For a degree of perspective on the direct impact of these new tariffs, Bill Murphy of Toy Otter Toys made the decision to cancel the Kickstarter campaign for Longbox Heroes Wave 2. Core reason cited was price increase they would have to factor in, pushing per figure pricing over $40 (with a LOT...

From the half assed research I've done...the specs would put the relative gaming capability on par with an Xbox Series S. But portable. Edit: An Nvidia Blog about the system, citing "10x increase in power over the original" which would put the system's docked performance around an Xbox Series...

Links still work. I don't know WHY it formatted like that, though. Probably something because of reddit.

Here's some in real Freedom dollars, not those Maple bucks :p And again, I had a local retailer (Shopko) which was selling one of the final N64 games (Mickey's Speedway) for $79.99

A glorious realization occurred to me… The Switch 2 has, basically, a mouse. Hamster is releasing Ridge Racer as an Arcade Archive 2 title. That was made by Namco who also made Time Crisis. Could we get a port of Time Crisis using the Switch 2 mouse mode?! Oh Lordy, bring on the light gun...

Odyssey IS getting an “update”, but it seems more akin to a software boost to “smooth out” the game. The free updates feel like simple performance buffs and compatibility with online features. The Paid updates feature significantly more elements, like the enhanced graphics and extra content.

Unless you bought them at Walmart. They'd been undercutting everyone by $10 for YEARS. It was only late 2023 that Walmart actually started to price new Switch games to MSRP.

Man, some of the kids posting on this makes me feel old...And some have some skewed memories of gaming pricing. The price jump was less surprising to me than it being NINTENDO being the first to step across the line. But... I remember the shock from my parents seeing a $65 price tag on...

Not yet. Like LastMaximal said, I think the reissues/package refresh is more reflective of a good business sense. We'll probably not see THIS issue reflect on Transformers products until next year. I'm not overly familiar with international shipping, but it's possible Hasbro might have...

Not to get into P&R territory too much...but new tariffs were announced. While Hasbro has diversified its manufacturing base over the past couple decades, they are now looking at a 54% tariff rate on products from China, and a whopping 49% (3% current rate, plus 46% "reciprocal rate" announced...

Eh, depends on how well the system sells and other factors. I know the PS4 got a price bump in some regions several years ago because of similar issues, but they opted not to push it in the US or Japan

Yeah, not to get into P&R territory, but a big reason I'm suspecting for the $450 console and $80 Mario Kart price is that Nintendo IS factoring in current...issues...into their pricing. Probably why we haven't seen any price cuts for the original Switch console as well. They sold the original...

Nintendo did release a chart of games with "start up issues" on the Switch 2: https://media.nintendo.com/switch-2/pdf-compatibility_issues_EN.pdf There are a few high profile entries there, particularly Doom Eternal. An eclectic range, so I'm assuming a number of those can be addressed with...

OK, so, lots to unpack here. I think part of the reason I wasn't left as enthused as I probably could have been was due to the length of the Direct. Frankly, I think Nintendo could have split things up and maintained some real hype going into June. But anyway... I'm impressed with the...

The reveal left me colder than I expected. While Nintendo did drop a few MASSIVE titles...a significant part of the Direct felt too much like "stuff you can already play for cheaper elsewhere, finally on a Nintendo system!". And while not mentioned, a LOT of the partner reveals are going to...

And the art also showed Star Optimus in a very Powermaster-esque design :p. And again, there’s the infamous story of how the design team hadn’t decided on the leader gimmick of Power of the Primes when they made Powermaster Optimus Prime a Titan Master. And with precedent of Alpha Trion...

Seems a bit premature when many of us are still placing odds on him not living through this one (be it natural causes or “otherwise”)

A couple notes and theories: -Evan Brooks Confirmed that Vector Prime will be making an appearance in 2026 to complete this “set” of 13. My belief is that he’ll end up a retool of Alpha Trion based on the likelihood that Alpha Trion will get a Starship mode as seen in numerous sources over the...

If you think this is unexciting, just check out the Studio Series leaks, lol I’m still expecting Nexus to be a sort of “self contained combiner” like the Street Action Team or Infernicus.
