Two gamers have filed a class action lawsuit against Nintendo, alleging that the company will be unjustly enriching itself with any refund it secures from the U.S. government over widespread tariffs last year that, among other things, hiked the prices of Nintendo hardware and accessories.
“Unless restrained by this Court, Nintendo stands to recover the same tariff payments twice—once from consumers through higher prices and again from the federal government through tariff refunds, including interest paid by the government on those funds,” the suit states.
Nintendo: you know what? Fuck you. Our prices just went up for you. Games are $120 now. Fuck you, you’ll still buy our pokemon slop we spent 0 effort making. Mario? Yep, $120, but now when he jumps he says “fucka youuuu!” You’ll still buy it, because Mario.
I’ve been ootl on Pokemon since y/x, and even was barely paying attention before someone else bought it for me. But the shit I saw when sword shield(? First switch title) was wild. They really were just phoning it in, and people still bought everything else they dropped! The only reason I got a switch was for prime 4, and likely won’t be getting a switch 2. Sucks watching my nostalgia be abused in real time.
You can still enjoy the games you are nostalgic for with emulators.
I love how nintendo are switching our youths back towards old school tactics. Emulators and piracy are having their renaissance.
Never left for me. 😎
And I do sometimes, some community made ones and randomizers on occasion. It would just be nice to have something to look forward to when the used market becomes more affordable.
I got tired of the new games being shit and/or not done when. I think last game I bought new was No Man’s Sky (yes I know, its decent now, I still play it sometimes), after that disappointment I just gave up. I haven’t been paying attention on whats coming, whats the newest big game… I just play emulators. I play the games that I wanted to play when I was a kid, but couldn’t. My gaming journey started with Amiga 500, then I got a NES, after that a Game Gear, then a Play Station 1. So I’ve been gaming a lot of SNES stuff lately, I downloaded a bunch of Atari titles. Sega games are next on the list.
Theres so much to play, I will die before I run out of stuff. I think I’ll never buy a new game ever again.
I quit gaming. It’s in a shitty state so why bother?
Gaming is better than ever, what are you talking about? So many good Indie games. If you have a mid range desktop pc from the past decade, there’s a whole world of games to play. You’ll never be able to play them all! Just forget about the AAA games. Fuck those.
