@BAN They sold out and will sell out again.
It's not that expensive($200) and people cover their desks at work or at home with the stuff. $200 is a nice dinner out for a couple with professional jobs. Which they aren't doing right now.
Lego is targeting that market like crazy and for good reason.

Ok kids, where is the NES?
That top loader.

Either way this company is dead.
I hope everyone finds new racing games soon.

Nintendo now branding console for a port.

Please for the love of all that is holy, make the next one for a new game.

@BAN How much did they make off the first one? Now multiply by the rest of these.

The LEGO nintendo stuff is super profitable.

@Al_Godoy Good luck with that. These things were designed to be collected, which means you aren't close to the only one doing that. No rarity down the road will mean limited value.
You want to collect something that most users destroy and as such there aren't many left.

@BAN The market is for more of these kinds of lego collaborations. Clearly there is demand for duck hunt and contra that nintendo isn't meeting.

@doctorhino Not at all. I am just pointing out that Nintendo could have served the market and chose not to. So now these will be sold instead. Legitimate or not matters very little in the grand scheme of things. If there is a demand there will be someone selling that product.

Well if there is a market and you don't serve it, someone else will.

It started when they realized suckers would pay full price while they didn't have to provide costly physical carts. So they get to pocket the difference and do less work.

Oh yeah, that will totally work and get these things off the internet.

I sure hope Nintendo's lawyers enjoy their new boats, because nothing else of value is going on here.

@Clammy Why? If you have two or more bluetooth remotes with IR on half, you have perfectly good sources of random.

@Batty5 Very affordable to.$50 for one that uses an avalanche effect on diodes. Which is going to be as random as radioactive decay. You can also find APIs that give you access to someone else's hardware RNG. Either way proper randomness is doable in a very small and cheap package, something like the switch can do it internally, or at least with it's periphials.

@Clammy Maybe in MP1, later than that I would hope they were using noise from periphials.

@Ralek85 You seemed to suggest it was a disney thing.
People are a large group, some of them prefer one some the other.

@nessisonett No, that's not how it works. Please go read about modern random number generation.
As I said Dice are an old method, that has those issues.

@nessisonett There are absolutely hardware random number generators, that are truly random. These hardware random number generators often use radioactive decay. Seeding by a clock isn't that common anymore for pseudo-random, maybe 20 years ago. Now it is done by input timing, noise on a radio, random environmental noise is fed into an entropy pool then those are used as seeds.

That you can influence dice is a bug not a feature.

@nessisonett Dice rolls are supposed to be random. Dice are a very old form of random number generation. Control over a dice roll would be a bug not a feature in real life. It means something is wrong with the dice or the surface being used.

Again, since it is random it doesn't matter if they generate it a little early.

@HerroThar Why is that worse? Why does it matter when the random numbers are generated, so long as they are new for each game/round?

@Baker1000 For me they never had voices growing up and my head created one reading the dialog. I want to keep using that method.

@Ralek85 Into the Spiderverse isn't Disney.

I don't like the voice acting, but instead of harassing her, I just mute it. Seemed easier at the time.

Risk COVID for this? No.

@Azuris Quake is totally different and way to fast for today

@HotGoomba___Rebrand So charge more for physical. I gladly pay it. Limited run can testify to this.

@Giygas_95 Sure, but that's not DOOM

Will it include a physical release?

@TG16_IS_BAE That's the entire point of PC gaming. You might as well go get a playstation.

So are they just pretending the original need for speed never was released? This is need for speed rebooted remastered.

@TG16_IS_BAE Oh wow an ancient video game system, amazing.
The specs are not great compared to a gaming desktop.
You are being silly and wasting money to play games in a worse way.

@TG16_IS_BAE Laptops are not for gaming, good luck with VR or 4k on that silly thing. Alien-ware is just Dell.

What I am getting at is modern cards are all sold out. A 3060 is a midrange card. Buying an old model GPU right now would be braindead.

@TG16_IS_BAE Please find me an RTX3080, RTX3060 or RTX3070 or an AMD RX 6800 series. A laptop for gaming, please don't make such silly jokes.

I will be more than happy to pay MSRP for any of those cards, so please let me know when you can ship me one.
I of course don't want to buy outdated hardware after the new stuff ships, that would be ridiculous.

@TG16_IS_BAE Since you can't get any new GPU, good luck with that building a PC. Nvidia and AMD are all sold out, just as bad if not worse than the PS5/Xbox X situation.

I hope there is a single player mode.

Only because there was inventory to buy.

@TheFullAndy The status quo is months late and no physical release.

@Tibob Don't worry in less than a decade you will be without the game just like those who wanted a cart.

If you guys like the status quo, that's fine.
Apparently asking for more is insane.

@TheFullAndy By suggesting nintendo go after money and customers?

@Razer Nintendo can open the walled garden up and I will stop blaming them for their decisions. Since they won't be making them anymore.

@Razer They clearly don't need to force anyone to show up.

@Razer No, you nutcase. Read what I wrote.
They write contracts and as such can dictate terms.

@Razer It is their walled garden. They are in total control of it.

@Razer Nintendo is charging more for less than every other platform. They are cutting off a whole consumer base. Not smart.

Show you proof that contracts exist? Really?
Nintendo could require all the games to include mario if they wanted. They can put just about anything in there.

@Razer Nintendo certainly could have such requirements. That they don't for AAA games is very lazy.

You seem to believe that the current catastrophe is unchangeable.

@westman98 No, you also have to be approved by Nintendo. Nintendo approves or denies publishers all thetime.

@kobashi100 No major game today would walk over that. They might raise the price a tiny amount, but that's about it.

@westman98 They absolutely do. They do not allow anyone to publish software without approval. Go try it.

@TheFullAndy Nintendo loses. That was my point.
Bethesda wins less. $20 is way less than $60.

@Razer The switch is a walled garden. Nintendo has complete control over what is published for it.
