I don't see Starfox doing much at all but Raiders should cause a notable boost even if it won't be a Splatoon 4 level one. While no longer good its current sales are still fine so I'm not worried at all.

To avoid moderation. 😅 

Is the f word allowed? I don't remember. 😝

Also a friend of mine has glued it to my mind, caralho for every circumstance! 

Honestly I have had no problem with moderation using fuck here, but it is very rarely aimed at a person when I use it, it's mostly for companies when I'm mad at then, so I wouldn't recommed you to tell it to other people, lol.

Caralho is indeed quite a common thing to say around here, it's pretty much not considered swearing on most cases I would say, more of a natural reaction to being surprised, but it does get used as a common light swearing too.

But thanks for the reply, I was considering you might be a brazilian living in Greece lol.

Switch 1 isn’t looking all too hot at the moment… ouch. Are JP consumers finally moving on from NS1? Was the price hike truly the nail in the coffin? (Or perhaps a shortage?)

Price hike was very large. Ranging from 25% to 36% depending on model. Much bigger price hike than the Switch 2 which was already large (20%)

The price gap between OLED and SW2 decreased from 31% to 25%. It's hard to justify not spending only 25% more for the next-gen console.

Would be like buying a $400 PS4 instead of a $500 PS5 in 2021 lol.

What was the difference in price between them, before the hikes ? (in dollars, in Japan)

nothing looks good on this list, nothing... all consoles are tanking hard and fast

Yea .. the whole gaming industry has gone down.. PS5 and Series are way worse than what their previous generations were, and for Nintendo well, Switch 1 hold up the things quite well, but overall the downward trend may continue with Switch 2. Either way it's not looking to improve. Gaming overall is on a lot weaker state than it was 10 years ago, let alone 20..

I’d agree from an economic perspective though definitely not from a software perspective. Indies and third-party have really pulled through these past six years: Elden Ring, Baldur’s Gate, Tears of the Kingdom, Astro Bot, Pizza Tower, Mina the Hollower, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and so much more.
