I was prepared to stop purchasing new consoles if the makers decided to go digital-only or if they required an internet connection to play purchased games (see the recent PSN outage preventing players from playing completely offline physical games). I have hundreds of unplayed games to fall back on. Similarly if tariffs skyrocket the Switch 2’s retail price, then I will wait it out. And if the Switch OG is the last console I buy in my lifetime, so be it. That backlog of mine needs to go on a diet.

I may be the luckiest git of them all. Secured the preorder for the MM 3DS console from Best Buy, after it released Walmart had a $20 off deal for it. I went back to my Best Buy to price match it. The girl behind the counter was struggling to honor it, called over a supervisor to confer, he gave her the approval, all the while I stood there wondering why it was taking so long…
The girl thought the WM deal was the 3DS for $20 total, not $20 off. The supervisor agreed with her and I walked out of the store very happy that day.

Re: Feature: "I Was Seeing Him In My Dreams" - Nintendo Veteran Just Can't Shake Shigeru Miyamoto
Man, that headline, at first glance, had me thinking Miyamoto-san had passed. I’m glad that isn’t the case, we already lost Iwata-san way too soon.
