The Saturn managed to do well in Japan after a soft relaunch with a new marketing campaign

The only game Nintendo’s charged $70 for so far is Tears of the Kingdom, which your description doesn’t match at all

Glad I never made an account there

I think it’ll be the recent past, showing how Lumiose came to be what it is in X/Y. A prequel story could do wonders for X/Y, fleshing out Lysandre with an actual backstory could make him interesting.

It was more than a reskin, with a new catching system based on Pokémon Go, but yeah, the area design was pretty much already done

Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee actually ran well, with only occasional dips. Not sure how their first Switch outing was also their most polished…

And sometimes, a game gets a patch that actually makes it worse

Rumor has it that the Switch 2 was going to be revealed this month, but got delayed. I assume this is a partner showcase because Nintendo promised third-parties a direct this month but aren’t ready to show off what they’re working on

Except without the GamePad’s uses for giving one player exclusive information in local multiplayer or the touch screen actually being used in games.

Microtransactions need to be regulated the way casinos are. Companies won’t do the right thing unless they are forced to.

Half-Life 2 Episode 3!

The game has sold over 2 million copies. They do not need to do this, they were already raking in the money

Capcom’s aggressive monetization is killing my desire to play this game. There’s so much I like, but they’ve made the monetization impossible to ignore

The Switch uses MicroSD cards too

They’ve charged more for differently-colored controllers for a while.

Considering how Bethesda under Microsoft has treated its trans workers, I don’t think Activision will get any better

Nintendo handhelds have always had weaker specs, just compare the Game Boy to its contemporaries. They usually prioritize battery life, cost, and some sort of gimmick, for lack of a better term
