They walked back most of the tariffs since then, "lmao". Do you live in a different temporal reality?

The choice to use cartridges over CDs is a major reason there was limited third-party support.
I had both consoles at some point, both had their advantages and disadvantages. The PlayStation had capacity to do bigger and better things with sharper music and videos, but the loading times for doing just about anything were near intolerable. N64 loaded quickly and played smoothly, but was limited in what it could do and had unique graphical capabilities.
In retrospect I have more nostalgia for N64 but it's probably because I owned it first.

N64 games also cost a fortune because of the cartridges. Renting games as an option eased that a bit back then but the console would have been completely crushed if it was released in that state today. It would have performed as bad or even worse than the Wii U.

No it was obvious what was going to happen with anyone who had a clue.
Which is why the stock market tanked? Clearly want obvious to everyone. And good chance it would have been cheaper without the threat of tariffs, some of that may have already been priced in

And with anyone who knows anything, they know the price will be back to where it was in no time.

Yea, it would have been just an excuse for them to raise it, if they did. They didn't, follow along.

I know we established earlier that you can't read articles people post, but now you can't even read your own posts when I quote them for you?
Here is your prediction again, since you somehow missed it last time:
That's what your prediction was. Now you're claiming you didn't expect the price to increase? Why try to lie about something like that?

The delay wasn’t about tariffs anyway. Nintendo was hoping the backlash to their outrageous decisions would die down.
Still not buying this steaming turd. I’ll just play the first Switch for a few more years.

Looks like for Canada, Walmart will begin preorders tonight at midnight EST while most other retailers will begin tomorrow at noon EST.
Ended up securing my preorder through Best Buy who started their queue late. Was in queue for almost an hour. Had a bundle in my cart on Target two minutes in but the purchase never went through. Apparently they're canceling pre-orders left and right. Scalpers ruin everything.

No Preorder for me. $500 to pay a remastered BOTW is not worth it. Maybe after more games come out. The DK game looks like a boring Mario Oddyssey skin.

I saw that the Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle costs $700 CAD. My Switch cost me under $400 CAD with a game and my most expensive console purchase was my PS5 with a disc drive at $500 CAD. Just pure madness.

Was able to secure a pre-order of the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle on Walmart's site at about 12:15am. Took me about 10 tries of adding to cart and checking out before it finally went through. The site experience in those 15 minutes was predictably a shitshow.
As soon as I received my order confirmation email I received another stating that there's a delay with the item...which from what I'm reading a lot of people were advised of the same. Oh well, at least the order was confirmed and the charge pending on my card.
$800 after taxes which is a BIG yikes.
