@AbdallahNATION turns out physical games aren’t going up, only digital games will be cheaper x.com/wario64/status…

@AbdallahNATION Only time will tell. Will this mean pokémon winds and waves will be $70 digital and $80 physical? Hopefully they stay around the $60-$70 range, but Mario Kart World makes me believe that nintendo has no problem doing $80 for physical games.

Since 2012, Nintendo priced digital games the same as physical. 14 YEARS. Same price… minus manufacturing, shipping, and resale value. Now in 2026, digital is $60 instead of $70 & we’re calling that a deal? That’s not a discount. That’s overdue. What do you think?

@oracle_scrolls @zurgerific turns out he was wrong x.com/wario64/status…

@zurgerific Also Centro’s takes on stuff is often just wrong. Like a shit ton.

Nintendo: "The cost of physical games is not going up. "This means that when Nintendo sells digital versions of Nintendo published games exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 to consumers in the U.S., those prices will have an MSRP that is lower than their physical counterparts." ign.com/articles/ninte…

@graffiti_bot @Alexand84423783 @kingtrousers @nintendo_chall @anxious__twink @kaznius @NintendoAmerica yes but it’s FREE. people who just want to play competitive pokémon don’t need to buy the latest game to do so. i don’t understand why you choose to ignore this.

@james_cd1 @Alexand84423783 @kingtrousers @nintendo_chall @anxious__twink @kaznius @NintendoAmerica I honestly doubt anyone entering into the pokemon scene playing competitive battling was unable to. I’d argue he/she owned a DS/switch and a mainline game. So I don’t consider your point an issue with entry into the genre.

Get ready for #PokemonChampions, arriving April 8 on Nintendo Switch! Additionally, a free update for Nintendo Switch 2 owners will provide even clearer graphics. Add to your Wish List here: ninten.do/6017QtHpt

@graffiti_bot @Alexand84423783 @kingtrousers @nintendo_chall @anxious__twink @kaznius @NintendoAmerica i’d appreciate more examples of the cut content you think is exploitive, and maybe then I could understand your argument better. i don’t think an optional music track hurts the gameplay

@graffiti_bot @Alexand84423783 @kingtrousers @nintendo_chall @anxious__twink @kaznius @NintendoAmerica the market you critique is what allows the game to be free and accessible. i don’t see how this is at the expense of the mainline games. it keeps the competitive side free to everyone, which will make competitive open for a lot more players.

@graffiti_bot @Alexand84423783 @kingtrousers @nintendo_chall @anxious__twink @kaznius @NintendoAmerica yes i’m telling you it’s not exploitation if it barely changes the gameplay

@james_cd1 @Alexand84423783 @kingtrousers @nintendo_chall @anxious__twink @kaznius @NintendoAmerica Smh, explaining this someone that just accepts whatever slop they are given is too exhausting. And I have an EXAMPLE. Didn’t say anything about this being the only thing. Your comprehension right now is lacking. Try asking questions rather than arguing if you don’t understand.

@graffiti_bot @Alexand84423783 @kingtrousers @nintendo_chall @anxious__twink @kaznius @NintendoAmerica since the game is free, then there will be micro transactions, end of story. And if optional battle music is “exploitation” to you, then I don’t know what to say to that.

@james_cd1 @Alexand84423783 @kingtrousers @nintendo_chall @anxious__twink @kaznius @NintendoAmerica And I never mentioned nor insinuated that the game should be free. And yes, it is exploitation when you charge a premium for everything down to changing the battle music. Like I said before, I will never understand people who defend corporations that exploit their consumer base.

@pasdexcuses @Pricerrors Does that remove the benefits right away?

@Pricerrors Thank you! Cancelled immediately to not have auto renew on when it cancels next year.

Uber is giving out 1 year of Uber One for free Typically $100 Not sure how long this will last... go.blackboxfiles.com/uRgaV7 #ad

@graffiti_bot @Alexand84423783 @kingtrousers @nintendo_chall @anxious__twink @kaznius @NintendoAmerica it means that devs don’t work for free. they’re obviously going to add micro transactions, and that’s not exploitation.

@Alexand84423783 @kingtrousers @nintendo_chall @anxious__twink @kaznius @NintendoAmerica And that is suppose to mean what? A free game doesn’t give legitimacy to exploite your audience.

@graffiti_bot @Alexand84423783 @kingtrousers @nintendo_chall @anxious__twink @kaznius @NintendoAmerica it’s a free game.

@Alexand84423783 @kingtrousers @nintendo_chall @anxious__twink @kaznius @NintendoAmerica Your argument is….$20 dollars is cheap so who cares if they charge us. SMH I will never understand people who defend corporations whom exploits their consumer base.

@Kwikpanik @MikeVGC What about the battle camera? Not being forced to look at back sprites? Being able to walk in any direction? Character customization? Being able to see trainers in battle?

@MikeVGC 3D models are so bad. Also Battle Frontier?? Following Pokémon??

I don't want to be dramatic, but if you choose ANYTHING other than the DS lineup of Pokémon games, YOU'RE LITERALLY the silliest little guy EVER

@HiddenPowerPod I mean, he’s only feeling that way because we keep putting him in his place

Looking back on it, Hop was one of the best Pokémon rivals of all-time. His original goal was simply about being better than his big brother Leon, but he wasn't able to reach it so he decided to follow his own path 🫡

@khazarAntlers these replies say a lot about the pokémon community

I think it’s because I was still new to pokemon at the time so I had no idea what was going on

Is it an insane thing to say that the dexit barely bothered me ?

@kaetakara @ruggyscruggy Fair enough if the intro killed it for you, but ranking a game based on the first 10% while ignoring the stuff the game excelled at in the other 90% is weird

@james_cd1 @ruggyscruggy So? The beginning of the game was so bad, that is literally all I remember of the game. Nothing else is memorable to me because of the hours of suffering at the beginning. You aren't going to get me to change my mind on where I put it. Lmao.

performative as hell to put black and white at the bottom just bc of le bad dex and then put diamond and pearl in b tier

@kaetakara @ruggyscruggy That wasn’t all the game

@james_cd1 @ruggyscruggy Because all the game was was cutscenes and handholding and hours of tutorial garbage?

@kaetakara @ruggyscruggy how is sun and moon at F

@Geg708 @mirai_fanarts What about team star boss?

@mirai_fanarts The music isn't even above that good before Area Zero arrives

Pokemon SV

@Sirius_Sharpclw @FlopsieGaming @mirai_fanarts first open world pokémon game

@FlopsieGaming @mirai_fanarts Yes. The gimmicks are minimal. It's still the same back and forth gameplay.
