The cassette cases are really cool! I keep my Gameboy games in custom DS cases. It’s really nice having all of my gba/DS games looking uniform on the shelf. I kind of wish the Switch had kept that form factor.

I agree, sales are constant (at least on PC) so I almost never even paid the $60 price tag. They can keep cranking up the prices but more and more people may just wait for sales. I know Nintendo games don’t go on sale very often but that makes the ecosystem even less attractive. $450 is in the range of a Steam deck.

Inflation or not, prices can only go up if the market will support them. If people are unable (or unwilling) to pay the higher prices, then prices basically can’t go up.

One of the things I really like about the Switch is that I can actually buy a whole physical game that doesn’t need an Internet connection. Sure, I have to check a website first, but I can at least curate my wishlist with games that are complete on cart.

At least them giving it a new name makes choosing games easier, I guess.

I think achievements are great for when you’ve finished a game but you want to keep playing it. A fun, additional challenge for when you’re not ready to be done with a game. Emphasis on fun though; you could easily design boring or frustrating achievements.

I love how the SP looks. The original feels better in the hand but the clamshell looks so good and it feels great to open and close.

I’m tempted to get a foldable as my next phone because I miss that design.

Burnout 3 on PC would be a dream. It’s one of the reasons I still keep my 360 around.
