@rjejr "Thirty-nine states, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia have statutes or regulations that define price gouging during a time of disaster or emergency."
The tariffs aren't an "emergency situation"
I'm an economics major, and a tariff is a marginal cost increase which means that the cost of making one more unit increase (since Nintendo has to pay the tariff for each unit it ships over)
Nintendo decided to make the consumers pay for the tariff by increasing the price (like 80% of companies do)
The court ruled that the tariffs that Trump placed were illegal, so nintendo can decrease the price of products (although thanks to the iran war that probably won't happen)
People should really stop pointing fingers at Nintendo when the real culprit is Trump and his voters who don't know what a tariff does.
The only illegal thing was the tarifs that Trump made that Nintendo had to pay.
Nintendo passed that cost onto consumers (as most corporations do) and most of them agreed to food the cost (the ones who didn't just didn't buy the products)
We all want refunds from Nintendo, but one of the first things I learned in my high school economics class was if a consumer buys a product, their marginal benefit is equal to the price. Those people who couldn't handle the price increase just didn't buy the products. It isn't Nintendo's fault, it's the US government's fault. Nintendo isn't going to break the laws of economics just to appease it's fan base.
I really don't mind remakes because it prevents good games from becoming too outdated. I would love to see an HD2D remake of Earthbound Beginnings / Mother 1 or the First Zelda. Nintendo has such a great catalog of retro games to revive but it's just sitting there!
@Anti-Matter
Why don't you like crossovers?
The sonic crossover for this game was so cool especially since it's free. It was funny seeing sonic all over some random hospital. Gotta go fast because I didn't pay my medical bills!
@BentIeyma it's probably because Mario kart world and dk Bananza were originally intended to be switch games but we're moved to switch 2 because the switch 1 wasn't powerfully enough
It would have been a 9 or a 10 if it wasn't for leakers! (And nl posting spoilers on the front page)
Third party support was amazing.
First party support depends on whether the Xenoblade upgrades are actually nice or more similar to the x definitive edition upgrade.
Edit: turns out the Xenoblade upgrade was good, hooray!
Haha they got what they deserved, my 2 pairs of drifted joy cons have been avenged!
Only downside is that now the grifters on YouTube are gonna have a field day.
Man I really want to play fatal fury, but I do not wanna support the terrible Saudi Arabian royals who abuse their workers. I wish there was more awarness on the issue.
I misread the headline as "Nintendo takes Mario to court"
"Eh mama mia, I a-didn't do anything wrong! Mario just a-worked as an actor for their a-video games and they didn't even a-pay me a real wage they just a-give me spaghetti!'
I wish they would bring XIII to switch🙏
Is this a good MMORPG for somebody who has never tried the genre?
I won't be able to afford a switch 2 until after the free trial period is over but I'm interested by all the positive things I've heared.
@AussieMcBucket Unfortunately they would have waited to annonce the release date for Yoshi and the mysterious book during the direct if there was gonna be one 😭😭😭😭 Or Nintendo is just being weird in which case I would gladly accept a new direct

Re: Splatoon Raiders' User Scores Are Off To A Splashing Start On Metacritic
@eldersnake
If I were you I would start with the campaign mode of Splatoon 3 (or Splatoon 2 if you can find a cheap copy)
But then again it doesnt really matter since a ton of people have played Splatoon raiders ad their first game and loved it so.... Do what you want!

Most discontent was from a small but vocal minority of people on the internet.
Most people just see Mario kart, buy it, enjoy it and don't think think much of it.
Re: Dragon Quest XI S Switch 2 Version Estimated File Size Revealed
I hope they release a switch 2 version for fin fantasy 7 crisis core! (Hopefully with an upgrade path but you know square they would never do that)

Re: PSA: New Knockout Tour Rallies Are Now Available In Mario Kart World
@boxyguy
Probably not unless you play couch multiplayer a bunch or have 100s of hours in mk8dx and still want more.
Out of the three switch 2 exclusives I've played MKW is probably the least fun, I prefer Drag x Drive and Star Fox
Re: UK Charts: Star Fox Barrel Rolls To The Top And Grabs The Gold Medal
