Universal is planning a theme parc in Bristol, UK. Hopefully that'll include a Mario section. Would save me a trip to Japan or the US as the kids keep nagging me about going there.
I've had a CRT tv stowed away in the attic for a couple of years now, waiting for renovation works to end and enough stuff to have been moved around so I could place it under our living room TV. Today was the day. I brought it down (heavy motherfucker), cursed when it dawned on me it was heigher than I had expected, neccessitating that I move all my GC, Wii and WiiU games, and put it in the cabinet. I switched it on and was greeted by a disconcerting buzz that doesn't seem to go away. I'll try blowing some pressurized air through it later to see if I can get rid of the buzz. If not I fear I'll just have to toss it out.
He says that Nintendo will have no standard price and that they will price games based on what they feel it's worth.
He said my world price is not setting a precedent and that other Nintendo games will be cheaper.
It's kind of like with the Wii U when they brought in lower priced first party games like Captain toad and Kirby's rainbow curse. Except this is going in the opposite direction.
New Star Wars from Respawn is reportedly called Star Wars: Zero Company
08.04.25 - The Star Wars game in the works at Respawn is said to be called Star Wars: Zero Company. This is reported MP1ST.com with reference to unspecified sources.
According to the report, the presentation is planned for 19.04.25, when the Star Wars Celebration takes place in Japan. First internal screenshots show a turn-based tactics game with isometric perspective. You can see characters such as Mandalorians, a droid and stormtroopers.
The scene is set in a rescue mission. It takes place in an industrial environment. The Kafrene Mining Colony serves as the central location. There is an in-game node with areas such as Armory, Holotable, Special Operations and Black Market.
The title was in development internally under the name "Bruno". Content details are limited so far. However, the concept has a clear focus on tactical group management. Respawn and EA have not confirmed the report.
A 90 day pause on the tariffs seems like it puts Nintendo in a rough spot. Things can still go either way after 90 days but Nintendo needs to figure out the price real soon since they are sticking to the June 5th launch. They should probably keep the initial price the same and hope for the best.
Just read an article in which was claimed that should apple bring production of the iPhone to the US the price would rise by 300%.
Trump doesn't have the patience to see this through. It'd take years for companies to bring production to the US. I'm sure every big company is thinking the same. I'm sticking with my assumption that this is just a move to get the higher ground in negotiations, but if other countries show patience and resolve, this could backfire big time.

Of course Nintendo always sells at a profit. I feel like they will adjust the price with the assumption that the tariffs be in effect and leave nothing to chance.

I saw a NBC news video specifically about Switch 2. The analyst said it would cost billions and take 5 years for Nintendo to begin producing consoles in American.
And that still wouldn't work as most parts are manufactured in Asia and would have to be imported anyway.
I don't think America has the right skills and resources to develop advanced microchips like Tawain and Korea can.
I'm not sure if any of you guys are aware of the adult Happy Meals that McDonald's is doing for the Minecraft Movie, but whoever put the plan into motion should probably get their quarterly bonus. I've had to pop into McDonald's twice over the past couple days, and it's been insane seeing how many people are picking these things up.
Granted, the location I visited was directly across the street from a major university, so you couldn't do better than that place in hitting the target market - AKA young adults who grew up playing Minecraft as kids. But both times I've dropped in they were packed and people were leaving with one or two of these Happy meals.
And they're actually kind of expensive. My son got one and it was $16 for one with a large drink and large fries. From what I can tell, that's a $5 surcharge for getting the box and toy. Anyway, good on them. Even in these turbulent times, McDonald's is apparently still a safe investment.

I want to get Cyberpunk but I need to see if it ends up performing decently enough.

So are videogame tarriffs on pause for ninety days. Quick, let me preorder!
Was wondering if you guys have tried Ai the Somnium files series?
They announced the 3rd game at the Switch 1 direct. It's PC and Nintendo only.
The older games I believe are on PS and Xbox too.
I bought the first on sale and loved it. It's a fully voice acted Phoenix Wright style game without the trials and often hilarious.
It deals with dark themes but then adds the ludicrous. I bought the sequel the Nirvana Initiative but haven't started it yet.
Anyone tempted to jump in? I think the first game is like $5 recently.
The Switch version is quite jaggy though, so other versions might be better. I'm using Mclassic on it, it helps but it's not a cure all.
