Yeah easy pass on models and Robot Spirits figures, but I love the overall premise, and episode 1 was great so I'm certainly looking forward to more. -
Meh, I'll stick with the new MonsterArts, not a fan of the proportions on this guy, that's a big ol head. And maybe I'm wrong, but did they drop the beam effect from the original release, that isn't even out yet, and include it with this one now instead? Either way, I'm excited for Shimo to drop, that figure looks great, and it's insane Bandai is charging four times as much for their release that looks similarly sized, but with less paint apps?

Nobody waste time on Woman in the Yard, it was awful.

Yeah I've enjoyed every season so I'm certainly in for another.

Looks good to me, I'm definitely in.

Forbes, IGN, Gamespot, Ars Technica, looks like walmart.com briefly listed $80 for World digital, not seeing $50 anywhere unless you buy the bundle, which is disingenuous to the price considering not everyone wants the game and will buy the bundle, that's the bundle price not the stand alone game's price. At this point it's on Nintendo to clear things up then, plenty of listings went up from different retailers for varying prices, most showing $80 for digital Mario Kart. It's not about the fall of the industry, more about plenty of people have gotten tired of Nintendo's nonsense, pricing, business tactics, and now being the biggest of the big three they're making some very Ubisoft decision with the Switch 2. Once again then, Nintendo needs to give more details. What games are actually on cart? What about the Switch 2 game upgrade pricing for Switch 1 games? They're vagueness and lack of details aren't helping the situation at all. Plenty of leaks and accidental listings have proven true for just about every detail about Switch 2, until Nintendo officially clears some of this up I have zero reason to believe most of this nonsense I'm reading is true. Years of, at minimum questionable business tactics, lack of care for game preservation, insane prices for hardware and software, the joycon debacle, pushing the digital future into the mainstream with a lack of details on pricing or ownership, bullying game devs with lawsuits and being crap when it comes to the rom community and those trying to achieve game preservation themselves where Nintendo doesn't want to, or will in a stupid way that costs too much and the results are half-assed, fumbling the FGC side of Smash and once again using legal action to resolve take-downs on fan led tournaments and meet-ups, subpar online services for years, lack of flexible users options for managing games and saves requiring a paid fee for basic features their competitors offer for free, reluctance until now to embrace modern gaming trends, price to performance concerns, premium prices for outdated tech, expensive accessories and controllers, limited sales on old games from years ago, unfriendly tactics against people posting Nintendo game footage online for Let's Plays and Youtube videos once again sorting to legal action when unnecessary. My first console was a Nintendo, not SNES, just the OG Nintendo home console, I loved it, and I've had every console since, all the handhelds, I love Nintendo, but also, frakk Nintendo. Since the Switch I've been side-eyeing them hard for tons of dumb crap they pull, and get away with, things other devs or companies would get absolutely drug for, but it's Nintendo and everybody loves Mario and Zelda. Plenty of people have gotten tired of modern Nintendo's shenanigans, it's nothing new, Switch 2 seems to be the tipping point for some folks, myself included.

Oh I know, it's just a bummer that with Nintendo being one of the big three, the biggest of the three, we're now officially here. Ubisoft caught flack for their stance on the matter, and their comments about gamers needing to get comfortable no longer truly "owning" their games, Sony and Microsoft have been doing it too, so there's been precedent. I just felt my Switch 1 library was vastly more physical then digital. If/when I ever grab a Switch 2, that's no longer really a thing.

Some third party games required a download as well, and only had partial data on the cartridge, or as much data as the cartridge could fit like you mentioned, and if I remember right, all third party only, not first party Nintendo. Nintendo's first party titles always required an update, that's just how it is these days, but you could just pop a game in, install it, then run it even without an update the majority of the time. Unfortunately it's another vague detail, "some" games will be a totally digital download, and apparently "some" games will have partial data on the physical insert key, apparently each box will specify if a game requires an additional download as well. No word on if all third party games will require an additional download, or if they'll go the Series X/PS5 route and just have 50-100MB on the "key" then make you just download the entire game. I'm also having a hard time finding which actual Nintendo first party games will require a download as well, as you mentioned I'd expect Nintendo first party titles to be on cartridge/key like Switch 1, but I guess we'll see. The idea of not having cartridges I can just pop in and have the whole game on ready to go sounds awful, especially when advertised as "physical" versions of the game. If people are basically just using the "key" in these physical games as a download token do they still need to be inserted even though the majority, or possibly all of the data, will be digitally downloaded and not actually running off the physical key/cart? Will the "key" in the box even be necessary to insert once you download the game? It just feels like following Ubisoft in one of the worst gaming trends, you own nothing, you only pay for access to a license, now that's the case even if you buy "physical".

Rockstar said GTA VI could be $100, now Nintendo set a new precedent, and if I was Rockstar, I'd certainly be thinking why not? Also. https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2025/04/02/nintendo-switch-2-flips-the-switch-on-80-90-games/ Not all Switch 2 games will be $80 or $90, but some absolutely will be, I'd guess all Nintendo first party titles, or since it's Nintendo, whichever ones they feel like charging that much for depending on how shitty they feel that day. Mario Cart is merely one example, getting a discount buying it bundled is great, but if you don't the price is what it is, too much IMO. Also, also. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/some-physical-nintendo-switch-2-games-will-be-download-only-game-key-cards Physical games are a code in a box, for $10 more when they decide to charge this nonsense. I don't care about Steam, Steam is a mess of shovelware, pure garbage, and nonsense, it shouldn't be compared to Nintendo getting blatantly absurd with their pricing. If you're okay with all this more power to you, the more this kind of bullshit gets normalized and people try to justify it the worse it will get, Nintendo will learn and change nothing, and bottom line, Nintendo is setting a new standard for absurd pricing for mainstream games. I'm not new in thinking and feeling this way, since yesterday people have been, rightfully, blowing up about this. these prices are awful, Nintendo sucks and has for a good while as far as customer good will goes, they coast by on their IPs but they are worse then Sony and Microsoft as far as games companies go, that's how I feel bottom line.

Yeah I'll take one, I like Bandai's newer R 19 mold, it's a fun little toy.

Jesus, $80 for some digital games, $90 for physical? And the physical literally isn't even a cartridge with the game on it, it's just a box with a code in it, meaning it's still digital, but you get a box, for $90? Nintendo will get away with it I'm sure, it's Nintendo, doubt I'll be buying in anytime soon, looks cool and all, some solid games for sure and real third party support, but Nintendo can frakk right off with their continued nonsense.

I mean, obviously BBTS isn't able to get these directly, they pay retail and pay to ship to them, then resell, gotta jack up prices to cover their costs and make profit, or it makes zero sense to carry and sell the item.

Yikes that Maximum Series is, certainly something... I've seen three reviews for Spidey, not great, especially at that price point. And this Hulk? None of the heads do it for me, and the pinned legs are just, meh.
-
Honestly, I was expecting $400, think I'll wait at $450, nothing at launch looks like anything I need.

Cool, I'd love to see a team-up with DD now that he's broken back into the MCU, Spidey even got a name drop on DD Reborn in episode 1.
