Two gamers have filed a class action lawsuit against Nintendo, alleging that the company will be unjustly enriching itself with any refund it secures from the U.S. government over widespread tariffs last year that, among other things, hiked the prices of Nintendo hardware and accessories.

“Unless restrained by this Court, Nintendo stands to recover the same tariff payments twice—once from consumers through higher prices and again from the federal government through tariff refunds, including interest paid by the government on those funds,” the suit states.

Nintendo: you know what? Fuck you. Our prices just went up for you. Games are $120 now. Fuck you, you'll still buy our pokemon slop we spent 0 effort making. Mario? Yep, $120, but now when he jumps he says "fucka youuuu!" You'll still buy it, because Mario.

    I've been ootl on Pokemon since y/x, and even was barely paying attention before someone else bought it for me. But the shit I saw when sword shield(? First switch title) was wild. They really were just phoning it in, and people still bought everything else they dropped! The only reason I got a switch was for prime 4, and likely won't be getting a switch 2. Sucks watching my nostalgia be abused in real time.

    You can still enjoy the games you are nostalgic for with emulators.

    I think emulators and ROM hacks are where it's at. Screw new games.

    FR lack of backwards compatibility is what kept me from getting one for the longest time, got one, I played Metroid Dread, despite only being available for that console that is not the system it plays best on. Now I have a cheap SBC, It's sad when a $30 handheld can smoke a name brand

    You reminded me of a b rated movie about some old coots in NY. There's a kid who says that to anything anyone says to him.

    Gaming is better than ever, what are you talking about? So many good Indie games. If you have a mid range desktop pc from the past decade, there's a whole world of games to play. You'll never be able to play them all! Just forget about the AAA games. Fuck those.
