.

BlackRock isn't an inherently political thing unless that's what it means to you. I wasn't discussing politics, they are a huge company that do much more than just politics.

[icy pecan]

I'm not trying to do anything I'm just saying why prima may not want to discuss it

I don't care what is discussed about

[gloomy raven]

That's fine, he / she / they don't have to talk about it if they don't like the topic.

But saying we can't discuss BlackRock here because it's "political" is like saying we can't discuss TenCent because it's political. These big companies invest in all sorts of stuff.

And by the way TenCent has their hand all over politics.

[teal iron]

I don't like to talk about these kind of things because it tends to become an echo chamber or a fight and I'm not interested in either of those things

[gloomy raven]

Then don't talk about it - what makes no sense is you trying to tell other people they can't discuss it, right?

[icy pecan]

I just know blackrock had some sort of deal with the panama canal and all that jazz

They are just a company.

[teal iron]

I meant to type best
Not the best

Don't you have overconfident Level 45 players to obliterate or something?

[gloomy raven]

That's fine. By the way the BlackStone / BlackRock thing is more of a meme. No one is "rallying" anyone to do anything - did you read the phrase "chuds vs blackrock" and think it was some sort of political manifesto or something?

I think you're reading Prima all wrong. I'm sure you guys agree on ALOT of the same things and are on the "same side" here. This is all just a big ol misunderstanding

[drifting fjord]

I kinda miss doing that raid with friends, trying to get good transmog or the mount, or doing an achievement run with a group of buddies… I remember being sun tzu for that one achievement oregorger has

[gloomy raven]

They manage a lot of money and have a lot of influence. Kind of like a TenCent but in the US, and a lot bigger.

This is going to sound insane but BlackRock manages assets under management worth over 11 Trillion dollars.

$ 11,000,000,000,000

50/50 that bellanoir is trying to be funny and just isn't landing it

Are they the chuds or the new world order

[full mountain]

I think the joke is viewing those are two different things

[gloomy raven]

Did you guys think we were going to rally people to fight a 11 Trillion Dollar investment firm in a gaming chat?

Lol.

[icy pecan]

Weird shit has happened

[gloomy raven]

Some people do think BlackRock is evil because they manage so much money, but there's many companies like that, they aren't evil or good, they just are. They only care about their assets under management and generating a profit, that's all. No different from Amazon or TenCent or whoever.

[full mountain]

Someone unironically tried doing that against Nintendo in here

And then got mad at us for telling him it was a fruitful endeavor and viewed us as siding with the enemy

Soemthing about "silence is a win for them" and all that

[gloomy raven]

Yeah I don't know how that's going to end up. I think it is a very bad thing that Nintendo is shutting down / trying to lock away mechanics like that. Nothing Discord can do, it's up to the courts, and maybe even the courts outside Japan.

I think PP is screwed in Japan, Japan courts are different and the trademark system is different. I think if PP has a shot it's in the US.

[icy pecan]

https://tenor.com/view/america-merica-murica-usa-born-gif-22051907

Also BlackRock is many levels more powerful than something like Nintendo. Nintendo is meaningless to an entity like BlackRock.

Pocketpair ain't no pushovers and have the funds to get some ace lawyers on the case. They have a genuinely good chance to beat the lawsuit, or at least argue for terms that won't ruin them or the game. I wouldn't worry about them, pocketpair are in good hands

[peak folio]

That would be very strange if they did it that way.

[gloomy raven]

Yes I agree with you, I'm just saying the laws in question are different between Japan and the USA

I think they'll have an easier time with the mechanics patent stuff outside Japan

[gloomy raven]

Sorry, can you provide a link to what you are talking about?

BlackRock has Assets Under Management worth in excess of 11 Trillion right now. When / how did they lose 10 TR?

[peak folio]

Saying the laws are different as the entire basis of Pocketpair being screwed is not a very cogent argument.

[full mountain]

Yea I get what you mean, but as well even in Japan Pocketpair can make a good case. I won't go into details cuz I wanna drop the topic but they have some pretty good legal help on their side, I'm sure

[gloomy raven]

Japan's patent system allows the filing party to try and trademark concepts after-the-fact, it is different than the US and other jurisdictions.

[full mountain]

I know but I was making sure

[sterile jolt]

sorry got the number wrong, 1.7 trillion in 6 months back in 2022 I remember people touting 10 trillion but that might have been a broad number across all of the people

[peak folio]

Yeah, you know what that actually means, right?

No one would be able to make anything.

[sterile jolt]

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-07-20/how-blackrock-lost-1-7-trillion-in-six-months?sref=fSOf3OlP

[gloomy raven]

Yes, and I'm not saying I agree with what Nintendo is doing. I'm just letting you know that PocketPair is at a disadvantage in Japan due to how their patent laws work.

Which is why I said I think they have a better shot in other jurisdictions.

[gloomy raven]

Oh, yeah. That's really bad. That's like a historic loss, lol. Didn't they also reverse course on a number of policies?

I don't think they wanted to lose 1.7TR btw, they just really messed up.

[sterile jolt]

far as I can find they didn't reverse course and think they just need to try harder

[gloomy raven]

Check google for "BlackRock Policy Change" you'll get some hits for some stuff they are changing, but that stuff really is political so I won't get into it here.

I'm sure many people at BlackRock got canned after a 1.7 TR loss in 6mo though.

[sterile jolt]

last one I see is a month ago

but yeah financial companies pursuing things in spite of financial loss isn't uncommon in modern era

[gloomy raven]

Nintendo's market cap in uSD is 84 Billion.

That means in 6 months BlackRock lost 20 Nintendos worth in assets (1.7 TR).

Lol.

[sterile jolt]

they've lost the GDP of Indonesia

close to the GDP of mexico

yeah that's not good

"in six months We lost enough money we could have bought countries and still had some left over."

GDP of mexico is 1.8 trillion, the GDP of indonesia is 1.4 trillion

Blackrock could have bought Indonesia and still had money left over

I mean, technically by definition, if you 'publish' a game, you're already the dev and the publisher both, it's called self-publish.

They are working on this game you act like making a joke VN takes significant resources

Devs can contract a third party Publisher, like I dunno, let's say Chucklefish or Devolver Digital I think are both indie Publishers.

Basically, the Publisher does all of the Marketing and advertising and sales of the game for you.

I can't come up with a witty but not quite argumentative comment here

Congratulations, you win
Or at least, I lose
But does that really mean you win?
Maybe this is one of those battles where there is no winner, only despair

[novel sun]

It's written the same way you commonly say it. Just about everyone says "March 22nd," not "the 22nd of March." So we write 3-22 instead of 22-3

In other words, 22-3 is counterintuitive to common language

[drifting fjord]

I never thought of it that way, I usually just assume the shorter timeframe comes before the longer timeframes

Days, months then years, basically, rather than the way people tend to say it
But then again I say things way weirder than normal people, so usually I do say "day-of-month"
Actually just did it today getting a blood test, had to state my date of birth and said it that way

[teal iron]

No I think a lot of people in europe say 22 March when they write it out

[novel sun]

Doing it by time period length and by common speech both definitely make sense, just with different regards

[teal iron]

Or that's what I've been told

[drifting fjord]

I mean I came from europe so that checks out at least in my case, idk if australia adheres to it, probably does tbh

[novel sun]

In America we're too lazy to use "of;" we have to shorten everything

[junior hawk]

Efficiency is not lazy

[drifting fjord]

You removed one of the i's from aluminium

[teal iron]

You know when I first noticed that difference I thought the spelling without the i was the non-american way

Just like to this day I consider "sulphur" the correct spelling rather than "sulfur"

because the first time I really interacted with the word was in a starbound mod that used the british spelling to be consistent with the game itself using mostly british spellings

[drifting fjord]

I can't even remember which is the british spelling of sulfur/sulphur tbh

[novel sun]

I don't think I've ever seen it as sulphur

[junior hawk]

No the English came up with Aluminum and we just decided to go with that one.

[teal iron]

Sulfur is american

[junior hawk]

A weird way to spell correct

[static frigate]

👋

[teal iron]

Sulphur is correct

[teal iron]

yooo guys it's a cat named josh

[junior hawk]

Nuh uh bro

Sulfur is peak

[teal iron]

I'll do it,
Don't make me do it

[junior hawk]

You can’t mod away facts

[drifting fjord]

Huh so apparently england used aluminum but then thanks to some german chemist we use aluminium more often

[junior hawk]

Yeah you guys had 3 names for in total

[teal iron]

guess again nerd

{
  "DT_ItemNameText":{
    "ITEM_NAME_Sulfur":"Sulphur"
  }
}

[junior hawk]

These are the weird fun facts you learn while manufacturing aluminum

[junior hawk]

That’s gonna crash your game and corrupt your save files

Run it, I dare you

[lethal talon]

Does anyone know why palworld is making a dating sim and lovander body pillow

[glad needle]

Gooner fans

All the characters in the dating sim are pals and people that fans wanna fuck

There are fans who wanna fuck Splatterina! The serial killer pal!

[icy pecan]

Degenerates

[humble parrot]

April's Fools

[lethal talon]

people weird ash

The pals part makes it even worse

[humble parrot]

You can just not get it

[lethal talon]

Imagine its a april fools joke

[humble parrot]

Unless you feel obligated to have it

[glad needle]

Some people wanna fuck a Quivern.

[humble parrot]

OverProtector would get it if Wixen was an option

[glad needle]

Yea right. I dont fuck pals

[humble parrot]

Who said anything about fucking

" It's up to you whether you stay friends with the pals, develop romantic relationships with them, or even dismember and eat them."

There is nothing about sex there

Why are you looking for that specifically

[glad needle]

Because that’s the only reason people wanted something like this

Pocketpair knows that half of their audience is gooners

[peak folio]

Nooo, not #off-topic too

[humble parrot]

There isn't anything +18 in it

Yet you're complaining about it when it doesn't exist

#off-topic-memes message
Nasa used metric for that btw

Just like how you use it for guns, like 9mm for example

[icy pecan]

I don’t think it’s the fact that there is no 18+ in it
It’s more less in my opinion it encourages the “ pal love “ which encourages the degenerates to go further down the rabbit hole which makes it unlikeable by the people who just play the game to play it but have to constantly hear people wanting to fuck a katress

[humble parrot]

Are you forced to listen to them

[icy pecan]

In some chats you can’t avoid it

But not forced to listen

You can close the app obviously

[humble parrot]

Problem solved then

[icy pecan]

I personally don’t mind it if the dateable character was just the humans but I draw the line at bestiality

[humble parrot]

Is it bestiality when the creature isn't human but it's your classmate

If you marry an argonian/khajit in skyrim are you doing bestiality

[icy pecan]

If you pursure romantic relationship then yes

If not then no

[humble parrot]

Bestiality implies it's an animal

As opposed to human

[icy pecan]

Yeah and pals are animal.. that you can catch and battle with

[humble parrot]

Are they?

Never seen an animal make an assault rifle

Or a laser gatling gun

I think a more appropriate definition would be "creature"

[icy pecan]

I mean there is that one paldeck of robinquill that goes against my statement but from just a pure optical sense they are animals to me

[kindred sleet]

It's a damn game
If a person can goon to an electric socket then damn why we having this convo?

[humble parrot]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Jimmies rustled over optional experience

[teal iron]

They aren't animals they just share superficial similarity to animals

[glad needle]

They goon to that?! 💀

Wouldnt these fetishes kill you?

That's the point

[humble parrot]

That is also a fetish, killing

[kindred sleet]

Not gonna say anymore
Over is one of those unicorns on the net that is innocent

[glad needle]

And here I thought the guy who shot Ronald Reagan was crazy as a loon because his motive was trying to impress Jodie Foster

Because everyone knows murder easily gets women hot and bothered

[night plume]

Man tried to kill a sitting President, to impress a Hollywood actress, and we deemed him batshit insane

[icy pecan]

[humble parrot]

They are batshit insane, but it is also a fetish

[zinc depot]

I'll give you insane

I saw a woman's dating app profile saying she's looking for a good connection

I messaged her saying she should try putting a fork in a plug socket

[glad needle]

How did she respond to that

[zinc depot]

I dunno, she vanished from search results, guess I was blocked

[glad needle]

Eh, women do that a lot

[zinc depot]

I troll the apps anyway, can't take them seriously

[full mountain]

[frozen ginkgo]

I Wonder why No one has even made a Quivern Costume; like a Mascot costume or a Fursuit; I'm sure a lot of people would want to hug a Fluffy Angelic Dragon like Quivern. . .

I was so excited for this before Nintendo dumbass lawsuit.

We'll see what they have but... until PP wins. I don't think ill be supporting Nintendo

[silver pewter]

We so spoiled these days. Back in the 90's, we learned about new consoles from physical magazines. 😂

[inner dagger]

I didn't really have game consoles in the 90s, i bought a gbc in like 95, but my first home console was ps2

[silver pewter]

There would be in store ads of course for another way of being aware, but a magazine would still be the primary info.

[inner dagger]

I do remember reading Nintendo direct in our middle school library around 2000 about the GameCube

But Nintendo has only ever been portable consoles for me

[silver pewter]

You mean Nintendo Power?

[inner dagger]

[silver pewter]

Yeah, took about 2 minutes just to connect to the internet with Dial Up.

Oh, and took about 2 minutes just for the desktop to turn on.

So, you was easily 5 minutes in, just to even get online.

I remember watching commercials and writing down what I wanted from them for Christmas.

And there was this big toy magazine that came in the mail we would all circle what we wanted from and then had to choose what we wanted most after our dad made a list of everything xD

80/90 is a no for me

i ain't buying that

[royal shuttle]

Company sells luxury and non-essential goods, market has been in a recession for years, and decides to massively upcharge MSRP after players have been complaining about other companies doing the same for years.

Is Nintendo going to have a bad start to this generation like with the 3ds and Wii U because of their hubris again?

[solemn sable]

[tranquil obsidian]

no, because "it's okay when Nintendo does it" and everyone will buy anyway

[jaunty kraken]

regarding today's announcements:
I honestly didn't have any plans to buy the Switch 2, especially without any announcements of games that would have been personally hype for me, but with these prices there ain't no way I'm buying that 💀

Switch 2: $450
Switch 2 + Mario Kart digital: $500

isn't digital pricer than phys normaly?

[inner dagger]

Digital is cheaper or the same

Your paying to maintain a server rather than psying to make copies

[inner dagger]

And then since your a scummy consoke maker you charge to play online with the servers anyways

[peak folio]

Practically I don’t expect this to change.

[royal shuttle]

"Servers", which is peer to peer which they used to let players do for free back on the Wii and Wii U.

[inner dagger]

Just more EA shit

[peak folio]

If you want an eight year old Nintendo game you can more than likely get it pretty cheap physically, but digitally it’s still gonna be $60

[inner dagger]

Oh well i don't buy used anyways

[unborn mauve]

like if you actualy type "physical pricer than digital?" you always got result that say the opposite

[peak folio]

It doesn’t have to be used

Stores will just sell it less.

Or have sales regularly

Nintnedo might do up to 30% off like twice ever or something

Dat shipping premium

I saw somewhere saying it’s like ~$360 USD in Japan

Like 60,000 yen

that doesn’t quite work out but it’s in that ballpark

Oh nvm 50,000 yen

[peak folio]

Yeah it was in the stream but it reminds about it

Hm, so when the Switch 2 stream got jacked up on YouTube, the people streaming it on the Nintendo Today app allegedly had no issues.

[gloomy raven]

This Schedule I game is something else.

The developer knows how to make fun stuff!

HELL FUCKING YEAH!
(I will NOT be buying the Switch 2 anyways but it's a miracle that N*ntendo remembered thos games exist)

[jaunty kraken]

I already played them and on the Switch 2 it would be an emulated version of those games, which would be inferior than other emulations out there 😭

i sure love not buying modern games anymore, the last games that got that honor were Hylics, Hell Pie & Palworld

[peak folio]

Palworld being reasonably priced for a mass market piece of entertainment.

if they do innapropiate things with the game they might have to make a 2nd server wich has the restricted shit

[vale kiln]

30 euros here which is even less than a GBA game back then

[jaunty kraken]

there's very few games from AAA companies that would actually peak my interest

other than that, there's not much I'm interested in games atm

Nintendo has a plan to challenge Switch 2 scalpers. It's limiting its own preorders to Switch 1 owners that have an active Switch Online membership and have "spent a certain amount of time playing purchased / paid Nintendo Switch games, prioritizing those with more playtime."

april fools jumpscare

[jaunty kraken]

the other peak game that could be added to the NSO:

[silver pewter]

PPV fights. (Boxing, UFC, etc.)

[peak folio]

Comparing a packaged product to live events?

[silver pewter]

TCG Booster Box?

OOOOOO, damn Legos. LOL

Damn $200+ for a good set.

$400+ for the nice sets.

[novel sun]

The Direct was peak (until you look at the price tags)

They're definitely using the whole "Switch 2 version that has extra content" thing to try and quickly normalize $70 - $80 games

It's stupid that they're charging money for already-owned games to take advantage of the better hardware

[simple aurora]

Imagine $80 for a Pokémon game that doesn't offer the same kind of depth as Palworld.

Truly Nintendo big brain.

[novel sun]

The little bit of Z-A shown in the Direct did actually look polished performance-wise, but not $80 polished

[frozen bluff]

Remember that's just the digital version. Physical version is $90

[novel sun]

I've only seen rumors of the physical versions now being more expensive. Is there official confirmation of that?

I've also heard rumors that $80 is Mariokart's physical price and digital is $70, so a lot of uncertainty

[simple aurora]

It's confirmed $90 physical from what I heard.

[frozen bluff]

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/104400/nintendo-bumps-games-prices-digital-switch-2-at-80-physical-90/index.html

[simple aurora]

That's only in alpha or beta gameplay footage. Remember Cyberpunk 2077?

[novel sun]

Oh yeah I find it really funny that Cyberpunk is gonna be on the Switch 2

[simple aurora]

Cyberpunk on Switch 2 is basically PS4 / XB1 version.

[silver pewter]

Final Fantasy IV was $80 in 1991.

[novel sun]

You serious? Without some bundle or extras?

[simple aurora]

Because adjusted for inflation.

[silver pewter]

Yes, it was. Just the game itself, with the instruction manual. There was numerous $70 games too, such as Street Fighter Alpha 2, NBA Hang Time, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, etc.

[simple aurora]

But we don't talk about comparing prices then and now.

[silver pewter]

No, $187 adjusted for inflation.

There's receipts from B&M stores online, for proof. $80 USD in 1991, is $187.42 in 2025 money.

And even then, $80 being an extreme example. There was lots of $70 SNES and N64 games, just Google Toys R Us newspapers.

[leaden oriole]

Why did they put silksong in a compilation

[gray gulch]

Why are they charging money for a tech demo

[leaden oriole]

They are?

[novel sun]

Yeah. There's a "game" that basically just lets you read about and try out console features, and you have to pay for it

[gray gulch]

Switch 2 looks really cool, but Nintendo's getting greedy

[simple aurora]

As if the lawsuit against Palworld isn't bad enough...

[gray gulch]

Nah, that's not even the worst part. Because of this pricing, other companies are probably gonna get the same idea and make their games $80-$90

Gaming is gonna become a luxury

[simple aurora]

GTA6 for $100.
