Re: Opinion: I'm Happy amiibo Survived The Console Jump, But These Unlocks Are Getting Silly

How and what Amiibos is bought or owned or traded is up to each individuals to decide. There are buy for this game and collectors and those people buy because they like them. Like buying all the Zelda Amiibos series. Whether they leave the in the box or out of the box is how often you use them in the game. But End of the Day it's each their own what they buy single pieces or buy for Collectors to have displayed. Buy or not Buying there is nothing wrong.

Re: GameStop Kicks Off 2026 By Reportedly Shutting "Hundreds" Of Stores

This is roughly ten times its current value at $9.3 billion, so it's a pretty wild target. The announcement clarifies that Cohen "receives no guaranteed pay—no salary, no cash bonuses, and no stock that vests simply over time", with the compensation being entirely "at-risk".
Here's the part not said no one or anyone can verify any of this? Where are the portfolio if this is so true??? This is all PR talk from his lawyers...feeding the trough and anyone just lick the stick up and down.

Re: Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period

larausjarod

Man the Hatin is so big here. No one told you to buy Switch2 that was your choice. MP4 was also on Switch1 or did one forget this part? When people use Switch XL that tells the level of Rot that is going on. The Economies are hurting all sales but for some inexplicable reason Nintendo is the only one doing badly in sales numbers that aren't even remotely close to what NintenDoomed fandom thinks. People need to get off their high horse and do some reality checks about the State of Economies to see the Real Factors that affects all Consoles and Gaming system. But if you just listen to their EchoChambers you thought it was only Nintendo.

@LEGEND_MARIOID Yet as stated by you guys:

"The Switch 2 is doing remarkably well, then, and has already nailed the record as the fastest-selling console of all time."

So it's just a case of the economies being poorer IMO with regard to cost of living. Also S1 is still well supported.

This is the Disconnect people thinking it's only Nintendo says alot.

Re: Nintendo Switch's Hulu App Will Be Discontinued Next Month

larausjarod

Why am I not surprised...they wanted money just like YouTube...so why.... You all have your SmartPhone, Laptops, Ipad, Tablets, Desktop that can stream and do that already. Plus if you want ads-free you will have to pay for it. So there, why should I waste subscriptions fees for something that is for Gaming Console???? And I already have Family NOA for all to enjoy.

Re: Feature: "It's Huge For Us" - Devs Talk Switch 2 Reactions, Dev-Kit Disparity, Future Plans

larausjarod

DevKits always will help move games faster towards Switch2 cycle regardless. Unless they can show to Nintendo Ninja they can protect and insure that they can do it that's the bottom line. Getting DevKits doesn't mean they will get a game for Switch2. So there are backroom dealing/NDA most of us here will never hear or will they ever tell us because of NDA. So unless someone has a Uncle in Nintendo majority of us will have no clue to the inner working to get a Nintendo DevKits beyond what they can even say to the public from the Devs.

Re: Switch 2's Mario Kart World Bundle Has Apparently Reached The End Of Its Lifecycle

larausjarod

Remember that is GameStop Memo not a Nintendo Memo or PR Memo. If it came from that latter that would be different. GameStop isn't the only seller of Switch2. Now that Amazon is in the game...they could switch(Pun) their sales to Amazon Online as they have bigger presence world wide. So why does a memo from GameStop tell Nintendo what it can and can't do with Switch2 bundle???? Someone Please tell me you Got a Uncle in Nintendo here????

Re: Talking Point: Does It Bother You That Big Games Companies Are Using GenAI?

larausjarod

There's AI all around us people. Your searching uses AI to a extent. And if a Game Devs uses AI to help with QC and Game Improvements I say go for it. Just say your using AI to help with game Improvements. That's all that they need to do to insure they are transparent AI helps the Programmer to make update and changes to improve gameplay and performances. I say AI is around us already trying to say otherwise is just the StrawMan talking here.

Re: Nintendo Has A Game-Key Card Alternative In The Works With Smaller Switch 2 Carts

larausjarod

@EAFB1999 Absolutely, chip makers have $ signs in their eyes knowing an artificial shortage would bring in big money.
Another Elephant in the Room they know exactly what they are doing this isn't no surprise here.
So far my reading here no one on here can still explain what the 64 prices or bulk prices are? And no one here can give exact dollar cost of Switch2 carts either 64gb, 16gb or 32gb if they exist? So people are rambling but no one can even give the dollar figures here? This is what I find disingenuous about all this talk GKC vs Physicals cart. No ONE here has so far provide Dollar figure for single or bulk prices for anyone to know what or where about this is. So if people are going to rambling about GKC vs Physical cart, provides those dollar figures for all to see? Not assumptions..

Re: Rumour: A Game-Key Card Alternative? Nintendo May Have Smaller Switch 2 Carts In The Works

larausjarod

@EAFB1999 To me, another issue that goes hand-in-hand with GKC is the lack of a mSD Express card greater then 1TB. The games are getting bigger and its impossible to fit everything, old and new, on a 1TB card (for me at lest).

And there lies the Elephant in the Room that isn't being addressed.
Nintendo most likely stocked up on hardware and chips. They aren't like some people like to dream one day go oh let's make a Switch2. This is planned and to say they didn't have inventory already? That is a laughable joke to those thinking they are Nintendo. You invest to have a stronge Inventory on hand. Any business not doing that will fail overnight.

Re: The US Suffered Its Worst November Since 1995 In Terms Of Hardware Sales

@johnedwin we are living in difficult economic times..
This is what the article doesn't consider. I watched some BlackFridays over here and they were crickets...so that is telling. The economy doesn't give buyers options to spend and when they do it not going to be alot. It's not just Nintendo but the article makes it the sole story. That just a shame I would say....
