Yeah, things costing more sucks, but the difference in being healthy and unhealthy is your blood pressure rising because Mario Kart costs $20 more on release. When someone has a mortgage, a relationship, possibly kids, work, loans, etc it's really hard to care that much beyond eye rolling at yet another price increase in a hobby they spend maybe a couple hours a week doing. They won't be buying any of this anyway, not for years. The people who get super angry over hobbies are the people who have nothing else to fulfill them in life as I said. Subsequently they also are the early adopters and have to buy everything on release even after rage pigging online about whatever the drama was. Let's be real
There's a nice middle ground between people who barely interact with the hobby and people who obsess over it and between people not caring at all and having their blood pressure rise that I think you're rather intentionally ignoring.
People can shoot the shit about stuff and call stuff retarded without it being the entirety of existence. Some people just enjoy ranting about stuff they think is stupid. All you've done here is outed yourself as the one who, in fact, cares way too much about Nintendo. Nintendo is not going to touch your peepee.
I love the tariffs fucking Nintendo. They outsource from China to Vietnam to avoid them and Vietnam ends up getting hit harder than China. They delay the release by nearly a year in hopes that the yen rebounds but it doesn't and instead their system gets hit with a massive import duty.
Those people are fine, what's to address? I'm talking about people who you can tell are at risk of a stroke by reading their posts. I care about stuff too, but I don't let negativity grow into anything more than an eye roll when it comes to hobbies, usually. I like guns, so when one of my hobbies can make me a felon overnight via a new law being passed, yeah that's something to truly care about. Might even get my blood pressure up a bit for a time. Gamers tend to have no perspective for how reasonably well their hobby has it in terms of price for hours of use, and variety of experiences, and talk very melodramatically about negative happenings compared to other groups. Much like moviebob and his own personal Vietnam 9/11.
I fear this, even if I personally dislike the current direction of the series just being a glorified roster. You know the second Sakurai is out, Smash will end up like all of its clones, trying to be a recreation of Melee for hardcore fans.
The problem with this is the 3rd party contracts. Smash Ultimate is a bit of a miracle child that came about at the right time. For the future of the series, I worry that many won’t play ball even out of pure retardation and not just money. Square is the biggest offender as I have no idea how Nintendo will convince them to release 4 characters on the cartridge for a rerelease. Microsoft is another that may be worrying given how wild they are in the industry right now. Konami is always questionable and SEGA thinks they can beat Mario currently, so no idea if they will play nice.
Would personally like a full reboot. Probably an unpopular stance, but the heart of the series really died somewhere between Brawl and Wii U. Would love for them to go back to Brawl in terms of campaigns and general respect/preservation of Nintendo history. Ultimate really wore me out with the nothing single player and way over abundance of emphasis on just having big roster and tons of different companies IPs.
Considering I'm into guns too, you're preaching to the choir. In fact I'd say talk to any gun owner about certain companies and you'll hear the same complaints about companies continually raising prices as the quality kept getting worse. The poor 870 suffered the most from this.
Alright, then tell me where I can download a Switch 2 emulator. I'll wait.
Have you ever modded a console made after 2004? If anything, dumping digital games is easier than physical.
>"I-I'm not obsessed, YOU'RE obsessed!"
Nintendo's EU website said it in euros and usually game titles are kept at dollar/euro parity. Eventually costs will rise so much that differentiating them, as they do with pounds, but I don't think we're there yet.
Take your propaonlol. it'll be okay. you can find a discount RX card and it'll help you afford the extra $20 for Mario kart.
Just going back to remind you that the Famiboard component leaks were entirely accurate, as I stated.
You don't understand, Nintendo only makes a 7 digit number income from Pokémon alone, they need to charge you 80 dollars for a series they've been doing since 1998 or they'll go broke.
I don't know why I'm going to bat for this idea because I'm unlikely to buy any game like this but:
yeah but i've purchased game(license)s with a 50 dollar msrp for 10 bucks during their sales. nintendon't do that.
