Okay most pics from the production are questionable but this one turned out quite nice

@ShyLinku @BoundaryBreak Blockbuster was a thing back then

Being a gamer since the 90s and seeing how companies execute 10 year plans; here's how i speculate this will go:
Step 1: Over Price games.
Step 2: Make Digital games artificially cheaper. (We are here)
Step 3: Get majority users to buy digital.
Step 4: Abandon physical next generation since majority audience has been conditioned to purchase digitally. Expect cope comments like
"Who needed physical anyway? Digital has been the cheaper option for awhile now"
Step 5: Over Price Digital games.
Step 6: Check Mate. You no longer have a free market to trade or buy or sell preowned games. And now the market value of video games is 100% in the hands on the corporations.
Younger people wont even question it. It'll be a culture ingrained in their childhoods.

Nintendo announced that starting with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, digital and physical games will have different prices: "Beginning in May 2026, and starting with preorders for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, new Nintendo published digital titles exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 will have an MSRP that is different from physical versions. Nintendo games offer the same experiences whether in packaged or digital format, and this change simply reflects the different costs associated with producing and distributing each format and offers players more choice in how they can buy and play Nintendo games. As always, retail partners set their own prices for physical and digital games, and pricing for each title may vary." Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is $69.99 physical & $59.99 digital. en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/de…

@sloth__tv @BoundaryBreak Which makes it all the more impressive they're being sold for less than they were in the 90s!
English
@ShyLinku @BoundaryBreak have you ever looked at a chart of game development costs going into the PS2 era lol and then PS3 it became like 100x more costly to make one game

@MeghanMcCain A humble background is great for being a representative of the people, it's odd when leading an executive agency.... unless you fill in a lot of relevant experience in between
Like if Biden had picked AOC as his Treasury secretary.... Odd
English
I don’t get it - it’s a flex AOC was a bartender but it’s a negative Markwayne was a plumber?
You are such a hack.
CJ Pearson@Cjpearson
Jimmy Kimmel: "Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was plumber. That's right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now." The elitism of Hollywood summarized in one moment. 👇

@NecroC @BoundaryBreak Right, and if you found a game for $31 in 1994 you'd think it was a good deal.
English
@ShyLinku @BoundaryBreak In 1997 $31 was $31,you don't buy shit now and think about inflation rates in 30 years.
The games cost more argument is so retarded because it's built on lies. And before you post a Canadian ad for $80 snes games, remember that a cart has more parts than a cd that has none

@mattyglesias Why is the Secretary of Education talking about this dawg
English
The Department of Education has been taken over by GameBoy denialists

In 2005, everything changed! The "PlayStation Portable" (PSP) was released and it did more than make gaming portable...it made entertainment personal, mobile, and always within reach. It was the beginning of life on the go.

@BringBackBanjoK BOTW is literally the closest game to the original Zelda there is
English
Actual missed opportunity from Nintendo to not make BOTW a new IP. There’s almost no Zelda DNA in the game. No OST, no structure, no story, full voice acting, the main character costume isn’t Link’s. Change the name of the map and the two heroes and there’s nothing of Zelda left.
J. Y. Song@Critical_Scribe
Here’s a spicy take: If someone made a game almost exactly like Breath of the Wild but it wasn’t labeled as a Zelda game, it would have gotten 7-8/10s across the board due to a lack of story, weak dungeons, and weapon degradation. I wouldn’t have given it that, and I actually LOVE both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, but people let Zelda “get away” with a lot more than other games and it gets to be a bit much to hear at times. If something is not very good in one game, slapping it into the Zelda world doesn’t magically make the thing good. This goes for any Nintendo property btw.

@CentroLeaks I mean, flash memory is suddenly way more expensive in 2026. Would you prefer they raise the cost on digital games as well for no good reason?
English
It’s over: Nintendo has announced that starting in May new physical games will get more expensive in the Americas.
This was already a thing in Europe where physical games are usually 10 euros more expensive.
Pokémon Winds and Waves $80 physical (or more) all but confirmed now.
English
@MarkReedUK @BeatemupsWood I mean flash memory prices have been skyrocketing if you haven't noticed
English
@BeatemupsWood Plastic costs more now, because oil (won't say why as enough about that online already) 😎
English
Great news! So digital will be getting cheaper! … right? …… right Nintendo?

@Stealth40k Okay so they're officially trying to make GameStop go out of business huh
Not saying that's a bad thing; was probably inevitable regardless

Okay everything about this war is horrible but this was genuinely funny
CSPAN@cspan
Q: "Why didn't you tell U.S. allies…about the war before attacking Iran?" President Trump: "We wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"
