Of course there’s going to be one eventually, but if they’re implying it’s coming very soon that actually raises questions. Donkey Kong Bananza looks to have been developed by the team that did Odyssey, so if a 3D Mario was being developed in parallel, I’m curious who was on that project.
I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus two years ago and liked it so much I wish I’d bought a more expensive model with analog sticks. I keep looking at all the shiny new stuff on the market and feeling the temptation to upgrade, but holding off because something better is always around the corner.
Well, guess I no longer have to worry about temptation now.
Is this a law that specifically only applies to AAAs, or are we just shutting down literally all of indie gaming? If the former, how do you legally draw the line between who is and isn’t allowed to release digital-only titles? Even just basing it on the size of the company would effectively mean that large publishers may only release large projects and never smaller budget titles.
It really just seems to me like you want to argue, but I’m not sure why you chose me to argue with. All I said was that they can’t raise or drop the price of the console, and I dunno why that’s the comment that set you off.
I said that they can’t drop the price of the console and they can’t raise the price of the console either. What does this have to do with what I said?
I think that you’re doing that annoying internet argument thing, because you’re not actually replying to what I said here.
We’re talking about the console.
Given the outcry over the price, I think they have no choice but to eat the loss. They can’t drop the price, but they can’t raise it either. They’ll just have to hope that they can bring down manufacturing costs over time.
Very unlikely that they even could drop the price with the tariff situation.
I may be stretching the definition of cancelled a bit because we don’t know if it was ever in development to begin with, but I will forever have a chip on my shoulder about Puyo Puyo 30th Anniversary.
The three best games in the series were Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary (2006), Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary (2011), and Puyo Puyo Chronicle (2016, this game is 25th in all but name). None of these games were released outside of Japan, but after Puyo Puyo Tetris’s Switch port got localized in 2017 and sold really well, fans had high hopes that the pattern would continue and the next one of these would get localized too.
The pattern did not continue. Instead, Sega responded to PPT selling well by making Puyo Puyo Tetris 2. It’s literally the exact same as the first game, only much buggier. It’s a terrible game and I hate it.
To this day, we still have not gotten a proper mainline game. In fact, Sega just announced they’re rereleasing Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S as a Switch 2 launch title. This is all the series will ever be from now on.
Sounds like that is what they’re doing

I can’t tell if you were intentionally trying to mislead, but you know that this discourse was never about CAD, right? You know that the article is discussing USD, right?
It’s not nitpicking to say that you’ve been misleading, whether intentionally or not.
That’s CAD, the article in the OP was about USD.
Switch 1 games are not $80.
They do not sell SNES and N64 games for $80, no. You know those are on the NSO app already, right?
Look, if you wanna be mad that Mario Kart World is $80, that’s fair to be mad at. But you don’t gotta make up misinformation.
I thought we were talking about Switch 2 games?
But then you still have to buy the game.
If I have to pay $80 for Kirby Air Ride 2, I will pay $80 for Kirby Air Ride 2. I have waited 22 years for this game, there’s never been anything else like it.
I know that I’m one guy, and my purchasing decisions ain’t gonna change nothin’. But I still try to vote with my wallet as much as I can in order to feel like I’m doing the right thing. I’m the guy old-fashioned enough to still only buy native Linux games because I don’t like the idea of replacing official support with just hoping Proton happens to work, knowing full well that this replacement happened long ago and I am too late to turn back the clock. And I’ve got a whole list of publishers I will never buy from under any circumstances.
I will never ever ever spend money on gacha, because if I don’t know what I’m buying then I’m not buying it. Even putting aside the ethical concerns, that’s just a stupid purchase.
But I have a lot of nostalgia for TF2, and I don’t know how to reconcile that. They kinda got away with sneaking in gacha before we realized how evil this is. I haven’t touched the game in a long time anyway, but if the Heavy Update ever saw the light of day (it won’t) or even if they just brought back rd_asteroid (even more not happening), I’d be very tempted and I dunno what I’d do.
There are two gacha games I still play, without spending any money on, while knowing what a hypocrite I am for playing them. Mahjong Soul and Riichi City. They’re the two most populated Riichi Mahjong clients - it’s either these or Tenhou, but Tenhou isn’t in English, hasn’t been updated in a long time, paywalls a number of features behind a subscription model, and is steadily losing players to its competitors. If a new client with an ethical business model took off I’d switch in heartbeat, but I can’t imagine one would ever take off to a point where I could queue at any time of day and get high-ranking opponents at my level. So I’m kinda stuck with these.
This account is Mbin rather than Lemmy, and I’ve got another account on a Pleroma server for my microblogging. Thinking of trying Piefed, some of its features sound promising and it looks like development is going pretty rapidly, I may end up switching off Mbin.
